May Fourth

May Fourth



The day of nurturing support



Those born on May 4 are destined to impart to others what they have learned through study or experience. Whether they teach formally in a school or not, they will pass on the ins and outs of their field expertise to those who work with them or seek them out for coaching advice. Although they may appear mild-mannered, May 4 people have a magnetic power which frequently lands them in positions of responsibility. Rather than being leaders, however, they should seek to be part of a team.

One of the legacies of this day is a propensity for risk-taking. Many May 4 people do not discover this tendency until late in life when they feel a pressing need to change in order to further their spiritual growth. May 4 people seem anything but compulsive—in their calm often conservative appearance they belie the gambler within. Their risk-taking need not be physical, but rather a daring to dream, have new ideas or break the mold. At some point in life they will have to confron tthis challenge.

Again, because of a mild, pleasing exterior, May 4 people may be mistaken for an easy touch. They are, however, strong enough inside to withstand exploitation and also possessed of tremendous stubbornness and a severe temper. Thus May 4 people are not always what they seem. Although tractable, diplomatic and agreeable in most situations, they can dig in their heels and refuse to budge over important issues. Their ideals are extremely dear to them and rarely compromised.

May 4 people have an inner stability and nurturing nature which attracts those seeking guidance and support. Therefore, they must beware of devoting all of their time to others (family, friends) or investing their entire personality in the basement of an organization or cause. They may be quite happy doing so, but after so many years of dedication can come to resent such responsibilities and long to be free.

Those born on this day generally handle retirement well, as it is a period of time in which they are at last free to attend to personal interests. May 4 people aree often late bloomers, perhaps daring to make one single life change (in their forties or even fifties) which will bring them success and happiness they never thought possible.

May 4 people are dependable and there to help. Their statements are made less through words than through example as they believe strongly in manifesting their beliefs in action. Sensible and down-to-earth, those born on this day are happiest when at home, creating a beautiful atmosphere in which to live.

Numbers and Planets


Thos eborn on the 4th of the month are ruled by the number 4 and the planet Uranus, which is both erratic and explosive. SInce Mya 4 people are usually calm and level-headed, they keep uranian influences under control, and create a venusian (Taurus) love of beauty and harmony. However, people ruled by the number 4 have unique viewpoints and methods. Because they so often take a minority point of view with great self-assurance, they can arouse antagonism and make enemies, often secret ones. Though people ruled by the number 4 typically rebel against rules and regulations, those born on May 4 generally manage to do so in a gracious and diplomatic manner.

Tarot


The 4th card of the Major Arcana is The Emperor, who rules over concrete and worldly things through wisdom, the primary source of his power. The Emperor is stable and wise; the force of his authority cannot be questioned. The positive aspects of this card are strong willpower and steadfast energy; unfavorable qualities include stubbornness, tyranny, and brutality.

Health


Those born on May 4 must guard against energy depletion, often a result of the excessive demands of others. Regular eating and sleeping patterns are necessary for maintaining health and happiness. Raising childrenis often of great importance to those born on this day and the highest expression of nurturing talents. All forms of beauty have a highly positive influence on the health of May 4 people; deprived of it in their surroundings, they will suffer physically as well as psychically. Due to their Taurean love of food, those born on this day have to control their appetites; they can gain weight in a short period of time if they let themselves go. Mild forms of exercise such as walking and gardening are good for them. May 4 people must take pecial care of their vocal chords, particularly if speaking or singing is part of their profession.

Advice


Avoid being self-sacrificing; pay more attention to your own needs. Have faith in the abilities of your children or dependents to go it alone. Don't worry so much about your image to the world; express what you feel. Remember that you won't get anywhere without daring to fail.
