Even though their manners are often gentle and reserved, those born on May 4 often have an easy charm and hypnotic sparkle that draws those to them who are seeking guidance, direction or support. Whatever situation they are in, they frequently end up in the position of teacher and guide, and rightly so; others have much to learn from them.
These people are acutely perceptive but not judgmental. Though they are affectionate and quick to perceive goodness in everyone, they possess a strong will-power and inner strength. These can sometimes translate into stubbornness, especially when their opinions or ideals are called into question. Because they appear calm and stable, people who need practical and emotional guidance will seek them out. It is therefore important for them not to become too self-denying.
Many of these people do find themselves giving a lot of themselves to others, particularly friends and family. This should not stop them following their own dreams, which could leave them resentful of their responsibility toward others. Their home life is likely to be very important to them but again they need to make sure that they don’t allow those closest to them to take over their lives completely.
They prefer to encourage or help others through deeds, and the example of dependability and compassion they set, rather than through words or theories. Their calm and common-sense approach to life earns them many fans but surprisingly there is a deep need within them to take more risks. They should not repress this need but confront it; when the time comes for them to make big changes—typically between the ages of seventeen and forty-seven, during which there is an emphasis on new directions—they need to make them. This will not damage their sense of responsibility or their sparkling reputation, it will enhance it, because to feel truly fulfilled, these perceptive, nurturing and inspiring individuals need to do more than dream about their hopes and ideals; they need to live them.
☆ On the dark side：Unfulfilled, stubborn, self-sacrificing
☆ At your best：Giving, supportive, warm

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.

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 confront this challenge.

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.

May 4 people have an inner stability and nurturing nature which attracts those seeking guidance and support.

Since May 4 people are usually calm and level-headed, they keep uranian influences under control, and cultivate 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.
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.
