Born today, you are never one to let the details slip by unnoticed. Indeed, as far as you are concerned anyone who overlooks the little things risks living life only halfway. You are extremely competent when it comes to crisis management, in part because little ever takes you by surprise and you pay such close attention to everything. That, of course, gives you a tremendous advantage when the going gets tough. There are those who may think that you are too concerned with the nitty-gritty and that you are unable to improvise -- but the truth is that you are able to do far more than most because of your familiarity with all pertinent details of any given situation.
You have tremendous creative talents, and you are never truly content unless you are working hard making something that never existed before. You want to be known as one who was able to turn nothing into something -- of course, that "nothing" is really all that percolates in your extremely fertile imagination!
Also born on this date are: Lucille Ball, actress and comic; Andy Warhol, artist; Geri Halliwell, singer; Robert Mitchum, actor; Vera Farmiga, actress; Alexander Fleming, scientist; M. Night Shyamalan, director and screenwriter; 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.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll enjoy a certain one-on-one interaction today, even though it is unexpected and may upset your routine. Be flexible!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be facing a certain situation in a way that takes both friends and enemies very much by surprise. You know full well what you are doing!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can benefit from adopting another's point of view today, if only for a very short time. You've been wearing blinders for too long!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A surge in creativity pushes you forward, but not so fast that you can't enjoy yourself in the process. A close friend is impressed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are going through a crazy time, what with one thing and another, but a friend provides some calm today in the midst of the storm.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to understand all the reasons why someone is taking certain actions; all you have to do is react when the time comes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your response to someone else's proposal today says a lot about your relationship. Some things may have to change as you move forward.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's time to get in touch with someone who can help you make a firm decision before too much happens that you cannot control.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can benefit from doing things in a different order today; a break with routine can recharge your batteries and inspire you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know just exactly what needs to be done today, but you may not be able to do it without stepping into someone else's shoes for a time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't have a lot of time to get things done today, so you'll want to double up where you can. You can multitask quite well!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those who gravitate toward you today do so because you have something they need -- but that dynamic works both ways, and you will benefit too.
