People born in this season, on August 16, carry the temperament of Leo (July 23 – August 22). Even among people who share a birthday, how each person feels and what each excels at differs. On this page, we read through their personality, talents, and the things connected to them, one by one.
Birth Flower
Your birth flower is the Aster. In the language of flowers, it means "Change & Remembrance." Like that flower, the charm of people born on this day quietly draws in those around them. Bringing flowers into your daily life brightens the air of the day a little. Recalling the flower's meaning can be a chance to reconnect with who you are.
Birthstone
Peridot. A stone symbolizing love between partners, peace and happiness. Its bright green is said to bring sunny, cheerful energy. Keeping your birthstone close by can be a gentle reminder of who you are.
Birth Color
Byakugun Blue. Weaving it into small accessories or things you wear can help steady your state of mind. Simply being aware of a color can make it easier to shift your mood.
Personality
You are bright, with a real presence. You love entertaining the people around you and naturally find yourself at the center. You combine confidence with warmth.
You are expressive, with a gift for sharing your world with others. You are proud, yet faithful to your promises. When people cheer you on, you shine even more.
The air of the season you were born in also adds color to your temperament. Sensitive to changes around you, you read the mood of a place while keeping your own pace.
The strength of people born on this day is that they combine a distinctly Leo-like tenacity with thoughtfulness toward others. To make the most of that strength, what matters most is continuing at a pace that never strains you. Working together with the people around you leads to even greater fruit.
Your Birthday in Numbers
Adding up all the digits of your birthday (0+8+1+6=15) leads, in the end, to the number 6. 6 is the number of love and harmony. You carry the power to protect the people who matter and to create places where everyone feels at ease. This number is a clue for reading the habits in how people born on this day act, and how they approach things. Keep your birthday number quietly in mind as a signpost for moments when you're unsure.
Ruling Planet
Your ruling planet is the Sun, the center and the source of radiance. It is said to grant the power to light people up and energize everyone around you. By being aware of your ruling planet's power, you can see more clearly how to make the most of your strengths. Spending your days mindful of your ruling planet's theme makes it easier to return to your own pace.
What You Love — and What You Find Hard
You delight in chances to stand before people, in being appreciated, and in fun events. When your expression truly reaches others, you feel a deep sense of fulfillment.
On the other hand, Being ignored or treated lightly can be a little hard to take. When your abilities go unrecognized, your energy can deflate. In difficult situations, what matters is not pushing yourself, and protecting your own pace.
Love & Relationships
In love you are romantic and passionate. You treasure your partner and have a gift for creating special moments. Your open, honest affection is your charm. Valuing your partner's feelings while honestly sharing your own is the key to deepening the relationship.
Work & Talents
