People born on August 31 are blessed with abundant energy and enthusiasm. There is often something attractive and fun about them that draws others to them effortlessly, and they typically climb the ladder of success to leadership positions with great ease.
They tend to make life appear very easy but there’s a price to pay for their popularity and success. Although extremely astute when it comes to understanding what makes others tick—and therefore able to influence the thoughts and moods of others—when it comes to their personal development they may be completely in the dark. Unaware of what their real needs are, they may rely heavily on the attention or approval of others for feelings of self-worth. Ultimately this is a dangerous strategy as it puts control of their happiness in the hands of others. It is only when they are able to lessen their need for public attention that they will grow psychologically and, although they are dynamic with few problems either socially or professionally, their “success” in life may have an empty feel about it.
After the age of twenty-two there is an increased emphasis on social relationships for the next thirty years of their lives. It is important for them not to lose themselves in work or other people during this period. Their happiness and fulfillment depend on their ability to look within for guidance and approval; if they are unable to do this they may end up feeling stressed, confused and frustrated. Fortunately, there is also an emphasis during this time on developing their creativity, and they need to take advantage of the opportunities life presents them to think and act more independently.
After the age of fifty-two there is a powerful turning point that signifies a need for emotional change, making them more self-reliant and in control. Whatever age they are, the sooner they learn to depend less on the approval of others and more on their intuition, the greater their chances of finding true happiness and lasting fulfillment.
☆ On the dark side：Needy, frustrated, stressed
☆ At your best：Energetic, dynamic, astute

However, at a certain point August 31 people will have to ask themselves whether they haven't built up a dependency on getting the attention of others. At this point, often at the mid-life crisis (around age forty-two: Uranus and Saturn oppositions), they may decide to become a bit more interested in their own personal development, turn inward and limit some of their social preoccupations.

Those born on the 31th dayof any month are ruled by the number 4 (3+1=4), and by the planet Uranus. Since only seven months have a 31 SI day, it is a bit of an unusual number for a birthday, and the people born on these days are often equally unusual and hard to fathom. Those ruled by the number 4 can be difficult or argumentative, since they so often see things differently from others. They also take rejection very hard. Quick and explosive Uranus impulses may be reflected in sudden change of mood. This quality is accentuated for August 31 people by the changeable traits of Virgo's ruler Mercury and its close association with L'ranus in matters of communication.
