Dubhe endows idealism, self-confidence, boldness, and pride. This star grants intelligence, articulate speech, and persuasive expression. Although you are probably adventurous, at times you may feel insecure, and let suspicious and mistrustful thoughts cause you worry.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, Dubhe bestows determination to succeed and to overcome obstacles. Love of learning and a desire to achieve may direct you toward higher studies, astrology, law, or the military. In turn, this may also reveal a flair for writing and philosophy. This star warns against becoming overly materialistic and suggests channeling your power positively lest it become destructive.
• Positive:higher learning, artistic talents, beautiful voice
• Negative:worry, insecurity, lack of imagination, inclination to materialism
When you substitute your creative spirit for material security, then you are achieving in the real sense of the word. At times, though, the fear of losing what you have already achieved may mean that you prefer to take the less interesting but safer option. This may deny you the opportunities to make dramatic changes, which involve taking some kind of risk.

You possess a strong inner desire for peace and harmony, which can be expressed through the arts or reflected in your love of home and family.

Your capacity to love can be particularly expanded through the arts, drama, or music.
Creativity, sharp intelligence, and a capacity for hard work indicate that you have the potential to rise to the top of your chosen profession. You possess dramatic gifts that you can utilize in the theater, writing, or politics. However, with your natural business sense, you also possess a talent for merchandising and production. You may fare best in your own business, but whatever career you choose, you will always be looking to improve the way you work. Alternatively, a philosophical or humanitarian leaning may be satisfied through occupations such as the clergy, charity work, or philanthropy.

A powerful entity and results-oriented force, all about initiating action and getting things done. Like those with a number 1 birthday, you usually strive to accomplish great endeavors. Nevertheless, you may have to overcome many obstacles before you achieve your goals. Energetic and original, you stand by your own beliefs even when they differ from others’. Your ability to be a self-starter with a pioneering spirit encourages you to travel far afield or strike out on your own. You may also learn that the world does not revolve around you, and should guard against selfishness and being dictatorial. Success and accomplishment are important to all individuals with number 10 birthdays, and frequently you find your way to the top of your profession. The subinfluence of the number 8 month indicates that you are a powerful character with strong convictions and an independent spirit. You are likely to be innovative, self- assured, and ambitious, though being multitalented suggests that you can try to accomplish too much, leading you to scatter your energies in too many directions.
• Positive:leadership, creative, progressive, forceful, optimistic, strong convictions, competitive, independent, gregarious
• Negative:overbearing, jealous, egotistical, too proud, antagonistic, lack of restraint, selfish, vacillating, impatient
You admire those who can accomplish much. You may be looking for such a high, idealistic love that it can sometimes be difficult for anyone to live up to your high hopes. As you may alternate between being loving, spontaneous, and affectionate and appearing cold or withdrawn, it is vital that you have space for yourself to balance your sensitivities. Your naturally friendly personality ensures that you have many friends, and being hospitable suggests that you are a good host or hostess.

Possessed of firm opinions and strongly oriented toward others, August 10 individuals seek to com- municate their ideas and beliefs to as wide an audience as possible by means of direct interpersonal action. It is their ability to think incisively and logically (espe- cially if they are men), as well as their highly developed intellectual perspicacity, that leads them to form clear- cut and powerful views, which are usually of a posi- tive and progressive nature and are intended to bring benefit to others—either in material or social terms, or in the less tangible emotional arena. And, once those born on this day have convinced themselves of the veracity of their beliefs, they typically seek to influence others accordingly. Indeed, these individuals are hard to ignore: possessed of remarkable self-assurance and a pronounced independent streak, they are unafraid of making a determined stand when promoting their visions—the main thing, as far as they are concerned, is that they should make their voices heard and thereby draw others’ attention to what they have to say.
The specific issues that may move August 10 people vary according to the individual, but their natural sense of justice and desire to improve the lives of others have clear parallels in the realm of political or social cam- paigning. Their considerable creativity, when combined with their great communication skills, also augurs well for careers as writers, artists or actors. Their inherent optimism and infectious enthusiasm furthermore gives them the capacity to inspire others, as well as making them valued friends and relations. They should remem- ber to make the time for periods of honest introspec- tion, to objectively examine their motives and work consciously toward greater tolerance and cooperation.
