The steadfast kindness and dependability of those born on this day marks them out as people to whom others turn for support and encouragement in times of difficulty. When asked to advise upon problems, they typically muster their prodigiously practical talents to devise realistic and positive solutions and then devote their energies wholeheartedly toward implementation. Although they harbor extremely strong convictions, which are generally informed by their sense of natural justice, they pass on their opinions to others with a judicious use of tact, tailoring the manner in which they impart their ideas without ever compromising the essence of their beliefs. Such pragmatism, when combined with their humanitarian concern and idealism, suits those born on May 19 to a number of people-oriented careers, including politics, teaching and the caring professions, and, indeed, they will usually only find true satisfaction in work involving interpersonal contact.
These individuals will similarly assume a central role in their private lives, acting as rocks of stability and reliability around which their more flighty friends and relations flit back and forth, always returning for support. Two dangers are thus presented: that these people’s sense of responsibility, protective urge and commitment to those nearest to them may sometimes cause them to suppress their own needs and desires in the interests of others; and that unless they are also able to pursue their personal interests their frus- trated desire for independence may find a somewhat destructive outlet in the control of those around them.
