Your Birthday for August 11, 2015

Your Birthday | August 11th, 2015

Born today, you are likely to enjoy tremendous health, both physically and mentally, throughout your lifetime -- and you'll recognize this as a gift you must cherish and protect at all times. You have a special way of combining the mental and the physical in almost all activities; indeed, it is impossible to determine if you are a thinker who knows how to put thoughts into action, or a doer who knows how to commit yourself to intelligent endeavors! The truth is that there is really no telling; you are always thinking about what is going on in the world -- especially when you are directly affected -- and you are always springing into action to accomplish this or that. You combine thought and action with remarkable success.

You understand and appreciate that not everyone will agree with you at all times. In fact, you are often eager to mix it up with those who don't! You enjoy a good debate, and you are perfectly willing to learn a thing or two when faced with someone who knows more or has more experience than you do.

Also born on this date are: Chris Hemsworth, actor; Hulk Hogan, wrestler and actor; Alex Haley, author; Pablo Sandoval, baseball player; Steve Wozniak, computer mogul; Joe Rogan, television host and actor; Mike Douglas, producer and talk-show host; Jerry Falwell, evangelist.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good day to think about an opposing point of view. The more you are able to understand where someone else is coming from, the better.

Your Birthday for August 10, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | August 10th, 2015

Born today, you have been blessed with a great deal of passion -- both the kind that is evident to all those who encounter you, and the kind that burns deep within and serves as your emotional, psychological and spiritual fuel. It is important, of course, for you to control that aspect of your nature as best you can; should you allow your passions to get the better of you, it is likely you will risk much that you've been working for -- all of which, of course, is quite important to you. You must strive for balance in your life, and when you achieve it, you will recognize that you are able to be powerful without being aggressive, sensitive without being weak, and thoughtful without being incapable of action.

You are a trusting individual, yet you are not unrealistic in your awareness of what others are capable of doing -- so you protect yourself at all times from insults, injuries and affronts. You aren't one to hold a grudge -- but neither are you one to be stung more than once!

Also born on this date are: Antonio Banderas, actor; Suzanne Collins, author; Angie Harmon, actress; Herbert Hoover, U.S. president; Eddie Fisher, singer; Jack Haley, actor; Rosanna Arquette, actress; Norma Shearer, actress; Sam Warner, producer; Rhonda Fleming, actress.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In the matter you've been mulling over more than any other recently, you're likely to realize that someone else isn't playing by the rules.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may fall to you to restore things to the way they were before someone else stepped in and tried to "fix" them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your schedule may be lighter than expected, and you'll have a little time to devote to that certain guilty pleasure!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to make a fan of someone who has been watching you rather critically from afar. A key decision makes all the difference.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll recognize that the time has come to jump at an opportunity that may soon pass you by forever. You don't want that to happen!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You seem to have a way with those who are usually difficult to work with. Someone is eager to follow in your footsteps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be able to do things precisely as you had planned, but with minor adjustments you can surely get things done -- and done well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be suffering from one or two minor physical discomforts. Danger is minimal, but they're likely to slow you down a bit.

Your Birthday for August 09, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | August 9th, 2015

Born today, you are no stranger to hardship or distress, but you have so much going for you that you are always able to look beyond the trying times to a future that is bright and promising. You know what you are about, what you are capable of and what you want to do with your life. This can be both advantageous and exasperating, for it will give you a leg up on the competition when you are young, but it will result in tremendous frustration at times when you do not see your dreams come true. Still, you're not one to give up; you will keep striving, like so many Leo natives, until it is simply impossible to strive any longer.

You are stalwart in mind, body and character, and if you don't trip yourself up by pursuing the easy path, you will remain strong throughout your lifetime. You can take comfort in the fact that you often have things much more in hand than you think you do!

Also born on this date are: Whitney Houston, singer; Anna Kendrick, actress; Sam Elliott, actor; Deion Sanders, football player; Gillian Anderson, actress; Michael Kors, designer; Eric Bana, actor; Melanie Griffith, actress; Robert Shaw, actor and writer; Rod Laver, tennis player.

MONDAY, AUGUST 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll have the chance to pick up where another left off -- and demonstrate in the process that you are an expert in your field.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must focus on what lies ahead, not get caught up in regrets about past errors. One or two doors will open for you very soon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're not about to reveal the information you have worked so hard to collect. When the time comes, you'll use it to good advantage.
