People born on May 7 are a curious mixture of inward-looking spirituality and outward-orientated concern with personal image. Although they are able to recognize that the most important values are non-materialistic, they also have a great desire to make an impression on others. This combination of inner and outer expectation is, however, in keeping with their quest for absolute perfection in all areas of their lives.
As well as being deeply sensitive and compassionate, they are also elegant and gifted communicators who can inspire others with their ideals. Often devoted to these ideals, they are willing to give them every ounce of their mental, physical and spiritual energy. This can develop into a tendency to give too much of themselves, but most of them are self-aware enough to know where and when to draw the line. They should ensure they retain a sense of perspective in their twenties, thirties and early forties, when there is an emphasis on change, communication and learning new skills. After the age of forty it is vital for them not to lose a sense of self, because this is a turning point when they are likely to focus more on emotional relationships, family and their instinctual understanding of others’ needs.
It is their search for perfection, however, that best defines these people. There is always a danger that this will manifest in unrealistic fantasies and expectations, and they need to focus on making some of their high ideals a workable reality. Materially, their intelligence and drive will help them succeed; making money is not a problem for them, although—because they like enjoying and sharing the good things in life—keeping it sometimes is.
As far as spiritual or inner goals are concerned, they have to come to terms with the fact that finding their spirituality or inner meaning will be a lifelong mission. They should use their natural intuition to get in touch with their wisdom and creativity which, if allowed to express themselves freely, will be able to satisfy their deepest yearnings for fulfillment.
☆ On the dark side：Unrealistic, frustrated, superficial
☆ At your best：Refined, discerning, dedicated
May7 people are usually of a devotional nature. They will give their last drop of blood to a cause they support, whether religious, spiritual, artistic or social.
Although they are not overly concerned with money, they have a good feeling for material things and enjoy possessions that lend pleasure to their lives. Perhaps because they do not strive to amass riches, they often attract gifts, inheritances or solid rewards from their idealized pursuits. Less highly evolved people born on this day are satisfied with such possessions; more highly evolved May 7 people progress from the material to the spiritual plane, often winding up far from where they began life. Sometimes the goals of those born on this day are of a religious nature but even the most mental or atheistic of May 7 people will imbue their logic with an intense devotion.
A love of beauty, particularly of music, is evident on this day; venusian sensibilities are as likely to produce as appreciate a beautiful voice or sensuous body. Whatever materials May 7 individuals work with will be endowed with sensuality—whether shapes, colors, interior designs, sounds or words.
Women born on this day can be overly self-eftacing and self-sacrificing. They often manifest frustrations and suppressed emotions in nervous conditions and anxiety. Because they are aware of this weakness, however, they are capable of perfecting themselves, and subsequently becoming calm, balanced and self-possessed. Men born on this day who have suppressed drives and desires usually manage to fulfill their needs, but may do so through great struggle rather than through evolving as people.
Outstanding May 7 personalities will move with easy grace and dignity, inspiring confidence in others. They are incisive and very much to the point, not liking to waste time or beat around the bush. They tend to be loners, enjoying limited social contact and preferring the comfort and security of their own home. As fathers and mothers, they will take the job of parenting seriously, giving their children what they need both emotionally and materially.
May 7 people are usually self-taught. They tend to teach, therefore, more by example than by precept, not hesitating to throw the book away if it doesn't work. In essence, those born on this day are very much traditionalists, and therefore typically conservative in their orientation; they study tradition, most often independently, in order to master their field and give a solid underpinning to what they do. Whether formal or informal in their approach to life, those born on this day are extremely sensitive people who specialize in guarding their emotions and, if successful, sublimating them in their life's work. The key for them is to harness this emotion without it becoming blocked or suppressed.

Those born on the 7th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune. Because Neptune is the watery planet ruling visions, dreams and psychic phenomena, those ruled by the number 7 must guard against losing touch with reality. This is doubly true for May 7 people since the influence of Venus (ruler of Taurus) on Neptune can make them ultra-romantic and impressionable. Those ruled by the number 7 typically like change and travel, and this may create conflict for those born on May 7, who need to be close to their established base of operations.
The 7th card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a triumphant figure moving through the world, manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. This card can symbolize riding a fine line between polarities, in which balance and keeping to the path are of the utmost importance. The good side of this card posits success, talent and efficiency; the bad side suggests a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.
☆Luck maker：(Get to know yourself better)If you want to attract luck into your life, then you need to start with self-awareness. Only when you know what makes you happy and unhappy can you start making positive changes.
You’re drawn to people born on February 20 to March 20：You share a passion for commitment and mental stimulation, and this can create a passionate and fulfilling union.
People born on May 7 have a deep need to experience a spiritual union but a part of them may doubt if this is possible with another human being. They need to remain open to the fact that it can be. Their ideal mate is likely to be intelligent and creative, with a deep hunger for a spiritual dimension in their lives.
People born on this day must strive to achieve balance in all areas of their lives as they are prone to neglect themselves for the sake of others or for the demands of work. If they don’t take care of themselves and give themselves regular periods of rest and relaxation, they will suffer from stress, anxiety and—in extreme cases—depression. They do have a tendency to gain weight, especially around the waist during midlife, but this can be easily remedied by healthy eating and daily exercise. In fact exercise is highly therapeutic for these people, as long as they don’t take it to extremes and push their bodies too hard. Regular meditation and spiritual or religious pursuits are also important for their mental and emotional health and well-being. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color green will encourage them to take better care of themselves and keep a sense of balance and perspective.
Those born on May 7 must bring the poles of their nature—mental and emotional, the spiritual and physical—into balance early in life. Their struggle to do so may manifest in stress and a nervous system which can go out of kilter. Later in life, as those born on this day come to accept who they are, they will find peace. With advancing age, physical exercise remains of great importance, but meditation, a balanced diet and spiritual or religious pursuits also provide healthy influences on the body. May 7 people do have to guard against letting their bodies go as they get older, not out of abuse but rather neglect, as their concerns are with other matters. Music serves as a very effective therapy for those born on this day.
People born on this day have excellent communication skills and the potential to excel in the artistic sphere, not just as poets, composers and writers, but as spiritual or even political evangelists. Other careers that might appeal include advertising, business, art dealership, education, and social or humanitarian reform.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to understand their inner conflicts better. Once they are more self-aware, their destiny is to put their high ideals and devotion to good use by making the world a more beautiful place.
Accept yourself as you are. Focus less on the past and attend to the next phase. Don't get carried away by your beliefs. Take rests periodically: let up a bit in your demands.
