August Twenty-Fifth
The Day of the Unabashed Extrovert

August 25 people have an overwhelming desire to reveal themselves to others, whether in public or in private. Those born on this day are capable of carrying secrets around with them for years, only to one day disclose or even flaunt them publicly. Most August 25 people are by nature exhibitionists of all types, but they can play the role of highly private people when it suits them.

Although they are generally blessed with active, intelligent minds, August 25 people are intensely physical, and it may come as a revelation to others that they are so sexually and emotionally forward. Those born on this day are not afraid to make their wishes known in a dramatic fashion and in particular an August 25 woman with her mind made up about a man is not easily denied or diverted. Both men and women born on this day know how to employ their best features to win a mate -- whether it be beauty, brains or personality.

Those born on the 25th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 (2+5=7), and by the planet Neptune. Both the influence of the Sun and Mercury (rulers of Leo and Virgo, respectively) are still at work on this, the last day of the Leo-Virgo cusp (August 19-25). The Mercury-Neptune connection suggests that those born on this day may be prone to mental confusion as well as being swept off their feet by romantic illusions. The Sun-Neptune connection indicates flamboyance and sensationalism, which can make for a dynamic or charming personality, but can also lead to destruction.
