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.

A century of 5 August

Day of the year 218 of 366

Every figure here is specific to 5 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 8 with 12 years; the scarcest is 7 with just 11. And this date can carry a master number: 22 in 11 of those years. Master numbers are never reduced further, which is exactly why they are scarcer than single digits on any fixed day and month. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →

Why the answer holds

5 August sits 13 days past the start of Leo and reached 13.09° 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.
