Those born on May 3 are astute judges of character, utilizing their highly developed skills of intuition, perception and intellectual objectivity to make often extremely realistic assessments of others. They can also apply these interpersonal talents to collective human situations, thus giving them a profound understanding of the reasons underlying both individual behavior and group dynamics. They are driven by an almost scientific curiosity, and the nature of this inquisitiveness, together with the information they glean in the process, endows them with genuine concern for their fellow beings. Linked with the necessary emotional detachment, this equips them admirably to become psychologists, psychiatrists or counselors: careers as market researchers or advertising executives are also favored. Combined with their human awareness, their ability to think pragmatically additionally promises success in the political sphere.
Although those born on this day manifest a healthy hedonistic streak, which enables them to discard their professional personae and enjoy life to the full when appropriate, they may have difficulty in committing themselves to a single partner, a problem that derives from their inherent propensity to judge people with their head rather than their heart. While others are attracted to May 3 people for the fun that they gener- ate, as well as the sound advice that they proffer, those seeking more enduring relationships may be disap- pointed. Once strong emotional bonds are formed, however, these people remain steadfastly affectionate and caring toward those closest to them.
