Born on May 1

Taurus

When everyone’s still deciding, you’ve already made the call. By lunch the right tools are out and the thing is fixed properly.

Their workbench, or kitchen table, or whatever surface they’re fixing things on, is the tidiest spot in the house, and the broken things that land there leave mended.

They come at problems from a new angle, too. May 1 makes them original and decisive: they’ll see the fix nobody else spotted, settle on it and have it done before lunch.

They’re easy in their own company and patient with good work, happy to spend a whole afternoon getting one small thing exactly right. Leave them to it, then admire it loudly.

A gift idea for someone born on May 1

A loaf you baked yourself and a pot of good butter, for a long lunch break at the bench where they mend things.
