Taureans receive their creative personality trait from their ruling planet, Venus: The Creator. Thomas Gainsborough born today in 1727, used this quality to become one of the most famous landscape and portrait painters of 18th Century Britain. Other creative Taurean's also born today are Australian actress Cate Blanchett (from Lord of the Rings) and English actor Tim Roth (remember The Rocky Horror Picture Show?)

Another creative but also determined Taurean born today is film producer, director and screen writer, George Lucas, who is best known for his sci-fi franchise, Star Wars.  In order to try and get the first film made, he waived his directors fee, instead negotiating to own the licensing rights, which the film company thought would be worthless.  This turned out to be one of many shrewd business moves, and the rights   have earned him hundreds of millions of dollars to date. He also worked with his college friend, Steven Spielberg on the Indiana Jones films along with many other epic movies.

Your Horoscope for 14th May

While patience may have been the order of the day earlier this week,  there is a limit to how far you should stretch your tolerance.  Sometimes bad behaviour is just not on, and accepting it is a close cousin to allowing it.  It isn't in your nature to take things lying down, or to let people walk all over you, so don't do so today!
