Your Birthday for May 04, 2019

Your Birthday | May 4th, 2019

Born today, you have many capabilities, many talents, many skills, and many interests, and as soon as someone tries to pigeonhole you, you will no doubt do something that highlights the shortsightedness of that person's summation of you. The truth is, you are far more than the sum of your parts, but then, who isn't? You are stylish, graceful, easygoing, well-spoken and charming; you can also be very comfortable going abroad in your pajamas and slippers, without a care for how you look -- though your overall grace and charm will certainly be on display always. You enjoy recreation of all kinds, but you can invest yourself fully in work, and you aren't the kind to shortchange yourself because you are not willing to see something through to the end. You will always finish a job.

You are what many would call an old soul, one of those individuals who seems to know how the world works. Indeed, it may seem to some that you are plugged in to the world in a way that others are not -- and if they think it, then it must be so. You are certainly wise beyond your years.

Also born on this date are: Audrey Hepburn, actress; Randy Travis, singer; Pia Zadora, entertainer; George Will, author and commentator; Paul Gleason, actor.

SUNDAY, MAY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may perceive that someone is trying to send you a hidden message. Now is no time to play games; insist on clear communication.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself vacillating between what you know and what you don't all day long. Official information is only so helpful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- How you say something is just as important as what you say, and to some, more so. Be sure that your presentation is all you want it to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself slipping into an old habit today. There's no real reason to do so when so many other options are available to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you reveal can set you back today if you are not careful; be sure that you are letting others know only what they need to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be disappointed with a new purchase or other acquisition. Take the time to research how you will avoid a recurrence in the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know what you want, but it may not be available to you right now. You'll have to be satisfied with something else and adjust your behavior.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may take much persuasion, but you can talk someone into doing something for you that has been off the table so far.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are moving in the right direction, and a friend or partner is making things interesting by following along. Why not work together?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may encounter something quite rare and perhaps very valuable today. What you do with it can affect what happens to you tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may become entangled in an affair that is really not for you. Do what you can to extricate yourself -- and quickly too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone or something is keeping you from reaching your full potential -- or is it that you are trying to do something you shouldn't do?

Your Birthday for May 03, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 3rd, 2019

Born today, you are one of the most adventurous individuals born under your sign, and you love nothing so much as packing it all in and heading off by yourself or with a friend or loved one to experience something new. The untried holds you in such thrall that there may be times when you actually endanger yourself by doing a new thing without taking enough time in advance to consider all the possible outcomes. You are not at all interested in following in the footsteps of others -- except, perhaps, one or two mentors who will prove instrumental in helping you develop your taste for adventure and your ability to take what comes in stride.

You seem, at the same time, to be quite conventional -- and that is a common theme among Taurus natives. Your strength, character and unique qualities may actually remain hidden from view -- except from those few who can claim to know you best and with whom you choose to share a great many aspects of your life. These people know you to be quite rare, indeed.

Also born on this date are: Dule Hill, actor; Bing Crosby, actor and singer; Frankie Valli, singer; Pete Seeger, singer and songwriter; Sugar Ray Robinson, boxer; Christina Hendricks, actress; Golda Meir, Israeli leader.

SATURDAY, MAY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- See what you can learn from what others have done before you. Traditional methods may be best for you right now. Are you a third wheel?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Somebody somewhere is working on a big surprise, and you want to be part of it. You don't want to be the one who is being surprised.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to fulfill certain requirements today before you are able to move freely about and do the things you really want to do.

CANCER (June 20-July 22) -- You must balance necessity with desire today; what you must do and what you want to do can come together in a way that gives you much enjoyment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Anticipation allows you to stay a step ahead of the game today, but it can also prove challenging, as you are compelled to face certain fears.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are pursuing something that is quite important to you. Someone may get in the way temporarily, forcing you to maneuver very carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Pay attention to all the signs and markers you come upon today, as they will give you subtle hints about what is coming next for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find something quite enjoyable today that you had feared would put you in a very bad mood. Why were you expecting only negatives?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your opinions are worth more at a certain time today; you will want to wait until the time is just right to share them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you have in hand can prove quite valuable to you. Don't let it go, and don't make the mistake of thinking it must be augmented.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A task that you expected to struggle with today proves to be something of a breeze -- but only if you have done all you can to prepare for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be thinking that you can ignore something until you are ready to face it directly, but that's not the case. Tend to it now.

Your Birthday for May 02, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 2nd, 2019

Born today, you are rather unassuming in your personal life, alone at home with your own private interests and your family and friends. Indeed, there often seems to be nothing to set you apart at all from the crowd. Once you walk through that door, however, everything changes, and you become a charismatic, magnetic, forceful, influential and charming individual who can mix and mingle with any and all types. You may, by some, be mistaken for a Gemini native, so distinct are these two seemingly separate sides of your nature, but the truth is they are very much a single part of you, joined by a self-awareness and a desire to do what is right and make the lives of those around you better.

You are not likely to have just one career. You are interested in so many things, and your likes and dislikes are at the same time so strong and so changeable that it is virtually impossible for you to commit to any one line of endeavor for an indefinite length of time.

Also born on this date are: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, wrestler and actor; David Beckham, soccer player; Engelbert Humperdinck, singer; Christine Baranski, actress; Manfred von Richthofen, World War I flying ace; Theodore Bikel, actor.

FRIDAY, MAY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to encounter someone who is not able to do what he or she promises, so be on your guard. This charlatan is not to be indulged.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've been endowed with much that you can make good use of today, but someone may still stand between you and your heart's desire.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must follow certain steps today if you're going to have what you want and need by day's end. Now is not the time for improvisation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- While Gemini natives are bound to do what must be done -- and in certain ways -- you may well feel free today to do things any way you see fit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't let yourself be distracted today, even though there are those who are engaged in activities that you dearly love. Concentrate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're waiting for the end -- or the beginning -- and today you'll see just what waits for you around the corner. Messages received are mixed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to receive glowing reviews for a performance you've long wanted to give, but someone may yet prove highly critical of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are ready to promote your own agenda in new ways. Someone close to you inspires you to try something you'd never before have tried.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There's no time like the present, especially when it comes to taking care of business that you don't think you'll really enjoy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must remain steady, solid and down to earth today, even while those around you are heaping praise upon you. You know the real you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take care that you don't let someone get the better of you by playing to a certain weakness. You must remain strong in all you do and say.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are feeling closer to someone today who, in the past, has kept him- or herself at a safe distance for a very good reason. Talk openly.
