In short
The Sun sits at about 8° Aries on March 29, in the first decan, so this is an Aries birthday. The switch from Pisces happened more than a week earlier, so there is no cusp question for this date.

Aries, clear of the cusp
The Sun sits at about 8° Aries on March 29. That is well past the Pisces border, so this is a clear Aries date in every year, with no cusp to sort out.
The degree is worth a closer look. Eight degrees places you near the end of the first decan, the most concentrated stretch of Aries, with the next decan a couple of days ahead. You can confirm your exact position, along with your Moon and Rising, in the birth chart calculator.
A week into spring
The March equinox, around March 20, opens the zodiac’s year and Aries season with it. By March 29 the Northern Hemisphere has had about a week of days longer than nights. Daylight saving time is already in force across most of the US, so the evenings suddenly feel roomy.
It is the season of first things. The first warm afternoon, the first bike ride and the first open window all land now. Lawns turn from brown to green in a few days, and the sign shares that burst of momentum.
Mars, then Mars again
Mars rules Aries. It is the planet of drive, courage and conflict. The first decan, from 0° to 10°, has Mars as co-ruler too. March 29 people get that planet twice, and it shows.
Mars here means motion more than anger. A March 29 person signs up for the charity run the day they hear about it and figures out training later. They answer a work email in two minutes while others are still drafting. They would rather fix the wrong thing fast than wait for the perfect plan.
Late in the decan
Sitting at 8° instead of 1° matters. The very first degrees of Aries can be raw and impulsive. By 8°, the Mars energy has had practice. It is still fast, now with some aim. Many March 29 people learn early that speed works best with a target.
Two days later the Sun enters the second decan, co-ruled by the Sun itself, which adds pride and a taste for the spotlight. A trace of that already colors this birthday. March 29 people like to win where others can see it.
Honest heat in love
In romance, March 29 people are straightforward. If they are interested, you will know. They enjoy the early spark and like partners who keep some challenge alive, like a debate over dinner or a weekend hike picked on short notice.
Arguments flare and pass. After a fight, a March 29 person shows up an hour later with takeout and says, “Okay, I was too sharp. Can we start over?” They don’t stay mad, and partners who need a few days puzzle them. For pairing details, see Aries compatibility.
First through the door at work
March 29 people shine at launches, pitches, turnarounds and anything that needs someone to go first. Pressure feels like fuel to them. If a deadline moves up, they meet it with energy to spare.
The long middle of a project is harder, when the excitement fades and the work turns repetitive. Visible milestones, like a short list they can cross off, keep them engaged. Aries is a cardinal sign, a starter by nature, so a patient finisher on the team brings out their best.
The one who says “let’s go”
Among friends, March 29 people say “Let’s go” and mean now. They organize the spontaneous trip, the last-minute game night and the pickup basketball. Friends rely on them to get things moving.
They value directness and can be blunt. Friends who like a straight answer treasure them. Gentler friends may need them to slow down and ask before giving advice. A March 29 birthday is active more than formal. Think bowling or an escape room, followed by a big casual meal.
Fire that needs a direction
As a fire sign, Aries runs on enthusiasm and action. With double Mars, March 29 people get restless when there is nothing to push against. Many keep a personal challenge going at all times. It could be a skill to learn, a record to beat or a project with a deadline they set themselves.
Before saying yes to a new commitment, they can ask, “What will I stop doing to make room?” That one question protects a lot of energy.

The rest of your chart
A March 29 Sun shows where the drive comes from. The Moon, the Rising sign, planet strength and element balance show how it plays out day to day. A March 29 Aries with a Cancer Moon leads in a far gentler way than one with a Leo Moon. Read the big three guide to see how these pieces fit.
