Born today, you are one of the most energetic, colorful, vibrant and creative individuals born under your sign. But for all that, you take things very seriously; you are no stranger to the hard work and dedication that are required to succeed in the modern world. Indeed, you know better than most how to combine an old-fashioned work ethic with your own unique personality traits in order to come out on top in a way that is original and often surprising to the rest of the world. You're not one to do things in a conventional manner; you do unusual things, maintain an unusual personal style, dress in unusual ways and, for the most part, remain true to your own ideals and originality no matter what you are engaged in.
You are quick to understand how things work, and why. You seem to understand the basics of human nature in a way that allows you to get ahead of the competition simply by taking advantage of "the way people are." You enjoy the company of others, of course, but at times you may withdraw for extended periods.
Also born on this date are: Cher, singer and actress; Busta Rhymes, rapper; James Stewart, actor; Joe Cocker, singer; Tony Goldwyn, actor; Timothy Olyphant, actor; Mindy Cohn, actress; George Gobel, comedian; Ted Allen, TV personality; Dolley Madison, U.S. first lady; David Wells, baseball player; Anthony Zerbe, actor.

THURSDAY, MAY 21
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It may take more money than you had anticipated to work the deal you believe to be good for everyone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's not so much the information you receive that rubs you the wrong way, but rather the way in which you receive it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to put in a little extra effort to make up for an unexpected absence. More is going on than meets the eye.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be pulled in more than one direction, in part because of your emotional investment in a situation that is always changing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A promise recently made comes to fruition. What began as a big plan is likely to turn into something much more intimate.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may realize that a certain situation isn't giving you what you really need, but there are ways to increase the odds, surely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you're not getting what you need from those who have pledged you support. Perhaps you're not being clear.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be pushed into saying "yes" when you really want to say "no," but don't be hasty. Perhaps a third party can save the day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone may be spoiling for a fight that you are not geared up for at this time. Do what you can to talk him down.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your protective instincts will kick in when you encounter a situation involving those who cannot help themselves.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will want to determine if a loved one's fears are truly valid. You know what he or she is going through, and this helps.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your wishes and the wishes of someone you know well may not be wholly compatible, but you can strike a compromise.
