Born today, you have what it takes to be one of the most luminous and memorable individuals born under your sign. All it takes is for you to recognize your remarkable gifts at the proper point in your young life so that you can take full advantage of the opportunities that come your way. So of course, the question you have is, "How do I do that?" But the answer is not one that anyone else can provide! The stars will certainly exert their unbending influence, but what is most important is that you navigate your own instincts and impulses in such a way that you chart a course paved with developmental opportunities. You want to make the best of what you've been given, which takes thought, time, commitment and a little luck.
You have a bright and positive outlook and a tremendous sense of humor, but that humor may sometimes be misunderstood by those who do not realize that it comes from a place of great seriousness. You take yourself, the world, and your place in it very seriously, indeed. It's this attitude that gives you the determination to succeed.
Also born on this date are: Lucille Ball, actress and producer; Andy Warhol, artist; Geri Halliwell, singer; Robert Mitchum, actor; Vera Farmiga, actress; Alexander Fleming, scientist; M. Night Shyamalan, filmmaker; Catherine Hicks, actress; Alfred Lord Tennyson, poet.
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.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're coming to certain conclusions that are not entirely accurate. As a result, you're viewing things more suspiciously than is warranted.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you see and hear around you will affect you in surprising ways -- even though you thought you were immune.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to work with someone you don't necessarily like, but affection has nothing to do with cooperation and doing good work.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your own attitudes may be getting in your way. Be willing to bend a little and to see things from another's point of view.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting for someone else to make the first move, when he or she is actually waiting for you! Communication is an issue, obviously.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not like what you've been asked to do, but you know that it is necessary -- and that you're the best person for the job.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be letting your pride get in your way. Relax, and don't worry so much about how others are seeing you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in a bind before the day is out, so you'll want to know how to get in touch with the one person who can help you out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Keep yourself running on an even keel throughout the day; don't let yourself be buffeted by wind and rain -- literally or figuratively.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something you said in jest may have been taken quite seriously by someone who is now trying to make a mess of things for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know just what to say to a friend or loved one who has been backed into a corner. Very soon, he or she will turn your words to action.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The impossible becomes possible -- at least if you keep an open mind and try to see things from an alternate perspective.
