Those born on this day combine their curiosity with their urge to help others—whether individuals, or humanity as a whole. Innately predisposed toward investigating all data objectively before drawing their conclusions, these people are not content with accept- ing those conventional beliefs and societal norms that go unquestioned by less independently minded types, until they have satisfied themselves as to their veracity. This deep-rooted tendency to explore and test, on the one hand, may make August 7 people uncomfortable to work or live with, but on the other may yield startlingly innovative results, for once they have decided upon a course of action or a set of convictions they will pro- mote it with all of the considerable personal resources available to them, including their intellectual and phys- ical vigor, their highly developed practical skills and their obstinate tenacity. And although the frequently unconventional nature of their opinions may inevitably arouse antagonism in others, they possess the courage to press forward despite the personal consequences.
Yet although these individuals respond to chal- lenge—and are stimulated by intellectual debate—their ultimate intention is not to act as devil’s advocate simply for the sake of disrupting the status quo, but rather to embark on a personal journey of discovery. Their incli- nations and talents suit them especially to careers in which they can express themselves freely, unrestricted by others. Because they are usually extrovert characters, they are often at the center of attention. Their sense of social responsibility is reflected in the protectiveness and deep affection that they offer their loved ones, while their unconventionality provides an invigorating element to their relationships.
