Taureans born today share their birthday with psychiatrist Sigmund Freud. Freud is best known for his work on the unconscious mind and the human defence mechanism of repression.  Despite the stigma of a couch, and a focus on people's childhood experiences,  Freud's research was groundbreaking in helping us to understand some of the motivations for human behaviour.

Taureans are ruled by the planet Venus, from which they get a practical creativity. Which Orson Welles, born today in 1915, definitely used in his career. The first two films the the American director, writer, producer and actor made are widely considered to be two of the greatest films ever made, "Citizen Kane" and "The MagnificentAmbersons" and the British Film Institute named him the greatest film director in 2002. Other creative Taureans born today are George Clooney and R&B singer/songwriter Craig David.

Taureans are also determined, steady, reliable people, personality traits which former Prime Minister, Tony Blair born today in 1953, needed during his rule as the British Prime Minster. AlthoughTaureans can sometimes be withdrawn, Blair was the opposite of this during his public life, coming across as a charismatic leader.

Your Horoscope for 6th May

Don't read too many Freudian analogies into any nostalgia that you might be feeling today.  Most likely it is just a desire to reconnect with family and loved ones.  Make that long distance phone call or send an email to let someone know you are thinking about them.
