Born today, you are likely to pursue a single line of endeavor until it has paid off as handsomely as you wish, but that doesn't mean that you will do this only once! Indeed, you may enjoy two, three, even four highly successful careers in your lifetime, for like so many others born under your sign, you're not about to be restricted or limited by what others have done, what they expect you to do or what they think about what you are doing at any given time. The opinions of others do matter at times, surely, but you never let them weigh more heavily on you than they should; you always try to see things proportionally.
You have great staying power, and you are likely to be around long after others have decided to retire or call it quits -- or have simply faded from the scene. You may be remembered for one particular accomplishment over all others, but that will never stop you from branching out.
Also born on this date are: Tom Brady, football player; John Landis, filmmaker; Martha Stewart, domestic expert; Martin Sheen, actor; Tony Bennett, singer.
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 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be able to keep up a steady pace, simply because environmental influences are likely to wax and wane unpredictably.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can avoid a major conflict simply by trusting your instincts and remaining somewhat aloof.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can support your rather unusual position in ways that cannot be contested by others. You're feeling strong, capable and confident.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be working with facts and figures, but you can do so with a dose of creativity that allows you greater freedom to explore.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may receive instructions today that are meant to clarify, of course, but they do nothing of the kind. You can explore on your own.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're going to want to make some very important plans even though it is far ahead of time. You'll need time to prepare.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can exceed the expectations of those around you simply by doing what you know how to do. Don't let insecurity derail you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must think about how your behavior affects those around you, especially loved ones. Don't do anything you cannot undo!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're likely to get to the bottom of something that has proven a mystery to you for the past two or three years!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be excited to learn that what you feared might happen isn't going to happen, and now you're free to explore other options.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're responsible for a great deal that must happen, but not necessarily all at once. Be sure to prioritize and schedule carefully.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Influences that you cannot see, but which are felt every moment, are likely to ease up some, but that doesn't mean you're on your own.
