Although their enormous sensitivity bestows upon them the capacity to have deep feelings and compassion for those who are less fortunate, it is the realm of abstract ideas rather than of interpersonal relationships that really excites May 14 individuals. Thus while they may be found devising strategies for alleviating global human suffering, it is the excitement engendered by the challenge that stimulates them, rather than the end result of their labors.
Their marked—often extreme—powers of imag- ination instill in May 14 people an enthusiasm for exploring new concepts and techniques, a trait which is backed up extremely effectively by their great intel- lectual and intuitive perceptiveness, their steadfast commitment to the mastery of detail, and their obsti- nate refusal to concede defeat. Such qualities often indicate particular success in the realm of science, for example in information technology, or in the social sciences, although they also have an innate talent for such artistic pursuits as music, drama, literature and painting, too.
Such an overriding commitment to the world of ideas is usually the mark of the introvert and, while those born on May 14 may indeed sometimes appear to be solitary and obsessive types, their interest and concern for their coworkers, friends, partners and relations, combined with their sense of humor and healthy appreciation of pleasure and beauty typically give them strong interpersonal roots that ground them in the real world. Their knack for problem-solving, dependability and kindly attitude frequently encour- age others to seek their advice.
