High-minded idealist

Although the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Aries, adds vitality and drive to your personality, it also implies that you can act hastily or become bored easily. You may need to avoid being impulsive and initiating projects without planning in advance. The great potential indicated by your birthday also implies that you need to positively channel your energies to overcome your tendency to be dissatisfied.
You usually need constant mental stimulation and can entertain others with your quick wit and lively repartee. With your persuasive speech and sense of the dramatic, you can usually get your way by enchanting others. You do not suffer fools easily, however, and at times you can be too outspoken, selfish, or arrogant. Although you are multitalented and enjoy being active, you can gain from developing one particular skill and are likely to find great advantages through education and learning.

Regulus is a royal star that takes a leading role among a nearly infinite cast of stars. Regulus imparts nobility, high honors, great charisma, and the power to project dignified personality. This star bestows a natural ability to make quick decisions and cope with demanding situations. It also imparts a desire for power and an ability to lead and command others. You have strong willpower and a love of enterprise, which often lead to a desire for freedom and independence. Regulus warns that these great benefits are not necessarily longlasting.
Although your emotional sensitivity can make you very intuitive, it can also sometimes pull you in different directions. One part of you wants new and exciting things, and the other wants security and stability. If not constructively channeled, this can make you restless, unsettled, or prone to escapist tendencies. By continually having a positive plan for something new and uplifting, you avoid becoming cynical or rebellious. Pursuing your ideals and desire for truth stimulates you to be generous, compassionate, and humanitarian.
Frank and honest, you expect the same from others, but although you can be loving and caring, you may have to guard against a tendency to sarcasm. Travel and higher education can be excellent avenues for you to discover the more adventurous side of your nature. Since you are endowed with charm and spontaneity, you may also like to explore the hidden artistic or creative talents that are associated with your birthday.
As you assimilate knowledge very quickly on any subject that holds your interest, you may need variety to keep you continually challenged. Your lively intellect may draw you to a career in education, writings or publishing. Ideally, you should be in an occupation that utilizes your excellent people skills, and if this involves foreign countries or change, then so much the better. Alternatively, your desire for self-expression can lead you to the art, music, or entertainment world, and sport can also be a positive outlet for your need for action.

The public personae that August 21 people adopt are sometimes at odds with the personal core that they shield from the attention of others. For such is the originality of the visions that inspire them that many have learned through experience that others may be disturbed by their expression. Although those born on this day would clearly prefer not to have to compromise themselves, they are pragmatic and realistic enough to accept that such a course is necessary if they are to suc- ceed in attaining their ambitions—and what innovative ambitions they are. Driven by the compulsion to effect tangible progress, these imaginative individuals utilize their prodigiously perceptive and rigorously logical intellectual skills in both identifying potential areas for improvement and then working with steadfast determi- nation to implement their aims. Whatever profession they choose, they will generally be spurred by the desire to bring about positive global changes—be this in the artistic sphere with which most have a strong affinity, for example, or in the realms of science or government. Their inward-looking preoccupation with their interests and aims means that August 21 individuals will typically flourish best when acting as independent operators unconstrained by the less daring imaginations of others, presenting their conclusions only when they are ready. Often somewhat solitary figures within their professional spheres, those born on this day place enor- mous value on the belief, love and loyalty demonstrated by those closest to them, and reciprocate such senti- ments with profound dedication. They should beware of suppressing their deepest emotions in the interests of success, and should instead try to find effective ways of expressing the aspirations that inspire them.
