May 17

Making a plan and sticking to it, you push ever forward with a specific framework in mind. Would that life were so simple! When that plan doesn't work out, all hell breaks loose emotionally. You might be unable to cope with anything unanticipated. The birth number of 4 only accents the desire for firm foundations — so there's not going to be a lot of assistance here except perhaps from the Capricorn decanate that understands the value of prompt action.

If you share this birthday, you have a strong stubborn streak. If there's an ideal in which you believe or a project that you want completed, there's no changing your mind. Some people find that uncompromising nature frustrating, but the majority of your acquaintances like your integrity. Others never have to second-guess your motivations, and that's actually something in which you take pride. Honor is an important part of your makeup.

As for love, it's not something this Bull gives away without good cause. Love is earned, trust is earned, and our Taurus sometimes tests friends and partners in unrealistic ways. Once that confident foundation is firmly in place, however, these individuals provide a lot of intimate support and reliability.

Gift idea: an embroidered handkerchief.
