Those born on this day are stimulated by the com- pany of others, and because they are blessed with charm and an infectious optimism and vitality, others are effortlessly drawn to them. Yet they are rarely as uncomplicated and straightforward as their easy-going approach might suggest, for at the core of their person- alities lies a strong-willed, opinionated kernel that fuels them with the urge to have their own way—sometimes regardless of the potential cost to others or, indeed, to themselves. The visions that motivate their actions are frequently grandiose ones, the product of their innate capacity to note the shortcomings of existing circum- stances and then, assisted by their practical ability, to formulate resourceful and direct strategies for improve- ment. Such is their all-encompassing curiosity (and courage) that they are especially attracted to careers in the public service, although their inclinations and tal- ents may lead them to become leaders and managers, inspiring others with their originality.
Many August 22 people are thus impelled to blaze a trail and direct the thoughts and actions of those who follow them. They manifest their leadership qualities in every sphere of their lives, both professional and per- sonal. Because these pragmatic individuals understand the efficacy of persuading rather than forcing others to comply with their convictions, they generally employ their charismatic powers to enlist support. If obstructed, however, their natural combativeness comes to the fore and they will not hesitate to seek to impose their wishes by forceful methods. If they are not to become isolated, especially in terms of their private liaisons, it is vital that August 22 people take on board the opinions of others, and become willing to compromise if necessary.
