Your Birthday for May 12, 2015

Your Birthday | May 12th, 2015

Born today, you are the kind of person about whom other people are often thinking. Indeed, you are likely to be so often the center of attention that you must get used to the idea of sacrificing your own privacy and stepping out upon the world stage to live your life in the public eye -- for that is very likely what the stars have in store for you. You may not always like it -- who would? -- but the truth is that you were born to do things in a style that is uniquely your own, often for reasons that are uniquely your own, and being "on stage" may be the best possible way for you to do that. Were you a solitary, private individual you would get far less done in life.

You have a great deal of sex appeal, and you may well leave many broken hearts in your wake, though this is not intentional. The truth is that you enjoy being in love; even if a love affair is destined to fail, you will pursue it simply for the short-term pleasure it can bring you.

Also born on this date are: Emilio Estevez, actor; Florence Nightingale, nurse; Jason Biggs, actor; Katharine Hepburn, actress; Yogi Berra, baseball player; George Carlin, comedian; Ving Rhames, actor; Malin Akerman, actress; Burt Bacharach, singer-songwriter and pianist; Steve Winwood, singer-songwriter; Stephen Baldwin, actor; Gabriel Byrne, actor; Bruce Boxleitner, actor; Tom Snyder, journalist; Richard Riehle, actor; Edward Lear, poet.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Things are likely to be interconnected in ways that you had not anticipated. Names and dates will prove important as you sort matters out.

Your Birthday for May 11, 2015

Your Birthday | May 11th, 2015

Born today, you are an energetic and forceful individual with a great deal of personal charisma and the vision and skill required to make a better future for yourself and for others. You are never satisfied with doing the same old thing again and again; you want to take what you have done before -- and what others have done, also -- and build upon it, making it bigger, better and more rewarding than ever before. You can, at times, be difficult to deal with, especially when you get the bit between your teeth and refuse to listen to any dissenting views. But such times are rare; you are usually quite collaborative, though certainly destined to play a leading role.

Your endeavors are not likely to go unnoticed, and you must always go about your business knowing that others are paying attention to your every move, whether large or small. It's important that you play by the rules -- unless, of course, you are doing something that is actually designed to change those rules!

Also born on this date are: Cam Newton, football player; Salvador Dali, artist; Natasha Richardson, actress; Irving Berlin, songwriter; Louis Farrakhan, religious leader; Martha Graham, choreographer and dancer; Foster Brooks, actor; Tim Blake Nelson, actor; Martha Quinn, television personality; Cory Monteith, actor; Phil Silvers, actor and comedian; Frances Fisher, actress; Laetitia Casta, model; Amanda Freitag, celebrity chef.

TUESDAY, MAY 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're working hard to clarify something that has only been suggested by others. Avoid doing anything that can be misinterpreted in turn.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is not the time for skipping around willy-nilly. You must strategize and come up with an agenda you and others can follow faithfully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're eager to get your hands on a certain something, but take care that you don't wind up with too much of a good thing!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The results you get will be contingent upon the methods you adopt to pursue them. Everything is interconnected in this way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be waiting to hear from someone who will prove instrumental in shaping your immediate future. You've got options, however.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may complain to someone that something can't be done, but a rival may have already demonstrated that it can be done quite well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Listen to what those in charge are saying about what lies ahead, and you'll be able to prepare more thoroughly and be ready to make changes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not reach your goal today, but you'll progress further than some may expect -- including you. Assess your methods carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may feel as though you've been left out somehow, but the truth is that you have not made enough of an effort to be included.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will learn that any disappointment today is likely your own fault -- or at least the product of your current course of action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time to face the facts and do what you must to turn things around. Try to make excuses, and others will surely see through you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you don't let yourself be distracted by someone who doesn't understand the seriousness of your current situation.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can demonstrate that you are far from irrelevant, but you may suspect that someone still wants you out of the picture for some reason.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll surely be ready for a fight if you find that a rival is encroaching on territory you have always considered yours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have been hiding your desires for too long, even from yourself. Try dusting them off and seeing how you feel about them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be required to travel farther from home than you had originally intended -- but the benefits will be clear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll recognize someone not for what he brings to the table, but for what he doesn't. This kind of thinking can lead to more insights.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's important for you to read between the lines in order to get the entire message that is being transmitted to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Remember, you don't have the benefit of tone or facial expression to help you decipher messages sent to you electronically.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're ready to take on a new burden, but in reality, you don't think of it as a burden in any way whatsoever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't see the worth in something that is widely accepted by others as highly valuable. This surely sets you apart.

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!
