Your Birthday for May 28, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 28th, 2017

Born today, you are sure-footed, confident and bound to make the right choice if given enough time and information. You combine mental and physical agility, and the ability to stop on a dime and change direction almost instantly -- whether literally on the move or simply thinking about complex subjects. You are able to see far into the future to assess your chances in the present, and you never let what you see get you down. Even when facing incredible odds, you have a way of remaining positive, and of bringing all your best talents to bear on the problem or task before you. And those talents are surely numerous! You have been endowed with tremendous abilities, many interrelated, but some entirely singular, and you are able to tap into one or more of them at any given time, at will.

Energetic, cheerful and always on the go, you are sought out by others as someone who is enjoyable to be around, but there's more to your popularity than that! You can bring out the best in people, mentally, physically and emotionally, even when facing the most difficult situations. You are inspirational and always encouraging.

Also born on this date are: Phil Hartman, actor; 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, New York City mayor; Patch Adams, physician; Jesse Bradford, actor.

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.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The decisions you make are almost certain to affect those around you in ways you had not anticipated. Don't cut anyone loose just yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can do much to help someone steer clear of a self-made danger. This will require some follow-up time at a later date.

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.

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.
