If the gift is real then it can help with a greater perception of the world - which is good. If it's not really there, then you're no different from anybody else, which is OK too.

There are deep psychic forces at work here, which often manifest themselves in childhood as maybe a particular fascination with the past or an understanding that there are certain houses and places which have a good feeling - and others which do not. Children born on this day into a deeply conventional family may have difficulty with this gift because family members won't - and won't be inclined to - recognise it.
Perhaps for many August 20 people this won't matter terribly, because their psychic capacity remains largely undeveloped, with just a few shadowy hunches which seem compelling to this creature, but in general don't matter very much. But a side-effect of this fine tuned ultra-awareness is that they can act as an empathetic magnet to other people with problems and August 20 may find himself overloaded with confidences but in some way duty bound to help. The people he or she is helping are often very damaged and act as an undermining energy drain on this individual.
By the time they have reached their late teens or adulthood, many people with a strong extra perception have discovered it and since children and teenagers are independent creatures, a lot have experimented, and read up the subject. Out-of-body experiences, for instance, are not uncommon in teenagers. Many keep it secret, partly because it's a valued private experience, and partly because, can you imagine explaining it? Sadly, quite a few people find that they ‘grow out' of this capacity. At a certain age it gets harder and then it's gone.
Sensible August 20 people seek out experts, well-known with checkable credentials and affiliated to a professional body. This enables them to examine their talent within a controlled environment. It's very important that these people don't get into the hands of occult groups or irresponsible people who are attracted to psychological manipulation.
Your Leo Sun sign rules love and romance, and when you care about someone it is without reservations. In an intimate union, you’re a model mate; you rarely forget birthdays, anniversaries, or other special dates. You are more than willing to cater to and pamper your partner, and you like being petted and admired in return. Because you dislike disagreements, you’re usually the first to make up after an argument. However, you refuse to put up with disloyalty, and you are not shy about calling your significant other to task if he or she fails to live up to your expectations.
You are strongly sexed and highly attuned to your own physical needs and those of your bed partner. For you, lovemaking is a carnival of the senses, and you want to enjoy each and every ride. You employ your flair for theatrical presentation to create a lavish setting for your sensory pleasures. The sanctuary of your bedroom becomes an intimate stage for erotic enjoyment.
Making love in lavish comfort, on luscious fabrics, gratifies your taste for glamour and opulence.
Since people born on this date are open to new ideas, why not take a look at the newly fashionable fitness tea made with the Kombucha mushroom. Known as Manchurian Tea or Kombucha Elixir, the mushroom is brewed in black tea and sugar for a week, and then drunk in small quantities - small and reputedly faintly disgusting. Kombucha admirers swear it increases energy, brightens eyes, eliminates wrinkles, helps reduce weight, lowers cholesterol and helps relieve allergic rashes. Reported to have been discovered in Kargasok, in remotest Russia where villagers drank the tea, lived to a hundred and kept their hair. Gateway Books publishes the literature.
A well-orchestrated seduction can be totally intoxicating. Your lover may entice you with teasing sexual play, using sensual oils to stimulate your desires. Sultry verbal suggestions turn you on by engaging your imagination.
Exchanging spicy stories and sharing exotic fantasies act as tantalizing forms of foreplay before a night of steamy sex.
If the gift is real then it can help with a greater perception of the world - which is good. If it's not really there, then you're no different from anybody else, which is OK too.
You surround yourself with drama and excitement, and your splashy personality makes you seem larger than life. Proud, stubborn, and extremely confident, you want everything done your way. You have a tendency to plow through obstacles without stopping to consider all the possible ramifications. As a result, you often come off as opinionated or overbearing in your dealings with others.
