August 27 likes to be surrounded by a great many people and is at his happiest planning their entertainment, cooking for them and just generally sitting chewing the fat. In youth they live in groups - a new family of adopted siblings. In adulthood they want lots of children. Find this character living with assorted relatives, friends and their children, who August 27 relates to as his own. This baby is the grape in the universe's fruit bowl, firm, sweet and comes in clusters.
It is natural for both sexes to work in areas which directly benefit the community. They are drawn to social work and hospitals, where they bring an aura of comfort and gentleness. People who are sad find a ready ear but never someone who is content just to listen and sympathise. Virgoans like solutions and this character is no exception. He won't take inertia lightly, and anybody who thinks there is a permanent shoulder to sob on will receive a swift rapette on the knuckles.
Both the men and women are master cooks. It's their gift to others, but also their passion. Find them watching television and reading a recipe book, dreaming of quick, exquisite dishes. They think that the way food looks is as important as the way it tastes.
When the women have children they encourage them to join in the cooking. There will be lots of chocolate cake mix to lick with fingers from bowls, small plates of toffee made by tiny hands and delicious dark red strawberries dipped in the kind of dark and shiny chocolate sauce that looks as if it was directly scooped from the midnight sky.
There are usually so many people to take on holiday that August 27 can only really afford to take off for the seaside around Britain. Find them all barefoot on those endless yellow Norfolk beaches building castles to die for in the sand.
You are innately warmhearted and sentimental, and the emotional part of you places a high priority on a close, loving relationship. Your cerebral side craves companionship of a more thoughtful, intellectual variety. When you find the love you seek, you will sacrifice everything for your partner. If you’re alone in life, you may retreat into the rich fantasy world of your imagination where love always reigns. A genuine romantic, you are as likely to fall in love with a dream as with a real person. When reality doesn’t live up to expectations, you’re deeply disappointed yet ready to move on to another “ideal” lover.
Making your partner feel cherished and cared about is your special talent.
You have no qualms about catering to your lover’s whims, either in bed or elsewhere. For you, physical love is a tender expression of deeper feelings—
an emotional mingling of body, mind, and soul. Sensitive, sensual, and concerned, you’re an exceptionally easy person to love. You concentrate on the needs and desires of your beloved and hope for the same kind of consideration in return.

Your empathy with the feelings of those around you can make you nervous about your own. Despite a tendency to be self-critical, your touchy emotional nature makes it difficult for you to deal with the disapproval of others. Intelligent, insightful, and multitalented, you can accomplish anything you like, so long as you refuse to let inner doubts stand in the way.
