Your Birthday for May 02, 2015

Your Birthday | May 2nd, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most conscientious and trustworthy individuals born under your sign. Your word is your bond. You seek the higher things in life -- goodness, honor, respectability -- and you most often find them not far from home, for they are the very mainstays of your existence. You strive for that which is so often sought by others as well, but where they fail, you usually succeed. Your secret? You have a way of seeing things in a simple, straightforward way, with few or no complications. In this way, you keep your life from becoming tangled and confused. You live in the world, but you don't let the world get the better of you.

You are never one to shy away from difficulty, even when that difficulty is not of your making. You will immerse yourself in tricky situations with one motive, and only one: to help those who cannot help themselves. You are quite caring and generous.

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

SUNDAY, MAY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are feeling confident and capable. Getting a certain challenging task done shouldn't really require any unusual effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may need to spend a little more time examining the picture that looms before you. The future holds something rather complex.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once all the pieces of a certain puzzle are made available to you, you will have to spend some time putting them all into place.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can work with someone to come up with a schedule that benefits both of you, without requiring either to make any sort of sacrifice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're facing something that is routine, and something that is not. Do what you can to front-load your day, leaving routine affairs until later.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Trust may be put to the test, but when another goes to bat for you and moves things along successfully, you'll know where you stand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The message you have been waiting for may not be anything new, but it contains a reminder that will be timely -- and certainly helpful.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be in for a long day, though the creativity involved is likely to keep you in good spirits throughout the entire process.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself grappling with some difficult facts and figures. When you get the right answer, make a record of it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While you are waiting for others to join you in a certain endeavor, make sure that you have done all you can to anticipate developments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be surprised to learn that you are not being held accountable for a recent error -- though you were, indeed, a responsible party.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The earlier you are able to start, the more you will be able to get done -- and not merely because you'll have more hours to work with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Keeping others on track may actually be easier than keeping yourself on the straight-and-narrow -- but both must be done!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your personal relationships demand some special attention. It's not what you've been saying, but how you've been saying it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're ready to tackle something that you know will not be easy, yet you are confident that others will find it even harder than you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The time has come for you to attempt what others claim cannot be done. Ingenuity and inspiration will count for much.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Let someone guide you throughout the day, especially if you find yourself unable to anticipate coming events.

Your Birthday for April 30, 2015

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.
