Born in August: how it marks your life
neutral Your birth month and root number are neutral to each other. How the events below turn out depends largely on your own effort and your own decisions. This month's central theme is work, money and the weight of duty.
- Childhood & family
- Financial strain or the pressure of responsibility in childhood, which makes you realistic at a very young age.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes slowly, usually through a major promotion or acquisition of property after long effort.
- Love & marriage
- A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
- Places & travel
- Your life becomes tied to land, a house, or immovable property.
The main areas of life
Career
Business and marketing, journalism, writing, accounts, technology, broking, import-export and travel.
Money
Money arrives fast and leaves fast. You have the ability to earn through several channels at once, but speculation and the promise of quick profit are dangerous for you.
Love & marriage
What you want in a relationship is freedom and some fun. Put a chain on you and you move away; give you room to breathe and you come back on your own. A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
Health
Nerves, skin and digestion. Irregular meals and too much worry show up in your body before anywhere else.
