Your Birthday for April 06, 2015

Your Birthday | April 6th, 2015

Born today, you are not always easy to read, and you can be somewhat solitary and brooding in your private life. In public, you put on a brave front, smiling a great deal and approaching everything with a positive energy that is often quite contagious -- if not entirely genuine. You are known for making those around you feel good, and you are quite capable of doing so even when you are experiencing emotional hardship. You do not like to infect others with your negative feelings -- be it a simple bad mood, depression, anger or grief. Such emotions are yours and yours alone, and you will cherish them and your right to be affected by them as you will, most often in a solitary fashion.

Your greatest weapon against any sort of negative feelings is work; when you are working, you are able to hold your head high, recognize the great potential in the world, and grace those around you with positive energy, smiles and generosity. Work, to you, is the best medicine -- as long as it is work you love.

Also born on this date are: Paul Rudd, actor; Michael Rooker, actor; Merle Haggard, singer; Billy Dee Williams, actor; John Ratzenberger, actor; Marilu Henner, actress; Barry Levinson, filmmaker.

TUESDAY, APRIL 7

CAPRICCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your preparation may have to be more thorough than usual, if for no other reason than that you don't know when you will get back home.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to bump things up a bit after someone makes an offer that you simply cannot refuse. Others may be tagging along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have several important things to take care of, but one in particular has been keeping you up at night -- so start with that!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Talking about something openly and honestly may reduce tension and get things moving forward. Now is no time to be bashful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling the inevitable effects of inertia, as it is more difficult than usual to get started.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're wishing certain things could be different, but by day's end, you'll see a way out that can prove positive for all involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may need a little more room to maneuver. Family members are perhaps more willing than usual to give you what you require.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What begins as nothing more than a test of sorts becomes a real-world situation that challenges you in every way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to see what a new partner is going to bring to the table. He or she knows what you're after, but may have a surprise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- This is not a good day to go for broke. It would be better to take a more conservative approach and focus on routine endeavors.

Your Birthday for April 05, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 5th, 2015

Born today, you have perhaps more natural potential than any other Aries native -- and that is surely saying something! All else being equal, the sheer force of your personality combined with your unbending will is almost certain to get you exactly what you want every step of the way. So, what could possibly go wrong? What you must do, of course, is be sure that you want only the right things, and that is no easy trick. There is so much in the world that is attractive to you, so many opportunities that you will want to pursue, and so many endeavors that you will be compelled to try, that doing only that which is good for you would be nearly impossible!

Both men and women born today have a great deal of what used to be called "sex appeal." Men born today are actually more subtle in their pursuit of romance, however; women born today can be quite aggressive at times -- too aggressive, in fact, for some prospective lovers.

Also born on this date are: Pharrell Williams, rapper; Juicy J, rapper; Bette Davis, actress; Colin Powell, military leader and politician; Hayley Atwell, actress; Booker T. Washington, educator; Spencer Tracy, actor; Gregory Peck, actor; Frank Gorshin, actor; Judith Resnick, astronaut; Joseph Lister, surgeon; Mitch Pileggi, actor; Peter Greenaway, filmmaker.

MONDAY, APRIL 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your enthusiasm for a project suggested by another will likely carry you through a difficult few minutes late in the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be the one others come to throughout the day for guidance, but it may not be for the reason you suppose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can bring a special skill set to a certain situation, and others will be quick to recognize your unique contribution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have no intention of standing in someone else's way, but there are certain rules that you must insist remain unbroken.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are being forced into a situation that is not to your liking, but that needn't result in a major change to your daily life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to see a problem solved in a way that satisfies the most people, so it will be up to you to steer the way other people think.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll have your hands full, thanks to another's unwillingness to see things through. Avoid any kind of resentment!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A defensive reaction to another's opinion regarding your work will get you nowhere. Listen carefully for valid points.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must ask that others respect your own personal space. You're in no mood to have anyone cramp your style.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You feel as though you are getting very close to achieving a certain personal goal. Someone else can give you a timely boost.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are quite able to handle the unexpected event that comes your way. Your naturally nimble approach to life is widely admired.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have reason to sigh with satisfaction as a difficult situation is resolved at last. Now it's time to rebuild trust.

Your Birthday for April 04, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 4th, 2015

Born today, you are a highly versatile individual, with aggressive ambitions that may, at times, actually take control of your nature and compel you to do things in pursuit of your goals that you might not otherwise do. This is not altogether uncommon, of course, in one as talented as you, but you must always take care that you do not put such a high premium on your dreams that you sacrifice the here-and-now in favor of them -- especially when it comes to health and domestic harmony. Your body and mind are your two most valuable tools in all things, and you must never do anything to threaten their overall well-being.

Though you may sometimes engage in reckless behavior, you are most productive when you are operating on an even keel, keeping emotions in check and avoiding those activities that drive you to extremes. You will surely learn from your mistakes -- if you survive them -- and what you learn can make contentment possible.

Also born on this date are: Robert Downey Jr., actor; Natasha Lyonne, actress; Heath Ledger, actor; Maya Angelou, poet; Anthony Perkins, actor; Muddy Waters, musician; Craig T. Nelson, actor; Nancy McKeon, actress; Christine Lahti, actress; Barry Pepper, actor.

SUNDAY, APRIL 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are keenly interested in what you have to say about a certain subject, but you may not yet feel ready to share your views.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're eager to take advantage of some bargains that are currently available, but you may not feel comfortable with the stipulations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can put into motion the plans you've been making recently, but perhaps only as an experiment for the time being. Permanence comes later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Things may be much different from what you had expected, but you can adjust quickly to unanticipated changes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your ability to adapt to circumstances will serve you quite well. Even bad news can be turned to your advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be working toward a domestic adjustment that could take some by surprise, but you know that it is for the best.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Instincts that kick in will do so just in time, and you'll see things ahead of you that may have been obscured only yesterday.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be wondering how others are reacting to something that you had much to do with behind the scenes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself standing front and center for a time. You must be ready to apply an unusual talent to an unusual situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to listen more carefully than normal to those around you. Even one whom you don't altogether trust may say something useful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not want to reveal everything to casual observers, but you're going to have to be a little less guarded than usual.
