The Secret Language of Birthdays
7 August 1942 - Leo - Day of the Double Agent
Those born on Aug 7 have an irresistible attraction to secretiveness and undercover events of all types... In a way they are like detectives, ferreting out the truth and putting it to interesting, sometimes, lucrative, uses... They must beware of arousing antagonism and making enemies by uncovering truths...
Many August 7 people have a desire to reveal their hidden selves, the intimacies of their private life, but are afraid to do so and remain reclusive... They can appear to be the most conventional, upstanding citizen...while at the same time lead a hidden life that no one knows about...
They are very adept at using humour and making light of potentially dangerous situations, often to direct suspicion away from themselves...Embellishments may also creep into their storytelling along with an accompanying desire to please...
Those born [in this week] are solid and tough and do not back down from challenges; in fact they often thrive on them, and are often at their best when dealing with problems and difficulties... They exude power and self-confidence when their prodigious energies meld, but these same energies can threaten to tear them apart...
For the most part, these are extraordinarily faithful people. They see themselves as champions of the downtrodden and protectors of the weak. They despise exclusion and condescension and, for this reason, generally side with the common person rather than the privileged.
