Many of those who do not know them well can be bewildered by the apparent inconsistency of those born on this day: they can be enthusiastic about a new venture at one moment, and almost doctrinaire in their upholding of traditional values at the next. Similarly, their tendency to alternate between exuberant optimism and dark pessimism can make these people difficult to know and understand. Such seemingly conflicting patterns of behavior reflect their prodigious imaginative power, a gift that can have both positive and negative influences.
While their strong imagination endows May 31 people with enormous innovatory potential, it also bestows on them the ability to see all sides of an issue, thereby sometimes making them indecisive or reluctant to take potentially disastrous risks, instead opting for the safer, albeit more static, option. Yet once convinced of the veracity of a particular course of action, May 31 people will typically pursue it with directness and great capability, devising ingenuous means of overcoming any obstacles in their path, and gearing themselves toward influencing others by their work and vision.
Because they are independent in both thought and action, those born on this day fare best when uncon- strained by the rules and regulations of others. They are especially attracted to artistic pursuits, but may also find fulfillment when engaged in humanitarian work. They are generous of their time and attention in both their professional and personal relationships, provided, that is, that they do not feel trapped or sti- fled by the demands of others, a propensity that is particularly pronounced in the men born on this day.
