Your Birthday for April 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 2nd, 2013

Born today, you are used to being buffeted this way and that by the winds of fate, and though you know that you can be instrumental in deciding your own fate, there is something adventurous and even fun about giving yourself over to that mysterious force that others call chance. You may, at times, live according to extremes of thought, feeling and action; you're not one to dwell comfortably in some kind of middle ground. You know the truth when you see it, and you are able to judge yourself with remarkable honesty and clarity -- and it is this that will allow you to make your way more often than not.

You may not want to share your deepest feelings with those around you very often, but when you do, you will share everything and anything -- and he or she who lends you an ear must be ready for everything, even that which might be unconventional or uncomfortable. When you trust someone, you trust with your very life and soul.

Also born on this date are: Ron Palillo, actor; Emmylou Harris, singer; Linda Hunt, actress; Leon Russell, singer; Marvin Gaye, singer.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've got a handle on a difficult situation, and others will come to you for some advice and guidance. You must know where the line is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are in the mood for something a little more lively than what you're used to getting from a certain source. Make that clear!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be undergoing a kind of change that begins inside and only shows itself after it has been going on for quite some time. How do you feel?

Your Birthday for April 01, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 1st, 2013

Born today, you do not rely on a loud voice or a strong presence to clear your way in the world; indeed, you tend to be rather quiet, introspective, soulful and pensive. Despite this, there is almost always something going on beneath the surface, and you are never to be found merely loafing or spacing out. Rather, you are always at work on some problem or other, trying to devise a solution that will benefit you and those around you -- permanently, if possible. You see the world as a canvas, and almost everything that happens in it can be considered to be the product of someone's will.

You can be quite romantic, though you aren't the kind to show your hand. You will keep your cards close to the vest, trusting that the object of your desire will be the first to admit what has been going on in the shadows of thought and imagination for some time.

Also born on this date are: Susan Boyle, singer; Ali McGraw, actress; Debbie Reynolds, actress; Toshiro Mifune, actor; Sergei Rachmaninoff, composer, conductor and pianist.

Your Birthday for March 31, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 31st, 2013

Born today, you are one of those rare and admirable individuals who is capable of doing things entirely your own way, at every turn, regardless of rules. Indeed, what you do is likely to attract a great deal of attention, and be remembered for quite some time -- simply because your manner is so unusual. You possess a strong intellect and keen instincts; you are hardworking and always eager to take on more. You are never so content as when you are trying to do something that requires you to dig deep and plumb the depths of your considerable talents.

You don't always get along with everyone, and there are times when you may turn away even from those who know you best and love you most. There is really no explaining this behavior -- and fortunately you are not likely to indulge in it for very long. You will always return to the fold!

Also born on this date are: Ewan McGregor, actor; Al Gore, U.S. vice president; Rhea Perlman, actress; Gabe Kaplan, actor and comedian; Christopher Walken, actor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What began as a situation to be quickly forgotten is likely to be something you'll want to remember when all is said and done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone you don't know well is likely to affect your day in a significant way. He or she is someone whose friendship you should cultivate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to assess your own work objectively at this time -- but a friend or colleague can provide the right perspective.
