May 25

**May 25** is the 145th day of the year (146th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

Regardless of their degree of sophistication, those born on **May 25** are born fighters. They may dedicate themselves to defending a cause, an idea, their country or their family, but their beliefs are never archaic or conservative. Rather, they care about keeping up with all aspects of their lives. They value money, clothes and all the signs of earthly ostentation, but at the same time they understand that these are only the facade of a deeper spiritual life. Above all, they recognize that freedom from tyranny is of the utmost importance, both for the individual and for the group.

Because those born on this day are attuned to the rhythm of the world around them, they survive social change, sometimes going with the flow and sometimes getting out of its way. However, their friends and relatives will find that they are only charming and accommodating up to a point. They will never give up their opinions, even though it may cost them popularity.

People born on May 25 have a philosophical attitude and clear ideas on a wide variety of topics; ideas that are usually part of a universal code of conduct, values ​​or both. But they are not content to stick to it, they expect the rest of the world to do the same, so they can be ruthless when someone transgresses it. Honor and a sense of responsibility are paramount to them, and their expectations are accordingly high. However, they must learn to be more forgiving and tolerant in their dealings with others.

Although they tend to give supremacy to their intellectual facet, they also need to express themselves physically. Unfortunately, in the process they can suppress their emotions or, if they have suffered in childhood, block them irreparably. They value affection, but find it difficult to express and accept it. They have a hard time trusting others, since they don't have confidence in themselves either. Whatever they do—whether it's in the arts, sports, sex, or work—they'll do great, but unfortunately they'll lack passion. Some of those born on this day pride themselves on having a cold personality, little given to emotional manifestations.

These individuals must combat their fear of rejection. As energetic as they may seem at first glance, they need to learn to be less apprehensive. By building your self-confidence little by little, perhaps slowly and over many years, you will ensure your success in the world and avoid sabotaging your own plans. They must find a way to live according to their ethical code without becoming paralyzed in a self-absorbed or self-critical attitude; their ideals need to find pragmatic expression. Otherwise they risk becoming unrealistic and losing sight of their true needs.

**NUMBERS AND PLANETS**

Those born on the twenty-fifth day of the month are ruled by the number 7 (2+5 = 7) and by the planet Neptune.
