The focused approach and determination mani- fested by those born on this day instills in others a sense of awe, for once they have resolved upon their chosen course of action they will pursue it until their goal has been achieved with almost superhuman tenac- ity, compelled by their resolute sense of purpose. August 5 people rarely simply accept conventional truths, pre- ferring instead to independently investigate a subject thoroughly before evaluating the data they have col- lected and then making an informed decision as to how best to proceed. When engaged in assessment exercises they utilize their talent for clear-sighted analysis and their remarkable powers of perception, while the nature of their decision-making is characterized by their reli- ance on logical thought processes. Once satisfied with the soundness of their convictions, they promote their progressive aims and opinions by means of direct and energetic action. Inevitably, their fixity of purpose often arouses the antagonism of others, but these people are energized rather than discouraged by opposition and confrontation, which spurs them on still farther.
August 5 people have the potential to achieve suc- cess in any sphere that holds their interest, but their need to act autonomously suits them especially well for such artistic careers as movie-making or musician- ship, as well as to become scientific or social innovators. Their impressive self-discipline masks strong emotions which, if they are crossed in any way, may break free and explode in dramatic displays of temper. And, although their feelings of affection, generosity and protectiveness for those closest to them are similarly profound, the combination of their controlling and volatile tendencies may have an unsettling effect on those around them.
