Those born on August 7 have an irresistible attraction to secretiveness and undercover events of all types. Generally they are somewhat covert in their own behavior but may also display a marked interest in mystery or spy stories, puzzles and the like. Those more academically or scientifically oriented may wish to master foreign languages, delve into history or decode nature’s secrets. Those born on this day are never happier than when uncovering some tidbit of information previously unknown and perhaps revealing it to a close friend or colleague. In a way they are like detectives, ferreting out the truth and putting it to interesting, sometimes lucrative, uses. August 7 people must beware of arousing antagonism or making enemies by uncovering truths, particularly those persons wounded or compromised by their disclosures. Sometimes those born on this day are well-meaning but fail to foresee the consequences of their actions; they must also take pains to thoroughly research their findings and thus conclusively establish the validity of statements while avoiding hearsay. Many August 7 people have a desire to reveal their hidden selves, the intimacies of their own private life, yet are afraid to do so and remain reclusive. Sometimes they have only one very special friend or family member to whom they can confide with confidence, but even someone as close as a wife or husband may live for a lifetime with an August 7 person and still not be aware of a secret world which they inhabit. Perhaps this is because those born on this day are often expert at playing two or more roles. They can appear to be the most conventional, upstanding citizen on the surface and indeed function as a model spouse or parent, while at the same time lead a hidden life that no one knows about. Some August 7 people find a kind of balance in such a life and succeed in it for long periods of time before they are discovered, perhaps posthumously. August 7 people are very adept at using humor and making light of potentially dangerous situations, often to direct suspicion away from themselves. Unfortunately, out of force of habit, they may hide trivialities as well, or stretch the truth when not truly necessary. For some born on this day, it may even become difficult to give a straight answer or relate facts succinctly. Embellishments may also creep into their storytelling along with an accompanying desire to please. This latter trait may come to dominate the lives of those desperate to fit in to the workplace or society at large and above all to be appreciated for what they do.

Numbers

Those born on the 7th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune. Because Neptune is the watery planet ruling visions, dreams and psychic phenomena, August 7 people may be vulnerable to instability. When combined with the Sun’s effects (the Sun rules Leo), these Neptunian influences may make for erratic behavior, unrealistic plans or expectations, even association with unsavory characters. Those ruled by the number 7 typically enjoy change and travel; this meets well with the August 7 penchant for excitement.

Archetype

The 7th card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a triumphant figure moving through the world, manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. The card may be interpreted to mean that no matter how narrow or precarious the correct path, one must continue on. The good side of this card posits success, talent and efficiency; the bad side suggests a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.

Health

The most prominent health dangers for August 7 people lie in the psychological realm. Some born on this day lose touch with reality too readily and thus exhibit extremely unstable behavior. Others strive to bring their lives into balance but in doing so subject themselves to enormous stress. The fact is that most people born on this day could benefit from therapy or counseling. Effective treatment will not only allow them to examine their own behavior under objective guidance, but also afford them an opportunity to reveal themselves under conditions of strict confidentiality. Because the physical health of most August 7 people is heavily dependent on their mental state, attending to the health of their psyche should take priority over concerns for their physical appearance. A regular well-balanced diet and moderate exercise are recommended.

Advice

Put your talents for investigation to use in a constructive way. Your fantasy may be applied to more than just private satisfaction. Try to be fair and honest with those close to you, and still more important, remain true to yourself.
