Athose who enjoy stable and harmonious interpersonal relationships, it might seem strange that those born on this day often upset others with their propensity to express themselves bluntly. Yet these honest individuals do not consciously set out to wound others, it is just that, as acutely perceptive people possessed of an almost clinical fascination with what makes others tick, they tend to reach logical conclusions unclouded by emotional complications and then to voice their findings with undiplomatic objectivity. Such people- oriented qualities of curiosity and interest, as well as their tenacious determination to effect improvement, bestow upon May 2 individuals a marked potential for success not only in the more technical of the caring professions, such as medicine and scientific research, but also in social campaigning.
In the domestic sphere, these people long to cre- ate steady and enduring ties of affection and greatly value the bonds that they form with their family and friends. They are often extremely gregarious types who are stimulated by social gatherings and relish seeing others enjoying themselves, yet they will also derive profound pleasure from being alone with nature—a predilection that often makes them inspired gar- deners. They have a dangerous tendency, however, to apply their own standards to their nearest and dearest, expecting them to unquestioningly conform to their mores: thus they may themselves generate the sort of confrontational situations that they abhor by engen- dering a clash of wills. It is vital, therefore, that they should learn to relax their high, albeit well-meaning, expectations of others.
