Your Birthday for May 01, 2015

Your Birthday | May 1st, 2015

Born today, you are destined for greatness -- it is that simple. This does not mean, of course, that greatness is guaranteed, or that you can simply do whatever you like without a care in the world and expect your destiny to land, unearned, in your lap. On the contrary, you are going to have to work to fulfill your destiny -- to treat it with respect and care and to allow yourself to grow and evolve to the point that you are the proper vessel for the kinds of achievement and success that the stars are ready to bestow upon you. The greatest sin you can commit is to waste your talents by ignoring them and allowing them to lie dormant, unexplored and undeveloped. You must always strive to make the best of yourself, so that you are ready to fulfill your destiny when the time comes.

You enjoy experimenting and taking trial runs to prepare for what lies ahead. You don't like doing a thing "for real" for the first time; you want to know what it is you will be facing -- good and bad -- so that you can tailor your approach accordingly. In this way, you are confident that you can maximize your chances for success.

Also born on this date are: Tim McGraw, singer; Judy Collins, singer; Ray Parker Jr., singer; Glenn Ford, actor; Joanna Lumley, actress; Kate Smith, singer; Rita Coolidge, singer; Dann Florek, actor; John Woo, director; Jack Paar, radio and television personality.

SATURDAY, MAY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may discover that breaking one of your own rules can actually prove beneficial to you -- at least temporarily.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may slip and slide a bit, but you'll regain stable footing before long. Someone you've just met may prove helpful to you.

Your Birthday for April 30, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 30th, 2015

Born today, you work well with others or on your own. It matters little to you which mode a given circumstance or opportunity may require, for you are prepared for either. Your nature is such that you can take what comes in this regard in a relaxed and easy manner. Your personal style is unique; you never seem to let the world get to you, and you never appear to be at the mercy of circumstance -- or of your emotions. Some may say that you are too quick to shrug things off, and that you do not care enough in general -- but your manner belies a deep, inner concern that shapes almost everything you do.

Once you meet the man or woman of your dreams, you're willing to do anything and everything to win him or her -- though you may experience a few setbacks born of your tendency to reveal your romantic intentions a bit too soon. You can, indeed, come on too strong!

Also born on this date are: Kirsten Dunst, actress; Johnny Galecki, actor; Cloris Leachman, actress; Adrian Pasdar, actor; Eve Arden, actress; Jill Clayburgh, actress; Jane Campion, filmmaker; Burt Young, actor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The impact your actions have on those around you will depend, in part, upon your level of commitment and what you're really after.

Your Birthday for April 29, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 29th, 2015

Born today, you are destined to achieve much that you want in life, provided you combine two very different approaches into one that works for you. You must, on one hand, trust in the stars to lay out a path for you that you can follow faithfully, no matter where it may lead. On the other hand, you must be willing to improvise now and then, making the best of unforeseen opportunities as they arise. You are naturally more inclined toward one of these methods than the other, and it is important for you to know which, so that you can work hard to increase your proficiency at the other. Too much of one can only lead to disappointment, not to mention dangerous encounters.

You don't like to play games; you like to face what comes in an open, honest manner. You take things quite seriously, but you are likely to develop a unique brand of humor that sees you through difficult times. Even when you are laughing, however, you are looking at life in a sober, responsible fashion.

Also born on this date are: Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and actor; Amy Heidemann, singer; Michelle Pfeiffer, actress; Dale Earnhardt, auto racer; Uma Thurman, actress; Daniel Day-Lewis, actor; Duke Ellington, musician; Andre Agassi, tennis player; Celeste Holm, actress; Carnie Wilson, singer; William Randolph Hearst, publisher; Richard Kline, actor; Hirohito, emperor of Japan.

THURSDAY, APRIL 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may need help when you find yourself in a strange or forbidding environment. Not everyone can do what you need, however.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your generosity goes a long way. The secret to success, of course, is preparation -- something at which you're an expert.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you want may seem out of reach, but in fact it's right by your side, and all you have to do is shift your focus just a little.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be tempted to jump ship, but you will miss out on a golden opportunity if you do. You can ride out these difficulties.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will benefit from a new and improved point of view. You've been seeing things in a way that doesn't mesh with your current situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must tend to that which requires the most effort. Other things will wait, surely, but those will demand time and attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself challenged in an unexpected way, but you will be ready, thanks to a recent unusual experience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have to uncover certain facts on your own if you're going to solve a mystery that has you and others on the edge of your seats.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Only the expected is likely to come at you, so there's no excuse for not being prepared. Evening brings a revelation of sorts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're watching someone closely, and his or her every move seems to make sense, up to a point. After that, things may get somewhat confusing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll discover elements of the truth in random order; you must take the time to get them in proper sequence before passing judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's important that you follow instructions to the letter; there's very little room, if any, for improvisation.
