Happy birthday for Thursday, Aug 8, 2019: This year, you might choose to be stubborn, but to no avail. Express your strong personality in a caring, open manner. Others will be more responsive. If single, you will enjoy this. Take your time getting to know a new sweetie. If attached, the two of you head in a new direction only after you weigh the pros and cons. Sagittarius encourages this path.

(Feb 19 - Mar 20)
