Greetings!
The individuals born during The Week of Balanced Strength (August 3-10) are solid individuals who can be counted on in times of stress or difficulty. In fact they like to be tested, and are at their best when circumstances or people demand the very best of which they are capable. Once committed to a person or a cause they rarely or ever give up. They particularly dislike pretension, taking the side of the underprivileged and fearlessly opposing those in positions of power if necessary in defense of those more sensitive or vulnerable. Although tough, they also have a more sensitive side that emerges in their love of art and music. Stay away from them when they are unbalanced for such a sight can be both upsetting and perilous.
Courageous and idealistic persons such as WWII correspondent Ernie Pyle, Swedish diplomat and rescuer of Jews from the Nazis Raoul Wallenberg, astronaut Neil Armstrong, and President Barack Obama characterize those born during this week. Film director John Huston, anthropologist Lewis Leakey, basketball star Patrick Ewing, and British Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley pursued their vision fearlessly with total physical commitment. Powerful individuals like entrepreneur Martha Stewart, actors Dustin Hoffman, Melanie Griffith, Keith Carradine and singer-actress Whitney Houston also typify the positive energy and strength of those born during this week.
During The Week of Balanced Strength we all must be careful not to let our aggressive drives get out of control. Keeping one's composure under the most trying of circumstances is a challenge that must be met. The ability to compromise and to be diplomatic are to be exercised rather than attacking with hotheaded impulse. The degree of success achieved during this week will be directly proportional to the ability to keep balanced and the refusal to let others push one's buttons at will.
