In common with many of their Taurean fellows, those intuitive people born on May 6 are acutely attuned to the emotions of others, and moreover often feel profound empathy with less fortunate individuals, who arouse a fiercely protective instinct in them. Whether or not their interest in humanity takes an active compassionate form, these people cannot help but be fascinated by the mechanics of the human psyche, seeking to understand what exactly it is that motivates others. And, because these are perceptive, articulate and logically thinking individuals, who feel compelled to pass on their wisdom to others, they typically make gifted and insightful problem-solvers, whose advice is frequently sought.
Given such inherently people-oriented talents and inclinations, they will usually find career fulfillment in the medical, psychiatric or caring professions, but they are also suited to politics and the arts, both areas in which they can utilize their sensitivity and urge to help humanity progress.
Despite the seriousness with which they apply themselves to their work, however, May 6 individu- als retain the capacity to enjoy the simpler things in life, perhaps instinctively appreciating that relaxation is a vital release from intellectual pressure. They typi- cally make deeply supportive and affectionate friends, partners and parents, whose marked sense of humor, infectious optimism and generosity draw others to them, particularly if they were also born in the Chi- nese year of the horse.
