Your Birthday for May 13, 2021

Your Birthday | May 13th, 2021

Born today, you are never one to say that you cannot do a thing simply because of how difficult it may seem or how inexperienced you might be. Rather, you expect of yourself that you will always try, no matter what, to do even what others say cannot be done -- and in so doing, you will further your own reputation, develop your own considerable talents and work for the good of all mankind as you raise the bar and exceed expectations.

You can be a rather intense individual, and you are far more likely to be combative in group situations than in any one-on-one setting where you feel you can "let down" a bit and relax. You tend to feel challenged by large groups of people, and this can only lead to your getting defensive.

Also born on this date are: Debby Ryan, actress; Stevie Wonder, singer, songwriter, musician; Darius Rucker, singer; Dennis Rodman, basketball player; Ritchie Valens, singer; Stephen Colbert, comedian and TV host.

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.

FRIDAY, MAY 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Temptation calls to you today, but you're feeling strong and resistant. Use care, however, because someone close to you knows your weakness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care that your response to the unexpected doesn't make things worse. You must deal in facts today, not rumor or innuendo.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An introduction takes you down an unusual road today -- but not right away. You'll have just enough time to prepare yourself for what comes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The moment you portray dissatisfaction with someone's efforts today, you'll have your hands full with an unintended conflict. Avoid it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take a step back today and look at things from a broader perspective. In this way you should be able to see how everything is working together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your profits may dip slightly today as you work to solve a problem that has taken you away from your primary duties for a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to take advantage today of that hidden "safety valve" that only you know about. Others will want to know your secret!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't have to call the shots today to ensure that you remain in a good position. Things should fall out well, one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A recent development has you seeing things from a cloudier perspective than usual. This is something you must clear up right away!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Admittedly no expert, you can still share an opinion that will help others deal with a very tricky situation. Your help is appreciated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can have a good deal of fun today, but you must still tend to certain important duties that were assigned to you some time ago.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't have to share your reactions to things with everyone around you today -- and, in fact, concealing them may well be your best option.

Your Birthday for May 12, 2021

Your Birthday | May 12th, 2021

Born today, you often have the good of others squarely in mind, even as you pursue your own goals. Indeed, the needs of those around you and the desires you aim to fulfill in your professional life are almost certain to intersect, and at that point, your life can be truly exciting -- and unique, too! You don't necessarily like to break the rules, but you do like to make new rules that others have not yet imagined.

You don't like to tell or listen to stories; rather, you want to be the story -- and so you can be by following your bliss and doing the things your character compels you to do and that your physical strengths allow. You don't have to attract attention to get things done, but it's likely you will do so -- again and again -- whether or not you are aware of it.

Also born on this date are: Emilio Estevez, actor; Florence Nightingale, social reformer and nurse; Jason Biggs, actor; Katharine Hepburn, actress; Yogi Berra, baseball player; George Carlin, comedian; Ving Rhames, actor; Stephen Baldwin, actor; Edward Lear, poet.

THURSDAY, MAY 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't make any decisions today if you are feeling out of sorts. Time is on your side right now; wait until you're feeling good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Agreement is not essential to progress today, though it can make things a little smoother as you navigate some difficult terrain, surely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to wait your turn today before you can really let things go, but you can use the time to your advantage. Collaborate with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're ready and eager to take on more responsibility perhaps, but right now it's best for you to prepare for a coming difficulty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be surprised by what someone is able to do with seemingly no resources whatsoever. This changes your mind about the "possible."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's not likely to be the easiest day on record, but you can minimize one particular difficulty by being honest and open with an old friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Don't wait until you are asked to give what little information you may have about an event that is the topic of a dispute. Your view is key!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can make the best of a difficult situation today -- and, as a result, you'll almost certainly be called upon by others to do it again soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Potential is quite high today, but things may not be organized enough to amount to much just yet. This is something you can fix.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be surprised when a friend steps in and takes over from you without you having to ask. The timing and results are perfect!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to get started on something new, but things may not be ready for you just yet. Remain calm, and make use of the time!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're going in the right direction, but sometimes it may feel as if everyone else is proving you wrong. Don't get caught up in such mind games!

Your Birthday for May 11, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 11th, 2021

Born today, you have a good deal of creativity that, when young, you may not know quite how to direct or control effectively -- but this can result in a great deal of good, as it means you're not likely to follow in anyone's footsteps but to chart a course that is uniquely your own -- and that is the way to go for any serious artist! Your motives are not always understood, and your work may not always be appreciated by your intended audience.

Though you are quite serious in your work, you know how to cut loose -- and the harder you work during daylight hours, the harder you will play when night falls. You are something of a night owl, but you must take care that the demands of the day and the pleasures of the night do not take too much of a toll on you!

Also born on this date are: Cam Newton, football player; Salvador Dali, artist; Natasha Richardson, actress; Martha Quinn, TV personality; Phil Silvers, actor and comedian; Frances Fisher, actress; Laetitia Casta, model.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That which is just now appearing on the horizon will demand more of your time and attention very soon; you must begin to clear your schedule.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You receive instructions today that actually make things more confusing than they have to be. Set them aside and do things your own way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once you share your thoughts with another, you can get things moving forward right away. Your efforts combine with another's very effectively today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Putting another's needs before your own is nothing new for you, but today it may mean having to sacrifice something that is dear to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not fully understand the technical "ins and outs" of a certain process today, but it's one you'll want to embrace as you move forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can show others how it's done today and solidify your reputation as one to be counted on in times of stress. This should be a good day!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You receive signs that are not immediately clear to you -- but a friend's input fills in the blanks. You're able to do much from afar, perhaps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have to pay attention to everything that goes on around you today, and a 360-degree awareness will surely serve you well!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Shop around today and you'll surely find what you're looking for at the right price. It's all depends on having a genuine motive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be tempted to do more than you've been asked to do, but take care that you don't bite off more than you can chew! Be realistic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be the cause of something that others cannot deal with very well in the moment. You must be willing to clean up the mess.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have the opportunity today to explain yourself and your recent actions, but that may not be the best course of action.
