Your Birthday for May 27, 2019

Your Birthday | May 27th, 2019

Born today, you are an upstanding and respected individual, but that is not to be confused with "popular" or "nice." In fact, there are times when you may be roundly disliked by others because of your behavior, which can border on the abrupt, inappropriate or even rude. The truth, however, is that you never set out to upset anyone or treat people with anything but your own brand of care and kindness, but it's not a brand that others easily recognize. You can come across as rather cold and aloof, even when you are fully engaged with others and giving them all the care and concern you can muster. Perhaps it is the way you carry yourself that has other people.

You can be quite emotional when it comes to the things you care most about, and that includes a few hobbies you take very seriously. Though you are likely to have quite a lucrative job that affords you long-term success, you're far more interested in those few avocational activities that truly feed your soul.

Also born on this date are: Christopher Lee, actor; Louis Gossett Jr., actor; Cilla Black, actress; Todd Bridges, actor; Vincent Price, actor; Cynthia McFadden, journalist; Henry Kissinger, statesman; Wild Bill Hickock, Old West lawman; Paul Bettany, actor.

TUESDAY, MAY 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be surprised to see how things are shaping up, as your plans do not account for all you see appearing before you. Be flexible.

Your Birthday for May 26, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 26th, 2019

Born today, you come off at times rather distant and formal, as you can be rather stiff in social situations and not at all forthcoming, but this is not the "real" you that comes out in private. When you are alone with only one or two close friends or partners, you can be quite jovial and fun-loving. Loved ones, friends and family members can always count on you to do for them what needs to be done, and there are times when you may find yourself taken advantage of by those who are unscrupulous and eager to get from you any little thing they can.

Also born on this date are: John Wayne, actor; Lenny Kravitz, singer; Helena Bonham Carter, actress; Stevie Nicks, singer; Miles Davis, composer; Sally Ride, astronaut; Jay Silverheels, actor; James Arness, actor; Hank Williams Jr., singer; Bobcat Goldthwait, comedian.

You can appreciate the big picture, but you are far more eager to deal with the minutia of any situation or problem. The broad strokes are not for you, but rather the surgical approach. You know how to express yourself, albeit in a manner that is uniquely your own.

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.

MONDAY, MAY 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will have to listen to others today in order to acquire the knowledge you need to face a coming situation. Don't talk quite so much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can get more done today than you had thought -- and as a result, you'll have more time later to give a loved one what he or she really wants.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You want to be able to call the shots, but to do so tomorrow you may have to take a back seat today. It's all a matter of balance and timing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are on a mission, and no one is going to stand in your way. What you accomplish today may be long remembered and often repeated by others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can make sense of things that seem confusing and meaningless to others. Don't neglect to tell those around you what is really going on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must do things in a careful, premeditated fashion today or someone else may be able to slip in front of you and derail you completely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be tempted to speak for someone else today, but you mustn't. He or she will learn more from you if directed to do the talking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel as though your passions are currently being misdirected, but the fact is that you are simply going through a transitional period.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Contradictions come fast and furiously today, and you will be in a position to sort them out. You must look at all issues one at a time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Family members express their concerns about a recent decision, but you are firm. You can put them at ease by sharing your thought process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone you look up to may let you down today -- but only temporarily. Be forgiving, as you will make a similar mistake very soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be confused by what is coming your way financially today. The figures you see are not what you expected; you must get them straight.

Your Birthday for May 25, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 25th, 2019

Born today, you are sturdy, stalwart and always on the lookout for a good cause to support -- and find one you will, again and again. There seems to be no end to your energy and ability to focus on your goals; what you start you finish, and almost always successfully. You share with many Gemini natives an eagerness to present yourself in a stylish and unique manner -- and so you do. There are times, in fact, when others might label you eccentric because of the things you do or say or the clothes you wear. No matter how you dress, however, you always seem to look good, and you have what it takes to be a real trendsetter. Others look to you as an example.

By keeping doors closed, you are sure to protect yourself from the kind of intrusive attention you would not be able to abide. Still, by doing this you're likely to make yourself a target of busybodies.

Also born on this date are: Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet; Frank Oz, filmmaker; Anne Heche, actress; Claude Akins, actor; Mike Myers, actor and comedian; Sir Ian McKellen, actor; Octavia Spencer, actress; Igor Sikorsky, aircraft designer; Gene Tunney, boxer.

SUNDAY, MAY 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The unexpected combines very nicely with the expected today, leaving you ample room to address both in ways that are quite effective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone who has been by your side for quite some time isn't there to help you through a difficult time today. Conquer your fears.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're in no mood for doing things in the same old way today. Give yourself time to experiment just a little and see what is really possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be wondering why an old friend hasn't been in touch in quite a while. Instead of just sitting there, why not reach out yourself?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't fool around with things you don't really understand today, or you may find yourself in a situation from which you cannot get free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are in a race against time itself right now, and you cannot afford to be distracted by anyone whose needs are less than your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are putting yourself in danger in a way that you cannot possibly understand, but saying "no" at just the right time can keep you safe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're facing a different kind of situation today -- one that requires you to accept what comes in order to minimize the dangers you face.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Look around and you will understand why things are the way they are, but you're not likely to understand what you can do about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A big decision affects others more than it does you. You may want to walk awhile in another's shoes to get the feel for something new.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Self-indulgence is to be avoided today at all costs. If you have a choice between yes and no, no is likely to be the correct answer for now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may stumble today, but you can regain your balance and be back on your way in little time. You'll learn much about what you can handle.
