Charming and determined, with natural leadership ability, you have a birthday that suggests that you are a practical and shrewd visionary. With your capacity for discipline and hard work, once you have a definite goal you persevere until the end. You are capable of expressing a wide range of emotions. You can be compassionate and sensitive but also powerful and dominating.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Virgo, communication is particularly emphasized in your life. With your strong mental powers and sense of definition, you have a quick grasp of situations and can detect mistakes and understand complex issues. Having high standards and wanting method and order also imply that at times you may get carried away and become too critical.
When channeled constructively, your strong emotions can ensure your popularity, especially when you turn on your special charisma. You may have to avoid becoming impatient with others when they are too slow, and feeling a general dissatisfaction with your own lot.
Being intuitive as well as practical and mentally astute, you seek inspiration and work well in service to others. Idealistic and generous, you possess a strong sense of duty but can also be witty and entertaining. Many men of this birthday have developed the feminine side of their nature.
Until you reach the age of twenty-five, your progressed Sun is in Virgo, emphasizing the importance of being mentally focused and discriminating.

This continues until the age of fifty-six, when your progressed Sun enters Scorpio. This is a turning point for you, one that will highlight a growing need for emotional and spiritual regeneration as well as accenting joint finances.

Although you are willing to make sacrifices for others, it is necessary to do so from the goodness of your heart, with no hidden agendas. Your generosity and kindness are often repaid many times over.

Rational and intellectual, as well as inventive and curious,those born on August 27 boast the capacity for genius. They are very practical and grounded—an earthy quality—and have the discipline to work hard to unusually high standards, often making them dazzling successes in their fields. They especially excel in careers in which their intellectual capacities, as well as their analytical and methodical gifts, can be utilized fully; they are particularly successful in the fields of science and medicine, financial planning and accountancy, or investigative journalism. Although keen lovers of the arts, they are nevertheless drawn to those practical and intellectual pursuits that satisfy their realistic and rational natures, qualities that make them refreshingly straightforward as friends and colleagues.
The powerful combination of incisive wit and flu- ent powers of communication possessed by August 27 people, as well as the analytical Virgoan approach, means that, as well as fascinating their audiences, they have the power to wound (even devastate) more sen- sitive people’s feelings. They should therefore remem- ber to choose their words with tact—this particu- larly applies to those born in the Chinese year of the rooster, who have a frequently irresistible tendency to speak their minds. Studious and diligent, people born on this day often find satisfaction by burying them- selves in their work, but their shyness and modesty may mask a lack of self-confidence. Parents and part- ners should bolster August 27 people’s self-esteem to allow their talents to flourish. In adult life, generous and appreciative partners, especially Leos, may simi- larly provide a stable relationship within which their gifts can thrive.
