August 8th Horoscope

This entire planetary row speaks of one's connection to planet Earth and speaks of the importance of the material world in lives of individuals born on August 8th. They will be filled with energy that needs to be employed and if their instincts and physical needs aren’t met at the youngest age, they could feel frustrated or become aggressive as time goes by. The energy in their lives needs to circle and balance is to be found between things they give and things they receive. With solid boundaries and carefully planning, they can achieve anything they strive for.

The Sun and Venus make the second row of this date, pointing out the importance of inspiration and creativity in the material world. Their goal is the manifestation of love and a firm personality that will allow them to stand on their true identity without diminishing their personal value or self-respect. The potential to make something magnificent is grand here, but it comes with great responsibility.

Love and Emotions

Feelings are an important destination point of those born on the 8th of August, for they are to guide them before they put their head through the wall. Their relationships will usually be intense and passionate but need to support them on a deeply emotional plane so progress in all other areas of life can be made. We will often find them in solitude or bonds that don’t truly touch their heart as they grow older, if they don’t give in to deep self-reflection and find ways to balance out their intense energies.

Initiative won’t be their issue, except when they get tied in images of cocreation with the wrong partner. As they get closer to their center of personality and allow their entire world to reshape and change, they will find someone equal and stop taking over the roles of an aggressor or a victim. They need time and usually to spend some time alone to understand their true needs and sort their priorities out, before they rush to initiate a close and a healthy relationship with the one they love.

Purpose

More than other Leos, they feel the need to remain the part of a known system and will encounter people who resemble them in strange ways, in their incredible authenticity that might be considered eccentric or hard to accept. They are to set free of the predestined and limitations in their attitude, in order to build their own individualism in unusual ways.
