Your Birthday for May 04, 2014

Your Birthday | May 4th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most capable individuals born under the sign of the Bull, and one of the most sympathetic and caring as well. You are never so contented as when you are in the company of others, doing what you can to communicate effectively and make things just a little easier for them, even in the smallest of ways. You don't measure success by the size of the accomplishment; rather, you judge its significance in ways that are deeply personal. In this way, you are able to find value in even the most seemingly trivial of doings. You understand that it doesn't take something big to have a big impact -- on your own life or on the lives of others.

There may, at times, be something mysterious about you, and you will surely attract the attention of those who are eager to look beneath the surface and get to know the real you. You are determined to be loved and appreciated for being yourself, first and foremost.

Also born on this date are: Audrey Hepburn, actress; Randy Travis, singer; Pia Zadora, entertainer; George Will, author and commentator; Paul Gleason, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

MONDAY, MAY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mean a lot to someone who has been watching you lately, but can you provide what he or she really needs? Consider what's possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know that a recent fling was only for the fun of it, but you may have trouble convincing someone else of that truth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Not everyone agrees with your approach, but what you are trying to do is likely to capture everyone's imagination. You'll win support.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The time has come for you to accept what another is doing, or stand up and object to it. Whatever happens, you'll be affected in many ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others are going to be talking about you, so why not make sure that they're not doing so behind your back?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're in no mood to be taken for granted. It may be time to assert yourself in a new way. A loved one gives you a leg up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are seeking answers to questions that a great many people have asked before you. Today, however, you may find them within reach.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may require help as you search for something that has gone missing. It could be worthwhile to ask someone outside your circle of friends.

Your Birthday for May 03, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 3rd, 2014

Born today, you are likely to luck out when you are relatively young and enjoy a professional break that actually propels you forward at a quick and steady pace toward the kind of success of which others only dream. This doesn't mean, of course, that your success is guaranteed; on the contrary, you must always work hard, prioritize and do what you can to better your chances, but you will surely benefit from that rare and unusual start that you were given way back when. You are not always the kind to dedicate yourself to a single line of endeavor, however. Take care, for steady distractions can keep you from fulfilling your true potential.

You appreciate the big picture, but you have much more fun examining the small details that lie within. You would rather spend hours contemplating something minute and significant than a few highly charged minutes experiencing something big, loud and outrageous. You are studious by nature.

Also born on this date are: Dule Hill, actor; Bing Crosby, actor and singer; Frankie Valli, singer; Pete Seeger, singer-songwriter; Sugar Ray Robinson, boxer; Christina Hendricks, actress; Golda Meir, former prime minister of Israel; Christopher Cross, singer; Doug Henning, magician; Niccolo Machiavelli, author and philosopher; Mary Astor, actress.

SUNDAY, MAY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- While you're trying to figure out what happened and why, someone else is likely to exploit your recent error and use it to get ahead of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Things aren't likely to pan out exactly as you had hoped -- but in some ways, as a result, they will exceed your expectations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The beginning and ending of a thing are likely to become somewhat blurred. Which end you are at will depend upon your point of view.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're coming out of a kind of funk, but you needn't let others know that you're not feeling quite up to a coming challenge.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're ready to start something new, but you're going to need a partner to make the best of it. Let the search begin; it can be fun!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you do with a younger family member can prove quite liberating to you -- especially when you realize what is or isn't at stake.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're trying to make sense out of something that has been nothing more than a feeling for quite a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may get a "talking-to" from someone who thinks that he or she is in charge of what you do during the day. Don't take it too seriously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The end of something significant is right around the corner, but you may not be ready to close the book on this particular episode.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You and a former partner may have to come together to straighten things out for a third party. This reunion may be semi-permanent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take care that you don't let anger rule your decision-making. What you say in the heat of the moment can endanger something valuable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be showing signs of wear around the edges; perhaps it's time to give yourself a little well-deserved time off.

Your Birthday for May 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 2nd, 2014

Born today, you are just as interested in seeing those around you do well in their own endeavors as you are in succeeding at your own. You will often drop what you are doing to help someone in need, confident that you are giving him or her exactly what is necessary to prevent failure and promote success. You seem quite able to move with ease among all kinds of people, whether in social situations or professional scenarios. There is a part of you, of course, that merely wants to be remembered -- something you have in common with most Taurus natives -- and you will do whatever you think is necessary to put yourself squarely in other people's minds.

You have a keen eye, a steady hand and the ability to stay on target when others find it difficult to maintain clear focus. There are times, too, when you truly have nerves of steel, and can navigate the most treacherous landscape with relative ease.

Also born on this date are: Dwayne Johnson, wrestler and actor; David Beckham, soccer player; Engelbert Humperdinck, singer; Christine Baranski, actress; Manfred von Richthofen, World War I pilot; Theodore Bikel, actor; David Suchet, actor; Hedda Hopper, journalist; Larry Gatlin, singer; Benjamin Spock, pediatrician and author.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can proceed with your plans with an air of confidence. Seek out those who understand not only your methods, but your motives as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to dig deeper than expected in order to get your work done. Something that was easy yesterday is much harder today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A collaborative effort is likely to pay off in ways you had not anticipated. Those involved will enjoy a new sense of ownership.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care that you don't try to outthink someone so much that you actually outthink yourself. It may be time to get out of your head.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If it's true that what goes around comes around, then today you're sure to get more than you bargained for in many unusual ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The reactions of those around you must be weighed carefully; they can help you assess your progress as you modify your approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must follow the rules, no matter how frustrating it may be to do so -- especially when you have your goals already in sight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Information you receive today proves valuable as you attempt something that others have warned you not to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone is attracted not only to you personally, but to what you are trying to accomplish overall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- There is an emotional component to the day's activities that can get you into trouble if you are not careful. Follow your own rules.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can afford to let others figure things out. You will want your focus to be on private matters that only you can address.
