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 28 July: 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 3 with 12 years; the scarcest is 11 with just 11. And this date can carry a master number: 11 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

28 July sits 5 days past the start of Leo and reached 5.44° 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.
