This is a date of passionate initiatives and actions that are smart, intellectual, and pushed forwards until the goal is reached.

August 15th Horoscope

SUN – MERCURY – (Pluto) – MARS

The planetary row of those born on the 15th of August shows an instinctive and yet rational nature that has the power to move mountains when properly handled. This is a time of great thoughts that get materialized and implemented, and these individuals have the power to raise their awareness through the roughest of circumstances and reach incredible positions in life. It is important that they respect everyone equally, especially those that work for them and may seem to be set "lower" on their radar for humanity.

Saturn meddled in the second row of these individuals, putting ambition and focus on their plate as a tough unavoidable circumstance that cannot be overcome until responsibility is taken and solid boundaries created. This could show hidden difficult circumstances in life that one feels the need to avoid or run from, or simply feels shame to show them to the rest of the world. As their personality rises in confidence and purity of ideals and faith, they build a foundation for any achievement they wish to reach for.

Love and Emotions

Given the gift of reason, followed by passionate and instinctive actions that evoke their sexuality and put it high on their ladder of priorities, Leos born on the 15th of August sometimes get a bit detached from their truest emotional world. It is easy to skip a step or two and connect on a superficial level if they don’t find the core of their desire and inspiration with someone entirely different from what they perceive as "normal". Their relationships teach them how to talk with different people and how to embrace diversity of individualities that is supported by something as simple as love.

As they become aware of the support system they can build through loving relationships, they find their core of emotion with more ease too and approach more satisfying relationships that may fulfill their emotional needs properly. With their feelings intense and mixed with sexuality in ways that sometimes get out of control or become their source of shame, they are to set free in love and with an open heart that is ready to connect in pure intimacy.

Purpose

Communication and spontaneous self-expression become the main issue in lived of those born on August 15. They are born to this world to deliver a message that they aren’t always aware of while their inner struggle continues. The purpose found in Mercury stands as a vocation call, something that needs to be done in the field of profession and ways to express themselves in ways that allow them to connect with other human beings with quality and understanding. Balance of speaking and listening is a good exercise they can use to find middle ground in situations that seem unsolvable.


What They Excel In

Still, they might burn out if they don’t use their talents and the flow of life to build their strivings on.
