People born on May 19 have a highly developed sense of fair play and an ability to put forward their case convincingly and credibly. They will speak out eloquently when they notice any injustice and act decisively to ensure positive changes are made.
One of the greatest strengths of these people is their natural ability to convince others that changes need to be made and action needs to be taken. Such is their persuasive power that after spending time with them others often find themselves feeling energized, focused and ready to commit themselves to a new course of action. There is a danger, however, that their magnetic and inspiring communicative skills can be used for unworthy causes. When this is the case, their charisma and eloquence can slip into dishonesty; they should avoid this path at all costs as it will only lead to frustration.
Until the age of thirty-two there is an emphasis in the lives of people born on this day on learning, writing, speech, and study, and, because this coincides with their student years, their talent for communication will be given plenty of opportunities to express itself and develop. In fact, education in some form is vital to bring out the best of their potential. During this time they will also begin to appreciate the powerful effect they have on others; as a consequence, they need to ensure they don’t become manipulative or overbearing. After the age of thirty-two they become more focused on emotional intimacy, family and security; these years can be highly fulfilling and rewarding.
Inventive and original, people born on this day have a progressive philosophy in life and whatever they choose to focus their energies on, their arguments and ideals are always worth listening to. Once they learn to strike a balance between standing up for their own ideas and being receptive to the ideas of others, not only are able to persuade others of the importance of their ideals, they can also become excellent representatives for others less fortunate than themselves.
☆ On the dark side:Manipulative, frustrated, dishonest
☆ At your best:Persuasive, fair, energetic
May19 people have plenty of energy, all right, but have to learn how to keep it under control and direct it well. This is indeed crucial because many born on this day have great leadership potential. Although they often go through trying times, both physically and emotionally, they emerge successful when their purpose is focused. Their energy can be quite elemental, like the weather. It is perhaps best put to use in long-range projects involving the building of structure in social or family life.
May 19 people are usually self-taught and value a natural approach to their work. They get in trouble, however, when they overuse logical and reasoning faculties at the expense of intuition.
When they think too far into things they may end up quite removed from their original intentions, for it is the promptings of their heart which is noblest in them. Indeed, their heart is like a ship's compass, that keeps them on course, and they should look to it for direction.
For both men and women born on this day a powerful figure of the same sex (usually older) often becomes a central person in their lives. If they encounter such an individual in their formative years, the person may become a kind of teacher or initiator into the ways of the world. May 19 people can well find inspiration in books or in works of art but until they meet a flesh-and-blood figure who takes an interest in them, they may be confused as to how they can best utilize their talents, or take their place in society.
And what are their natural gifts? First and foremost, their talent to communicate; second, a depth of charisma: third, an ability to convince friends, family members and colleagues of what the proper course of action is at any given time. For highly evolved persons born on this day eloquence is a powerful tool; for the less evolved it may merely manifest as glibness or superficiality. May 19 charm and persuasive talents can make for an extremely inspiring person or. in the worst case, a kind of con-artist.
There is a definite need for May 19 people to submit to some form of spiritual training in their lives, as well as a well-regulated social structure in which to operate. Sometimes overly concerned either for their own material security or that of others (often in a social sense), they can get caught up in a web of materialism. The most difficult thing for May 19 people is to avoid entanglements (perhaps of their own making) and remain free to move. This conflict between fixed commitments and a desire to be free can be the central struggle in their lives.
They must learn how to create freedom for themselves within the boundaries of responsible positions, otherwise they will face great frustration.
Power Thought:I am grateful and happy to be alive,There is mans time and there is God's time
Those born on the 19th day of the month are ruled by the number 1 (1+9=10, 1+0=1), and by the Sun. That May 19 people are born on the first day of the cusp of Energy, are ruled by the number 1, and have strong Sun influences means that they must not misdirect powerful energies, which can have disastrous effects on family and personal relationships. Those ruled by the number 1 like to be first, tend to be ambitious and dislike restraint. Though Taurus is ruled by Venus, by this time in May, the mercurial influences of Gemini are beginning to be felt; thus May 19 people should beware of relying too much on mental powers and of being flighty and emotionally labile. Learning how to quiet themselves internally and externally is important for those born on this day.
The 19th card of the Major Arcana is The Sun. It can be considered the most favorable of all the Major Arcana cards, and symbolizes knowledge, vitality and good fortune. It does, however, suggest negative traits of pride, vanity and false appearance.
☆Luck maker:(Be grateful in the present)Focus on what is good about your life right now because gratitude, along with a positive outlook, is the prerequisite for a lucky and a happy life.
You’re drawn to people born on August 24 to September 23:You both desire security and independence in a relationship, and this can be a fulfilling and creative union.
People born on May 19 have a great deal of charisma, and there will be no shortage of admirers. Problems may arise, however, when social status, popularity or appearance govern their choice of partner rather than their heart. It is important for them to examine their motives for becoming overly concerned with their own material status and that of others.
People born on this day have a wild streak about them and as a result can be accident prone. They need to be cautious when it comes to sports and exercise, and also when traveling. This doesn’t mean, however, that they should avoid exercise. Quite the opposite, as exercise is essential for these energetic people and without it they can become stressed or depressed. It just means they should listen to their bodies and not push themselves or take unnecessary risks. As far as diet is concerned, they may be among those fortunate people who can eat what they like but if they aren’t getting plenty of exercise, eating five or six lighter meals and snacks a day instead of two or three big meals will help keep their weight under control. Herbal infusions, such as chamomile tea, are highly recommended to help them relax and should be preferred to caffeine, which they tend to consume in excess.
Those born on May 19 must guard against their destructive energies causing injury to themselves or others. Often those born on this day encounter serious physical difficulties early in life, and can overcome them only through strength of character. Unfortunately, May 19 people are accident-prone, and should therefore exercise caution when engaging in spons and intensely physical activities, and of course when driving or traveling. Physical exercise is crucial to the health of May 19 people, for their highly energetic nature demands it. Neglecting this need can lead to all sorts of discomforts, mostly stress-related. If seeking harmony in their lives, those born on this day should recognize the disruptive effect of a poor diet.
These people thrive in careers in which they can motivate, inform and inspire, such as education, politics and the caring professions. Their original mind may also draw them into careers in philosophy or scientific research, and humanitarian aspirations may steer them toward social reform or religion. Their way with words may express itself through speaking, writing, singing, or the world of entertainment in general.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to use their persuasive talents wisely. Once they have learned to strike a balance between their own needs and the benefits of others, their destiny is to become a representative for their peers and perhaps their generation.
Sometimes leave others to their own devices; don't be so controlling. Follow what is best in you and allow yourself freedom. When you feel your temperature rise, put some distance between yourself and what is bothering you, try not to overreact. Let go of your attachments at least once in your life.
