Born today, you have an old-fashioned streak that you enjoy indulging whenever possible -- in fashion, in food, in recreation, and even in work and romance. There are many periods from the past that fascinate you, but because you live in the modern world, of course, you are not able to immerse yourself entirely in another time. You understand that to live a successful life, you must creatively combine those aspects of the past that you most value with ways of the present and future that are essential to daily life. You are not so idealistic that you are unable to grasp the realities of life and the world around you, certainly!
You know how to shape your ideas very well, and you will likely become an expert at communicating them to all manner of people, whether they are likely to agree with you or not. You are able to talk about even the most volatile topics in a rational, even poetic, fashion that is appreciated by nearly every audience.
Also born on this date are: Notorious B.I.G., rapper; Mr. T, actor; Raymond Burr, actor; Fats Waller, musician; Lisa Edelstein, actress; Leo Sayer, singer; Al Franken, comedian and politician; Henri Rousseau, artist; Bobby Cox, baseball manager; Harold Robbins, author; Peggy Cass, actress and comedian; Alexander Pope, poet.
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.
THURSDAY, MAY 22
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're going to have to put your trust in someone who displays a great deal more expertise -- and confidence -- than you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your own know-how may be put to the test before the day is out. Others express delight with your abilities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You want to be sure that you don't run out of time. Focus first on things that can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may sense another's discomfort, and you have just what the doctor ordered to relieve it -- but you don't want to be misinterpreted!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A gathering storm is nothing to fear, as you are fully equipped and prepared to deal with it as it comes upon you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others may feel that there is too much going on for you to deal with at one time, but you're confident that today is the day to get it all done.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're learning something new, and today you can begin to put that knowledge into practice -- if only on a limited basis.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The start of something new can be quite exciting, provided you have made room in your schedule to devote yourself to it fully.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to get in touch with a friend or partner and let him or her know what you are planning. Don't leave this individual in the dark.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others are gravitating toward you for a particular reason that may, at first, escape you. Later, you'll realize what's going on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself bogged down by details that you hadn't anticipated. Today, however, you are likely to receive some much-needed help.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're waiting for word from afar that all is well, but you may have to wait just a little while longer. Not all the facts are in yet.
