Your Birthday for April 14, 2015

Your Birthday | April 14th, 2015

Born today, you are destined to reach the pinnacle of success in your chosen career -- provided, of course, that you plan your ascent carefully and do things in ways that allow your native talents to shine. What this means, of course, is that you can't do things any other way but your own; copying another's methods or motives will surely lead to disaster, so you must devise those that spring from the font of your own tastes, nature and ability. You are steady, reliable and strong, and while you are not always full of surprises, you can certainly use these traits to your advantage. You are the kind others go to when they need to rely on a sure thing.

You do have a dark side, and if you let that aspect of your personality take control even for short amounts of time, you can expect to introduce danger and conflict into your life. Keep those aspects of yourself under wraps and guard against letting them get the better of you, and you can enjoy a great deal of personal success.

Also born on this date are: Sarah Michelle Gellar, actress; Abigail Breslin, actress; Loretta Lynn, singer; Adrien Brody, actor; Pete Rose, baseball player; Robert Carlyle, actor; Anne Sullivan, teacher; Julie Christie, actress; Anthony Michael Hall, actor; Greg Maddux, baseball player; Rod Steiger, actor; Sir John Gielgud, actor; Shani Wallis, actress and singer.

Your Birthday for April 13, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 13th, 2015

Born today, you are keenly interested in a wide variety of disparate topics, and you are likely to explore many of them, together or independently, at various points in your lifetime. You are compelled to find out as much as possible about the world around you, not because you feel it will benefit you in any material way, but because you value knowledge for its own sake, and your native curiosity must be satisfied! You have a knack for communicating in ways that people can understand -- but even more remarkable is your ability to capture the attention and imaginations of others. Though highly intelligent, you can be quite simple and down-to-earth in the way you reach out to those around you. You are not a snob!

Your personal tastes are wide-reaching, and while you enjoy the best that life has to offer, you can also be quite content with the simple things. It all depends, of course, on what circumstances allow at any given time! You know how to be content with whatever hand fortune may deal you.

Also born on this date are: Thomas Jefferson, U.S. president; Al Green, singer; Ron Perlman, actor; Tony Dow, actor; Hunter Pence, baseball player; Ricky Schroder, actor; Don Adams, actor and comedian; Samuel Beckett, playwright; Howard Keel, actor; Lyle Waggoner, actor; Garry Kasparov, chess player; Edward Fox, actor; Paul Sorvino, actor; Peabo Bryson, singer; Butch Cassidy, outlaw.

TUESDAY, APRIL 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be able to strike a bargain with someone who has been opposing your ideas for quite some time. This compromise could prove valuable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be opposed to an idea put forward by a rival, but you'll soon realize that it's no different from one you are espousing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A moderate approach is recommended. Any sort of extreme behavior -- or talk -- is sure to work against you as you move forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're in the midst of a struggle to solve a problem that has been hanging on for far too long. An ally comes up with a quick fix.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone may be trying to keep you from telling all you know. Wait your turn, and when the time comes, you'll know just how to tell the truth.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept. 22) -- You may realize that something you've been taking for granted for some time is really nothing like what you had supposed it to be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Focus on the fundamentals. See if you can persuade someone to join you in an effort that others may think is misguided or misinformed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be disappointed by a decision made by someone in charge -- but only temporarily. Soon, you'll get what you deserve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have serious doubts about what you are doing, and why. It may be time to change course in a dramatic way -- for good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You want nothing to do with any sort of hypocrisy. Stick to what you know best, and speak from the heart at all times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself at the center of a situation that requires more of you than you had been expecting to give, but you can do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Rumors abound, but you can set everyone straight with a single admission. Yes, at last it's time for you to reveal one simple fact.

Your Birthday for April 12, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 12th, 2015

Born today, you always seem to know just what to say to defuse a potentially incendiary situation. Once you have done so, you will never go back; you will move forward instead of reliving what may have been a dangerous and traumatic time. You are quite progressive in your thinking, and you live for the moment and for tomorrow. You never dwell on the past, and you never rest on your laurels or try to satisfy yourself by reliving a former glory. Rather, you are always eager to see what waits around the next corner, over the next hill or down the next road. Like so many Aries natives, you love to be on the move, testing yourself and your abilities.

You don't have to do much to get a reaction from others. Indeed, your personality is so strong, and you are so instantly recognizable to so many, that merely walking into a room is enough to move things along, heat things up and get the party started. You can be rather challenging to deal with at times, and even more of a challenge to keep up with.

Also born on this date are: Vince Gill, singer; David Letterman, television host; Shannen Doherty, actress; Jennifer Morrison, actress; Tiny Tim, singer and comedian; Claire Danes, actress; David Cassidy, actor and singer; Beverly Cleary, author; Andy Garcia, actor; Tom Clancy, novelist; Herbie Hancock, musician; Ed O'Neill, actor; Henry Clay, politician; Ann Miller, actress.

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.

MONDAY, APRIL 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be quite surprised by the reactions others have to your words and deeds. Clearly, not everyone understands your intentions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be in a position to call the shots, but only for a short time. You'll want to be sure that you maximize group efficiency.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to travel farther than expected; pack accordingly. Give yourself more of a choice during evening hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find the energy a bit threatening in certain situations, but it is no good to turn and run. Face what comes, head-on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have just enough authority to make a difference. Others are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. A love triangle begins to form.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself in need of a little more understanding from someone who has been reluctant to take things any further.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your attempts to show your respect for another's priorities may backfire on you for a time. Ultimately, this can be entirely forgotten.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day to give another some assistance with a situation that could, if left unattended, cause personal embarrassment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll know what must be done once you look back over the past week or two and determine just where you've been.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll attract the attention of someone who has been looking for the right match. It could be that you're the one!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are mistaken if you think that the tension between you and a new acquaintance is a bad thing. It means that attention is being paid!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You won't have to do much to prove to others that you are the one with the most viable plan. Potential is high.
