Your Birthday for August 23, 2019

Your Birthday | August 23rd, 2019

Born today, you are not one of those to announce your every move or give a running report of what you are doing and why -- especially if it is something important that you are working on. The more important something is, the more likely you are to keep mum about it; you believe that talking about it can distract you from doing it and deplete your reserves of energy, inspiration and ideas. You wait until all is completed before unveiling your work -- and the reaction is usually overwhelmingly positive.

Your energy is high, your dedication is complete and you're not one to give up on something just because it gets difficult. You thrive on difficulty -- to a point. You are no fool, certainly, and when there is no chance or likelihood of success you will certainly abandon your efforts and move on to something else!

Also born on this date are: Kobe Bryant, basketball player; River Phoenix, actor; Gene Kelly, actor, dancer, choreographer and director; Scott Caan, actor; Barbara Eden, actress; Rick Springfield, singer and actor; Keith Moon, drummer.

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 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to find that you are only weakening your position today by trying to explain yourself. Let what you do stand on its own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not understand how your thoughts and feelings work together today, but you must assume that they do. There's a mystery to solve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You likely have little or no time to spend looking for an "easy" way out of a certain situation. The hard way may be the only way -- period.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not likely to forget what happens today for a very long time -- and it's the little things that have the most profound impact on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't stop until you cross the finish line today. There are those who would slow your progress if they could, but they are not a factor -- yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to look carefully at all that is going on beneath the surface today. You'll know what you must do by day's end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Information comes to you in fits and starts today. You'll have the chance to give someone else his or her due -- and take credit for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've decided there's no difference between you and someone you admire -- so there's no reason you can't equal his or her creative output.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're giving someone else a little more of a head start today than anyone else. Is this fair? Perhaps that question is not one to ask.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll understand what's going on around you only after you study trends that have led you to where you are. Then it all makes sense!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The usual and familiar may make you quite uncomfortable today for some reason, whereas you feel right at home with the new and untried.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Go fishing today and you'll reel in the information you need. Don't wait until you receive warnings that it will soon be "too late."

Your Birthday | August 22nd, 2019

Born today, you are never one to suffer fools gladly, nor will you allow yourself to be pushed in any direction against your will! You insist on doing things on your own, of your own accord, without any kind of prompting, guidance or assistance -- but is it realistic to expect to make progress without accepting help from anybody? Of course not, and that is why you must learn to listen to those with greater learning and experience than yourself -- until that day comes when you can announce to the world that you know it all.

You have many facets and many moods -- but you try to maintain a positive, jovial outlook when you are among those who do not know you well. With your few close friends you are nowhere near as guarded!

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; Dorothy Parker, author; Carl Yastrzemski, baseball player; Bill Parcells, football coach; Honor Blackman, actress.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be in a situation that requires you to stick your neck out today if you're going to solve a nasty problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to take aim at something that you've been studying for some time. Pull the trigger! Others appreciate you getting things going.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself in an uncomfortable position today, but an honest appraisal tells you that this is more your fault than anyone else's.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Now is no time to complain; rather, you'll want to harness your energy and gather your forces to do something about what's bothering you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you're not feeling quite up to par, you should check certain health markers -- and ask if you've really been taking care of yourself. Be honest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have thought of the "perfect" comebacks to someone's comments, but they're not likely to be said. You can fight back in other ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be accused of not listening after speaking your mind, but the fact is that you are saying precisely what others should be saying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Look beneath the surface today to discover what's wrong. You've been trying to make quick fixes, but this requires more of an effort.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You benefit from one or two important realizations today -- but can you put what you learn to good use right away? Use your imagination.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can't take things personally today, or you're likely to react inappropriately to remarks made off the cuff. Give your critics a break.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take a look back at your past and you'll know just what to tell someone else in order to help them out of a difficult situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be concerned about your own reputation today, but thoughts of self-preservation can keep you from doing the right thing.

Your Birthday | August 21st, 2019

Born today, you are not likely ever to be overlooked at any point in your life. As a child, you are likely to have attracted attention either for breaking the rules or for following them -- but in either case you will have no doubt demonstrated remarkable talents of some kind. As you mature, you will no doubt have discovered the one or two things that really turn you on and that you identify as "life pursuits" -- and yet there may have been distractions keeping you from early success.

Though even you must recognize that you are not "the best" at everything you choose to try, that to which you dedicate yourself is surely something that you can excel at -- and your record of accomplishment is one that is not likely to be equaled for a very long time.

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.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be direct and up-front about what you want or need today -- that's the only way you're going to get it. You mustn't beat around the bush!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll do things in your usual way today, attracting attention because you cannot avoid "showing off" in some way. You have style, surely!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may wish you were somewhere else today, but the fact is that you are where you are and you must deal with certain issues head-on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to count your money and make sure all of your available resources are at your disposal today. Some hard work lies ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have cause to remember an exciting adventure from your past -- but you mustn't make the mistake of thinking that you can relive it now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can expect a surprise to knock you off your plate today -- but then, if you expect it, you can probably minimize its overall effect!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not agree with the way a friend or partner is addressing a certain situation, but you can't come up with anything better. Lend a hand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in the mood to share something with a special someone. Toward midday a chance encounter gives you the "perfect" idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're entering a period in which you will be certain about much, but some of what you encounter will still throw you off balance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're happy with the status quo overall, but there's one thing you want to address before you give it your stamp of approval.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take a close look at what someone else is doing, and you'll realize that you are on the right track yourself -- despite any recent doubts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may hear from someone who has a few secrets to tell -- but perhaps you don't want to be part of something that is going on "under the table."
