People born on May 15 are blessed with intelligence, charm and a rich and powerful imagination. Young at heart, they have the ability to touch the hearts and minds of all those lucky enough to wander across their path.
What makes people born on this day so special is their creativity. They are the ones with the brightest solutions or magical ideas and when they are around the world always seems a fresher and more colorful place. They often live in their dreams, so their plans frequently come to nothing while they are sitting back expecting others to come forward or to seek their advice. At work they may see a way forward but they are unlikely to volunteer this information to their boss unless asked for it; in their personal life they may expect others to make the first move. It is important for them to put themselves forward and take responsibility for their creativity and talent, because this is the only way they will be able to reach their potential and fulfill their dreams.
From about the age of six to the age of thirty-six, there is an emphasis on education, communication and new interests; this is one of the reasons why their imaginative faculties are so advanced and why they may opt to stay in school longer or train longer than others. Around the age of thirty-six, however, home and family life present opportunities for them to shake off their passivity and become more confident of themselves and their abilities.
They are often seen by others as being rather otherworldly or living in a world of their own; in many respects this assumption is correct as they do have an irresistible urge to acquire knowledge, oftentimes mystical knowledge. Despite the dreamy image they present, once they learn to take responsibility for their talents they are rarely isolated from others. This is because others will always be drawn to their capacity to present the inspirational fruits of their mental adventures and, by so doing, bring great happiness and illumination to the world.
☆ On the dark side:Passive, unfulfilled, detached
☆ At your best:Imaginative, intelligent, charming
In a very natural manner, May 15 people are able to exemplify what those around them are unconsciously striving to attain. Consequently, others may be attracted to those born on this day without really knowing why. May 15 people may also be surprised by such attention, as they themselves are often unaware of their magnetism. They simply have a gift for quietly and unostentatiously touching the hearts of their family, friends or colleagues.
One reason that those born on this 'day do not draw great attention to themselves is that on first glance they do not seem to be doing anything so much out of the ordinary, and their outward appearance does not particularly set them apart. The charm of May 15 people may not be immediately apparent, but it is generally after some time has passed that those involved with them come to realize their power. The materials that May 15 people work with come from everyday life, but those born on this day have a remarkable talent for putting these mundane materials through a kind of creative alchemy and weaving a resultant tapestry which touches one's inner core. They do not touch everyone so deeply; only those who are tuned in to their wave length are so powerfully affected.
May 15 people are often loners. They are capable of working ordinary jobs in the daytime while exploring more unusual interests after work and on weekends. Sometimes their immersion in private worlds can cut them off from their fellow human beings and cause quite serious psychic problems. Those born on this day should always be encouraged to express themselves, perhaps first sharing their ideas or projects with a few intimates, later emerging to present them in a more public setting. The ultimate goal is, of course, that they be able to spend the greater part of their time doing what they love best. Unfortunately, since they are rarely aggressive, they may choose not to emerge at all, and the few admirers they have may wind up supporting them emotionally or even financially; this can become a real problem for everyone concerned. May 15 people must sooner or later step out on their own, assume responsibility for their talents and seek to further their careers. Their ability to please can then be put to work in a wider social context, instead of just getting bottled up in personal frustration.
May 15 people generally feel that many quiet years of training are necessary to establish one's own inner discipline, because it is most important not to lead others astray once successful.
Those born on this day are thus loathe to seek positions of power until they have first fully prepared themselves and paid their dues while forming ideas and attitudes which can have such an impact on other people.
Power Thought:I choose to love my life,Love in a spiritual sense may mean seduction to a higher level
Those born on the 15th day of the month are ruled by the number 6 (1+5=6), and by the planet Venus. Those ruled by the number 6 tend to be charismatic and sometimes even inspire worship in others. Since, as mentioned, the number 6 is associated with the planet Venus, and Taurus is also ruled by Venus, May 15 people may be overly venusian, and thus passive. They must try to be more assertive and bring their Mars energies into action. In this way their Mars (male) and Venus (female) sides will be balanced.
The 15th card of the Major Arcana, The Devil, indicates a fear/desire dynamic working where sexual attraction, irrationality and passion are concerned. The Devil holds us slave through our need for security and money; he represents our base nature grasping for security; he controls us through the irreconcilable differences which exist in our male/female nature. The positive side of this card is sexual attraction and the expression of passionate desires. But the card reminds us that although we are bound to our bodies, our spirits are free to soar.
☆Luck maker:(Reveal what you feel)Enthusiastic and open people are more likely to attract luck than reserved people. We like those who are excited about life. It means they are alive and energetic; helping them makes us feel alive and energetic too.
You’re drawn to people born on September 24 to October 23:You share a need for the love of an equal, and this can create a stimulating and intense union.
People born on May 15 are never short of admirers but they may miss out on opportunities for romance because they are reluctant to make the first move. Once in a relationship they also need to guard against passivity and should try to take the initiative more, especially when it comes to showing affection; their undemonstrative nature may be interpreted by others as indifference.
People born on this day need to avoid isolating themselves from social contact. All activities that bring them out of themselves should be encouraged, as should spending more time with friends and loved ones. Exercise is highly recommended, especially activities that involve social contact, such as dancing, aerobics and team sports. As far as diet is concerned, they have a tendency to overindulge in foods they enjoy. One of the best ways to counteract this is to make sure that boredom and loneliness are not the real causes of their overeating. The same applies to sex and drugs, in which they may also be tempted to indulge. Addiction of any kind is extremely negative and unhealthy for them, so if they can’t fight it alone they need to seek help from their doctor or a counselor. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to feel warmer and more secure in the company of others.
Those born on May 15 may be prey to their own dream weaving. They must guard against isolating themselves in an unreal inner world, cut off from reality. Therefore, all activities that bring them into contact with their fellow human beings, whether physical (exercise, running, team sports) or social (dancing, parties, dinners) are healthy and recommended. As far as diet is concerned, May 15 people are encouraged to extend their typical Taurus love for food to the widest variety of culinary delights. Perhaps this appreciation of varied cuisines can afford opportunities to make friends and acquaintances. To this end, taking up cooking is also helpful. May 15 people should be particularly on guard against sex and love addictions, or becoming overly attached to one person to the exclusion of all else; again, such behavior only promotes the isolationist tendencies of May 15
These people have the potential to inspire others and succeed in just about every career, from scientific research to business to something more artistic and creative. They may also choose to work from home or devote themselves to web design, finance or accountancy. Their birthday shows excellent work opportunities and a strong awareness of responsibility, but they need to guard against becoming stuck in a job that does not fulfill them.
The life path of people born on this day is to make sure they don’t cut themselves off from others. Once they are able to find a balance between their creativity and their responsibility to the world, their destiny is to share their innovative ideas and by so doing inspire others.
When you are ready, your preparations complete, go for it. You are right to act responsibly and weigh social obligations, but be more active in furthering your cause. Never forget the bond between love and enlightenment. Learn to share and allow others into your private world.
