BORN ON THE 17th OF MAY

May 17th is the day of the limit. Individuals born on May 17th perceive life in a fundamental way, with the desire to return to origins.

Those born on this day are always making declarations. They can be simple in some cases and in other cases can be full of deepest meaning, whether artistic, economic or political. Natives’ refusal to have contact with any unnecessary complication or make a compromise about their concepts, demonstrates the unusual honour with which they treat life.

Those born on this day are not known for their tact. Normally they say what they think, whether it suits them or others. This attitude draws opposition and gains the sympathy of others. Natives do so as to reduce problems avoiding unnecessary complications. However, it seems that the opposite always happens. Controversies revolve around these people although they want to be left alone. The natives are not silent, but do not exaggerate telling their opinions. They prefer to give their thoughts as they are. It can be difficult to make these people be open emotionally. But if it is someone they trust they will be very honest in terms of their feelings. The issue of trust is very important to them, and such natives can not be earned easily. People born on May 17th should not be so suspicious and give a little credit to others and their good intentions.

Those born on this day tend to be very proud, refusing to ask someone for help. They are usually loners, preferring to do everything on their own. Even if they do not confess it, the natives have a great need for affection, especially emotional support from friends and family. Behind these cold images and distant attitude is a hidden emotional side that can be as gentle as a kitten or as wild as a captive beast who wants to be released. People born on May 17th should avoid using hallucinogenic substances or drugs that affect the mind, as they will result in unleashing the most destructive emotions.

The zeal of those born on May 17th may be so great sometimes that it can be considered fanatical. Their power of concentration is extremely high, their desire to succeed is remarkable, but health and perseverance often disappear along the way. More evolved natives learn to channel their energy and no longer waste it, thus managing to be happy and proud of themselves.

Sometimes, those born on this day feel frustrated for most of their lives, deeply disappointed by what they do in order to make a living, and getting repulsed from it. They must either accept their situation or even enjoy it, or to change their appearance or occupation focusing their attention on other horizons. It is unlikely that natives be forward-looking and choose optimal situation with finality. For this reason, once they started off, they go all the way, regardless of what that would be. The only challenge for these natives is the power to enjoy.

Tips
