Friends and Lovers

Because they have considerable leadership potential, May 17 individuals are likely to surround themselves with more "followers" than equals. They are so strong-minded that to be with other people like themselves can create conflict. In love and romance, they are discerning partners. They know what they want in a mate and will not settle for anything less. They often marry later in life.

Children and Family

May 17 natives endorse the traditional values of family life, and they may act as a surrogate parent to younger brothers and sisters. They are strict parents. Even if they have a loving relationship with their children, they will never fail to emphasize the rigors of discipline.
