Celebrating Your Birthday in August? Symbolically, much in life can be conceived of as one graqnd cycle, an dhuman life, nature and astrology can be studied and compared within such a circular framework. For humans, the circle may represent a lifetime, from birth to death; for nature, the inexorable succession of the seasons throughout the year; in astrology, the zodiac, depicting the signs and their positions. This column is based on personology, a theory that positis that there are 48 distinct periods in the year, each associated with specific personality characteristics. The 48 period, made up of 12 cusps and 36 “weeks,” are each six to nine days in length. Personology depicts the characteristics or basic energies associated with these periods. In this system, the position of a person’s birthday in the grand cycle of the year is emphasized to a certain degree, resulting in more specific and nuanced conclusions about character. The zodiac sign or personology period symbolizes how we express our will in the world; it can be thought of as our character, creativity and impetus in life. Week of the Authority (July 26 to August 2) Among the most powerfully authoritative of the year, Leo I’s are intense, hard-driving individuals. They are dedicated primarily to their own personal activities – developing their own strengths and abilities, growth, and progress. Asserting themselves and being taken seriously are what appeals to them. They believe in higher authorities, the abstract truths and principles embodied in the practice of their principal endeavor. Many of these Leoos can be highly competitive and geared toward coming out on top. Others don’t really care that much for worldly success, being more interested in bettering their own personal best. Their capacity to dominate is often greater than their capacity to lead. Being involved with these individuals is rarely an easy task. Their standards for themselves are extremely high, and they too often expect the same from others. They may interact most easily with people who have been drawn to them as admirers, students, or disciples. Though these Leos can make loyal and faithful friends, most of them still would do well to work on their treatment of their fellow human beings, particularly in terms of kindness, patience, and understanding. Anyone involved with these tough customers must themselves be prepared to show these traits in abundance. Trying to get the undivided attention of these Leos can be frustrating since they are often intensely preoccupied. Those who can seduce them away from their work or interests will play important roles in their lives and will benefit from the best that these Leos have to offer. Born this week are: Katherine S.

Solid and tough, these Leos do not back down from challenges; in fact they thrive on them and are often at their best when facing problems or difficulties. Leo II’s generally exercise tremendous powers of concentration. Gifted with endurance and tenacity, they hang in there for the duration. This has a downside, however, since it is very difficult for them to change. Moreover, their single-mindedness may cause them to lose their peripheral vision and forget their best assets – that is, their intuitive strength, capacity for hunches, and timing. They certainly can be their own worst enemies and exhibit a streak of masochism – a tendency, for example, to suffer while trying to hold a romance, marriage, or business together. Learning not to push themselves too hard and to live a balanced life are crucial to their overall well-being. For the most part these Leos are extraordinarily faithful people. Being straightforward and unpretentious themselves, they often dislike people who put on airs. They see themselves as champions of the downtrodden and protectors of the weak. In their toughness, these Leos are able to withstand many disappointments. They usually weather the storm and win out through knowing how to wait – “having the long breath.” Those involved with these Leos know that these Leos must not be pushed or prodded when in a negative frame of mind; rather, they must be left alone to work things out for themselves.

Week of the Leadership (August 11 to 18) Leo III’s often assume a commanding role. Action comes naturally to these dynamic individuals. Their main impulse is to lead, but not necessarily to dominate or rule. Good planners, they are able to organize a strategy and see it through. All these Leos have a heroic view of themselves. Aggressive, they know what they want and how to get it. In the process, they may arouse antagonism since they can be inconsiderate, often choosing to ignore what others are feeling in order to achieve their own aims. But they may also inspire tremendous loyalty, respect, and love in others who overlook their self-centeredness. Their creativity runs high. While they are often narrow or selfish in their personal dealings, in their careers their imagination, philosophical perspective, and wide range of expression often result in artistic, financial, and social rewards. Because these Leos are not very approachable, working shoulder to shoulder with them is the best way of getting close to them and can result in deep ties that last a lifetime. Other strong personalities inevitably clash with Leo’s III, and such relationships are likely to be stormy unless the other party compromises or backs down. These Leos are not unaware of their charisma. As long as they are honored and respected, they will be generous and kind, but they will not hesitate to end a relationship if they feel they haven’t been accorded their due. Equally often, their partners, unwilling to live with double standards, may drop them suddenly in disgust, amazing the more unaware Leo III’s – just when things were going so well.

Cusp of Exposure (August 19 to 25) Those born on the Leo-Virgo cusp are an interesting blend of introvert and extrovert. Leo-Virgo combine the practical, earthy qualities of Virgo with the more intuitive, fiery traits of Leo, producing quietly inspired individuals who keep their light within. They tend to conceal the truth about themselves and not show their real inner selves until they get where they are headed, socially or professionally. But though they may hide certain personal qualities or facts about themselves for years, their inner flamboyance will break out periodically. The more they try to hide, the more the world seems to take notice of them. Leo-Virgos use information, whether concealing or revealing it, as a tool. Usually it is information they themselves have gathered. Those born on this cusp are often outstanding observers and judges of character. Further, they are often good at recording their impressions in thought or word. Others often come to depend on their memory, judgment, and objectivity. Leo-Virgos do not easily show their passion and affection, but when they do they are dependable and reliable friends. People who like mysteries and detective work will like Leo-Virgos – although they do not deeply need appreciation, kudos, or flattery, they cry out for understanding. Trust is a big issue – they must be able to trust their friends and lovers to keep their secrets and be faithful. Those who continue to love them even after they fully reveal themselves become lifelong friends and partners. Born this week are: Rep. Manuel N.
