Born today, you can be one of the most deceptively aggressive individuals born under your sign. This means, of course, that you will work tirelessly to see that things go your way while letting others think that they are contributing far more than they really are. Some might say you are merely passive-aggressive, and indeed there is some truth in the suggestion, but you can also be direct when you have to be, insisting that your rules are the only rules. A true Leo native, you have been endowed with such tremendous confidence that you may come to the conclusion that even your mistakes are actually things done correctly in an unusual way!
You are fiercely loyal to those who show loyalty to you, and you are the kind of friend who can be counted on to come through even when you have been out of touch for quite a while. "Once a friend, always a friend," as far as you are concerned -- as long as the feeling is reciprocated, of course!
Also born on this date are: Sir Alfred Hitchcock, filmmaker; Fidel Castro, Cuban leader; Annie Oakley, sharpshooter and entertainer; Bert Lahr, actor; Danny Bonaduce, actor; Dan Fogelberg, singer; George Shearing, pianist; Debi Mazar, actress; Don Ho, singer; John Slattery, actor.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 14
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be in the shadows for a time, confident that you will perform admirably when the light shines on you. And so you shall!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not really after what others seem to think you most need. You can position yourself for success with skill.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which is cumbersome is best left by the wayside; you may have to move quickly and remain flexible and aloof throughout much of the day.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may consider a certain activity hard work, but to you it is the kind of pleasure upon which one can truly thrive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may want to explore new ways of doing things that you already know how to do. The issue, of course, is self-improvement.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have the capacity to understand the most difficult concepts that are introduced today -- and you can explain them to others, as well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Put one foot in front of the other, and you'll find yourself making progress without having to think too much about it!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have to continue along your current path even though certain unanticipated dangers are likely to emerge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your willingness to put yourself in a new situation and attempt that which is yet untried will give you a distinct advantage.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The view from where you are may not accord with your expectations. See if a few minor adjustments don't give you what you're after.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A different perspective can be quite valuable to you. You'll discover something about yourself and another that surprises you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to work long and hard to pick the lock of another's innermost feelings. Ultimately, access will surely be granted.
