Your Birthday | August 17th, 2014

Born today, you are perhaps one of the most independent of all Leo natives, but this is meant in no way to suggest that you are solitary or reclusive. On the contrary, you thrive in the company of others, and you work best as a member of a finely tuned, carefully integrated team. That said, however, you insist on doing your part in your own way, and though you can certainly learn from others, you are by no means a copycat. Everything you learn becomes part of a highly unique and carefully layered approach -- to work and to life -- that is yours alone.

You are drawn to any good cause, and the more the odds are stacked against you, the more you are willing to go to the ends of the earth to see your cause prevail. Fortunately, you have been endowed with great resourcefulness and good luck, and these are likely to combine to bring you a great many remarkable successes.

Also born on this date are: Robert De Niro, actor; Dustin Pedroia, baseball player; Donnie Wahlberg, actor; Sean Penn, actor; Davy Crockett, politician and soldier; Mae West, actress; Maureen O'Hara, actress; Belinda Carlisle, 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.

MONDAY, AUGUST 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may try to persuade you against your own will, but you are confident that you are in the right and feel you will prevail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Despite a minor setback, you should be able to perform your duties well. You may even complete certain tasks ahead of schedule.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The task of cleaning up another's work is likely to fall to you, but you have the know-how necessary to make any changes seamless.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're beginning a phase marked by transition, and this will result in a certain amount of uncertainty. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You catch sight of something in the distance that provides you with both inspiration and trepidation. You can achieve a balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be startled by comparisons between you and someone with whom you had assumed you had little in common.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) -- You may be engaged as a messenger at some point. Take care to understand and deliver the message exactly as given to you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be asked to share opinions that you fear may not be all that popular. One or two others will surely be on your side, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't simply stand by and let others pass judgment on you. Step up, explain yourself and support your own position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Manners and presentation will count for much, but nothing will make up for a lack of content or quality. Have both in abundance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have the opportunity to recount an episode from your past that provides an important lesson to all your listeners.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll give others food for thought as you do certain things that no one else is able to match. What is your secret?

Your Birthday for August 16, 2014

Your Birthday | August 16th, 2014

Born today, you know who you are, you know what you want, you know how to get it, and you know where it is likely to lead you. All of this provides you with a confidence that is remarkable, even for one born under a sign noted for its strength and confidence! You may have been one of the most rebellious of children, doing precisely what you wanted to do when you wanted to do it, regardless of the consequences. On the other hand, you may also have been the perfect child, following instructions to the letter and doing precisely what you were told -- only to break out as a young adult to find your own path and your own voice.

Much of what you will do in your professional life will be groundbreaking and will reflect a willingness in your personal life to do what is right, not what you are "supposed" to do. Like all good Leo natives, you stand up for your own independence, and the independence of others as well.

Also born on this date are: Madonna, singer; Steve Carell, actor; Angela Bassett, actress; James Cameron, director; Kathie Lee Gifford, TV personality; Julie Newmar, actress; Timothy Hutton, actor; Eydie Gorme, singer; Fess Parker, actor; Robert Culp, actor; Lesley Ann Warren, actress; Bob Balaban, actor.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Trust in what you have learned recently to see you through a situation that is suddenly much more complex than you had anticipated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You needn't give 100 percent today until you are ready to demonstrate your talents in all their glory. That time is coming!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone who claims to be working with you is actually making plans behind your back. You can uncover the plot before night falls.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be the only person who can stay another from intentions that will only prove hazardous if brought to fruition.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have a suggestion that isn't going to fly with the powers-that-be until you have a chance to demonstrate what you have in mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day to take it from the top, as others will be curious to see what you have going, and will be eager to take part with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- There's something in the air that has you feeling as though you won't have to wait long for a rather dramatic and lasting change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- One thing leads seamlessly to the next throughout much of the day, but you can expect to encounter a road bump, perhaps, as night falls.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may feel as though someone is holding you back, but the truth is that you are standing in your own way. It's time to move more freely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can contribute something that makes a difference to all concerned -- though you may not be rewarded directly for some time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to think a bit more than usual about protecting yourself -- physically and emotionally. Certain threats are unavoidable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be on the lookout for the kinds of errors that can cause problems not only for you, but for those around you.

Your Birthday for August 15, 2014

Your Birthday | August 15th, 2014

Born today, you aren't the kind to do a thing simply because you are expected to do so or supposed to do so, or because someone in authority has told you to do it. Rather, you will do a thing for one reason only: because it captivates your imagination and your will, providing you with a reason for living that takes precedence over all other motives in life -- save, perhaps, one or two key personal relationships. You are rather unusual in your tastes and desires, but those that are most uncommon, you usually keep to yourself. You don't feel the need to put yourself on display in any lurid or vulgar way.

You are likely to maintain very close ties with family members; no matter where life may take you, you will always be sure to keep those you love informed about what you are doing, where you are heading and when you might be coming back home -- for home truly is where the heart is, as far as you are concerned.

Also born on this date are: Jennifer Lawrence, actress; Ben Affleck, actor and filmmaker; Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor; Julia Child, celebrity chef; Debra Messing, actress; Mike Connors, actor; Ethel Barrymore, actress.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A shock to the system need not have lasting effects. If you've positioned yourself correctly, you can recover in little time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's time for you to get from others what you feel you truly deserve. They're more than willing to oblige, but you must be willing to ask!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seeking a way out of a tricky situation may actually keep you from discovering the root cause -- and a permanent solution to the problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your eyes on the prize. You have taken some knocks, but you should be in a good position to maximize you rewards.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The favor you think you are doing for someone else is actually designed to help yourself -- so it's time to tell yourself the truth!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not appreciate everyone's opinions, but one or two will surely prove valuable as you struggle to make a key decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You and your team may have to meet in an undisclosed place in order to get work done under the radar.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can teach those who have less experience than you, and you don't have to do it in a way that is belittling or threatening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're playing a game with someone that could actually prove quite dangerous to you if it goes wrong. What do you really have to gain?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to take many breaks as you struggle to balance getting things done with thinking about how best to do them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Not everyone is likely to understand your sense of humor, but almost everyone will appreciate your ability and willingness to be upbeat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep careful and accurate records of everything that happens -- today and, perhaps, in the days to come. You may need the evidence later.
