August 7

**August 7** is the 219th day of the year (220th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

Those born on **August 7** have an irresistible attraction to all kinds of secret and furtive facts. Their own behavior is often furtive, and they are likely to show an interest in spy or mystery stories, riddles and puzzles of all kinds. Those more oriented towards academic or scientific disciplines will seek to master foreign languages, delve into history or unravel the secrets of nature. These individuals are never happier than when they discover previously unknown information and reveal it to a colleague or close friend. In a way, they are like detectives who bring the truth to light and find an interesting, sometimes lucrative, use for it.

Those born on this day must be careful not to create antagonisms, especially with those affected by their discoveries. Although they generally have good intentions, they are sometimes unable to anticipate the consequences of their actions. They should also thoroughly investigate the facts to determine the validity of their conclusions.

Many of them express a desire to reveal their hidden selves—or the intimacies of their private lives—although they are afraid to do so and remain discreet. Sometimes they confide in a special family member or friend, but even someone as close as a couple can live a lifetime with someone born on August 7 oblivious to the secret world they inhabit. Perhaps it is because those born on this day are experts at playing two or more roles. They may seem conventional, and in fact be model spouses or parents, while leading a secret life. Some find a kind of balance in that life and manage to maintain it for long periods before they are discovered, perhaps after death.

People born on August 7 have a great sense of humor and are adept at making fun of potentially dangerous situations, often to avoid being mistrusted by others. Unfortunately, out of force of habit, they also hide trivialities or unnecessarily exaggerate the truth. A person born on this day will find it difficult to give a concise answer or state the facts in a few words. If they feel unable to fit in in the workplace, or in society at large, they may embellish their stories out of a need for approval or a desire to please others.

**NUMBERS AND PLANETS**

Those born on the seventh day of the month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune. Since Neptune is the planet that rules visions, dreams, and paranormal phenomena, those born on August 7 are often prone to instability. These Neptunian influences, combined with the effects of the Sun (ruler of Leo), can explain the capricious behavior and unrealistic plans and expectations of these individuals, as well as their tendency to associate with unsavory people. Those ruled by the number 7 are lovers of change and travel, which is evident in the constant search for emotions of those born on August 7.

**TAROT**

The seventh card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a victorious figure traveling the world and manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. This card suggests that no matter how narrow or precarious the right path may be, you need to keep moving along it. Its positive meanings are success, talent and competence; the negatives, a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.

**HEALTH**

The most important health risks of those born on August 7 are psychological. Some of those born on this day easily lose touch with reality and are extremely fickle. Others strive to find a balance in their life, but in the process they put themselves under enormous stress. Most of these individuals could benefit from psychotherapy treatment, which will not only allow them to examine their behavior objectively, but also give them the opportunity to express themselves in the strictest confidence. Since the health of those born on this day depends a lot on their mental state, they should give more importance to the care of the psyche than to their physical appearance. They should also eat a balanced diet and exercise in moderation.

**ADVICE**

Apply your talent for research to constructive activities. Your fantasies may have other uses besides providing you with personal satisfaction. Try to be fair and honest with those around you and, more importantly, be honest with yourself.
