Although exceptionally self-disciplined, those born on May 11 refuse to be constrained by others’ narrow rules and regulations or ideas and ideals. Fiercely independent in both thought and deed, they also have a burning desire to discover the world’s truths for themselves, an inherent compulsion that inevitably causes them to reject the mores of conventional beliefs and behavior patterns.
Their questing and imaginative intellectual quali- ties are typically supplemented by outstanding pow- ers of perception, methodical attention to detail, true originality and stubborn tenacity when investigating or defining concepts that fascinate May 11 people. And, although they are naturally attracted to abstract ideas and are therefore suited to academic or technical research, these are sensitive individuals, whose inter- est in every aspect of the human condition endows them with feelings of considerable empathy, which may impel them to pursue careers in the judiciary or politics.
In their interpersonal relationships, their human- itarian concern and appreciation of individual- ity makes them remarkably tolerant of extreme or eccentric behavior. Coupled with their inherent gifts of intuition, protectiveness and loyalty, they make gifted parents, who encourage the natural enthu- siasm and inquisitiveness of their children. They appreciate that a stable domestic life provides the best background for their more radical propensities. Their professional relationships, however, may be less harmonious, since they have a tendency to alienate more conventional souls.
