Born on August 29
Your Sun is in Virgo, about 6° in — the first decan, where Virgo's core takes on a Sun flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.
Your sign: Virgo
The mutable earth sign that notices everything and refines until it works.
A Virgo Sun has an analytical mind paired with a service orientation — a rare combination. You're the person who actually reads the manual, who notices what's off in the system, who stays late to make sure the thing works the way it's supposed to. You're not loud about it. You just do the work.

Your decan: the first decan of Virgo
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 0–10 of Virgo belong to Sun: the core of who you are — your conscious identity, your will, your essential self. Read it as Virgo with a Sun accent — the earth core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Eight of Pentacles
Skill · Diligence · Mastery. The card assigned to this ten-degree slice of the zodiac — a birthday card in the same sense a sun sign is a birthday sign: one lens on the date, not a verdict.

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Virgos born on August 29 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions
What zodiac sign is August 29?
August 29 is Virgo, the mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. The Sun sits at roughly 6° Virgo on this date, in the first decan.
What decan is August 29?
The first decan of Virgo (0°–10°), sub-ruled by Sun. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here the core of who you are — your conscious identity, your will, your essential self.
What tarot card is August 29?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the first decan of Virgo it is the Eight of Pentacles (skill, diligence, mastery). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on August 29 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Virgo, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born August 29 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
