Your Birthday for May 22, 2016

Your Birthday | May 22nd, 2016

Born today, you do things in your own way, according to your own view of the world, and that view isn't likely to be shared by many others, if anyone at all. You seem to think that you were born with special gifts and the ability to do virtually anything, no matter how difficult or far-fetched -- and therefore, simply because you believe it, it is very likely so! You are no stranger to difficulty, but you never let hardships of any kind get the better of you. You remain on top of your game even when the odds are against you, applying your considerable creativity to problems of all kinds and coming up with unique and effective solutions, time and time again.

You are able to do what you do by the sheer force of your personality. Even when you do something that might attract a great deal of criticism or inspire vocal disagreement, almost everyone has to concede that the way you do what you do is remarkable -- and completely unique to you. You are a rare specimen, indeed.

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, civil rights leader; Richard Wagner, composer; Sir Laurence Olivier, actor and director; Mary Cassatt, artist; Paul Winfield, actor; Richard Benjamin, actor; Michael Constantine, actor.

MONDAY, MAY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Doing a good turn for someone else can actually benefit you, as well -- as long as you're not after instant gratification, that is!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have to look carefully to spot the signs that are most important to you. Don't act prematurely; acquire all pertinent info.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seek, and ye shall find -- but the journey is likely to take you in one or two very surprising directions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're very pleased with the way things are going in the main, but the behavior of another may be a portent of something odd that is brewing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Time may seem to pass more slowly than usual, but only because your personal rhythm is slower than usual, too. Things will pick up soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You aren't in the mood to pay much attention to the finer points of style and fashion. You want to get to the heart of things -- now!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone important to you may keep you waiting for a time. You can use that time well and perhaps wrest the advantage from a rival.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your safety, and the safety of those around you, may become a primary issue -- but not because you've been remiss in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't lord it over someone who is making beginner's mistakes. In little time, he or she may actually challenge you for dominance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Just when you hit your stride, you may have to stop what you are doing because certain resources are running low. Restock quickly!

Your Birthday for May 21, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 21st, 2016

Born today, you are determined to make your dreams come true, eventually. This means, of course, that you are never going to let up in your efforts to make the most out of your opportunities; indeed, you will continue to seek and to strive until you have reached your goals and made of your life all you imagine it can be. That imagination is quite vivid, in fact, and while others may be limited by the boundaries of reality and the possible, you give no thought to such restrictions. You will make something happen, come hell or high water, as long as you think it will bring you contentment. Can you do the impossible and work miracles? You can if you say you can!

When it comes to personal affairs, you can be notoriously tight-lipped and private; what goes on behind closed doors will stay behind closed doors if you have anything to say about it. Occasionally, however, some secret might get out -- and woe to anyone responsible for letting the cat out of the bag!

Also born on this date are: Notorious B.I.G., rapper; Mr. T, actor; Raymond Burr, actor; Fats Waller, musician; Lisa Edelstein, actress; Leo Sayer, singer; Al Franken, comedian and politician; Henri Rousseau, artist; Bobby Cox, baseball manager; Harold Robbins, author; Peggy Cass, actress and singer; Alexander Pope, poet.

SUNDAY, MAY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to discover something that begins to unravel a web of deception that has been woven by a rival or competitor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may fascinate someone who is keeping him- or herself at a distance for the time being. That fascination may well be mutual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The time you are looking for may not be available, at least not at the most opportune moments. You're going to have to improvise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're going to have to examine a certain issue more closely than ever before. Be prepared to uncover some harsh facts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be aware that your words can be overheard and may be misinterpreted. Take care that only the right message is delivered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your service to others has not gone unnoticed. Someone who benefited from your actions in the past may choose to return the favor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to come up with a brand-new way to do something routine that renews almost everyone's interest in the endeavor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- One of the decisions you make is likely to affect those closest to you for quite some time. Regard all circumstances with care.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Giving yourself more time to deal with your responsibilities is a luxury you cannot afford. You must be as efficient as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Though others may be charging ahead without a care, you have a sense that certain dangers lie ahead. You may be proved correct.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are not in the mood to share certain things; your reasons are your own, and needn't be offered unless an official request is made.

Your Birthday for May 20, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 20th, 2016

Born today, you are likely to enjoy a long and lucrative career, but yours is not likely to be a conventional path, by any means. Indeed, you have what could almost be called an aversion to doing things in the normal way, so strong are your personality and will. You will do what you feel compelled to do, no matter what may happen as a result, and you will therefore need to become adept at dealing with the fallout from your actions. You have a strong, colorful personality, and you enjoy riding the tiger whenever the opportunity presents itself. You are often heedless of personal danger.

You are quite creative, both in how you think and what you do. You are determined to express yourself freely, and you will apply that determination to everything you do. When it comes to love, you believe in an all-or-nothing approach; you are very much at the mercy of your romantic leanings. You love to be in love!

Also born on this date are: Cher, singer and actress; Busta Rhymes, rapper; James Stewart, actor; Joe Cocker, singer; Tony Goldwyn, actor; Timothy Olyphant, actor; Mindy Cohn, actress; George Gobel, comedian; Ted Allen, television personality; Dolley Madison, U.S. first lady; David Wells, baseball player; Anthony Zerbe, actor.

SATURDAY, MAY 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- News comes to you through irregular channels. Because of the time it took to reach you, your efforts may have to accelerate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're finding yourself attracted to someone who, at any other time, would likely rub you the wrong way. You have a decision to make.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are confident that what comes your way can be handled, regardless of any preparation you might -- or might not -- have done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A certain episode from your past may uncover something about your nature that you didn't know before -- if you're willing to look at it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be feeling as though no one is on the same page as you. In fact, you have more supporters right now than you know what to do with!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be taking advantage of an underling without even knowing it. Do what you can to even the playing field for all concerned.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that your confidence doesn't come across as cockiness. It may be that you need to dampen your high spirits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have something very real to be proud of, but someone else may be trying to steal your thunder. Guard against usurpation!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not know how to interpret a warning that comes your way from out of the blue, but routine safety measures should be enough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A personal victory may be at hand, but something you say or do could delay it for a while. This is something to bear patiently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The goal you have set for yourself isn't entirely realistic. With the help of a friend, you can realize this before it's too late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know just what is needed and just how to acquire it, but the first thing to do is convince others that you are correct.
