Born today, you are a creative individual, but it doesn't always come naturally as it does to some. You have to work at it more than others to ensure that what you are doing is really up to snuff. When you are in the groove and the ideas are flowing freely, you seem to erase all perceived boundaries and ignore all established rules, regulations and possibilities, as you come up with things that are unique and challenging in many ways.
There is a subtlety in your nature that may actually allow you to be overlooked at times -- but those who overlook you do so at their own peril, for you are always in the game, always striving to better yourself and achieve more, always looking to beat the competition at their own game. And this you are able to do, especially when you use the element of surprise.
Also born on this date are: Andy Murray, tennis player; Emmitt Smith, football player; James Mason, actor; George Brett, baseball player; Eddy Arnold, country singer; Chazz Palminteri, actor; Joseph Cotten, actor; L. Frank Baum, 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.
TUESDAY, MAY 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're after novelty and originality at this time, and yet you have only the usual tools to work with. You must, then, think outside the box.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If the answer you seek isn't immediately available to you today, don't panic. A little patience and a thorough examination will do the trick.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are supporting someone in ways that others cannot, and that will surely be appreciated today. Focus on well-being, inside and out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Putting your own needs first may be difficult for you today, but saying what must be said to maintain a certain advantage is a no-brainer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Minding your own business today may mean minding the business of some others. This may seem counterintuitive, but you'll see it makes sense.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time for you to stop shortchanging yourself. Stand up for what you believe in, and insist that others give you your due from now on.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Messages of all kinds are likely to come to you fast and furiously today -- and in all forms. You must deal with a bureaucratic logjam.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Getting along better with another may simply be a matter of addressing a minor error made some time ago. Remember that both of you are responsible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A Leo native may press you to do something you are loath to do, and today is certainly not the day to step out of your comfort zone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you don't mistake what you are truly feeling today for some other kind of emotional rumblings. Try to stay objective.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't make any big decisions by proxy today; be present, and remember that only the people in the room can influence what happens.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're coming very close to a boundary of which someone else is very protective. See if you can back away without attracting attention.
