Luck maker - get to know yourself better.

If you want to attract luck into your life, then you need to start with self-awareness. Only when you know what makes you happy and unhappy can you start making positive changes.

Your birthday is of absolute perfection.

People born on May 7th are a curious mixture of inward looking spirituality and outward-orientated concern with personal image. Although they are able to recognize that the most important values are non-materialistic, they also have a great desire to make an impression on others. This combination of inner and outer expectation is, however, in keeping with their quest for absolute perfection in all areas in their lives.

As well as being deeply sensitive and compassionate, they are also elegant and gifted communicators who can inspire others with their ideals. Often devoted to these ideals, they are willing to give them every ounce of their mental, physical and spiritual energy. This can develop into a tendency to give too much of themselves, but most of them are self-aware enough to know where and when to draw the line. They should ensure they retain a sense of perspective in their twenties, thirties and early forties, when there is an emphasis on change, communication and learning new skills. After the age of forty it is vital for them not to lose a sense of self, because this is a turning point when they are likely to focus more on emotional relationships, family and their instinctual understanding of others' needs.

It is their search for perfection, however, that best defines these people. There is always a danger that this will manifest in unrealistic fantasies and expectations, and they need to focus on making some of their high ideals a workable reality. Materially, their intelligence and drive will help them succeed; making money is not a problem for them, although - because they like enjoying and sharing the good things in life - keeping it sometimes is.

As far as spiritual or inner goals are concerned, they have to come to terms with the fact that fining their spirituality or inner meaning will be a lifelong mission. they should use their natural intuition to get in touch with their wisdom and creativity which, if allowed to express themselves freely, will be able to satisfy their deepest yearnings for fulfillment.

On the dark side ... unrealistic, frustrated, superficial

At your best ... refined, discerning, dedicated

Love (higher love)
