People born on May 9 may appear calm and steady on the surface, but to those who know them well they radiate energy and drive. They possess a clear-cut sense of morality and fair play, and are compelled to place themselves in the role of reformer, protester or activist if they witness any kind of injustice or abuse.
Above all, their desire is to be a support to those who are less fortunate or to play a part in highlighting their cause or reversing their fortunes. Occasionally, they have such a strong sense of honor that they seem to belong to a more civilized age. When responding to a humanitarian cause or championing the rights of the oppressed, they draw on their powers of compassion, steadfastness and courage which may have developed as a result of hardships or difficulties they have struggled to overcome in their past, perhaps in their childhood or teenage years. Until the age of forty-two there is an emphasis on sudden changes of direction and this may involve learning through struggle and setback; but after the age of forty-three life tends to get easier for them and they can concentrate on security, both emotional and financial.
Because people born on this day are so committed to their progressive visions, they can find it hard to forgive the failings of others, expecting them to live up to their own lofty standards. When they do experience disappointment or disillusionment at home or at work, they can astonish with their sudden flashes of temper. It is important for them to learn to manage their anger, because all the support and respect their charisma, focus and persuasive power may have gathered can vanish in an instant when their temperamental tendencies surge to the fore.
Once they learn to be more flexible and to respond in more constructive ways when they see something that upsets them, their success, and more important to them the success of the ideals they believe in, are virtually guaranteed.
☆ On the dark side：Temperamental, unforgiving, naïve
☆ At your best：Ethical, honorable, fair
Those born on May 9 carry a sense of fairness that makes their word dependable and usually holds others to their promises as well. Without personal assurances of justice and fair play, life would have little meaning for them. Moreover, they have the courage to fight, even to give their lives for what they believe is right. To support or even establish a cause comes naturally to these committed and often driven people.
A good part of the problem that May 9 people invariably encounter involves their being carried away by ideas, causes or personal goals and not planning realistically. Indeed, many May 9 people hold unrealistic expectations. Even when an objective is patently unattainable, still it is difficult for them to give up. Ultimately, there may be self-destructive urges at work, a particular hallmark of more unevolved individuals born on this day. All May 9 people must learn to increase their effectiveness by occasionally letting go of idealistic hopes and learning to see things as they really are.
Regardless of their physical appearance, which may be diminutive or delicate, May 9 people radiate a power which cannot be ignored. Yet rarely will they be openly aggressive; their strength lies in defense, including the defense of others who need help or protection.
Those born on this day are persuasive and display a charisma that guarantees friends and supporters. However, one big problem they face is their anger, which can be terrible.
Associates, friends and family soon learn how these apparently quiet, reasonable people can react when their standards of fairness are breached, or if they are pushed too far. Sooner or later May 9 people will have to learn to control their tempers if only for the physical safety of those around them.
May 9 people are on the side of the underdog. They hate tyranny of any sort, whether from powerful individuals or institutions. If their moral standards are met, those born on this day will be generous, gentle and happy. If not, they can become overly intense, impatient or irritable. When they fix on something that upsets them, they can make family and friends unhappy. Thus, if they seek peace, they had better gravitate to lifestyles and occupations which allow them to work creatively and don't upset their moral nature. Yet there are those May 9 people who relish their role as reformer or protester and need struggle to feel fulfilled, regardless of the personal cost.
The Taurean love of beauty and nature is highly developed in May 9 people. When they keep their goals within reason, those born on this day actually display a fine sense of materials, both artistic and commercial, and a well-developed business acumen. May 9 people are not ones to waste their money or energy on flighty endeavors. They seek solid gains and results in everything they do. Their great challenge is one of self-control, essential for their success in the world.
Power Thought：I am ready to release myself from the habit of criticism，People generally shout at each other when they are far away
Those born on the 9th day of the month are ruled by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers (any number added to 9 yields that number: e.g., 5+9=14, 4+1=5; any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: 9x5=+5. 4+5=9). and May 9 people are similarly able to influence those around them. The planet Mars is forceful and posits male energy, but is here muted by Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, which carries female energy. Thus May 9 people may be less aggressive, perhaps preferring a position of comfortable repose. This Mars-Venus combination can also lend strongly magnetic sexual qualities to the May 9 person.
The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who walks carrying a lantern and a stick; he represents meditation, isolation and silence. The card signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. The Hermit is a taskmaster who uses conscience to keep others on their path. The positive side of this card is stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity, and concentration; negative meanings include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement. This card can serve as a model of self-control for May 9 people.

The charismatic individuals with strong convictions born on May 9 are never short of admirers. When they fall in love, however, it is for life, even if the relationship runs its course. They are fiercely protective of their partner and extremely generous and tactile but they need to make sure they take into account their partner’s feelings and don’t become too domineering.
People born on this day have temperamental tendencies and they need to make sure that this does not cause them to suffer injuries or stress-induced disorders such as fatigue and headaches. Self-control and learning to be more tolerant of the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of others will enhance all areas of their health. As far as diet is concerned, they should monitor their intake of sugar and alcohol, ensuring that they eat little and often to avoid bloodsugar imbalances and mood swings. Moderate to mild exercise is recommended, in particular non-competitive activities such as walking or dancing. They would also benefit greatly from mind-body therapies such as yoga, meditation and tai chi. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color blue will encourage them to be more objective and to stay cool, calm and in control.
Those born on May 9 must beware of martian influences, anger and recklessness, which can bring physical injuries and accidents. Because of their fearless nature and temper when roused, May 9 people may fail to recognize potential dangers of highly stressful situations. Learning to distance themselves from emotions, and be more accepting of imperfection will directly influence their health and happiness. Meditation, yoga or any therapy encouraging increased awareness, insight and self-control is recommended. May 9 diets should be kept low in strongly yang foods (like meat), but certain yin substances like sugar should also be limited. Vegetables and fruits, grains and fish are recommended.
These people have all the qualities they need to excel in careers in politics, law, acting, and the caring professions. Their undoubted charm could draw them toward people-orientated careers, such as promotions and sales and marketing, and their natural business sense and leadership could draw them toward management or to working for themselves.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to manage their emotions successfully. Once they are able to distance themselves emotionally from situations that provoke their anger, their destiny is to lead or inspire others with their passion and commitment.
Do your best to control that temper. Remember that others have the right to be the way they arc too. Let up a bit in the intensity of your judgments; this will make you and those around you much happier. Learn to be more forceful where you are too slack, less forceful where you are too rigid.
