Born on August 22

Leo

Half the projects your friends are proud of started with your encouragement and a plan you helped them draw up.

Their idea of a quiet summer is a street party for the whole road, planned on one sheet of paper, with a job for every neighbour and a stage built from pallets for anyone brave enough to sing.

Thinking big and then building it comes naturally to someone born on the 22nd, who organises people as easily as plans. They play to win, too: the tug of war that closes the day is usually their idea, and their side makes the most noise.

Ask what they’re dreaming up next and settle in; there’s always a bigger plan on the way, and it nearly always has room for everyone they know.

A gift idea for someone born on August 22

Take them on a day out to see something enormous and well built, a ship, a dam or a great cathedral, with a picnic for the view.
