The trouble with things is that your interest in them suddenly palls and then you wonder what you can do with them, and often end up just giving them all away.
Sun Sign: Taurus/Venus
Decanate: Taurus/Saturn; Numbers: 2, 6
Ruled by Venus, people born on this day are deeply concerned with their surroundings. They yearn for wealth, lust for possessions and easily feel insecure. Both sexes like to wear their wealth on their sleeve, delight in designer clothes, jewels and costly watches. They are the magpies of the solar system, filling their nests with bright things, including other people's, when greed may push some of these individuals to commit minor crimes.
They are the shoppers of the world, regarding each country they visit as a department store, in particular drawn to India, enjoying the sybaritic pleasures of Eastern perfumes, brilliant carpets and exquisite jewels. Some even marry, or start a business and settle down in their chosen foreign cave of treasures. When they do this, May 15 quickly learns the language and equally quickly make friends with the residents. They are not really subject to homesickness. Home to them is where the pleasures of the eye lies. Many are extremely generous with their money and often with their possessions. Where greed is not so much to the fore, they will come to the rescue of friends and relatives in need, throwing all their resources at the needy one, knowing that with their charm and wit they can soon lay hands on more of the same.
Many marry for love, but must manage to combine this with espousing money and people born on this date often link up with much older people who have already had the time to acquire wordly possessions. Such liaisons are usually successful, because May 15 has a naive, childish streak which benefits from the experience of mature lovers, and indeed, in work situations you often find this individual attached to an older and wiser mentor. The friendship is always genuine as well as beneficial. They may not choose a mentor who isn't loaded, but this being so, the emotional attachment is heartfelt.
Romantic, caring, and idealistic, you dislike solitude and cannot imagine being without a close companion for very long. More than anything, you want love and romance in your life. Without it, you may feel incomplete.
You come alive in the secure environs of a long-lasting relationship. Given your sentimental nature, you’re as likely to fall in love with a romantic ideal as with a real person. Once you find the mate who suits you, you will love him or her passionately and with total commitment. In return, you expect your significant other to fill your days with poetry and romance.
Your romantic idealism extends into the bedroom. You recognize the value of give-and-take and compromise in all areas of life. When it comes to making love, quality and mutual gratification are much more important to you than quantity. In intimate situations, you try to be as aware of your partner’s wishes as you are of your own. Although you can be quite inventive when necessary to keep your lover happy, you actually prefer old-fashioned romance to kinky sexual innovation.
Zinc is vitally important to healthy sexual functioning. Experts say that a slightly lowered zinc status could mean a sperm count too low for reproduction and loss of libido in both sexes. In men the numbers of spermatozoa have been found to be related to the zinc content of the seminal fluid. Zinc is found naturally in fresh foods and as long as the diet is stocked with nuts, fruit and seafood, there is no need to worry. However as 2.5mg of zinc is lost in every ejaculation, a very sexually active man prone to exhaustion should consult a doctor about a zinc supplement.
Witty conversation, gourmet food, comfort, luxury, tenderness, and passionate sensuality turn you on. The lover who provides all these, and is able to enjoy them with you, can win your heart forever. Sharing is really important to you, and experiencing the good things in life with your significant other makes you feel cherished and appreciated.
The trouble with things is that your interest in them suddenly palls and then you wonder what you can do with them, and often end up just giving them all away.
You are naturally cooperative rather than competitive. With your laid-back personality, you rarely rush into anything, preferring to take each day as it comes. However, anyone who tries to put one over on you, or take advantage of your good nature, soon discovers that you’re actually quite stubborn and a lot tougher and more determined than you appear.
