Born on August 16

Leo

Bold, thoughtful and guided by your own compass: you take a lesson from everything and lead the way with a grin.

Read them your draft, any draft, and they’ll find what you meant to say and help you say it better. If someone at the table is getting a hard time, they’ll speak up for them before the sentence is out, kindly and firmly, and then move the conversation somewhere better.

Learning from everything belongs to the 16th, and so does trusting their own compass. Add a love of performing and their toasts become the part of the party people repeat. Ask them for one, then give one back, written down so they can keep it.
