In comparison to those who find it a struggle to attain their ideals, those born on May 13 appear to breeze through life, effortlessly notching up success after success, charming others in the process. And indeed, these are undeniably gifted people who are able to harmonize their often contradictory personal qualities to produce a remarkably effective holistic package. Thus while their great intellectual curiousity stimulates them to think and act independently, their enormous sensitivity and intuitive perspicacity makes them extremely receptive to the people and circumstances that surround them. Similarly, while many May 13 people manifest a profoundly serious sense of purpose when engaged in tasks that truly absorb them, their inherent earnestness is balanced by their infectious and enthusiastic enjoyment of life. Although their multitude of interests may lead them to consider a variety of careers in the professional spheres, their artistic aptitude marks them out for particular success in this realm.
Their skills and people-oriented approach generally make these people valued team members—both at work and within the family—and they typically dis- play a remarkable level of affection and loyalty to their nearest and dearest, whose lives they seek to enrich while simultaneously assuming a supportive and protective role. Yet because May 13 individuals, and especially the men born on this day, respond so imme- diately to the stimulus of an exciting challenge, they may occasionally appear to be somewhat flighty, pre- ferring to investigate an alluring new passion rather than sticking doggedly to a less attractive, but perhaps more critical, option.
