Jupiter widens the sign — more appetite, more optimism, and less patience with detail. The middle ten degrees are the sign at full strength: past the entry, not yet leaning toward what follows.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.

Every figure here is specific to 4 August: the Moon returns to a given phase on the same calendar date only every 19 years or so, so the counts differ from one date to the next. Mercury’s retrograde periods drift by about 30° of the zodiac each year, which is why the share is near 20% but never identical. How that 20% is computed →

The sign column never changes; only the number does.

Life path numbers this date produces

The most frequent is 7 with 12 years; the scarcest is 6 with just 11. No master number is possible on this date at all — every year reduces to a single digit. That is not true of most dates, and it is a property of these two numbers rather than of anything astrological.

Why the answer holds

4 August sits 12 days past the start of Leo and reached 12.14° this year — far enough from either boundary that no birth year or hour changes it. The question worth asking on this date is where in the sign, not which sign.
