Born today, you combine an artist's creativity with the drive and stubbornness of an entrepreneur, and together, these traits should define not only your personality, but also the kind of professional life you will enjoy. You are certainly destined for success, and though it may take you an unusually long time to determine just where to direct your talents, once you do, you will work tirelessly to reach your goals.
While it is likely you will enjoy a long and fruitful career, it's even more likely that you will marry once when you are young and enjoy a lifetime partnership with your spouse -- if, indeed, you choose to marry. You may choose to go through life unattached, but that certainly doesn't mean you will not enjoy your share of love and romance.
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.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your own motives will almost certainly clash with someone else's today, even though what you are after and can achieve are nearly identical.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can do more than one thing very well today, but doing a third may be adding too much to your schedule -- although you'll be tempted to try.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your potential is on the rise today, and many of your habitual supporters know it full well -- even though you may require some persuading.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to leave something behind today in order to pursue something else of equal or slightly greater value. Is it really worth it?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to combine available facts with your own imaginings today in order to come up with a plan that you and others can all get behind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are facing some things that have the potential of changing your life in subtle but significant ways. Your attitude proves a driving force.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can steer others down the correct path this week, but once you get past a certain crossroads, you want to part company and go your own way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may become frustrated by the way others characterize certain developments today. You know that things aren't quite that good -- or bad!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must be willing to accept the facts today -- and the evidence that is uncovered that proves you've been in error for a while.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're not about to let someone else take control today, but forcing your agenda isn't the way to make headway. You can be subtle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Certain circumstances can be changed today, but not all at once. You'll want to start at the most logical place of departure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your talents will be on display today whether or not you intend it. Someone working behind the scenes is promoting your efforts.
