A bright, personable intelligence marks people who share your birthday as something special. Being a natural leader through enthusiasm and ability to shine, you have a way with people and are kind and very sociable. You are naturally gifted, and others see you as possessing common sense, charm, and self-assurance.
The influence of your Sun in the Capricorn decanate of Taurus suggests that prestige and self-respect are important to you. Retaining your dignity and able to work very hard, you usually take your responsibilities seriously. Having a natural understanding of money, you will probably prefer to budget and keep your accounts or business plans in order. Life’s luxuries, however, are still attractive to you, so you are likely to spend on beautiful things; just beware of overindulgence.
Having a natural dramatic sense, you like to surround yourself with people who are intelligent and communicative. Since you are verbally skilled, you will probably enjoy a good debate or witty repartee. With the ability to grasp concepts quickly, you like to be honest and direct, but you may have to guard against a tendency to become opinionated or obstinate.
If your big plans occasionally fail, there is a chance that you may end up feeling sorry for yourself, but this will not last long, as you are determined to overcome obstacles and succeed.
Around the second year of life, your progressed Sun passes into the sign of Gemini. This emphasizes that as a child you are a quick learner and have close links with brothers and sisters.

A turning point occurs at thirty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Cancer, identifying the significance of family links and a home base or center from which to build. From your early sixties, when the progressed Sun moves into Leo, your confidence increases and you are liable to become more outgoing and self-expressive.

The apparently limitless energy of those born on May 20, and their appetite for savoring new intellectual or sensory experiences, arouses both awe and exhaustion in others. The awe is inspired by the variety of interests that fascinate them, and the exhaustion by the relentless pace with which they seek out and explore novel ideas and situations. Yet despite the speed with which they move from subject to subject, from place to place, or from person to person, the knowledge that they gain is rarely superficial, for their quick wits and intuition enable them to process information into a coherent and remarkably accurate précis. When they encounter an area that truly absorbs them, and the humanitarian, philosophical or artistic spheres are especially propitious for those born on this day, they manifest a highly developed capacity for detailed investigation and a single-minded tenacity for its development and implementation.
Despite their apparently ceaseless quest for stimu- lation, these people are typically steadfast, supportive and loyal in their personal relationships, although they may initially find it hard to commit themselves to a life partner. Not only is the welfare and happiness of their nearest and dearest of paramount importance to these caring individuals, but they are furthermore blessed with an endearing joie de vivre, which has an enlivening effect on those around them. In return, the ties that they form with their long-standing friends and family members provide a grounding and sup- portive framework from which to launch themselves on their voyages of discovery.
