The birthday star won an Oscar in 2017 for her performance in “Fences.” She also received Oscar nominations for her roles in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “The Help” and “Doubt.” On television, Davis played Annalise Keating in “How to Get Away with Murder” and appeared in episodes of “The First Lady” and “Peacemaker.”
LION (July 23-August 22): The sum of the parts can be greater than the whole. Every small act of kindness and goodwill you perform this week could strengthen friendships, improve your reputation, and tie you more closely into the fabric of your community.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Consider spending your extra money on altruistic acts or treating yourself to life’s little comforts. Be on the lookout for genuine connections that might come into your life. A new friend might spark your enthusiasm or inspire your creativity.
SCALE (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Kindness is like a boomerang—if you send it out, it will find its way back to you from one source or another. However, reaching an acceptable compromise can be an art. If a deal doesn’t look or feel right in the coming week, consider whether it’s OK to walk away from it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Should you be lucky enough to succeed and reach great heights, it’s only right to extend a helping hand to someone else. Someone might be more than willing to develop a deeper relationship with you or snuggle up a little closer.
PROTECT (November 22-December 21): Kindness and affability can go a long way toward being a people pleaser, although a little friendly competition could spice things up in a fun way. Solve pesky financial problems with simple and practical changes.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): In the coming week, consider focusing your efforts on ventures that could bring financial gain. Develop strategies, think and research, and then wait for the optimal moment to begin significant new ventures.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Focus on improving your leadership skills. You can set a positive example of hard work that inspires imitation. Sharing your aspirations with others can help you gain support, which in turn can propel you further toward achieving your goals.
FISH (February 19 – March 20): Keep everyone in a good mood and spread kindness even when things don’t go as planned or someone disappoints you. Maybe you have a special knack for giving your home a cozy and elegant atmosphere. Spread some of that magic.
ARIES (March 21 – April 19): You can engage in fun but not extreme physical activities with a partner or loved ones to make the day as enjoyable as possible. Whether you do something adventurous or something more peaceful, your energy should find a suitable outlet.
BULL (April 20-May 20): Develop and nurture a long-term vision of wealth and prosperity. Regardless of your age or generation, it could be a good time to start saving for the future. Consider improving your prospects by contributing to your savings or making smart purchases.
TWINS (May 21-June 20): This week, remember that your actions can really shine and speak volumes. A genuine act of kindness or generosity will always mean more than just kind words. It may not be necessary to exaggerate or be extravagant to make an impression.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can benefit from being generous by sharing abundance and good fortune with others. Your judgment and business acumen can be strengthened if you have a trusted partner you can rely on and a helper to make important decisions.
IF AUGUST 11 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You might be more determined and competitive than usual over the next three to four weeks. Others might think you’re stubborn, so you might want to let off some extra steam by exercising. The first half of September could be a good time to devote yourself to creative projects or enjoy romantic adventures. In October, exercise may be helpful again, and this could be a good time to start a new exercise program or fit another workout into your week. You might also be motivated to work harder to achieve your goals at this time. Although you might be discouraged if things don’t go the way you envision, an opportunity to gain momentum could arise in January. You could successfully start a new business, launch important plans and projects, or take control of your destiny during this potentially very productive time.
