Your Birthday for May 28, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 28th, 2016

Born today, you are willing to go through all manner of hardship and discomfort to get where you are going and reach your goals. Unlike many others, you never make the mistake of thinking that you are entitled to anything. Rather, you understand that everything worthwhile in life will come to you because it is earned. For this reason, you are willing to work long and hard to get what you want. Indeed, you don't even enjoy most things that are handed to you on a silver platter; for you, enjoyment comes from getting what you have set your sights on and decided to pursue. When it comes to gifts, in fact, you would much rather give than receive, more often than not.

You have an adventurous spirit, and you're willing to try many things that others would shy away from in daily life. You're even willing to do things you know you will not like -- or ever do again -- simply for the sake of the experience. You like walking in others' shoes now and then.

Also born on this date are: Kylie Minogue, singer; Gladys Knight, singer; Michael Oher, football player; Colbie Caillat, singer; John Fogerty, singer; Ian Fleming, author; Jim Thorpe, football player; Carey Mulligan, actress; Justin Kirk, actor; Phil Vassar, singer; Ekaterina Gordeeva, Olympic figure skater; Rudy Giuliani, politician.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's important for you to work closely with others, whether you want to or not. You need them, just as they need you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Today is the day to show off certain skills that you do not often reveal. Nothing should be holding you back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do not expect things to transpire in the usual way; nor should you expect to feel the usual things as you proceed through the day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to investigate further after receiving word from the authorities about a recent event. You're not getting the whole story.

Your Birthday for May 27, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 27th, 2016

Born today, you often seem to have a rather imposing, dour demeanor, but that's only one side of your very complex personality. True, you enjoy projecting that intimidating side at times, almost for fun, to see what others will say or do when they encounter that version of you. But the truth is that you are rather reserved and very sensitive, with an outlook that allows you to be positive about almost everything that happens in life. That you can laugh at the world around you -- long and hard -- is something that not everyone knows about you, perhaps because you are usually alone when you let loose in this way. Among other people, you tend to be far more controlled.

You take things very seriously because you understand that the world is a serious place, but you almost always have a twinkle in your eye born of a special perspective that is bright, open, accepting and tolerant. Variety, to you, is very much the spice of life.

Also born on this date are: Christopher Lee, actor; Louis Gossett Jr., actor; Todd Bridges, actor; Vincent Price, actor; Henry Kissinger, diplomat; Wild Bill Hickock, law enforcement officer; Isadora Duncan, dancer; Paul Bettany, actor; Joseph Fiennes, actor; Hubert H. Humphrey, politician; Sam Snead, golfer.

SATURDAY, MAY 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If at first you don't succeed, a second try will surely come off much better. You'll learn more with each successive attempt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Things may have been rough over the past few days, but now you can enjoy your life in a more relaxed, lighthearted manner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be tempted to put all your eggs in one basket in order to maximize potential rewards, but this is not the wise choice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're giving someone the experience of a lifetime by sharing what you know in a way that is completely fresh and new. It will be remembered.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may enjoy a bit of downtime between two enormous efforts. Each can provide great rewards if you have what it takes to follow through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're concerned that environmental influences may conspire against you, but you should enjoy smooth sailing for much of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are at cross-purposes with someone who, if you take him or her into your confidence, can actually do you a great deal of good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be unusually fickle and difficult, but that's no way to get what you want. You must be willing to compromise when necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone else's generosity will be felt throughout the day. He or she is supporting you in ways that cannot always be seen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Doing too much will certainly sap your strength, but you're going to need all of it as you come upon a formidable obstacle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're counting down to the time when you will enjoy more personal freedom than you have in recent memory. It won't be long now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to change your mind about someone who has rubbed you the wrong way in the past. He or she can prove to be a trusted partner.

Your Birthday for May 26, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 26th, 2016

Born today, you eagerly cope with life's ups and downs, knowing full well that the less pleasant parts of any day make the better parts that much better. You have a healthy grasp of reality, but you are also able to fantasize vividly about the way things could be, should be and will be -- someday. You tend to be rather quiet and unwilling to share your personal feelings and beliefs unless there is a very good reason to do so. Indeed, you derive a great deal of strength and contentment from guarding your privacy and ensuring that your life is your own. You can be quite imposing, yet you are sensitive and refined; you can be rather imperious, yet you are perfectly willing to let others take the reins.

What happens every day is the stuff of a rich and varied life, as far as you are concerned. You enjoy the little things and can immerse yourself in routine just as much as in the extraordinary and singular. You never want a day to go by without taking notice of the world around you.

Also born on this date are: John Wayne, actor; Lenny Kravitz, musician and actor; Helena Bonham Carter, actress; Stevie Nicks, singer; Miles Davis, composer; Sally Ride, astronaut; Jay Silverheels, actor; James Arness, actor; Hank Williams Jr., singer; Pam Grier, actress; Al Jolson, actor and entertainer; Peter Cushing, actor; Genie Francis, actress; Brent Musburger, sportscaster; Bobcat Goldthwait, comedian; Robert Morley, actor; Jack Kevorkian, doctor; Matt Stone, writer, producer, actor and composer.

FRIDAY, MAY 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are able to get more done than you had anticipated, but that doesn't mean you'll be in a position that allows you to slack off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know how much you are asking of those around you. When the time comes, you'll want to show your gratitude in a special way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've got a little more in you, so why not give it that one last little bit of effort before taking a rest and moving on to something else?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't let yourself be fooled by someone who is simply trying to slow you down so he or she can move ahead of you -- perhaps for good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your unwillingness to give in for whatever reason is actually doing you more harm than good at this time. You must be more flexible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Something that seems too good to be true is worth a second close look. It may well be just as good as it appears!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know just what you want, but the way to get it may be fraught with danger. Still, you're feeling confident and capable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll find that others are willing to make personal sacrifices in order to achieve the impossible with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Start from the bottom and work your way up, and you'll find that your to-do list is really not at all that daunting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to approach a current problem from a completely new angle. That way, you can learn as much as possible as you work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're tempted to take someone up on an offer that seemed to come at an unusual time. Use caution! It's not what it appears to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be asked to back up your actions with reasons that make sense not only to you, but to the observer as well. Be prepared.
