Born today, you are rarely one to avoid taking the high road; you will do all you can to defuse sensitive situations by treating people well, and with respect and consideration. This in itself is nothing to wonder at -- but when it is truly remarkable is when you yourself have been wronged in some way. At that point, the fact that you are so willing to let bygones be bygones is something, indeed, to remember -- and emulate, too! Indeed, there are many who consider you a kind of role model, and who will do all they can to live their lives by your example. For someone else, this may be an undue pressure -- but not for you.
You rarely let yourself fall under the influence of those who would have you behave in any way that is not organic or natural for you; you are so confident and secure that you can recognize instantly when someone else doesn't click with you in that way -- and even then you are able to be friendly and considerate.
Also born on this date are: Naomi Campbell, model; Susan Strasberg, actress; Mary Cassatt, artist; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author.

THURSDAY, MAY 23
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Unwanted influences can certainly be avoided today -- but one or two may be more difficult to identify in the first place.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care that you don't reveal too much today when you find yourself immersed in a situation that could prove hazardous.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll get some encouragement today from an unusual source. You'll be ready to return the favor when the need arises.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll have more questions than answers today, but that's no reason to stop the quest. You'll run into an unexpected obstacle after dark.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can prove your popularity today in a way that doesn't say the wrong things to those who are not inclined to see things your way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be as openly communicative today as you are used to being -- and despite this, you can get a great deal done today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be using your time to the best possible advantage today. Take care that someone else doesn't beat you to the punch, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something may be going on at home at this time that you don't want to share openly -- even with those who know you well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be waiting for something that is not likely to come to pass anytime soon. It's a good day to let go of unrealistic expectations.
