People born on August 17 can be at risk of bad experiences caused by the opposite sex due to their passion.
Horoscope and personality for those born on August 17
When they ever start something, they persistently try to see it finished, which usually happens. They do nothing partially; they do everything with strength, enthusiasm, and courage.
They have a good memory and are persistent in both views and sympathies. When they are offended by someone, they will not change their mind. Preventive, full of intuition. They can create excellent projects. They run large companies where their organizational skills can shine. Flaws: People born on this day give in to their passions without a second thought, pursue distractions, and their actions are often careless. Such people do not show as much consistency in their life goals as they do with likes and dislikes, and they do not like persistent effort.
They enjoy pleasure and luxury and strive for glory and greatness. Imperious, pompous, hasty, willful. They show persistent hostility towards other people, so they cannot always be counted on. What threatens them? Their taste is subtle, finding interest in everything that is beautiful, but they must be careful because the sun will not always shine in their lives. They are too passionate and emotional people, so they are at risk of bad experiences due to the opposite sex.
They should avoid traveling by water, as it puts them in danger of drowning. How to raise a child born on this day? Parents or educators must develop his will and conscience, teaching him how to take control of his instincts and passions. That child should be taught to be modest and not pay too much attention to himself, as he shows a tendency to do just that. When you start to control your character traits in this way, you can achieve great development.
