Born leader
Leadership, ambition, and a dramatic personality are indicated by your birthday. As a Leo, you are creative, with strong intuitive powers and a forceful demeanor. Although your adventurous nature seeks self-expression, a strong pragmatic view and concern for security suggest a materialistic overtone. This indicates that while idealism and vision play important roles in your life, worries about money or the lack of it keep your feet firmly on the ground. Nevertheless, you are a kind-hearted individual with strong emotions, humanitarian inclinations, and leadership abilities.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Leo, you are proud and dignified and can influence others through your natural executive abilities. Observant and perceptive, you have a good sense of values and are often resourceful. Quick to learn, you soon turn your interests and creative endeavors into successful commercial enterprises. By marketing your talents, you can impress others with your determination and organizational skills.
Generous, chivalrous, and assured, yet demanding and tense, is how others may describe you. This indicates that, due to emotional insecurity, you sometimes hide your true feelings. Loyal, diligent, and dependable, you take pride in your work. Although you can use your forceful speech to your advantage, a sharp tongue and an inclination to be overly dominant may undermine your great efforts.
When you are around the age of twenty-one, your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, commencing a thirty-year period of increased emphasis on order, efficiency, work, and health. You are also likely to gain an enhanced mental awareness of practical problem solving. Another turning point for you occurs around the age of fifty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Libra, stimulating you to cooperate more with others, be diplomatic, and place more emphasis on creativity and partnerships.

North Asellus bestows vitality and vigor, creative talent, love of the arts, and unexpected gains. Although both North and South Asellus impart a caring nature and therefore indicate re- sponsiblity, North Asellus is known as the beneficial star and endows powers of attainment plus a charitable and generous outlook. This star also suggests that intolerance and aggressive mannerisms do not achieve the desired results.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, this star imparts a flair for dealing with the public, good social connections, and friends in influential positions. High preferment is indicated in education, especially philosophy and religion, or success in business and large corporations.
Generous with your time and energy, you may have to watch out for a tendency to alternate between feelings of frustration and extravagant outbursts. This may lead to worry or indecision about material situations when it is not necessary. Possessing the ability to be detached and view your situation objectively, you are more than capable of handling any situation.
Courageous, independent, and inventive, with quick responses, you can make an excellent fighter for freedom, whether for yourself or others. With your fine mind, you can be direct and outspoken; your adventurous streak may spur you to seek out unusual and exciting experiences. A strong individualist, you have a wealth of creative ideas that can encourage you to become inspired and move into action.
Determined and strong-willed, you are liable to have an original approach to your career unless you settle for security below your outstanding potential. With your natural executive and leadership abilities, you should be in a managerial position or be given the freedom to work with some degree of independence. Possessing a fine mind and a flair for the technical or analytical, you can excel in anything from science to writing and performing. Being very creative may inspire you to delve into the art or music world, where your shrewd ability to assess situations can help you commercialize your talents. Your ability to push through some kind of reform may attract you to work in organizations with a social conscience.
Famous people who share your birthday include musician Jerry Garcia, fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent, actor Dom DeLuise, and author Herman Melville.

Those born on this day are self-sufficient types who present something of a paradox—even to their nearest and dearest. For on the one hand they can be empathetic toward the disadvantaged (responding to their natural sense of justice), yet on the other they will reserve their own right to privacy and autonomy. Their approach to life is underlined with two main personal qualities: their imaginative powers, which enable them to identify with others and be stimulated by their com- pany; and their propensity to think logically. Ultimately it is the realm of abstract concepts—particularly artistic theories and expression—that most strongly interests them, and their frequent withdrawal into solitude is often necessitated by their predilection for intellectual exploration. Such is the value that they place on inde- pendence of thought and action that they are gener- ally unsuited to working as cogs in the corporate wheel (unless they are themselves driving the mechanism). They are inherently better equipped for self-employ- ment or for working in those professional areas where their research can be transformed into products—for example as scientists or writers.
Although August 1 people are not amenable to oth- ers’ regulations (and even less so if they were born in the Chinese year of the dragon), they are disciplined when it comes to their own affairs—both personal and private—a tendency that results more from their desire to keep their lives running smoothly and efficiently than from any wish to exert control over others. Thus, despite the deep affection and magnanimous tolerance they display toward those closest to them, they will often conduct their relationships within strict bound- aries, the limits of which they set for themselves.
