Those born on August 5 have the gift of enormous stamina. Add that to the tremendous talents bestowed on this individual and you have the recipe for a life of fulfilled ambition. But beware, both sexes have a violent temper, a tendency to flare up and shout, and with some men, to hit people. It's a good idea to curb it early, or the way to the top could become a rapid U-turn.
August 5 is a charismatic lover. The tendency to make an extravagant gesture is disarming. And if they haven't got the money, they will be extravagantly thoughtful. Rich creatures born today, can whisk you off in their private jet for lunch in Vienna, take in a Holbein at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an apfelstrudel at the café where Sigmund Freud, struggling through his daily Strudel, invented the Oedipus complex, then back in time to catch a surgeon kicking in the ER casualty department door.
Poor ones can tell a partner they are beautiful in six different languages. And give them a foot massage, which is certainly more stimulating than strudeling. According to the theory of reflexology, foot massage has beneficial effects on other parts of the body. A man takes each of his partner's feet in turn, massages them, then holding each foot behind the ankle with one hand, slowly rotates it with the other. This creates warmth and pleasure in the pit of a woman's stomach. When women do it, exactly the same effect is caused in men. Give or take some differences.
The psycheology of this individual is rooted in the home. They paint and decorate their homes in the golden colours of the sun, in some cases to such gorgeous effect they have been found guilty of gilding the loo. Nothing is ordinary. The cushions of the finest duck-down, the air perfumed and the armchairs are the kind that elongate into luxurious chaises-longues.
The individual born on this date cannot tolerate any kind of hypocrisy or deceit. When you love someone, you do so with your whole heart and soul.
Yet despite your deep-seated need for love and affection, you require a certain amount of breathing room. A caged lion is an unhappy lion. You make a generous, thoughtful, exciting lover as long as the relationship is not too confining. Moreover, companionship and friendship are as important to you in an intimate union as physical passion. In fact, you tend to lose interest in any relationship that lacks intellectual rapport.
Even though you take lovemaking seriously, there is a playful, mischievous side to your love nature that allows you to have a great deal of fun in bed.
Your curious mind and yen for discovery and experimentation make you want to try new things and venture into previously unexplored sexual territory. Although you are capable of the most intense flashes of passion, it’s your intellect that tends to dominate and dictate your actions, even in the bedroom.
Chronic fatigue may he a problem for these individuals, partly because they do too much, and partly because we live in a polluted environment full of pesticides, food additives and car exhaust fumes. Some people are genetically more vulnerable to a combination of these factors than others. Symptoms may include sleeplessness, clumsiness and muscle pains. Naturally, consult your doctor. Dr. Charles Shepherd, adviser to the ME Association and an expert on fatigue, suggests that three 500mg capsules of evening primrose oil each day can relieve some symptoms. Sufferers may improve with multi-vitamins, vitamin C and ginseng. Gingko biloba can also bring relief.
For you, desire comes as much from the mind as from the body. The spirited lover who can make you laugh also knows what to do to turn you on.
Playful teasing and fooling around loosens you up and inflames your passion. Role-playing games and acting out your erotic fantasies let you express your seductive sexuality with a theatrical flair.
Straighten out your attitude to others' money. Other people's - banks-get tired of the ‘Let's be happy and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with' philosophy.
Like Aries, Leo really wants to win. However, unlike the ram, the lion knows how to turn a defeat into a seeming victory. When you lose at something, your conduct and demeanor are generally so noble and magnanimous that you fool onlookers into thinking that you actually did win, or that at the very least, you should have won.
