Born on May 15

Your sign: Taurus ♉

A May 15 birthday lands in Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20), the fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. On the 15th of May the Sun travels near the 26th degree of Taurus, late in the sign's month-long season - day 26 of the Taurus year. You build slowly and keep what you build, which is why your friendships tend to be measured in decades. Change gets past you only after it has made a proper appointment and shown its references.

Your decan

Each sign spans three decans, and the 15th of May falls in the 3rd decan of Taurus, the stretch tradition co-rules through Capricorn and its planet Saturn. A Capricorn undercurrent gives this stretch its spine - the part of you that shows up on the days motivation does not.

Your birthday number: 6

Your birth day number is small arithmetic with long consequences, a single digit or two quietly doing sums beneath your personality. Born on the 15th, you carry the birthday number 6. Care is your first language, spoken fluently through soup on doorsteps and the exact right blanket at the exact right moment. Beauty matters to you in a practical way, since a well-set table and a tended garden are both forms of love. Generosity comes standard with a birthday on the 15th, along with a magnetic sort of homemaking charm. Loved ones orbit you naturally, drawn by the promise of good food, honest counsel, and a genuinely comfortable chair.

The season you arrived in

Your birthday arrives wrapped in lilac and cut grass, during the long evenings when the whole neighborhood suddenly remembers it has a porch. Arriving when the world is at its most generous - May graduations, garden beds, open windows - quietly trains you to expect abundance and to share it without keeping score. Layer that over a yin earth sign and you get the particular May 15 blend: the season sets the stage, the sign does the talking.

In love

Run the classic match arithmetic for a May 15 birthday - element against element, aspect against aspect - and Taurus's easiest romances point toward Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus. For friendship the same arithmetic tilts toward Cancer. Treat the list as a head start rather than a verdict - plenty of the zodiac's best marriages score terribly on paper.

The one thing to remember

Consider your birth chart a list of ingredients delivered to your kitchen - generous ones, tricky ones, a few you would never have ordered - while the actual cooking, tonight and every night, is you.
