Your Birthday for May 31, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 31st, 2017

Born today, you are known for a kind of quiet intensity that will surely become your trademark -- at least publicly. Privately, you are able to cut loose far more often because you are comfortable with the people around you. You never doubt that they will forgive you any excesses in which you may indulge! When it comes to work, you can never have enough of it; you are often to be found planning one, two or even more new projects before the current one has been completed. You are known for taking on far more responsibility than any one person would normally embrace, but you know how to do many things, and you are never more content than when you are exercising your numerous talents on a project of your own design.

You have a rather biting sense of humor, and not everyone knows how to take it when you put this aspect of your personality on display. Indeed, your wit is so subtle that it can be difficult for others to tell that you are joking at all! Fortunately, you do not require a great deal of approval from those around you. You know your strengths and weaknesses, and you are quite comfortable with them.

Also born on this date are: Chris Elliott, actor and comedian; Clint Eastwood, actor and filmmaker; Brooke Shields, model and actress; Colin Farrell, actor; Joe Namath, football player; Lea Thompson, actress; Corey Hart, singer; Walt Whitman, writer; Tom Berenger, actor; Sharon Gless, actress; Don Ameche, actor; Jim Hutton, actor; Norman Vincent Peale, author.

THURSDAY, JUNE 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll receive information that may not be in sync with what you thought you knew. The fact is, you simply weren't up to date.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to object to someone's methods, but not his or her motives. You can learn a thing or two about dedication.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can absorb things in a more comprehensive way. Don't let yourself be fooled by the seeming simplicity of a genuinely complex issue.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things are not always what they appear to be. As a result, you may have to make adjustments you didn't anticipate. Go with the flow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't want to be pulled off course by someone who is trying to stand between you and your destination. You must remain focused -- always!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be inspired by someone to do what you never would have thought of doing. Oddly enough, it will now seem like the only way forward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can correct your own errors very quickly -- provided you recognize them as errors in the first place. Be objective in your analysis.

Your Birthday | May 30th, 2017

Born today, you can navigate all manner of situations with relative ease, and you are quick to adjust to changing circumstances in order to minimize mental and physical stress. Indeed, you will do all you can to keep things progressing in a calm and peaceful manner, as personal and professional harmony are essential to your overall well-being. You don't have to be front and center all the time; you know that even when others are in the spotlight, your efforts will not go unnoticed. You are confident and capable, but never so competitive that you will let your relationships suffer. On the contrary, how you relate to those around you is perhaps the single most important aspect of your life.

You are drawn to events and developments that seem to spring from nowhere. You enjoy engaging in surprise endeavors for which it seems impossible to prepare. It is this adventurous, courageous spirit that will give you the edge in your professional life, as you are willing to do what many are not. You'll be rewarded for these efforts.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are gravitating toward you once more because they feel you have the solution to a mounting problem. Don't conceal it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may be time for you to sever ties with someone you simply have little in common with. This doesn't have to be traumatic!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may want to take advantage of the opportunity to re-examine the events of the day in a manner that allows you to judge them freely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others are likely to move in a direction that fills you with doubt and insecurity. There is no reason for you to follow them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have many questions, and they are not likely to lead you to the one answer you need most -- but they can point you in the right direction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not achieving the desired results. Perhaps you're in the right place at the wrong time -- or vice versa. Examine clear trends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to take advantage of time alone -- without making a big deal of it. You have much to think about and plans to make.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have more to offer than others may know, and you can prove it without stepping out of your comfort zone in any way.

Your Birthday for May 29, 2017

Your Birthday | May 29th, 2017

Born today, you are not always what you seem to be. Indeed, someone who first meets you may instantly be aware that you are a Gemini native, so clear-cut seems the dividing line between the two versions of you that are so prominently on display at different times. The most striking duality within your nature arises from two strong, competing forces: your generosity and your selfishness. You always have the good of others foremost in your mind, and you will work tirelessly to ensure that those around you have all that they deserve and more. At the same time, you will always ensure that you come out on top, and that your supremacy is never truly threatened by anyone else -- especially someone you have helped get where they are.

You are a highly passionate individual, and those passions are expressed in a variety of ways. You must learn to temper your feelings with thoughtfulness and consideration, lest you tumble into situations that are potentially dangerous. Head and heart must work closely together to keep you balanced at all times.

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; Mel B, singer; G.K. Chesterton, author; Al Unser, auto racer.

TUESDAY, MAY 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't let yourself become permanently isolated. It's fine to avoid company for a while today, but this should not become a habit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Group activities may sound like fun, but you are not about to be lured away from a pressing domestic situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The way you inspire yourself inspires others as well. You'll find yourself surrounded by many who wish to benefit in this manner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You needn't fear that which you know. It's what you don't know that can cause you problems, so face it head-on and learn all you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be struggling with a situation not of your creation. Perhaps you're making too big a deal out of it; try focusing elsewhere.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can see what others are doing very clearly, but this doesn't mean you must follow suit. In fact, mimicking others can be hazardous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know what a certain someone has to offer, but not what a third party will bring to the table. However, you can pick only one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can escape the rut you've sunk into, but you'll have to rely on someone who knows you better than you think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Issues of trust are likely to arise as someone confronts you with "proof" of wrongdoing that is not at all definitive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others may be doing something you were eager to try yourself at one point, but today you're not about to let yourself be tempted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What goes on behind closed doors must be protected at all costs; you cannot afford to let some things out of the bag.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A loved one is willing to go down a very different path with you -- but not yet. You will want to take the time to prepare fully.
