According to Zodiac, you are a Virgo, born on AUGUST 24th, which is exactly the day and month when your literary idol, Jorge Luis Borges, had been born. Do you see in this coincidence any symbol, any factor determining you from the hour of your birth to become a writer?
 
Although I respect astrology, I think that it suggests, not determines what will you be. As for Borges, I discovered his birthday date long after I’ve start dreaming of becoming a writer. I do believe that you have a personal destiny to fulfill & you will find it out, regardless of the circumstances.

    There is something about astrology that excite me, something mysterious, I guess. Maybe because it is a part of the knowledge about our universe, about us?
    I wouldn’t rely on it though.
    There’s only One source I could trust - God.
    I don’t need to know about me or anybody from the stars, I trust in God, and believe that He wants only what’s best for me.
    Besides, it is so exciting to NOT know what will happen and await the unexpected.

    love

    P.S. Though I am happy to know that You, Paulo were born the same year as my mother, who’s no longer here.
    For me, it’s a good sign.

    I believe in Astrology very strongly ..You can tell everything by the numbers ,birth death ,highs and lows …I share mine with my Idol and I am very driven as well its a Leo thing ..While she is born in year 58 I am 68 ,so I have had my charts done ,it runs close ..But yes I agree, we determine our destiny ,even if it is pre written in the heavens so it shall be …
    Blessings Tania

    Como dice una amiga mia que sabe de Astrología: “Los astros inclinan pero no obligan”
    Quizás los Virgos sean dominantes de la palabra. Las artes literarias.
