Being a Leo born on August 6th, you are well known for your positive outlook and side-splitting humor. You gravitate to the spotlight, as you use being the center of attention to entertain your friends and loved ones. Possibly even more important than your humor is your ability to deal with tough situations in an optimistic and hopeful way. You would be surprised at how much these qualities help to inspire those closest to you.

Fire is the Leo's paired element and you actually have a cardinal connection to the element. The influence of fire can been seen in the way you passionately and energetically take on life. When you find something interesting or challenging, you tackle it with great fortitude and determination. While this is not only impressive to those around you, it is also one of your greatest talents. Be weary of fire's negative influences, because if you let your enthusiasm burn to strongly, you may become impulsive and impatient.

The Sun is the planetary ruler of your sign, but because you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you are also influenced by the planet Jupiter. While the Sun can be given credit for your vitality and creativity, it is Jupiter that is linked to your generosity, optimism and pursuit of truth. You find great satisfaction from traveling, as you are given the chance to learn from new environments and cultures. Likewise, you always seem to find the best in the people you meet. Take care not to lose your positive outlook, as you will be surprised with the rewards that will accompany it through life.

Your creativity and people skills will serve you well in the professional world. A career in business, especially a position that requires travel may be fitting. Your natural ability to make others laugh would pair well with a career in entertainment, much like Lucille Ball, who was also born on August 6th. If you embrace your creativity, a career in arts may also be rewarding, which was the path of Andy Warhol, another of your birthday twins.

The Sabian Symbol for your birthday is a pageant, with floats and cheering people, moving along a street. While you may not be appealed to crowds or the chaos of celebrations, you should not overlook their importance. There is much excitement to be found in the release of almost primitive levels of camaraderie. Leave your comfort zone and join in a demonstration if the opportunity arises.
