Born today, you may not always be the best when it comes to taking control and leading others through the difficult times, but you have a genuine talent for providing support and backup. This means there will always be a place for you with those who do, for whatever reason, find themselves in the driver's seat. You have a great many valuable and marketable skills, and you know how to make others feel comfortable, confident and capable. You are, in fact, the one person whom many others would want around when trouble is brewing.
When you do have the chance to step into the leading role and call the shots, you can do so -- up to a point. You do not always have the foresight that others might, but then foresight is not always needed. Your special talent is in dealing with things as they arise -- solving problems, often as instructed, rather than anticipating or avoiding them.
Also born on this date are: Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens, actor; Barbara Bach, actress and model; Tuesday Weld, actress; Daryl Dragon, musician; Martha Raye, actress and entertainer; Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. president.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll receive more warnings about a danger that has been looming in front of you for quite a while. Today it feels much more real.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll begin the day moving down one path, and end it moving down another, very different one. What caused this change?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important for you to keep your house in order. You may be called upon to answer not only for yourself, but for others under your care.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can overcome a physical difficulty and do something that may well be remembered for quite some time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While you may be required to follow another's lead, you can do so in a way that lets others know what you are truly capable of.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may receive news from an unusual source that sets you down a completely new and unfamiliar path. It's exciting!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself working side-by-side with someone you've not worked with before, but he or she is already in sync with you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Help comes to you from a surprising source. Take care that you're not so surprised that you are unable to get your work done!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can identify one or two things that are more valuable to you than anything else -- you'll want to hang on to them!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be at the mercy of your own emotions throughout much of the day. Later on, a good friend will be able to pull you down to earth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A message that comes to you through official channels may not seem to offer much of value until you look at it from another angle.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You know what is required of you, but you may not feel that you are up to the task. You're merely fooling yourself, of course!
