Born today, you like to keep things simple, straightforward and as uncomplicated as possible -- not because you cannot handle them if they are not, but because you recognize that most other people respond favorably to this approach and are comforted by your apparent control over otherwise potential quite volatile situations. Indeed, as a role model you can be quite effective simply by doing things the way you do them.
You can be very quirky at times, and when you do or say something that seems to make no logical sense, others are likely to chalk it up to you simply being you -- for you love the odd and unusual and are known for indulging in things that others eschew. You try to reserve this kind of behavior for your private time, however.
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.
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.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can’t be expected to commit to a new project without knowing the ins and outs and what will be required of you. Ask necessary questions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let things progress in a random fashion or ignore key developments, for you do so at your own peril! You must stay in control all day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not fully understand why you are being affected as you are by a certain situation -- but fatigue may be a major factor.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There’s a big difference between being uninterested in something and being unable to engage. You must determine which applies to you!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can play it safe or you can immerse yourself fully in what comes your way -- and don’t think for a moment that it’s entirely up to you!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to cut things short today in order to deal with a personal situation that threatens to get out of hand. A friend is there for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- There is so much information for you to impart to others at this time that you may only be able to start today -- and finish tomorrow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A basic issue stands at the center of a situation you’re still trying to understand or appreciate. What is it that you’re missing right now?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Sharing what you know is not only going to benefit everyone in the conversation today, but it will also reveal something long hidden away.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are eager to explore what waits for you in a different direction -- but is today the day to break things off with current allies?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be operating under the assumption that something is required today that is, in fact, optional. Realize that you have more choices!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The faster you move in your chosen direction today, the easier it will be to make a key decision when the time comes. Confidence increases.
