Those born on August 28th are masters at the use of language. Normally the word language refers to the use of written and spoken word, and indeed many people born on this day are good enough at that. But in a larger sense, the meaning intended here is the language of craft, a kind of technical facility, and people born on this day who are less verbally oriented usually master the technical aspects of what they do in their profession down to the last detail. In addition, August 28 people are convincing they know how to get others to think about what they say, admire what they do and perhaps agree with them.

August 28 people can quietly overwhelm others with the persuasiveness of their knowledge and ideas, which are deep and wide-ranging. They can also readily back up they say with fistful of facts. Too often, however, they are so convinced of the rightness of what they are doing that they misjudge their audience, its needs and desires, thus family, friends and the general public may agree with them at the time of discussion only to change their minds later, or worse yet just forget about the matter entirely. Many born on this day have an aptitude for foreign language.

It is only natural that family and friends come to the August 28 people for advice, as those born on this day often make excellent counselors, clergyman, social workers, politicians and the like. Therefore, an August 28th person s social, family or civic responsibility is very high and great care must be taken in bringing influential opinions to bear on the problems of others.

Those born on the 28th of the month are ruled by the number 1 (2+8=10, 1+0=1). Those ruled by the number 1 like to be first, are opinionated and eager to rise to the top.
