People born on August 27 have much to give the world and may often be found helping others or doing charity work. They have a huge humanitarian spirit and from an early age may have felt that they need to heal the world in some way. The key to their happiness will depend on whether or not they can allow the world to give back to them as well.
They are generous, special spirits and they are at their happiest and best when making others happy, or improving others’ lives in some way by performing a valuable service. Self-sacrificing, they drive themselves incredibly hard and expect others to offer the same level of devotion and commitment to their ideals as they have. Their generous urge means that they are universally admired and respected, but their success can be limited by their tendency to be easily disillusioned, seeing the world as an unhappy, negative place. Developing optimism and positive thinking will help them balance giving and receiving, and turn their life from a struggle into an adventure.
Until the age of twenty-five there is an emphasis on being mentally focused and discriminating, and they can help themselves considerably during these years if they think and worry a little less about the common good and get involved more in making a difference. In fact, the positive energy that practical involvement gives them will help them find their way in life. After the age of twenty-five there is a turning point when there is an increased need for partnership or relationships with others, with the possibility of exploring literary, artistic or creative outlets in some form.
Whatever age they are, however, they are always likely to be universal in their approach to life and, if they are able to find an outlet for their humanitarianism and spirituality, they might not only find deeper fulfillment—they might also find that their generosity and kindness are repaid many times over.
