May 17 VS Taurus, 8, Ambitious campaigner
It’s hard to avoid failure when you set your sights so impossibly high. For this reason, one of your biggest challenges is going to be learning to be more realistic about your humanitarian and campaigning goals; otherwise, you’re going to end up feeling very dispirited. You are far more interested in improving the lot of others than your own but, at some point, you are going to learn that no amount of sheer willpower is enough to remove the stubborn obstacles in your path. Set your sights a little lower and build, over time, to the goals on a grander scale that fire your determination. You are caring and creative, and so may find a good career fit working with a charity whose causes you support and deploying the arts to raise awareness of what needs to change and why. You are a people-pleaser so would also enjoy working as a festival organiser or even financial advisor; anything where you can go home at the end of a day feeling you’ve made a positive difference to someone’s life. As a mate, you understand the value of a stable and loving home life and have no problem making or keeping a strong commitment to your chosen partner.
The most obvious trait of those whose birthdays fall on May 17 is their determination. A self-starter with a plan, you've probably known fron1 an early age what you want to accomplish and how to go about it. Unlike some members of your Sun sign, you're not particularly concerned with other people's opinions of your actions. You run right up and grab the bull by the horns without waiting for permission or approval from anyone. Honesty is your touchstone. Despite your charming manner and winning personality, you're not known for tact. You prefer saying exactly what you're thinking and letting the chips fall where they will.
People celebrating their birthdays on this date have an eye for quality and a sensible approach to finances that insures material security. Business is your forte, and you know how to commercialize your talents and use them to the best advantage. You are a born executive with a gift for organization and a firm, take-charge manner. As a shrewd judge of character, you know which of your associates can be trusted and depended on to get the job done.
In an intimate union, you make a loving, reliable, and discerning partner. You're naturally bull-headed, however, and at times you can be quite demanding. You know exactly what you want in a mate or lover, and you're not willing to settle for less.
The Tower:This card represents the collapse of your ambitious plans, but only if you don’t scale them back to a more realistic level. There’s a fire raging from the top of this building and we see those who can throwing themselves out of the windows to either safety or death. It’s a risky strategy and one you would do well to heed. Stop throwing yourself and your energies either into the inferno of inevitable failure, or out of one disaster and straight into another. Instead, set yourself some more realistic humanitarian goals and then use your prodigious energy and innovative ways of thinking to achieve them.
