Born today, you have it in your mind that you are something of a towering figure and that you are capable of thinking, saying and doing things that will be long remembered and perhaps place you squarely in the pantheon of those considered “great” among Taurus natives. The problem, of course, is that you are secretly insecure and may not have what it takes, at any given time, to jump at the opportunities made available to you -- either personally or professionally.
The greatest single antidote to your band of insecurity is laughter, and you are able to make a joke out of almost anything -- including yourself. Indeed, you are more likely to laugh at yourself than at anyone else -- and you encourage others to do so as well. You truly think laughter is the best medicine -- though for you it can sometimes be a substitute for inner strength and resolve.
Also born on this date are: Adele, singer; Karl Marx, political philosopher; Tammy Wynette, singer; Brian Williams, TV news anchor; John Rhys-Davies, actor; Tyrone Power, actor; Pat Carroll, actress; Michael Palin, actor, writer, comedian.
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.
MONDAY, MAY 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be looking forward to a certain reunion today, but when all is said and done, you’ll have benefited in ways you didn’t foresee.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to keep a secret today in order to maintain the advantage tomorrow -- at least where a playful domestic surprise is concerned.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may require assistance with a certain task today -- before you feel you are ready to take on more. You must do things in the right order!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to wait longer than desired today for a friend to tell you what’s wrong, and you’ll soon learn if you’re part of the problem.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The answer you seek isn’t likely to come to you as expected today, but not long before nightfall you’ll get a valuable and timely hint.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be available and accessible today and everything you want to know will be known -- and sooner than expected. Don’t shut yourself out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to weigh the impact of something you recently did based on someone else’s perspective, but this can prove a valuable exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be wondering what’s behind a certain chain of events that recently threw you for the proverbial loop. Get a certain ally’s opinion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must be sure you have everything you need to navigate the day successfully before you go out the door, as a return home may not be possible.
