Your Birthday for May 24, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 24th, 2015

Born today, you are confident and rather cocky individual. While this aspect of your personality may be rather attractive when you are young, actually opening doors for you as you chart your professional path, the fact is that later in life you are likely to rub others the wrong way if you refuse to temper that part of yourself that is so aggressively confident and capable. Once you manage to balance your own self-appraisal with more acceptable public behavior, you'll surely do fine -- but leave that aspect of your personality unchecked, and you're sure to encounter difficulties as you reach maturity.

You crave romance, and you will fall in love again and again when you are young -- until you realize that love and infatuation are two very different things, and that one can bring true contentment while the other cannot. You don't want to nurse a broken heart throughout your entire life, surely!

Also born on this date are: Bob Dylan, singer-songwriter; Patti LaBelle, singer; Queen Victoria of Great Britain; Tommy Chong, actor and comedian; John C. Reilly, actor; Priscilla Presley, actress; Rosanne Cash, singer; Gary Burghoff, actor; Heavy D., rapper; Jim Broadbent, actor; Alfred Molina, actor; Eric Close, actor; Kristin Scott Thomas, actress.

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 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be feeling trapped by one or two of your own recent decisions. Remember, nothing is permanent -- at least not just yet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's important for you to be in the right place at the right time, or much that you have been working toward may have to be sacrificed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have certain criticisms to offer, but overall you will be very pleased with the way things turn out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Repetition is the key to perfection -- usually. Today, however, you may find it quite tedious. You'll find a balance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself getting closer to a certain someone than you ever intended, yet it would be a mistake to force the issue in any way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to be the source of an idea that takes others by storm when the time comes -- but you must wait until it has ripened a bit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not fully understand what someone else expects of you, but if you do what you know must be done, all will be well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must make plans that are specific and detailed. Avoid approaching anything in a general, whitewashed sort of way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Preparations you make today are sure to pay off tomorrow, provided you have filled others in on what you expect and desire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be heading off on a journey of exploration very soon, literally or figuratively. Indeed, both together could be satisfying!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can keep things going the way they are without much effort, but is that really enough for you? You can try for much more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have more reasons not to do something than to do it, but quantity may not be the issue. Certain reasons carry more weight.

Your Birthday for May 23, 2015

Your Birthday | May 23rd, 2015

Born today, you won't be known for just one important contribution to the human race -- or even two, for that matter. Instead, you're likely to do so much throughout your lifetime that you will be considered a true Renaissance man or woman. You will be remembered for doing all manner of valuable things for yourself, for those in your inner circle, for acquaintances and even for strangers and the world at large. It's not so much that you are determined to be philanthropic in your approach to life, but rather that you are compelled to do things that are, quite naturally, of value to others.

Though you may have many friends, the truth is that you may also remain something of a mystery to most, and this excites you in a very basic way. You enjoy being the kind of person that others can't readily figure out -- for you know that the more they try to do so, the more attention you will get!

Also born on this date are: Drew Carey, comedian and television personality; Kelly Monaco, actress; Joan Collins, actress; Rosemary Clooney, singer and actress; Douglas Fairbanks Sr., actor; Scatman Crothers, singer and actor; Artie Shaw, bandleader and musician; Ambrose Burnside, military leader and politician; Jewel, singer-songwriter.

SUNDAY, MAY 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can enjoy one of your favorite things, but circumstances may require you to share, at least with one or two in your inner circle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The goal you are working toward may seem to be moving farther away from you -- or is your own perspective becoming distorted?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be tempted to bend the rules, but at least one is in place to help you rather than hinder you. You mustn't fool with it!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Success lies in how you present the situation to those who can possibly help. You must stress possibilities, not difficulties.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's been far too long since you were able to focus on a particular personal pleasure, but today you may enjoy at least one rare opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must focus on key issues and not let yourself be distracted by trivia presented to you by those who are not involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be overcomplicating matters -- unintentionally, of course. Trust another to show you the error of your ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can learn from those who are more personally invested in a certain endeavor. Soon you'll be in the trenches as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have the chance to resurrect an old idea that you thought was obsolete. Current circumstances favor it, however.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can benefit from another's approach, but take care that you don't simply try to imitate him or her. Maintain originality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you see on the horizon inspires you to pay a little more attention to the situation in which you currently find yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The need for communication is increasing, especially at home. Certain issues require some special attention.

Your Birthday for May 22, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are an optimistic individual, but you are also able to look at the world in a wholly realistic fashion. Your expectations never reach past that which makes sense within the realm of true possibility, and you build your dreams and aspirations upon a strong foundation of realistic thought and action. You always try to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, and this gives you a distinct advantage over those who only do one or the other. You are confident, capable and always evolving; you learn from your mistakes, you are able to change with shifting circumstances and you never let yourself overreact to anything, whether good or bad.

You have a distinct style that others both appreciate and try to imitate, yet no one is really able to hit the mark when it comes to doing what you do, in the way you do it. You are certain to attract a great many admirers in your lifetime -- those with whom you are eager to work, play and share your life's aspirations.

Also born on this date are: Naomi Campbell, model; Katie Price, model; Ginnifer Goodwin, actress; Apolo Ohno, Olympic speed skater; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author; Harvey Milk, politician and civil rights leader; Richard Wagner, composer; Sir Laurence Olivier, actor and director; Mary Cassatt, artist; Paul Winfield, actor; Richard Benjamin, actor; Michael Constantine, actor.

SATURDAY, MAY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may slip and reveal something that you've been working hard to keep under wraps. Ill effects are very few, in fact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A certain endeavor is far more challenging than you had expected, but if you stick with it, you can learn an important lesson.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may attract the wrong kind of attention at first, but later you can be quite effective at changing people's minds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are many details to be sorted out, but you must start with an overall picture in your mind that is clearly in focus.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone who has been out of the picture for quite a while is likely to influence you in ways that you might never expect. Be ready.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are far more interested in organization than effectiveness, yet one leads to the other, as you well know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Nothing is carved in stone -- not yet, anyway. You'll have some room to maneuver as you try to sort out a quickly developing situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can do what you are asked -- and more. Once you start, you'll actually find it quite difficult to stop.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If you insist on keeping score, you're sure to be disappointed. There is more to consider than the tally at day's end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to tell a friend a piece of unpleasant news, but you know how to do it better than anyone else.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Let things develop in a way that is beneficial to as many people as possible. You don't want to impose an inappropriate agenda.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are surrounded by those who want to know what you know, but you may be reluctant to share everything.
