Your Birthday | August 17th, 2020

Born today, you are a powerful and aggressive individual, but you do your best to keep any potential negative manifestations of these traits very much under wraps. You want to be seen as someone who is kind, approachable, cooperative, collaborative and always circumspect -- and so you are, when you choose to be. You have been endowed with tremendous talent, and once you are given that first "big break" when you are young, there will be no stopping you as you continue your rise to the top.

You are highly principled, and you live according to a set of rules that is not easily threatened by anyone else -- even one who perhaps knows better than you what's what. You are known for sticking to your guns and not backing down.

Also born on this date are: Robert De Niro, actor; Dustin Pedroia, baseball player; Donnie Wahlberg, actor; Sean Penn, actor; Davy Crockett, statesman and war hero; 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.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This may not be a good day for pushing a personal agenda, as the opposition you encounter may prove stronger than first supposed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Doing the right thing for someone in need may prove more complicated than you had thought -- but you're determined to do all you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can show off a bit today for an appreciative audience. Someone is likely to present you with an unusual opportunity. A decision takes time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You share more than you realize with someone you are likely to encounter on more than one occasion today. Examine this relationship closely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are likely to be asked for your opinion about a key issue today -- but this situation may be a setup. Use caution, and don't be too forthcoming.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your eagerness to get things going must not get out of hand today, lest you move too quickly and encounter dangers you cannot control.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you see is not always what you get -- and today you may be surprised by what seems to be right in front of you. Get a second opinion!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your well-laid plans are likely to be altered in some way before the day is out, and you want to be sure you're the one making the change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A decision made by someone in your inner circle seems to be routine enough -- but by day's end, you'll realize what is really at stake.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Focus on how you see things today and how they affect your emotional stability. Much that you encounter today is benign -- but some is not.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone you work with may be surprised by an admission you make under pressure. Soon after, you'll get busy working to undo any related damage.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have more at stake today than meets the eye. Get news from someone who is directly involved in the major events of the day.

Your Birthday for August 16, 2020

Your Birthday | August 16th, 2020

Born today, you are truly an original in thought and personal style. There is much that is mysterious about you -- both inwardly and outwardly -- and those who try to figure you out are only likely to satisfy themselves that there is, after all, much more about you than they will ever be able to learn. The one great paradox in your nature is that you are likely to rely on other people a great deal in order to do your life's work and fulfill what you believe is your destiny.

Though you are eager to enjoy a harmonious and contented home life, it is not something that will be easy for you either to acquire or hang on to -- for the primary reason that you are not always that easy to live with! This you freely recognize and acknowledge, and you accept that a traditional relationship may not be for you.

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.

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 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are doing important work, but you must not toot your own horn at this time. Keep moving forward; your solo efforts count for much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's good to update your tactics in order to be better in sync with a strategy that you've only recently finalized. Good work can be done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must be willing to forge ahead into unknown territory today if you want to recover something that was taken from you only a few days ago.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Now is no time to spend money you do not have, as you don't want to get further behind. You can get out of the hole you're in very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You begin the day concerned about certain stubborn issues, but you should be pleased as punch when everything comes out in your favor by day's end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- How things turn out today depends in large part upon you knowing when to step into the fray and when to steer clear. Make no assumptions!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can make a new plan today -- and use elements of a previous one to get everything "just right." It'll soon be time to get moving.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Travel is in the picture today, but not the kind you may expect. Indeed, the journey itself may well matter more than the destination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can do much to prevent a scandal at home or at work today. Keep things under wraps until you know just how to tell the story.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You don't have to reveal everything today, even when asked to do so. There are certain pieces of information no one wants to hear -- yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If someone is not willing to reciprocate and do for you what you've done for him -- or her -- then you know where you stand and what you must do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Not all conditions will be conducive to good work today. You'll surely want to steer clear of those who present nothing but negative energy.

Your Birthday for August 15, 2020

Your Birthday | August 15th, 2020

Born today, you are always someone to be reckoned with, and in your youth, you are likely to have shown the promise of later years characterized by daring achievement and a commitment to excellence that is perhaps unequaled by anyone else born under your sign. More than almost anyone else, too, you know who you are, and you are very comfortable in your own skin. You seem to know, instinctively, when something you do is "important," whether it will be effective and, perhaps more importantly, remembered.

You can live quite high on the hog or quite simply, indeed. What matters most to you is that you maintain your beliefs and are able to hold your loved ones close -- for all else of value derives from these. Your life is likely to be lived in phases that, if you are given a chance to look back, will appear distinct and unique. You thrive on emotional challenges.

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

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're ready to put up a fight if someone challenges you any further on an issue about which you feel very confident. This really matters!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- That which is expected gives you a sense of security today when it comes to be -- and you'll have what it takes to deal with the unexpected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Sometimes it's the simplest message that is most important and the simplest approach that yields the best results. Today is such a day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The help you need today may be slow in coming to you, but once it kicks in, you'll pick up the pace and beat a rival to the finish line.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Generosity is the key to success today -- and contentment. It's not just yours that makes a difference; others can be generous with you, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) -- You enjoy an opportunity that you thought you had missed. A family member offers an opinion that you'll want to think about very carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Preparation -- always the key to lasting success -- will also keep your competitors guessing today. What is it that you have up your sleeve?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can perform routine tasks today in a more imaginative and creative manner. The results of your labors prove beneficial in some new ways.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can avoid some difficulties with ease today, but others must be faced head-on. In such cases, experience serves you well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll benefit from a newly adopted point of view that sets you apart from those who used to be on your team. Solo work wins praise today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You see things today in a new way that allows you to be more flexible and avoid obstacles when the need arises. Nothing is set in stone!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A decision made yesterday begins to pay off today in a manner that is quite pleasing to you and your allies -- and an enemy backs off some.
