Your Birthday for May 27, 2017

Your Birthday | May 27th, 2017

Born today, you don't always follow the rules, subscribe to anyone else's definition of "proper," or eschew that which is avoided by others. Indeed, you're likely to go quite the opposite way in most things: bending the rules or simply making them up for yourself as you go along, engaging in behavior that is widely considered unconventional or improper, and jumping into situations others normally give a very wide berth. You are eager to assert yourself, not just because of the pride it affords you, but because of the attention it attracts -- and you do love to attract attention! You will go out of your way to make sure that all eyes are on you, though later in life there may be times when being in the spotlight actually becomes rather tiresome.

You are quick to fall in love, as your passions are quite near the surface and you never feel the need to hide them from those around you. You are just as quick to fall right back out of love again -- and others will do the same with you, again and again. The path to true love may well be a rocky one for you.

Also born on this date are: Christopher Lee, actor; Louis Gossett Jr., actor; Todd Bridges, actor; Vincent Price, actor; Henry Kissinger, politician; Wild Bill Hickock, gunfighter and entertainer; Isadora Duncan, dancer; Paul Bettany, actor; Joseph Fiennes, actor; Hubert Humphrey, politician; Lisa Lopes, rapper; Jamie Oliver, chef; Adam Carolla, media personality; Peri Gilpin, actress; Bruce Weitz, actor; Sam Snead, golfer.

SUNDAY, MAY 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to step in and stop a loved one from doing something that you know will be harmful in some way -- sooner or later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're after something you think is better than what you already have, but if you look more closely, you'll see just how well-off you truly are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are eager to understand someone's motives, but you mustn't go so far as to intrude or pry. Circumstantial evidence can tell you much.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone else is trying to hold you back in some way, but you have no intention of lying down or being passive. Give necessary warnings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look closely at the issues that affect you most directly. You are likely to discover that not everything is as you thought it was.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Focus your comments, and don't just share opinions in a broad or random manner. A certain few people must hear what you have to say.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It should be easy for you to find what you want, provided you know what it is you are looking for! Help may be offered in the nick of time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll receive news that makes you think a previous decision was perhaps incorrect. Further damage can be avoided.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Trust hangs in the balance, and your actions will affect a certain friendship for some time to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Every step you take must be connected to a strategy that has been carefully devised to give you what you want in the long run.

Your Birthday for May 26, 2017

Your Birthday | May 26th, 2017

Born today, you are never afraid to take on positions of some authority, but you have a unique way of wielding that authority. You're never the kind to lord it over others when you have been placed at the top by endowment, accomplishment or sheer luck. You always keep in mind the needs and feelings of those around you, and whenever you can, you will reach out to help those who are less fortunate than yourself. You are understanding, tolerant and willing to give others their say. This isn't to suggest that you have no strong opinions of your own, or that you are unwilling or unable to speak your mind. On the contrary, your ability to express yourself clearly is perhaps unmatched by anyone else born under your sign!

You are confident and capable, but you never let yourself become cocky, and you do not take success for granted. You work hard for your gains, and you do not expect things to be granted to you gratis. You know that you will have to pay for what you get -- in cash or in labor -- and when it comes to good old-fashioned hard work, you can be tireless.

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

SATURDAY, MAY 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Any serious threats you encounter can be deflected, but you're going to have to trust someone who is new to your circle of friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Convincing someone that your approach is the right one will not be easy, as both parties have a great deal of experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're expecting to do certain things, but when all is said and done, you may find that you've actually done few or none of them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to attract some critical attention for doing something in a highly unconventional manner. Many will support you, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be surprised to learn that what you thought was a brand-new accomplishment has actually been done before by others. For you, it's new!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have every reason to think that a loved one has had a change of heart, but you are likely to find that it simply isn't so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll have many people to thank as the day comes to a close, for they will have been instrumental in getting you off and on your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You've reached the halfway point, and now it's time to stop and take stock of what's left in terms of personal inspiration and tools.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is no time to keep your feelings to yourself. Share them with the right person, and you'll be surprised to learn what can happen!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What began as purely a business proposition is likely to turn highly personal before the day is out. Much is on the line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find it necessary to compromise on a point that you always assumed was something on which you would never give ground.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will have to protect yourself from those who have little respect for personal boundaries of any kind. Avoid unnecessary interactions.

Your Birthday for May 25, 2017

Your Birthday | May 25th, 2017

Born today, you are likely to see your life, when all is said and done, as two very distinct phases separated by a moment of dramatic change that is both internal and external. In a very real sense, this event transformed you from one kind of person into another. It is not the case that either of these versions of you is better than the other; rather, the significance is in what you make of each -- and what you contribute to the world as a result. Looking back on your life, you are almost certain to find more value in the later chapter -- but there are some who will surely differ, finding the greater glory in what went before. Will there ever be any consensus on this issue? It is doubtful -- we're talking about human beings, after all! In any event, both the early and the recent you are quite colorful, vibrant and memorable.

One constant in your life is the one or two close friendships that you are careful to maintain through the years, regardless of any personal transformations you may go through. You will rely on these special individuals, and they upon you, through thick and thin, and no other relationship is likely to be more important to you.

Also born on this date are: Mike Myers, actor; Sir Ian McKellen, actor; Frank Oz, voice actor and filmmaker; Anne Heche, actress; Cillian Murphy, actor; Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and philosopher; Dixie Carter, actress; Leslie Uggams, actress; Karen Valentine, actress; Connie Sellecca, actress; Claude Akins, actor; Robert Ludlum, author.

FRIDAY, MAY 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to finish a task before someone comes to you asking a favor. Once they do, you'll have no time for yourself for a while.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can get a great deal done quite early, but if you don't, you can rearrange your priorities and do things in a different order.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your desires may collide with those of a friend or loved one. The result will be a conflict that a third party will have to resolve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not see exactly where a certain developing situation is likely to lead, but you know it's not somewhere you should be going!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be disappointed by what happens early on, but later you should be able to reverse things and win the day for yourself and others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've been asked to do a favor that you may not feel good about, but you cannot determine whether your objection is purely a moral one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to pay off a certain non-monetary debt before the day is out so that it will no longer be hanging over you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know better than anyone how to get from here to there -- but what may prove difficult is the timing. When should you start?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to avoid a tricky situation. Even if you do not, you can surely resolve it before too long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An older, time-honored method is likely to work much better than any new-fangled tactic. Put your trust in what you know!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Even if someone doesn't do something the way you do, the two of you can still enjoy some downtime together. Try it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A loved one will come to you with a proposal that may have you thinking things are taking a rather dramatic turn. Indeed, they may be!
