Born on May 17

Taurus

When the pressure’s on, you stay calm, dignified and completely solid. There’s still time for a perfectly dry joke.

Nothing much rattles them. In a crisis they slow down, think a few moves ahead and calmly do the next sensible thing while everyone else catches up.

May 17 gives them a calm self-assurance and real discipline: once they commit to a plan, they see it through, rising steadily as they go and bringing their people with them.

They’re faithful to their friends and generous with their time, and a slow dinner with them comes with excellent advice and at least one wickedly dry remark.
