August 13 Zodiac Sign

August 13 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Your birthday reveals you to be independent and creative, with an ability to lead and command—an intelligent individual with a shrewd practicality. As a Leo, you are dignified, courageous, and a force to be reckoned with. Through your abilities to think rationally, you learn to recognize the power of knowledge that is usually at your disposal.

Assertive, with practical common sense, you usually add self-discipline to the list of your attributes. You can achieve success through developing your mental powers and establishing yourself in your chosen field. Able to present a unique approach to a problem, you can give others practical advice and solutions. Women born on this day tend to think in an authoritative way and take charge of situations.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Sagittarius, further emphasizes your commanding personality and a need for expansion. This can also imply that you can be stubborn and critical. Those who appear to know you well see you as a strange mixture of conservatism and dissidence, but never as boring or dull. Well informed, you enjoy arguments and debates, since you usually come out on top—though if you think you know it all, you can become domineering and may have to learn that being mentally aggressive or uncompromising does not always get you the results you desire.

When you are at the early age of nine, your progressed Sun moves into Virgo for a thirty- year period. This brings an increasing desire for practical order and security in your life. There is a turning point for you at the age of thirty-nine, when your progressed Sun enters Libra. From this time there is a greater emphasis on your personal relationships, and you may gradually become more amiable and collaborative. At the age of sixty-nine, when your progressed Sun enters Scorpio, you are likely to experience a deeper desire for emotional transformation.

Your Secret Self

 

A need to work and accomplish often ensures that you take on a great deal of responsibility and do not like to waste your time. Although you are sensitive and vulnerable, you may not show this to people for fear of being controlled. Outwardly you may also appear proud or cynical, but in your heart you are altruistic and a campaigner for justice.

Your persistence and determination to accomplish is admirable, but you may have to overcome a tendency to be manipulative. Yet you do know the value of sharing and working cooperatively in order to achieve the best results. You are a good organizer, and if you are overloaded with work, you know how to delegate responsibilities to others. Although you are usually collaborative, a little amicable bantering with those closest to you shows your desire to be on top while keeping your sense of fun.
