Born today, you are the kind of person to be quite satisfied in the background -- not because you don’t want to have an impact on what goes on at the forefront of daily affairs, but rather because you are more confident that what you do behind the scenes is going to pay off more handsomely than anything you might do otherwise. You have been hardwired to support others, in fact, and this should be quite evident even at an early age, when so many of your efforts will be in support of friends and family members.
You are not always the first to address a problem, but this is because you like to be very careful in addressing anything untoward and never want to respond prematurely to what happens around you. What this means, of course, is that when you do set about to address a problem, you usually solve it -- quickly and permanently.
Also born on this date are: Tim McGraw, singer; Judy Collins, singer; Ray Parker Jr., singer; Glenn Ford, actor; Joanna Lumley, actress; Kate Smith, singer; Rita Coolidge, singer; Dann Florek, actor; Jack Paar, TV host.

THURSDAY, MAY 2
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Unexpected developments may require you to back out of a project to which you’ve committed, unless someone in charge makes an adjustment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Despite your efforts to get information from others today, you may find yourself having to go with what you already know -- for now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s all fun and games today until things get a little too personal, and then you’ll want to call it quits. You needn’t explain!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to race against the clock today to finish something that’s already somewhat overdue. Someone is looking over your shoulder.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why ask another how to do something you know how to do perfectly well? New ideas, especially good ones, are always beneficial, are they not?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’re nearing the halfway point of a journey of discovery, but what you’re expecting to learn is still unclear. Ask some questions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Portions of what you’ve reserved for yourself can be shared with others today without leading to a shortage you’ll feel in any way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may make a realization today that changes everything -- but a friend or loved one doesn’t want to see you doing anything rash.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can have more fun today the harder you work, though not everyone will be on board with you. This may prove to be a solo project.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ve got a lot on your plate today and you may not be in the mood to juggle responsibilities. Is there someone you can ask for help?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Before you finish something that’s almost ready to share with others, you’ll want to make sure your efforts won’t be misinterpreted.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be willing to subject yourself to a little sensory overload today in order to understand what someone else is going through.
