People born on May 2 have a no-nonsense approach to life, believing in results not theories. Although others admire them for their intellectual gifts and ability to organize their original thoughts with logical coherence, they do have a tendency to express themselves bluntly. Fiercely honest, they don’t ever set out to wound others as they are naturally inclined toward cooperation and harmony; they simply believe that the best way to effect improvement is to tell others exactly how it is.
These people are blessed with inquisitiveness and great insight into the workings of the human mind. It’s not easy to fool them and they don’t believe in pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes. They will be respected for their intelligence and honesty but their bluntness may sometimes come across as insensitivity, earning them unnecessary enemies. They should use their intelligence and insight into human nature to avoid this. They also should avoid gossiping; even though this is not fueled by malice but more by their natural curiosity, it can upset others. Respecting the privacy of others is important between the ages of nineteen and forty-nine, during which there is an emphasis on communication and exchanging ideas. After the age of forty-nine they may feel the growing importance of getting in touch with their own feelings as well as those of others.
As perfectionists, they often shine in whatever task is set them and motivate others to emulate their fantastic organizational skills. Although they can work well in a team, they are at their most productive when they are making an individual contribution. This desire to work alone can cross over to their personal life; and their private life is exactly that—private. Despite their reticence, they are at their happiest when they feel supported by friends and family.
These people are, above all, intelligent and caring; if they can listen to the honest advice they give others and apply it to themselves, they have the potential to achieve outstanding success, whatever path in life they choose.
☆ On the dark side：Tactless, demanding, workaholic
☆ At your best：Generous, ambitious, realistic
Those born on May 2 exhibit a special interest in human development— in every- manifestation from youth to old age. They are not shy about expressing their ideas on a variety of subjects concerning people, ideas which are well thought out and for the most part forever fixed in their minds. May 2 people are difficult to fool; they have a canny insight into human psychology and thought processes.
Those born on this day tend to be authoritative types who lay down the law for their family or social circle. As far as their work is concerned, if possible, they may choose to be self-employed, as they don't specialize in the fine art of getting along with others. Although they do not rate high on diplomacy, May 2 people will usually be respected for their outspoken and forthright attitudes. One temptation for them is to indulge in gossip and pry into the affairs of others. This is mostly out of curiosity rather than malevolence. Not surprisingly, they are sensitive to gossip directed their way.
As mentioned. May 2 people may choose careers that involve little social contact, from solitary arts to trades, transport or farming, but they often pass part of their spare time with their own unique way of studying people. Most May 2 people are analytical rather than creative, objective rather than subjective, and intelligent rather than intuitive. Once they are on to a particular subject or activity they're like a dog with a bone, and will usually drive an argument about as far as it can possibly go.
A problem for many May 2 people is a lack of tact and a tendency to be abrasive in speech. This may not only antagonize people but make real enemies who can cause serious trouble. May 2 people should use their intelligence and understanding of human psychology to cultivate diplomacy, as it will lead to greater success in all areas of life.
Those born on May 2 tend to be perfectionists. They are able to take practical plans and implement them most efficiently. Good at organization, they get a great amount done working on their own, sometimes even more than could be accomplished by a whole team. The desire to be alone can in some cases extend to their personal lives as well; but generally, after a hard day's work they enjoy luxuriating in the warmth of a family situation. As parents, those born on this day must beware of overguiding and dominating the early lives of their children.
May 2 people really have to learn to let go, not only of any fixed ideas about child-rearing but also of their possessiveness toward their offspring.
May 2 people pursue hobbies and crafts with the same keen analytic skill employed in their work. Good with their hands, they are clever at fashioning toys for their children, installing gadgets in their homes or selecting and arranging home furnishings in a pleasing manner. Their love of beauty is apparent in whatever they do.
Power Thought：The more kind and gentle I am, the more positive energy I have，That which shatters the silence we call noise.That which enhances the silence we call music
Those born on the 2nd day of the month are ailed by the number 2 and by the Moon. The Moon's influence lends a romantic and imaginative nature to May 2 personalities (underlined by the influence of Venus, ruler of Tauais). Because of the objective, mental outlook of May 2 people, a conflict may arise with this more fanciful side. If a Number 2 person happens to also be a second child, he/she may be both protected and somewhat neglected, spared some of the strong emotions directed by the parents toward the first born but also forced to take a subordinate role to the older sibling. The suitability of those ruled by the number 2 for partnership is here best applied to marriage rather than career.
The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated on her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering us with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion: negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference and inertia.

They may choose to mask this by behavior that is controlling, smothering or self-sacrificing. They often fall for the underdog or people with problems, but to feel fulfilled in a relationship they need to aim for a 50/50 partnership in which both partners give and take equally.
People born on this day need to be careful that they don’t work themselves too hard in their quest to achieve results as this will cause them stress and damage their personal relationships. As important as their work is to them, they will be more productive if they learn to identify less with it and seek out opportunities to explore other interests. Regular vacations or time off work are a must and they should resist the tendency to work through their holiday. As far as diet is concerned, they need to make sure they eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables and get their mood-boosting essential fats from oily fish, nuts, and seeds. Regular exercise is essential, and they will find walking or jogging particularly beneficial. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color yellow will encourage them to feel more optimistic and self-confident.
Those born on May 2 should beware of driving themselves too hard through perfectionism, causing psychological stress to themselves and those around them. They must guard against headaches, sore throats and anxiety. It will be helpful for them to expend energy in gardening and to staicture a diet around fresh faiits, vegetables and grains. Only moderate exercise is recommended for May 2 people, with plenty of rest included. Vacations may be hard to fit into a demanding work schedule, but should be taken regularly, if possible. Such respites will pay dividends in increased energy levels upon return. Maintaining emotional stability and calm is the supreme health test for those born on May 2,
These people have a marked potential for success in the technical side of the caring professions, such as medicine or scientific research, but also in advertising, media and writing and acting. Social reform, building and management will also appeal, but in whatever field they choose to specialize, their luck and opportunities will often come through work.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to become more aware of the impact their words and deeds can have on others. Once they have become more self-aware, their destiny is to work for the common good.
