Your Birthday | August 18th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most tenacious, even stubborn, individuals born under your sign. You are wholly unwilling to give up on something once you have started it. No matter how difficult the road ahead may appear, you are willing to face what comes your way if it means you will reach your destination and enjoy the fruits of your labors, which you will know you've fully earned. You have been endowed with some remarkable talents, but you don't take naturally to everything. You are, therefore, almost certain to dedicate yourself to a course of lifelong learning that will enrich your mind and spirit and make you the very best that you can be. Nothing but excellence interests you -- in yourself and in others. You do not want to waste your time on trivial pursuits or people who engage in them. You feel you are destined for important things!

You are realistic about the challenges you will face in life, but you are not a nihilist by any means! You truly do believe your efforts serve a purpose, and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Love is something you must choose to make room for in your busy life -- but when you do, it can be quite fulfilling.

Also born on this date are: Patrick Swayze, actor; Edward Norton, actor; Robert Redford, actor and director; Roberto Clemente, baseball player; Christian Slater, actor; Malcolm-Jamal Warner, actor; Roman Polanski, filmmaker; Meriwether Lewis, explorer; Shelley Winters, actress; Denis Leary, actor and comedian; Madeleine Stowe, actress; Martin Mull, actor; Rosalynn Carter, U.S. first lady.

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.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be reconsidering a decision you made only yesterday. What you've heard through the grapevine may be misleading, however!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to work hard to maintain the status quo, at least for now. You may hold suspect the motives of one who wants to make changes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Give someone a taste of what you've had in the past. He or she will want more, and you can build a partnership from what happens next.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something you did some time ago and forgot all about may be worth revisiting -- and examining quite closely. You may uncover an answer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself getting involved in something that is a bit too much for you at first, but you should be able to learn quickly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others are operating under the assumption that you will always enjoy the same old things. In fact, your tastes are changing rapidly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can talk about what ails you, but very soon you'll want to do something about it, lest it become permanent. No one wants that!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Progress may be slower than expected, but you can still get very far -- and farther, probably, than your closest rival.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Daylight hours must be spent solving a tricky problem; you don't want that to carry over into nighttime. A loved one longs for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to answer questions as openly and honestly as you possibly can. Any attempt to mislead will only come back to haunt you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Future endeavors are shaped by what happens today, in large part. Don't underestimate the value of the little things that happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Any previous experience will serve you well as you venture into unknown territory. A friend will accompany you and boost confidence.

Your Birthday for August 17, 2017

Your Birthday | August 17th, 2017

Born today, you are a quietly powerful individual with strong opinions about all sorts of issues, but you don't always feel compelled to share them unless you sense that to do or say nothing would let the bad guys win the day. You maintain an old-fashioned view of the world, in which even the most complicated issues are laid out in black and white, and you feel that anyone who acknowledges shades of gray is trying to have it both ways -- to eat the proverbial cake and have it, too. You have tremendous respect for those who have gone before, and you embrace your heritage while respecting the backgrounds of others. You feel strongly that there is a right way and a wrong way to do almost everything, and you aren't the kind to walk an ideological fence.

You are likely to be highly educated -- if not from books and classroom studies, then from experience. Indeed, you have been endowed with vast amounts of "street smarts" that see you through difficult situations you would otherwise be wholly unprepared for. You are proud of what you do and who you are.

Also born on this date are: Robert De Niro, actor; Dustin Pedroia, baseball player; Donnie Wahlberg, singer and actor; Sean Penn, actor; Davy Crockett, politician and soldier; Mae West, actress; Maureen O'Hara, actress; Eric Johnson, guitarist; Belinda Carlisle, singer; Jim Courier, tennis player; Dottie Pepper, golfer; Eric Schlosser, journalist and author; Robin Cousins, Olympic figure skater.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're eager to see things move more quickly in the direction you have decided is right for you. You can do much to make that happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A personal issue stands between you and someone you otherwise have much in common with. You can make room for both ways of thinking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be frustrated by the way others are going about their business and indirectly slowing you down. It may be time to sever ties.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may want a little more of what you had yesterday, but others are not likely to oblige unless you offer something valuable in return.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must protect yourself and avoid becoming involved in something that is likely to threaten your autonomy -- and your reputation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pay attention to what your body tells you. You must be sure to eat right and get the rest you need. Coming activity may be unforgiving.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be astonished to learn what someone has been up to -- especially since it's something that you wouldn't have dared yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Mind and body work closely together to propel you toward a cherished goal. You may be unaware of some important things that are happening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are trying to keep up with someone you've long admired, but he or she is working on a different plane. You must be more realistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Daylight activities are less important in the long run than what you get up to after dark. Personal issues take precedence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself examining last night's dreams far more closely than usual. What is it that has you thinking something big is coming?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be at odds with someone throughout the day over an issue that is merely a matter of taste. Still, passions flare -- so use caution!

Your Birthday | August 16th, 2017

Born today, you are able to go about your business even when energy and inspiration are at an ebb and you are facing circumstances that are unfavorable to you or your cause. The fact that you can weather all manner of hardships will certainly serve you well throughout your life, and though you never intentionally invite hardship into your life you never shy away from it, nor do you allow it to reduce your effectiveness on the job. You can be so single-minded when it comes to your work that you sometimes do damage to your personal relationships; other people may need more of you than you realize, and they aren't likely to put up with being ignored forever.

Your outlook is positive and your ambitions quite high. You expect to succeed, so in most situations you do. You know how to shape the world around you to suit your needs, though there may be times when others fight against you because you are threatening their autonomy as you assert your own.

Also born on this date are: Madonna, singer; Steve Carell, actor; Angela Bassett, actress; James Cameron, director; Kathie Lee Gifford, television personality; Julie Newmar, actress; Timothy Hutton, actor; Eydie Gorme, singer; Fess Parker, actor; Robert Culp, actor; Lesley Ann Warren, actress; Bob Balaban, actor and filmmaker; Christine Cavanaugh, voice actress; Laura Innes, actress; T.E. Lawrence, archaeologist and diplomat; Rumer Willis, actress.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What is coming your way will surprise you on one hand and satisfy your expectations on the other. You must make adjustments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're feeling the pressure of increased responsibilities, but you can surely get everything done in an efficient and timely manner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which is most important to you may be something others are willing to overlook. Perhaps you can all meet in the middle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Those who drift on the periphery are likely to be pulled more directly into the action. You'll be in charge of a new effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Those who are drawn into your orbit will provide you with much in the way of encouragement and moral support. An opportunity beckons.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can appreciate much today that you overlooked even yesterday. Changes in attitude and outlook are a positive development.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be feeling unusually spunky, and only you know the reason. This is something you should share with a special someone!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Despite an abundance of positive developments, you may be feeling guilty about something that was not entirely your fault.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A greeting you receive from an authority figure will have you wondering what might be next. Take steps to solidify your position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Errors you make will teach you much about what is possible, but you must work to undo what you've done as quickly as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can combine modern and antiquated thinking and methods to come up with something that is uniquely your own -- and quite admirable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Whatever goes wrong can surely be fixed, but only if you don't waste any time trying to point fingers and assign blame.
