Born today, you are likely to enjoy one or two remarkable, perhaps unique, opportunities in your lifetime, and they may well be a basis upon which you can build an entire career -- or even an entire life! You may not seek fame and fortune, but they may find their way to you nevertheless. You have a charismatic personality, and a way of getting yourself involved in important endeavors that reflect well upon you, both personally and professionally. You will never shrink from a challenge; indeed, you are likely to learn how to turn fear into enthusiasm and motivation.
You're not one to blow your own horn, but neither are you one to keep others from blowing it for you! You do enjoy being the center of attention and winning praise from others -- provided you have earned it in an honest, genuine manner. There is, in fact, nothing artificial about you at all.
Also born on this date are: Neil Armstrong, astronaut; Maureen McCormick, actress; Patrick Ewing, basketball player; Loni Anderson, actress; John Huston, actor and filmmaker; Terri Clark, singer; Jonathan Silverman, actor; Jesse Williams, actor.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be puzzled by the way the day progresses, but don't let yourself be distracted by the unusual! Focus on assigned tasks.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can give another the help he or she needs without hindering your own progress in any way. Is a partnership in the making?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can accomplish more during morning hours than you can in the afternoon, so you'll want to "front load" your day accordingly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may be entirely unaware of what you are trying to accomplish. It's up to you whether you want to share your intentions or not.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may receive news that compels you to act a way that others may think is out of character -- but it most certainly is not!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone may be impressed with your overall knowledge of a topic that usually leaves people disinterested. You can make something happen!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are not likely to respond as expected to someone else's overtures. There are hidden issues that perhaps you must explain.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your life and the lives of others may be temporarily affected by a common threat, but by day's end, you can increase the level of safety.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not have what it takes to say what needs to be said -- at least until you are sure that the facts are indeed the facts!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone is on your mind, and you can bet that you are on his or hers as well. There is more going on than you might suppose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will surely find someone else's abilities very attractive, but take care not to say something you will regret!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you want from another isn't likely to be granted today -- or tomorrow, either. Still, you can surely maintain a healthy dynamic.
