Born today, you are a sensitive, insightful and feeling individual who is not likely to hide from situations that tap into your emotional nature -- but rather you will actively seek out situations that bring out your more complex feelings about yourself and the world in which you live. It is not enough, however, to feel things; you want to express those feelings as fully and as richly as you possibly can.
Just as your autonomy is important to you as you chart your way forward professionally, so is it essential to your private life. You are likely to fall in love quickly -- and others will fall for you quickly as well -- and you must always guard against possessing another or being possessed. You desire to remain "free" -- and your romantic partners need to accept that fact!
Also born on this date are: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composer; Eva Peron, Argentinian first lady; Gary Cooper, actor; Traci Lords, actress; Johannes Brahms, composer; Johnny Unitas, football player; Robert Browning, poet; Darren McGavin, actor; Anne Baxter, actress.

SATURDAY, MAY 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to struggle through watching someone fail not once, but twice or perhaps three times, before you can step in and help out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is looking out for you and has been for quite some time, though you may not have known it. Today, his or her help becomes apparent.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're waiting for your turn, but you're not sure how to fill the time. Go over plans, and be sure that everything is properly in place!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can make just enough time at several junctures during the day to get a major task done one part at a time. Don't try it all at once!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You won't be able to do all that you had set your sights on today, so you must prioritize. Someone's needs may have to come first.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are several people waiting on you today, but you must finish what you started yesterday before giving them the attention they desire.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A technical concern may keep you from doing something the way you've always wanted to do it. Still, an alternative proves satisfying today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The moment you start today, you'll feel as though something special is happening -- and indeed it is. Much that is memorable can happen!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Just because you're doing something the way someone has instructed you doesn't mean you understand the motive. Be sure to ask!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can speed through one or two preliminary tasks today before settling into the main event, which is almost sure to be a long haul for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be dealing with many people who have a lot of talent -- and those who don't needn't get in your way. Focus on the positive!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Listen to what the experts have to say, and then experiment with your own methods. Even if someone tells you "no," there's room to improvise.
