Your Birthday for May 28, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 28th, 2019

Born today, you are never one to doubt yourself, and you will move forward with strength and confidence once you have assessed a situation, weighed the pros and cons, determined any and all potential gains or losses, and decided on a course of action. You are no daredevil, however; you always have your best interest at heart -- and your own safety, too. You will face danger when you have to, however, and you are far more likely to face it yourself than have anyone else face it for you. When there is something to be done, you want to do it yourself; you're not one to delegate your duties or responsibilities to others.

You are keenly aware of what is going on around you at all times, and you have a kind of sixth sense that enables you to anticipate what other people are going to do or say. This can give you a great advantage over your competitors, but it can also make you somewhat suspicious and prevent you from dealing with people in the most unassuming manner.

Also born on this date are: 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 ice skater; Rudolph Giuliani, politician and attorney.

Your Birthday for May 27, 2019

by Stella Wilder

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Examine the available evidence carefully today. You're likely to come up with a detailed version of recent events. Experts come calling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your approach to a certain situation may not be popular, but you are confident you can get the job done. Praise will soon follow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can expect things to transpire according to plan -- until you get to a point beyond which you haven't been able to anticipate specifics.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A last-minute adjustment helps you maximize rewards today. You must be prepared to pay back someone for his or her investment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to receive help from someone who is eager to see you succeed. A little more in-depth investigation may be required.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're trying to wrap up things and leave no loose ends, but there are certain contingencies that have yet to be dealt with today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Skip a step and you'll surely be put out before the day comes to a close. Be sure you tend to all business in the right order.

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.

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.

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.

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.
