Your Birthday | August 22nd, 2016

Born today, you are something very special indeed, but at the same time, you would be the last to suggest that you should be granted any special treatment. You keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the prize, and you never consider yourself more entitled or better than anyone else. You let your deeds speak for you, and rarely recount your accomplishments to anyone -- even though they are often considerable and quite memorable. You love to learn, and you love to travel -- and the two go hand in hand, of course! You soak up other places and cultures as a sponge soaks up water, and you retain what you learn forever. Indeed, you are not the kind to forget anything that you suspect may be important in any way.

When it comes to love, you are open to almost anything -- except cheating! Once you have pledged yourself and your heart to another, you will remain true to that pledge come what may. You know that you will encounter difficulty at times, but you also know how to steel yourself against anything that comes your way -- so you are perfectly equipped to keep your promises in love.

Also born on this date are: Kristen Wiig, actress and writer; Tori Amos, singer; Giada De Laurentiis, celebrity chef; Valerie Harper, actress; Cindy Williams, actress; Claude Debussy, composer; Ray Bradbury, author; John Lee Hooker, guitarist; Dorothy Parker, author; Deng Xiaoping, Chinese leader; Carl Yastrzemski, baseball player; Bill Parcells, football coach; Honor Blackman, actress.

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.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Give yourself a chance to catch up to someone who is far ahead of you. You can do it -- and when you do, the rivalry may really heat up!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must ask yourself what you really want from the experiences you are having these days. Right now, a little more specificity could be useful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be granting someone a great deal by merely saying yes to what seems like a simple request. There's more going on, surely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are able to translate feeling into word and deed with great facility -- and a loved one is sure to appreciate every bit of the effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What someone tries to do behind your back can only make you stronger when you discover it. Don't be tempted to retaliate, however!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have psyched yourself out of the desire for something that could be very good for you. Why not reconsider -- before it's too late?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A question of personal taste may come between you and a friend or loved one for a time -- but you mustn't let it get out of hand!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself yearning for something or someone you know will not be yours for quite some time. This can give you strength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you say and how you say it can have a big impact on those who hear you. There is something going on that is not at all routine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Do you know where you should be by day's end? Your journey will take you through some territory that is unfamiliar and some that isn't.

Your Birthday | August 21st, 2016

Born today, you are always on the move, and you will always have something to show for it. You have a way of gathering winnings at every stage of the game, no matter what that game may be. This is a matter of both personality and will: On one hand, you are the kind of person who simply makes things happen on a daily basis; on the other, you insist on walking away from every endeavor with some kind of measurable gain -- a prize, if you will -- that you can take with you and value forever. You believe in markers, signposts and other indicators of worth and accomplishment, though you also know that there is much that is, in the truest sense, invaluable and impossible to categorize or label. Still, you do enjoy collecting trophies of all kinds!

You always have tomorrow squarely in your sights, but this doesn't prevent you from living in the moment as well -- a trait you recognize as being necessary to the kind of success you so value. And what of the past? You are usually willing to leave it behind and rarely have any regrets.

Also born on this date are: Wilt Chamberlain, basketball player; Kenny Rogers, singer; Kim Cattrall, actress; Count Basie, musician; Aubrey Beardsley, artist; Melvin Van Peebles, actor; Clarence Williams III, actor; Hayden Panettiere, actress.

MONDAY, AUGUST 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to take time out from your busy schedule to address the concerns of someone who doesn't think you're on the right track.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can minimize dangers while maximizing opportunity. Don't let yourself wander into unknown territory without taking precautions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to discover something about yourself -- or rediscover it -- courtesy of a friend who wants to up the ante a little bit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A loved one may suspect that you are in need of something that you cannot provide for yourself -- and he or she is ready to help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're at a good starting point. Get your engine revved up, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't post a record time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Are you able to arrange things to accommodate a loved one's needs? That should be your No. 1 priority right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to dig deep into your bag of tricks to come up with the one that can get you out of an unexpectedly tricky situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're ready to do more for yourself than you have in the recent past. A friend or loved one is there for you; you can rely on him or her!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can count on a certain someone to have your back, as he or she always has. You can accomplish more than expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll enjoy an unexpected opportunity. Where it gets you, in the end, depends on your ability to predict the future!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time for you to share with a friend some news that you've been holding back for too long. He or she will surely be supportive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can boost both style and substance, as a mentor provides you with a few tools you haven't had access to before. Steer clear of conflict.

Your Birthday | August 20th, 2016

Born today, you have a habit of coming from nowhere and taking charge, doing things that only you know how to do and getting results that are far more exciting and impressive than anyone might have expected. It's your ability to blend in as necessary that gives you a tremendous advantage, as you are often able to use the element of surprise to tip the scales in your direction and win the day. Indeed, you may well become known as someone who can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat as a matter of course -- but to you, doing so will never be routine! You love a challenge, and you will never abandon your efforts until you have reached your goals -- or until personal danger, or danger to others, simply makes it impossible to proceed. You are not careless or foolhardy.

Your ideals and beliefs are deeply rooted and unshakable; you aren't the kind to be dissuaded from what you ardently hold true -- by anyone, for any reason. Though some may call this "stubbornness," to you it is merely constancy and confidence.

Also born on this date are: Amy Adams, actress; Robert Plant, singer; Al Roker, television personality; Isaac Hayes, singer-songwriter; Ron Paul, politician; Benjamin Harrison, U.S. president; Don King, boxing promoter; Connie Chung, television journalist; H.P. Lovecraft, author; Ray Wise, actor; Jacqueline Susann, author; Peter Horton, actor; Misha Collins, actor; Andrew Garfield, actor; James Marsters, actor; Joan Allen, actress; Greg Bear, author.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may come to an important realization that increases your motivation and has you making an unusual new plan.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be asked to assess something that, in your view, cannot be quantified. It's time to devise some new methods of measurement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone may have you ignoring your instincts for a time, but later in the day you'll realize that you were right all along.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your desire for something or someone is overriding your need for what is much more practical. You must decide which is more urgent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Things may seem unusually random to you at first, but when you take a closer look, you'll see that there is a method to the madness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Focus on where you are going and how you are getting there, and don't let anyone distract you from what you know is most important.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be facing a formidable adversary, and though you know him or her very well, there may be something to surprise you, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Get as much information as you can so that you can paint a picture of what lies ahead in your mind. Visualization is essential!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You need details if you're going to make an important decision before nightfall. Those who are in the know may be uncooperative.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be facing something complicated, but you can apply a great deal of brainpower and intuition to the problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be separated from someone you love, but not for long. Avoid any sort of panic, and know that this is a necessary sacrifice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't stand in your own way. Avoid doing anything that could possibly get you mired in a situation you cannot control.
