People born in this season, on May 5, carry the temperament of Taurus (April 20 – May 20). Even among people who share a birthday, how each person feels and what each excels at differs. On this page, we read through their personality, talents, and the things connected to them, one by one.
Birth Flower
Your birth flower is the Anemone. In the language of flowers, it means "Expectation & Sincerity." Like that flower, the charm of people born on this day quietly draws in those around them. Bringing flowers into your daily life brightens the air of the day a little. Recalling the flower's meaning can be a chance to reconnect with who you are.
Birthstone
Emerald. A stone symbolizing good fortune, hope and love. Its deep green is said to bring peace to the heart. Keeping your birthstone close by can be a gentle reminder of who you are.
Birth Color
Madder Red. Weaving it into small accessories or things you wear can help steady your state of mind. Simply being aware of a color can make it easier to shift your mood.
Personality
You are patient and faithful to your word. Once you decide on something, you see it through, however long it takes. Your warm, steady presence puts the people around you at ease.
You have rich senses and an honest, grounded nature. Without flashiness, you steadily build real skill and knowledge. You treasure comfortable spaces and relationships.
People born amid the turning of the seasons also carry the flexibility to enjoy change. In new environments, too, you can settle in by making the most of your own character.
The strength of people born on this day is that they combine a distinctly Taurus-like tenacity with thoughtfulness toward others. To make the most of that strength, what matters most is continuing at a pace that never strains you. Working together with the people around you leads to even greater fruit.
Your Birthday in Numbers
Adding up all the digits of your birthday (0+5+0+5=10) leads, in the end, to the number 1. 1 is the number of beginnings and leaders. You carry the power to cut your own path by your own will, and the momentum to start things. This number is a clue for reading the habits in how people born on this day act, and how they approach things. Keep your birthday number quietly in mind as a signpost for moments when you're unsure.
Ruling Planet
Your ruling planet is Venus, the planet of beauty and abundance. It is said to grant a gift for enjoying life through the five senses, and the power to nurture things of lasting value. By being aware of your ruling planet's power, you can see more clearly how to make the most of your strengths. Spending your days mindful of your ruling planet's theme makes it easier to return to your own pace.
What You Love — and What You Find Hard
You delight in good food, beautiful music and scenery, and unhurried, peaceful time. Calm moments with people you trust nourish your heart.
On the other hand, Sudden changes and unsettled environments can be a little trying. When your own pace is disrupted, it is easy to feel thrown off balance. In difficult situations, what matters is not pushing yourself, and protecting your own pace.
Love & Relationships
You offer the person you love a steady, stable warmth. You prefer relationships that grow surely rather than quickly. A bond that feels safe is the kind that lasts for you. Valuing your partner's feelings while honestly sharing your own is the key to deepening the relationship.
Work & Talents
You have a strong eye for quality and finish whatever is entrusted to you. In a workplace you can stay with for the long term, your experience itself becomes trust. By building on what you're good at, one thing at a time, trust from those around you grows naturally.
