Your Birthday for May 10, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 10th, 2015

Born today, you are a true original. You never follow in another's footsteps if you can help it, but you will always pay attention to what has gone before so that you can learn from what has or has not worked in the past. You are determined to follow your bliss, doing the things that bring you genuine contentment. You do not feel compelled to chase the kind of success that may prove so alluring to others. Money is secondary to happiness as far as you are concerned, and though you will always accept handsome compensation for doing what you most enjoy, the fact that you enjoy it is why you do it -- not because you get paid. It is very important that your job and your principles are in sync; you will never do anything that conflicts with your world view.

You can think big thoughts, tackle big challenges, win the big game, and in fact do everything in a big way. Like so many Taurus natives, you prefer to live life fully, unafraid and unwilling to compromise. And you are able to keep a smile on your face more often than not!

Also born on this date are: Bono, singer; Missy Franklin, Olympic swimmer; Fred Astaire, actor, dancer and singer; Sid Vicious, musician; Judith Jamison, dancer and choreographer; Pat Summerall, sportscaster; Chris Berman, sportscaster; Nancy Walker, actress; Gary Owens, TV personality and voice actor; Donovan, singer.

MONDAY, MAY 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- By being painfully honest with yourself and others, you give yourself the best possible chance of progressing to a new level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is ready to show you the ropes if you are ready to listen and learn. The time has come for you to consider all options.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may be time, at long last, for you to begin redefining the central relationship in your life. It's not conventional by any means!

Your Birthday | May 9th, 2015

Born today, you are destined to make your mark and be remembered -- if not for what you do, then simply for who you are, for you have been endowed with one of the most colorful and memorable personalities of all Taurus natives. You know yourself quite well, and you know where your abilities truly lie. You're not the kind to explore endeavors that do not sit in your sweet spot, as you are determined to succeed and make the most of what you have been given. You know how to take raw materials and blend them in a unique and lasting way in order to have the greatest possible impact; you do this again and again with your own talents and with even the most mundane of tasks. You can make a top-notch salad, for example!

There are times when you may engage in flights of fancy that are simply too unconventional to be embraced or even understood by others. That's fine with you, for you are determined to be yourself, whether or not those around you approve. You're not the kind to insist on companionship. You can go it alone quite contentedly.

Also born on this date are: Billy Joel, singer-songwriter; Mike Wallace, journalist; Prince Fielder, baseball player; Rosario Dawson, actress; Candice Bergen, actress; Albert Finney, actor; John Brown, abolitionist leader; James L. Brooks, producer; John Corbett, actor; Tony Gwynn, baseball player; J.M. Barrie, writer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can hit upon a new method of doing a certain thing. This will increase not only your chance of success, but your rewards as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's perfectly all right for you to maintain the highest possible standards, but you must accept the fact that you may not always measure up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been doing things in a way that promotes healthier living. Today, however, you may be tempted by a certain indulgence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're waiting for someone else to pick up some slack before you continue doing your part. Now is no time to do it all on your own.

Your Birthday for May 08, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 8th, 2015

Born today, you are the kind to get attention wherever you go, but you must be aware that it will not always be the best kind of attention! Indeed, while you are sure to win over the hearts of many, there are just as many who are determined to dislike, resent and criticize you -- and, as much as is possible, let the whole world know about it as well! What is it about you that inspires such vitriol from some people? It's nothing that you do intentionally, of course! It could be merely that you have what they want, that you are who they would like to be, and you are able to do what they can only dream of -- but it is likely to be a combination of all of these, added to the fact that you dare to make your dreams come true.

You don't hold grudges, however, and you are perfectly willing to treat your critics with as much respect and affection as those who genuinely like and admire you. You will always treat others as well as you can, no matter how they may treat you in return. This, if nothing else, surely sets you apart!

Also born on this date are: Enrique Iglesias, singer; Melissa Gilbert, actress; Harry S. Truman, U.S. president; David Attenborough, television host; Don Rickles, comedian and actor; Ricky Nelson, singer; Toni Tennille, singer; Sonny Liston, boxer; Ronnie Lott, football player; Bill Cowher, football coach and commentator; David Keith, actor; Peter Benchley, novelist.

SATURDAY, MAY 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll derive inspiration from the strangest, most unexpected sources. Let another take the wheel for a time during evening hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be itching to get started with something that is making you wait longer than you had hoped. You can use the time to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is the time to weigh the pros and cons of a proposal that you haven't yet taken very seriously. It could mean some important changes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to get yourself into a jam that can only be worked out through a new level of honesty -- and maneuverability.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're seeing things from a strictly literal point of view, but in fact, the more you interpret things symbolically, the better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can see yourself in a new role very soon, but you probably have to tie up some loose ends before making any kind of change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An invitation comes your way that has you considering a schedule change. Take care that you're not forgetting a key detail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must think long and hard about what you really want in order to put yourself in the best position to receive what is coming to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You and another party must talk openly about what lies ahead; otherwise, both will be making assumptions that can be harmful in the long run.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Yes, the clock is ticking, and yes, you may be running a little behind, but you mustn't let your nerves get the better of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to realize what you've been missing lately. It's not something you require, but it's something you'd very much enjoy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're reaching a new level of creativity. Take care you don't take yourself too seriously, however. Even you can make mistakes!
