Your Birthday for May 30, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 30th, 2016

Born today, you are a strong, forceful individual with a great deal of inner fortitude that allows you to face almost any challenge or obstacle with confidence and resolve. Even when you are not sure what you will do to solve a problem or get around anything that stands in your way, you never seem to succumb to the kinds of insecurity or doubt that may strike others in similar situations. Indeed, you often think that you can do anything -- and there are times when others may think this of you as well! The truth is that your success is the result of both character and luck -- for even you have to admit that many times in your life you will have timing and the confluence of random events to thank for what happens to you. What sets you apart, of course, is your ability to take advantage of that good fortune when it happens.

Your loyalty is well known; when someone wins your friendship, you will have his or her back until the bitter end. You're not the kind to let go of something simply because something else may be easier or more convenient; you will always go the distance and live up to a personal pledge of any kind.

Also born on this date are: Idina Menzel, singer and actress; Mel Blanc, voice actor; Wynonna Judd, singer; Benny Goodman, bandleader; Gale Sayers, football player; Manny Ramirez, baseball player; Ted McGinley, actor; Keir Dullea, actor; Colm Meaney, actor.

TUESDAY, MAY 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's never too late to admit that you're wrong if it is an honest admission, but don't take responsibility for anything you didn't do!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The last few minutes you spend on a crucial project may prove the most satisfying of the day. You know what you've accomplished.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to jump through some hoops to prove that you are who you say you are and you can do what you say you can do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good day to give someone else the lead, but you must follow closely to be sure that nothing happens that shouldn't happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're facing a few choices that are more difficult to make than you had anticipated. The cause is nothing to worry much about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have difficulty matching expectation with reality. This is a result of a recent shift in your thinking. Mysteries abound.

Your Birthday for May 29, 2016

Your Birthday | May 29th, 2016

Born today, you are one of the most energetic and inspired individuals born under your sign. From your earliest years, it has been clear to others that there is something special about you, and that you may in fact have a destiny to fulfill in life. You are not always as determined as you might be, but because you do things in such a spirited way, you're likely to succeed even when you dedicate yourself only partially to the endeavor. In school, you may be a rather unengaged student, but your grades are likely high anyway. Such things just come easily to you -- and you do have a curious, intellectual, academic nature. You like to study things and learn all you can about the world around you and the people in it.

You have a great deal of sex appeal, and that means you must take care not to break hearts as you fulfill your own romantic yearnings. Once you find that special someone with whom you can share your life completely, you may still find it difficult to take yourself off the market!

Also born on this date are: John F. Kennedy, U.S. president; Daniel Tosh, comedian; La Toya Jackson, singer; Bob Hope, actor and comedian; Patrick Henry, politician; Annette Bening, actress; Danny Elfman, composer; Anthony Geary, actor; Melissa Etheridge, singer-songwriter; Ted Levine, actor; Rupert Everett, actor; G.K. Chesterton, author; Al Unser, auto racer.

Your Birthday for May 28, 2016

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.

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.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There's a certain pattern to your day that will help you if you are able to pick it out early enough. Don't try to force anything!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to pay a high price anytime you ignore the obvious -- and that will happen more than you might expect!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must pay attention to those around you who are sharing information about current events. You'll be in the thick of things very soon.
