Born today, you are the kind of person around whom other people always seem to feel comfortable and at home -- even complete strangers. You have the ability to meet and greet others in a fashion that doesn't seem at all artificial, but rather warm and genuinely interested in their health and well-being. Throughout your lifetime, you will be able to use this ability to your distinct advantage -- though you must be careful that it doesn't become so automatic as to be insincere. You must always be true to yourself and genuine with others, and let your natural care and concern shine through. You really do like people, and you appreciate the wide diversity of the world's population. You yearn to travel and enjoy a variety of experiences in other lands.
Because you know what makes people tick so well, you are seldom surprised by what happens around you -- except when it comes to love. Indeed, in this one area, you may not display the confidence you are usually known for. You are not the kind to pursue and court, but rather to be pursued and courted. Anyone who wants a relationship with you must understand this simple concept.
Also born on this date are: George Hamilton, actor; Casey Affleck, actor; Erwin Schrodinger, physicist; Buck Owens, singer; Mark Knopfler, singer and musician; Cecil B. DeMille, filmmaker; Pete Sampras, tennis player; Bruce Greenwood, actor; Cantinflas, actor; Jane Wyatt, actress; Pat Metheny, guitarist; William Goldman, screenwriter; Christy Mathewson, baseball player.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 13
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're more concerned with "where" and "when" than with "why," but it's this last question that must be answered before the day is out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The moment you begin denying what is already widely known is the moment you risk losing the respect of someone important to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your actions are likely to strain credulity. A friend has your back, however, and may well provide you with your most valuable marketing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can bounce back quickly, but perhaps it's better to avoid certain foreseeable hazards in the first place!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Any difficulties you encounter can be minimized simply by approaching them with the correct outlook. Nothing is as bad as it seems.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to go with Plan B because of something a rival has done to stand between you and the most logical path.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Timing isn't everything; it's the only thing -- or close to it. You must keep your eye on the clock, even as you improvise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know how to do a certain something much better than a rival. This is a case of training as well as suitability for the task.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your eyes will be opened to an opportunity you have been overlooking for far too long -- and it won't be around forever!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get around a roadblock without sacrificing either speed or progress. Someone you know will make a spectacle of him- or herself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The demands made on you may push you to the brink, but your rational nature will keep you from doing what can't be undone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not recognize what is right in front of you. Someone you know only casually will take on a more important role than usual.
