Your Birthday for May 06, 2017

Your Birthday | May 6th, 2017

Born today, you are a passionate and motivated individual, one for whom dedication is a way of life, and forward motion essential to your very survival, both personally and professionally. You are always on the move, making plans and putting them into play, involving others, gathering teams, winning over allies and supporters. You have what it takes to succeed in business, yet you would never be "just" a businessperson; your deep commitment to others prevents you from seeing things merely in terms of dollars and cents. You may get a slow start, and indeed you may change course a few times as you make your way, but eventually you're almost guaranteed to take the stage in a leading role, guiding projects, shaping hearts and minds, and really making a difference in the world.

Despite your ability to work so well with others, you can be rather private -- even timid -- at times. Your privacy is something you will always protect. Despite the fact that you share so much of yourself with the world around you, there are things you will always keep to yourself and reveal only to those closest to you.

Also born on this date are: George Clooney, actor and filmmaker; Tom Bergeron, television host; Sigmund Freud, psychoanalyst; Willie Mays, baseball player; Bob Seger, singer; Tony Blair, British prime minister; Gabourey Sidibe, actress; Orson Welles, actor and filmmaker; Robert E. Peary, explorer; Rudolph Valentino, actor; Stewart Granger, actor; John Flansburgh, singer-songwriter.

SUNDAY, MAY 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can provide a loved one with everything he or she needs -- and give a little more than that, too. Stay close to home.

Your Birthday for May 05, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 5th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most passionate and emotional individuals born under your sign, easily drawn into situations that could prove hazardous to you because of how they play on your emotions and set your head and heart working against each other. You find it challenging to weigh the dangers of what you encounter against the passions fueled by such circumstances, try as you might to balance these two key forces as they work on you simultaneously. You are quick to fall in love, though this is perhaps something you would not openly admit. You are both attractive and easily attracted to others, and you tend to follow your heart freely wherever it leads. You must learn to study the emotional landscape before you with greater care, and to weigh your options with a mind to responsibility and self-preservation!

You are an independent thinker, and you favor ideas that are controversial, groundbreaking, challenging and unusual -- even in the extreme. Your social and political views are no doubt quite polarizing! Other people either love what you have to say or hate it. Indeed, there is very little middle ground where you are concerned, in any context.

Also born on this date are: Chris Brown, singer; Adele, singer; Ann B. Davis, actress; Karl Marx, philosopher; Tammy Wynette, singer; Brian Williams, news anchor; John Rhys-Davies, actor; Tyrone Power, actor; Pat Carroll, actress; Michael Palin, actor and comedian; Alice Faye, actress; Nellie Bly, journalist; Tina Yothers, actress; Lance Henriksen, actor; James Beard, chef.

SATURDAY, MAY 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to discover that a situation you had credited to someone else is actually your doing -- and therefore only you can undo it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may receive news that isn't at all in line with your expectations, but you will come up with the perfect way to respond.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your work is likely to be harder than you anticipated, in a way that is not the norm. Enlist a friend to help you devise a plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are qualified for the duties that are likely to fall to you, but that says nothing about your willingness or attitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be sure to give yourself the rest you need in order to tackle a difficult project with energy and enthusiasm. Don't burn the candle at both ends!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- While trying to keep others calm and focused, you may snap temporarily. After you are back on track, you'll want to offer apologies.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may behave quite strangely in the wake of a development that no one was able to anticipate. What's really going on beneath the surface?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Others are likely to be drawn to you -- not because you are giving them what they want, but, oddly enough, because you are not!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Devising the best way to get from here to there and back again may take up a great deal of thought, energy and time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be called upon to come up with just the right idea at the right moment, without any preparation at all. You can do it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're going to want to be honest with a friend or loved one who comes to you with a problem, but that doesn't mean you can't help solve it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's only a matter of time before you stumble upon the solution to a conundrum you've been mulling over for some time. Is today the day?

Your Birthday for May 04, 2017

Your Birthday | May 4th, 2017

Born today, you never take success for granted, but at the same time you feel that you are certainly deserving of all the success that comes your way. This interesting attitude is born out of the confluence within your nature of confidence and uncertainty, which you have in almost equal measure. You are most happy when you are working in private on things that are private pleasures -- reading, writing, working in a garden, cooking, raising children, making family plans -- but you know how to maximize your enjoyment of the professional duties and endeavors that you accept are requirements in the modern world. While you always feel it is best to keep business and pleasure separate, you also strive to keep them carefully balanced at all times.

You have a great deal of personal magnetism. While you aren't the kind to seduce someone intentionally, your personality, style and natural charisma make it likely for people to fall in love with you in droves -- and often again and again! Some, of course, will be immune to your charms, but not many!

Also born on this date are: Audrey Hepburn, actress; Randy Travis, singer; Pia Zadora, entertainer; George Will, political commentator; Paul Gleason, actor; Will Arnett, actor; Ana Gasteyer, actress; Lance Bass, singer; Keith Haring, artist; Robin Cook, author; Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian leader; Horace Mann, politician; Bartolomeo Cristofori, piano inventor.

FRIDAY, MAY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Review what has been done, and you'll come to a quick conclusion about what is left to do and who should do it. (Not you!)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just when you think you've reached a stopping point, you're likely to come across a job left undone. It won't take long to complete.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's time to consider another's needs ahead of your own. You can correct an error that you both made quite some time ago.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Opinions are likely to differ, of course, but you are confident that you can get further than you had originally planned.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A competition between you and a friendly rival may heat up considerably. Nevertheless, you can do much to ensure that things stay friendly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're in no mood to do anything over again or retrace a path from yesterday. If it's not new, it's not for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A new idea will spring to the fore. No matter where it originated, you're likely to be the one to bring it to fruition by day's end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Not much is likely to happen according to plan, but you can come out ahead simply by keeping your ear to the ground and improvising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your ability to keep the quality high will give others the flexibility to experiment without risking their reputations at all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone is working hard to turn your ideas into reality. You don't want to make the mistake of thinking it's easier to do than it is!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time to charge ahead and get certain things done regardless of your discomfort -- or anyone else's, for that matter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must approach a certain developing situation with the seriousness it deserves, lest you send the wrong signals to teammates.
