August Zodiac Signs
People born in August are either Leo or Virgo. August birthday babies whose dates fall between August 1 and 22 are under the Leo Zodiac sign. Those whose dates are from August 23 till the end of the month are members of the Virgo Zodiac.
As the first sign in the month of August, Leo is a fixed fire sign that is ruled by the sun, a brightly burning body that fixes the personality type into a consistent, mostly unchanging set of traits. The Leo symbol is represented by a Lion, a fiery creature whose characteristics reflect so greatly in Leos.
The Virgo sign, on the other hand, is a mutable earth sign that is ruled by mercury, the planet that governs communication and intellect. Members of this sign are naturally more flexible than other signs. The Virgo symbol is represented by the Virgin, which does not translate to sexual virginity in any way, instead, it ties to the sign’s dedication to purity, self-care, and service.
Together, these two Zodiacs make up the personalities of August-borns. We have picked a few of their shared personalities and how their month of birth influences these.

August Birthday Traits
As sweet and admirably bold as they are, August-borns do not quite have it all. They have their own shortcomings too, just like everyone else. We have classified their qualities into positive and negative traits below.
Positive August Traits
People born in August have a lot going on for them. A lot of facts about summer babies take their full effect on them as they were born right in the heat of it all.
One of the positive August traits is that people born in this month are natural leaders. They are unarguably the best for the job and know just how to command authority and render their service when the situation calls for it. They like to protect and intercede, even when they are not in a safe place themselves.
They are super independent folks who like to do things by themselves and on their own terms. August-borns think of themselves as superior and therefore don’t believe anyone is as skilled enough to run their affairs for them.
They are extremely unafraid and have the boldness to achieve the scariest of things in life. This is also seen in how consistent they can be, strongly believing that in order to get something, one has to keep at it for as long as it takes.
Negative August Traits
On the flip side of all of these positive traits mentioned above are some really negative traits that may have you reconsidering…
August-borns are full of themselves. Their display of pride, power, and independence can sometimes get under everyone’s skin. People want to be around people who actually see and appreciate them, and not just protect and defend. This is exactly what August folks do. They tend to make everyone else feel like some child who cannot take care of themselves.
People born in August may seek as much attention as they can get but that doesn’t mean they want to hang out with everyone. They are not easy to make friends with and may not give people the chance to earn their loyalty. They don’t mind keeping the same friends for years as long as these friends don’t do anything that would provoke the summer babies, they may not be forgiven just like that. August folks are very possessive of their friends, and also tend to get jealous easily.
