Those born on August 31st are very much concerned with being in the public eye themselves and/or helping others to make their way in society. Those born on this day are usually people who find themselves deeply involved with events occurring around them. Not only are they inevitably drawn in to the main currents of life, but they are also fated to stand out, sometimes in a quiet way, from those around them. Some August 31 people are entertaining, simply fun to be around. Others are more serious and concerned with improving the lot of those around them. The more entertaining type loves to perform and lift the spirits of his/her family and friends. The more serious type is more interested in educating others, whether through example or by actively promoting principles and/or knowledge. Regardless of how they express themselves socially, those born on this day are most often found working in the service of their fellow human beings, trying to improve the general state of things through their efforts.
August 31 people know what makes others tick. Whether as parents, performers, bosses or teachers, they are psychologically astute, able to understand and influence the thoughts and moods of others, and perhaps enlighten them.
August 31st people have an attractive air about them which most people like. They have a kind of quiet and solid charm that invariably attracts others to them. Therefore, although they are good team members, their lot is often to become leaders. Such a position of leadership suits their talents-organizational skills and decision-making ability, to name two-but on the other hand, may be stressful for their personality. Generally August 31 people display an aversion to ostentation.
Generally, August 31st people do not have difficulty finding their way in the world. Their great struggle, however, will be reconciling their public commitments and their private wishes and needs. Having a getaway to escape to, a cherished hobby or a secret role which they play far from the public eye is often essential to their psychological well-being.
Those born on the 31st day of any month are ruled by the number 4 (3+1=4). Since only 7 months have a 31st day it is a bit of an unusual number for a birthday, and the people born on these days are equally unusual and hard to fathom. Those ruled by the number 4 can be difficult or argumentative, since they so often see things differently from others. They also take rejection very hard.
