Born today, you are one of those Leo natives that combines aggressive ambition with charm and sensitivity, and you are likely to enjoy a rare and perhaps fleeting kind of success in either your personal life or your professional affairs as a result. This doesn't mean that your hard-won success will be fleeting, but only that it may be if you neglect to temper the above traits in such a way that they can be creatively combined and directed toward your work as a package, and not as individual features battling for dominance in your life.
It's unlikely you will ever dedicate yourself to solitary activities, as you are energized and motivated by collaboration and teamwork. You may well find that work and romance go very well together.
Also born on this date are: John Stamos, actor; Bill Clinton, U.S. president; Matthew Perry, actor; Coco Chanel, designer; Orville Wright, pioneer aviator; Kyra Sedgwick, actress; Jonathan Frakes, actor; Kevin Dillon, 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.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're ready to give someone's efforts a boost, but take care you're not simply doing a favor for a friend. This is an investment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have let your destination become unclear of late, but if you follow a certain friend or family member, you'll get back on track.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone you know only a little may come upon something you've been searching for -- but putting a claim on it may prove difficult.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A secondary activity takes over the No. 1 spot from another that doesn't resonate the same way right now. Others offer support.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The only person standing in your way today is you, but how you got into this uncomfortable position may only become clear tomorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are eager to please those in charge today, but some of what you are asked to do is likely to chafe. How you say "no" makes a difference.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You aren't all that used to paying attention to those who are on the outskirts of your range of experience, but today they may matter most.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to butter up someone today before you receive permission to do what you know is unorthodox or unpopular -- or both.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The way things were done in the past has value to you today, but you must realize those methods need to be updated some.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Surface issues will take care of themselves today; it's those in the depths that you'll want to identify and study closely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Excitement today is derived from the kind of collaboration that only you can bring about between those who have been on the outs.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to see someone succeed today, just as you are eager to see someone fail. You're better off focusing on the positive.
