Those born on this day are strong-willed characters whose autonomy of thought and action is of the utmost importance to them. While they may seek to influence others, they claim the right of independence for themselves. Their need for freedom is as much the product of their constant quest for knowledge as of their incisive intellects, which lead them to gather as much information as possible before deciding upon a goal. But while their sense of justice may lead them to champion the disadvantaged as a whole—thus equip- ping them as campaigners or politicians—they may disregard the right of others to profess conflicting opin- ions, instead employing confrontational techniques in their quest to implement what they regard as being unquestionably the correct way forward. This propen- sity may occasionally lead them to behave somewhat perversely, rebelling against authority figures simply because of their strong antipathy for being restrained, as well as of their more general dislike of complacency and the unthinking acceptance of the status quo. They are probably most suited for artistic, educational or sport- ing careers, in which their inclinations and talents can best be used to inspire others.
So averse are August 4 people to submitting to the control of others that—even from childhood—they may reject entirely well-meaning attempts to assist them, fearing that more sinister, dominating motives lurk behind the helping hand, a propensity that can lead them to become rather isolated figures. When they channel their energies positively, they typically enliven their personal relationships greatly; those closest to them should be careful, however, never to restrain, or to appear to challenge, these people’s independence.
