Your Birthday for April 03, 2013

Your Birthday | April 3rd, 2013

Born today, you have a way of coming from nowhere and taking the world by storm -- be it in your personal life or professional endeavors. You're not the kind to announce yourself prior to taking center stage; rather, you will let things develop in a rather ordinary, organic way, choosing to take your turn when it comes. You can be sure that once you have put yourself on display, there will be others who imitate you in every way; even the subtlest traits are fair game to those who want to be like you!

You may be multitalented, for most Aries natives can boast of more than one strength, but you aren't likely to explore all of your abilities. Rather, you are more likely to determine at an early age what it is you want to do with your life -- and that is what you will do, come what may!

Also born on this date are: Jennie Garth, actress; Picabo Street, Olympic skier; Eddie Murphy, actor and comedian; David Hyde Pierce, actor; Alec Baldwin, actor; Tony Orlando, singer.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

THURSDAY, APRIL 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't try to do anything behind anyone's back today, or what is found out will surely come back to haunt you later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Trying to be secretive or deceptive will only work against you today. Be willing to share what you are doing with everyone around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be after a piece of security that cannot be yours until you pay for it -- but you know what it costs, and you can afford it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't make the mistake of thinking that everything should be taken literally today. Some of the most important messages are figurative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself working against the grain in some way. Stay the course, however, and others will join in your efforts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- They say that the best-laid plans sometimes go awry -- but today you'll have only yourself to blame if things do not go as you have foretold. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can score an important first today -- but you must be careful that you don't strain any relationships past the breaking point.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll get to do much at home and at work that is strangely conjoined. You may not know the impact of your efforts until much later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The goals you are working toward at this time may not be entirely worth the effort. It's time to consider shifting your focus.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Set your sights higher today and you'll be inspired to do much that you thought, perhaps, you couldn't do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't charge into something without making adequate preparations today; you can't afford to be ill-equipped to face certain challenges.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you say certain things to certain people will be very important today -- but what you don't say may have an even greater impact.

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?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You want to enjoy a little more freedom to explore what is out there -- but you may have to reel it in toward day's end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your positive outlook is more valuable to those around you than you could possibly imagine -- though you may not hear it from them, of course.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your behavior may be somewhat confusing to someone who is used to seeing you do certain things in certain ways at certain times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- One plus one does not always equal two today; you must get used to the fact that not everything will play out as you expect it to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have to do more than expected if you want there to be some time for rest and relaxation when you really think you'll need it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A surprise is in store, but you may not be able to freely express your surprise until you feel that things are safe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The tactics you have been using may be effective, but they are considered outdated by others. Consider some new methods.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can certainly go the distance today, but not without preparing yourself in a way that ensures you will leave no stone unturned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to slow down and redo certain things today when you realize you've been making several small mistakes that can add up.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be perfect for the job at hand, but with a little study you can surely be good enough -- or even better. Your critics are silenced.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's time for you to take advantage of a situation that has been slowly developing. Now you know just what must you must do -- and how.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- That which comes naturally is likely to be the most productive; avoid anything that takes you too far out of your sweet spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone you've been watching for quite some time has been watching you too. Maybe it's time for you to work together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to keep your feelings under wraps for a time until clouds pass and you feel some tension around you lifting.
