Your Birthday for May 14, 2022

Your Birthday | May 14th, 2022

Born today, you are very likely to find yourself on the fast track to professional success at an early age, as the beneficiary of someone's training and attention -- but you must take care, for that may not be the right path for you in the end. You must determine whether to allow yourself to be molded in this way or to break free of someone's tutelage and go your own way in pursuit of not only professional success, but personal contentment as well.

You are something of a visionary, and you see yourself as very much the "star" of your own story -- which, of course, is why you bristle when you are being managed by someone, even when young. You are inspiring to others, and you no doubt have the makings of a fine teacher -- though to be successful as one, you must learn to appreciate it when your students exceed your own instruction and expectations.

Also born on this date are: Lou Harrison, composer; Robert Zemeckis, director, producer, screenwriter; Francesca Annis, actress, Mark Zuckerberg, computer programmer and businessman; Amber Tamblyn, actress; Cate Blanchett, actress; Eoin Colfer, author.

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.

SUNDAY, MAY 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The beginning of the day and the last few moments of it will offer just enough information to make sense of what happens in between.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Open and honest communication is essential today; you mustn't let anyone complicate matters by trying to deceive you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You know the truth when you hear it, and today you'll spend a good deal of time sifting through falsehoods to uncover something you can count on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're going to have to hit the ground running today, as there is much to be done today and you must demonstrate to others your overall fitness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you do today will surely be remembered -- but will it be for the right reasons? There's much you can do to ensure a positive answer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself caught between two urgent realities that don't suit either your mood or your desires, but you must address them today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be pushed in a new direction today, either by another person or by unforeseen circumstances. In either case, one response yields results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What's done cannot be undone -- or so you have long been told. Today you may discover that this is not entirely so -- temporarily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't do anything to get yourself noticed today, but rather you must exert invisible pressure on others whenever possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've been in pursuit of something that you cannot exactly identify for quite some time. It may now be time to stop the chase at last.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something that seems to be drab and colorless can be improved dramatically today -- and ultimately be recognized as the best of its kind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You receive conflicting messages today that must be studied for hidden meaning. Ultimately, you'll know just how you are supposed to react.

Your Birthday for May 13, 2022

Your Birthday | May 13th, 2022

Born today, you may on one hand have a rather rough-and-tumble image and reputation, but the fact of the matter is that you are also quite sensitive and can quickly succumb to rising emotions brought to the surface by an unexpected development in your daily life. It's not that you are unable to be strong, imposing, aggressive and even combative when a situation requires it of you, but neither you nor anyone else should overlook the deep emotional currents that run beneath the surface.

You are quite charismatic, and others are likely to be attracted to you both because of who you are -- or seem to be -- and what you do. Your words and actions are very much direct reflections of that part of you that you wish to put on display at any given moment. This may be considered by some to be merely manipulative, but it is a genuine part of who you are.

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.

SATURDAY, MAY 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to step in and do what someone else usually does -- and you're likely to find that this is something you'll want to do again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your influence will guide someone through a tricky patch today, but you needn't do anything to announce yourself. Just helping is enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Success depends in large part today upon your ability to see things from two or more different angles. Your own opinions aren't yet a factor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Self-doubt enters into things at a certain point today, but you should be able to overcome it and do what you've planned. Stay on track.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You receive more than you've bargained for today and, as a result, you'll be able to do more than you had scheduled. Your status changes somewhat.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have a clear choice today: You can accept less than has been agreed upon or you can stand your ground and demand fair treatment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You require more assistance today than usual, but it should be simple to arrange -- provided you're in the right place at the right time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Much will be made of the way you interpret certain facts and figures today, but the fact is that your way of seeing things is more than valid.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't let yourself become too emotional today when dealing with an event that takes you by surprise. Engage your mind!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to see if a recent study has increased your chances of success, especially when it comes to a particularly tricky task.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can surely influence another today, but it goes both ways; you mustn't expect to remain free of that person's subtle influence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel the pressure mounting today as a deadline approaches, but you're in a good position and your approach is yielding clear results.

Your Birthday for May 12, 2022

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 12th, 2022

Born today, you have been endowed with tremendous vision, dedication and staying power that you are destined to apply to all you do -- especially those things that are in some way designed to help others, for that is your true calling. You are the kind of person to keep others squarely in mind at all times. If something happens to you, you are quick to think about what must then be happening to those around you, and if you do something in response, you want it to benefit not only yourself but those who are in the same boat.

Something you have in common with most other Taurus natives is your insistence that things can, must and will be better -- given enough time and effort. You are a student of the past so that you can work in the present to ensure that the future is better for all concerned -- and when it comes to thinking ahead, you simply cannot be matched. Your ambitions and intentions are so clear that you almost have second sight.

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.

FRIDAY, MAY 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your mood may not cooperate with you at first today, when enthusiasm and eagerness are called for, but you can turn it all around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The fear that you've been trying to overcome may well be behind you for good -- and it will not, at least, affect you now or in the days to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself in direct conflict with someone who, not long ago, was on your side. What has happened to cause this turn of events?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You mustn't let anyone take your turn or speak for you right now. Only you know what's really in your heart and what you must do or say.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to be in the center of all that's going on today, but that may be too much to ask -- and might actually prove somewhat dangerous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Focus on the things that happen behind the scenes today and you'll be much more capable of determining what's likely to happen tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You want answers, but first you're going to have to ask exactly the right questions. Take care that you're not merely repeating yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have been judging someone a bit harshly as of late, but today you'll likely have every reason to offer praise instead of criticism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't push yourself past the limits of your patience or stamina today. A moderate, controlled approach will certainly be best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- After doing something you've had planned for quite a while, you may get a reaction that takes you by surprise. What went wrong?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be taken aback today by someone's aggressive stance. This is not a fight you should become engaged in -- so steer clear!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to win praise from someone who has been critical of you in the past -- but take care that you're not merely pandering in some way.
