Born today, you are a gifted individual, one upon whom the stars shone brightly at your conception and birth, and upon whom they will continue to shine throughout your lifetime. This doesn't mean, of course, that you will not experience your share of hardship or heartache. Indeed, you may actually see more of each than the average individual -- if for no other reason than that you live your life on a broader scale than most, so you will experience more of both the good and the bad, and you must be prepared for this. Let the good thrust you too high or the bad sink you too low, and you may lose touch with yourself; you must avoid such extremes at all costs.
You have an interesting and unique way of doing things -- even things that others have done again and again in the past. You take what has been done before and give it your own spin, do it your own way and stamp it with your own personal mark. This ultimately makes it quite memorable -- and perhaps even immortal.
Also born on this date are: Michael Jackson, singer; Ingrid Bergman, actress; Lea Michele, actress and singer; John McCain, politician; Isabel Sanford, actress; Elliott Gould, actor; Charlie "Bird" Parker, musician; John Locke, philosopher; Sir Richard Attenborough, actor and filmmaker; Rebecca De Mornay, actress; Robin Leach, television host.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 30
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're going to realize that you are in control of far more than you thought you were. This realization can be transformative.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you do on your own behalf may not be as important as what you do on another's. Your generosity is a powerful force.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your attention is required in a certain area that you usually don't explore. You'll be the only one who can set things right.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- To reclaim something that was lost quite a while ago, you may have to step out of your comfort zone. A key personal issue is resolved.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're ready to work on a collaborative project, but members of your team may not realize that time is of the essence. Take charge!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When things are going your way, your attitude and outlook will be positive and forward-thinking. But when they're not -- look out!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to get important and necessary clues from someone who doesn't even realize he's in a key position. Make this known.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be faced with a task that appears to be too much for you -- at first. Later, after some study, you'll find a way in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have trouble translating what you are told into usable bits of information. Where's the disconnect?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're not likely to get all the answers from the usual sources. It may be frustrating, but more questions can be useful, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're ready to accomplish more -- and be rewarded accordingly. It's time for you to up the ante and increase your commitment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others may notice that you're beginning to slide back into an old routine that wasn't good for you before -- and certainly isn't now.
