Born on August 24

Virgo

You fix the shelf, stock the cupboard and remember the allergy, so the people you love don’t have to ask.

If you’re moving house or starting a new job, they’ll be there with a toolbox, a packed lunch and the form you forgot to fill in. They’re devoted to their people, and they show it in things you can hold.

They see a great deal and judge none of it, which is why friends hand them spare keys and surprise-party plans without a second thought. The best treat for them is a day when someone else carries the toolbox.
