Born today, you can always be counted on to do things in ways that will attract both mighty criticism and high praise, and people either love you or hate you -- there are few who think of you in a "so-so" kind of way. This is not to suggest that you do not care what people think of you; on the contrary, it is very important to you for people to like you, approve of you and support you in your personal and professional efforts.
Your tenacity translates as competitiveness on the playing field; no matter what the game, and no matter whether you are a novice or an expert, you're going to play to win. This is true in your personal affairs, as well -- and you cannot abide being deceived in any way. Woe betide the person who thinks he or she can fool you in love!
Also born on this date are: Sir Alfred Hitchcock, filmmaker; Annie Oakley, Wild West entertainer; Bert Lahr, actor; Danny Bonaduce, actor; Dan Fogelberg, singer; George Shearing, pianist.
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 14
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Whether you are aware or unaware of what someone is going through, there are certain niceties you'll want to observe all day today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The difference between what you want and what someone can give you might as well be night and day. This is not a suitable arrangement.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be ahead of the game, but that doesn't mean you can let up. The competition is looking for any sign of a slowdown from you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Now is the time for you to show another what you're made of -- and doing so may be as simple as saying no when you want to say yes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An introduction is made today that changes things for the better -- but will this be a permanent development? That is entirely up to you!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The more quickly you can get your chores done today, the sooner you will be diving into something you've been waiting for.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You receive comfort in a way that is specially designed for you and you alone. No one else can truly understand what you get from it or why.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A bargain proves tempting today, but being responsible with your money is something you take very seriously right now. Is it really worth it?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be asking yourself many questions today, but some of the answers may be unavailable to you until you reach out to a dear friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You needn't spend all your time today doing the things you are "supposed" to do. You can take breaks -- and break the rules at least once!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're thinking that maybe it's time to explore a certain endeavor more fully or go elsewhere for what you seek. The decision is easily made.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A problem you solve today is likely to arise for someone else before you know it -- but you'll be in a position to help out, surely.
