Born today, you are one of the foremost problem solvers born under your sign, and you outdo most other individuals in that arena simply because of your native tenacity and your refusal to let anyone else take the credit -- or the blame -- for what happens around you that you can in any way control. Indeed, from an early age, you had the idea that you were destined to be "in charge," but of what, exactly? That's the question that you will spend the greater portion of your life trying to answer.
You are far more emotionally invested in all things -- your work, recreation, other people, romance, etc. -- than you let on, but a few who know you well know that you can be quite sensitive. You have been known to take stories very much to heart and to cry at happy endings. You like to think that you're tough -- and you are, when you have to be, but not always.
Also born on this date are: Harry S. Truman, U.S. president; David Attenborough, TV host; Don Rickles, comedian and actor; Rick Nelson, singer; Toni Tennille, singer; Sonny Liston, boxer; Ronnie Lott, football player.

MONDAY, MAY 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may expect the road before you to be tortuous, but today's journey can prove quite pleasurable. What you seek is quickly found.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- News received today boosts your confidence, but you'll still have to deal with those who are too used to saying "no" to you to say otherwise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new partner brings new skills to a current endeavor -- but even more importantly, a new elevated energy gives you a much-needed boost.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are likely to receive help from someone in the shadows today, and you'll want to learn who it is so you can return the favor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The most valuable resources must be the most carefully guarded at this time; you don't want to find yourself running low at the wrong moment!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It may seem to some that you are merely frittering away your time and, indeed, you have been more focused in the past. What is your end game?
