Your Birthday | May 24th, 2017

Born today, you are not at all concerned about the image you project or the opinions others may form about you. You are independent to a fault, believing that anything others may think about you is more a reflection of them than it is of you. You therefore walk through life free of the burden of satisfying any notions or expectations that the world around you may have. This is a tremendous source of strength and freedom, and you are able to do what you do without wondering for a moment if it is right or proper. You feel compelled to engage in activities that are good for the world at large; these provide you with personal contentment and professional satisfaction. Just as you are deaf to critics, you are likely to reserve judgment of others.

You do not let your emotions dictate your actions, yet your emotions often fuel the work that you do, charging it with a certain drive and energy that you would otherwise not be able to muster. You know how to balance practicality and idealism better than most. To you, the way things are and the way they should be are always in flux.

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; H.B. Reese, candymaker.

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.

THURSDAY, MAY 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Though you will surely take sole responsibility for your actions, you may want to let others know what you're planning ahead of time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may end up being punished by someone who won't let bygones be bygones. You can find a way to turn this to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel as though you've been backed into a corner, but there is a way out that you haven't found yet. Keep looking!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have grown tired of the same old thing, but you cannot get away from it until you do something that you don't want to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are more able than most to see the silver lining in the cloud hovering above you, but that doesn't mean you know how to reveal it to others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be grasping at straws throughout much of the day. One of them is bound to pay off eventually -- though not as you may expect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Things are changing quickly all around you, and you must be ready to make a decision just as quickly when the time comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're likely to be in rare form as you present yourself and your ideas to one who is in a position to give you a head start.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more you do for others, the more you will be doing for yourself -- and it surely doesn't work the other way around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may only see a fragment of what stretches out before you, but this will give you a good idea of what to do when given the chance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're in no mood for crowds. Rather than face what you know will rub you the wrong way, why not invite a loved one on a secret outing?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good time for examining your motives more closely. You can discover something about yourself that will get you fired up.

Your Birthday for May 23, 2017

Your Birthday | May 23rd, 2017

Born today, you are sometimes your own worst enemy, in that you expect more from yourself than you can possibly give. You have trouble accepting the fact that you are limited as all human beings are limited. The result is that when you fall short, you can be thrust into a bottomless pit of frustration and despair, certain that you will never be able to accomplish anything ever again, and that even your best successes from the past are no more than accidents. This is absolutely untrue in every possible way, for you are one of the most capable individuals born under your sign, and your record of accomplishment throughout your lifetime is sure to be quite remarkable. You must learn to avoid being haunted by your shortcomings, and by the inability to do the impossible!

You fall in love very quickly, but you don't always share your feelings with the object of your affection -- resulting, yet again, in a kind of frustration and self-doubt that no one should have to endure. When you do share your feelings, the result is almost always exactly what you were hoping for -- so why not do it more readily?

Also born on this date are: Drew Carey, actor and television host; Kelly Monaco, actress; Joan Collins, actress; Rosemary Clooney, singer and actress; Douglas Fairbanks Sr., actor; Scatman Crothers, singer and actor; Artie Shaw, bandleader; Ambrose Burnside, military leader; Robert Moog, inventor; Jewel, singer-songwriter; Lea DeLaria, actress.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good day to put another's needs first, but that doesn't mean you won't be getting something out of the situation that arises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is room for you to be a little more thoughtful, and this can surely help in both personal and professional situations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's no need to bring something up again after someone else has apologized for the trouble it caused. Let him or her off the hook!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to deal with someone on a more official level in order to reinstate your rank in the scheme of things. Changes have been sudden.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have a particular style of work that others find quite interesting. Take care that you don't leave yourself open to unnecessary criticism.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A minor incident will threaten to drive a wedge between you and a friend. You can be the first to suggest you both overlook what happened.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know what you want and where you want to be, but you still have no idea how to get it or what road to take. Study what others are doing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can take part in your own affairs in a more involved manner. It's not that you don't trust your teammates; you simply want more to do!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Be sure that you maintain a healthy perspective, and you'll be able to get over something quickly instead of letting it last for days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can come to the rescue of someone who doesn't know he or she needs saving -- but you've been keeping your eyes and ears open.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Timing isn't the most important thing; it's the only thing! You don't want to be the one to set things off in the wrong direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others will study your work for any sign of carelessness or other weakness, but they're not likely to find anything at this time.

Your Birthday | May 22nd, 2017

Born today, you are always the one others can count on to put your best foot forward in virtually any situation, for you simply don't know how to slack off or do less than is required of you -- at work, at play, in social situations, in times of fun or trouble. Indeed, you are perhaps at your best when things are not going precisely your way, for your sixth sense kicks in and enables you to anticipate developments in such a way that you all but eliminate the negative while bringing the positive to the fore. You are adept at maneuvering and negotiating; you don't have to have everything just so, which means you can latch onto a compromise when you spy one. You will work tirelessly to see not only that you come out ahead, but that those across the table from you do as well.

You don't always will yourself into the most important situations in your life. Rather, you sometimes find yourself stumbling into things, not quite reluctantly, but surely without great enthusiasm. It's when your enthusiasm builds that you really begin to shine -- and your deep-seated passions are awakened.

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 filmmaker; Johnny Gill, singer; Bernie Taupin, lyricist; Mary Cassatt, artist; Paul Winfield, actor; Richard Benjamin, actor; Michael Constantine, actor.

TUESDAY, MAY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Breaking events will give you reason to think that not all has been going as planned over the past several days -- or even weeks. Look closely!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may be time for you to sever ties with someone who is on a completely different wavelength. This could be only a business adjustment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone you trust has a good deal to say about a current piece of work. Just remember it's not finished until everyone agrees it is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to disqualify yourself from something you were looking forward to, because you forgot to take one small official step.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Friends and relatives are all concerned about the same sudden event. You can put them at ease by demonstrating your comfort with new circumstances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be working more slowly than usual, but there's nothing wrong with going back and checking that no errors have been made.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will have a hard time concealing your mood from those who know you. Fortunately, they understand the cause this time around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to wait longer than usual for a message telling you that the coast is clear. Once it's in your hand, get moving!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Issues of strategy and tactics will vie for your attention. You must be willing to consider an option that no one else has.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may want help, but you don't need it -- and that's significant. You're able to stand on your own two feet as never before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something will happen that requires a response from you as soon as possible -- but be sure your response is proportional, by all means!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can do someone a favor by steering clear of his or her business. You will be invited back into the fold soon enough.
