August 17 VS Leo, 8, Independent trailblazer
Determined to live life on your own terms, you are ‘one of a kind’ and likely to be so strong-willed that you will have an equal number of devoted fans and unimpressed detractors. The truth is, you won’t much care whether you offend people because if they don’t agree with you, then, in your world, they simply don’t exist. You are made for public life or a work environment where being in charge or questioning the status quo– teacher, campaigning activist, team leader – is seen as a plus. You are unlikely to back down about what you hold dear and so you may find your personal relationships can be volatile, which can be draining for all parties. Protective and generous to those whom you love, you may struggle to feel quite so loving when family members try and go their own way. Try and see that this is no different than when you chose an equally independent path. Make time to listen to and consider their reasoning in a respectful way, especially if it is your children shaking off the shackles, or you will just come across as a bully and someone others may choose to avoid.
