Your sign: Taurus ♉

A May 7 birthday lands in Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20), the fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. On the 7th of May the Sun travels near the 18th degree of Taurus, midway through the sign's month-long season - day 18 of the Taurus year. Venus rules this sign, and it gives you a professional-grade appreciation for comfort - good food, good fabric, a chair worth defending. 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 7th of May falls in the 2nd decan of Taurus, the stretch tradition co-rules through Virgo and its planet Mercury. Virgo in the co-pilot seat sharpens the craft: this is where the sign gets exacting, useful, and quietly indispensable.

Your birthday number: 7

Numerologists read the day you were born the way a locksmith reads a key - every notch in the number cut to open something particular in you. Born on the 7th, you carry the birthday number 7. Solitude is not loneliness for you but a library, the one room where your best thinking finally gets loud. Your inner life has more square footage than most people's houses, complete with locked rooms even you are still exploring. A birthday on the 7th comes with a reading lamp permanently switched on somewhere inside you. Questions are your birthright, and you were made to sit with mysteries a little longer than everyone else can bear to.

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 7 blend: the season sets the stage, the sign does the talking.

In love

Run the classic match arithmetic for a May 7 birthday - element against element, aspect against aspect - and Taurus's easiest romances point toward Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus. Friendship runs on slightly different math, and there it is Cancer who comes out ahead. Ease is not the whole story, though: the harder pairings grow people faster, and every match writes its own exceptions.

The one thing to remember

Think of your birthday as a weather report, not a verdict - the sky you were issued says plenty about the climate and nothing about where you decide to walk.
