Your Birthday for April 20, 2015

Your Birthday | April 20th, 2015

Born today, you are destined to last. This means, of course, that you are sure to be remembered even long after you have shuffled off this mortal coil. What may be surprising, however, is that you are not necessarily to be remembered for how you spend the most time and energy in life. In other words, though you may work hard in your career and achieve a certain level of success and fame, you may well achieve a kind of immortality in doing something that is entirely different from your routine or habitual activities. Indeed, the thing that brings you lasting fame could be something you do only once, and almost by accident! You must guard against trying too hard; some things, after all, just happen.

You have a great deal of creative energy and talent, but there are times when your nature may conspire against you. When it comes to difficulty or "hard knocks," you may react by withdrawing or lashing out, and either of these responses can be detrimental or even disastrous.

Also born on this date are: Shemar Moore, actor; George Takei, actor; Luther Vandross, singer; Jessica Lange, actress; Crispin Glover, actor; Clint Howard, actor; Don Mattingly, baseball player; Harold Lloyd, silent film star; Joan Miro, artist; Joey Lawrence, actor; Nina Foch, actress; Ryan O'Neal, actor.

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.

TUESDAY, APRIL 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be able to prove to others that you are very much in the thick of things. Your competitive nature is on display.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may need more than a map to get around; perhaps you can engage the services of someone who has been there before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be sure you know what you really want, because once you've asked for and received it, there's no going back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A change in your living situation may be in your future. You will want to take stock of things in a way you haven't before.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're seeking a way out of a tight spot. A friend or partner is able to lead you only so far, so be ready to go it alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may realize that things are not the way they were before, but surely this can work to your advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your ability to keep all manner of facts and figures straight will serve you well throughout the day, and perhaps increase profits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must be willing to take responsibility for those things that do not go according to plan. In this way, progress is made.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be trying to argue both sides of an issue, but this isn't exactly fair, is it? It's time to make a decision, one way or the other.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're able to see things the way they are, with no ornament or embellishment, which can be rather surprising at times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what's really happening, even if others don't. This gives you an advantage, but also burdens you with a greater duty.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Though you must schedule your day with great care, you must also prepare yourself for certain unforeseeable variables and obstacles.

Your Birthday for April 19, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 19th, 2015

Born today, you are one of those mysterious individuals who seem in one moment to be one kind of person, and then in the next, someone else completely. Your ability to mold and change yourself to suit the circumstances is likely to be widely admired and appreciated -- though some may fear you because of your seeming inability to be consistent in your behavior. Consistency, of course, doesn't interest you in the least; what does interest you is being true to yourself at every turn. Because of this, you seem changeable when in fact you are simply giving free rein to your natural inclinations. You can be quite jovial and even clownish at times, or you can be dark and rather frightening at others.

You know how to bring out the best in others, and in doing so, you bring out the best in yourself as well. You understand that progress depends upon your ability to work and play well with others. There are times when others may doubt your motives, but in truth, you want nothing but the best for everyone.

Also born on this date are: James Franco, actor; Kate Hudson, actress; Ashley Judd, actress; Maria Sharapova, tennis player; Hayden Christensen, actor; Tim Curry, actor; Jayne Mansfield, actress; Dudley Moore, actor, comedian and musician; Dick Sargent, actor; Eliot Ness, federal agent; Al Unser Jr., auto racer; Tony Plana, actor.

MONDAY, APRIL 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The familiar gives you a great deal of comfort, yet you will be eager to move into unexplored territory very soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to encounter someone who reminds you very much of yourself -- in ways both good and bad. This certainly tells you something.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you don't let someone get too close when asking in-depth questions. There are some things you want to keep under wraps.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have a keen ability to see through deceptions of all kinds, whether intentional or accidental. Today, that provides an unusual benefit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to take a trip of sorts in order to uncover certain facts that will prove essential to you as you try to solve a mystery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The view you enjoy from afar may actually give you more of what you need than a closer look could afford -- at least right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You've been thinking in permanent terms about something that is better understood in another way. Some things are, and should be, temporary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can indulge in a little sentimental reminiscence, but you must go only so far. Don't get lost in a painful memory!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are in someone else's sights, and there's very little you can do to avoid being captured -- but in a good way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to offer some insight into a situation that has even the experts baffled. You won't overlook a key element.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A mistake made by someone who is, in a way, walking in your footsteps teaches you something valuable about your own current position.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There's a piece of information that is missing, and your search will enable you to uncover more than you seek.

Your Birthday for April 18, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 18th, 2015

Born today, you are quite charismatic, and you rely on your personality to open doors that might otherwise remain closed to you. It may take some time for you to recognize the one talent that can bring you success in life, but once you have identified it and have begun to develop it fully, you will find that the result is genuine success -- and the contentment that so often comes with it. You can be rather compulsive, combative, quick-tempered and even rash, but those who know you best understand that these traits stem from your enthusiasm and naturally high levels of nervous and creative energy. Though you can lash out angrily, you are also capable of making amends in the most sensitive and understanding ways.

Also born on this date are: Kourtney Kardashian, reality TV star; David Tennant, actor; Moises Arias, actor; Melissa Joan Hart, actress; America Ferrera, actress; Conan O'Brien, comedian and television host; James Woods, actor; Hayley Mills, actress; Eric Roberts, actor; Jane Leeves, actress; Maria Bello, actress; Rick Moranis, actor; Barbara Hale, actress; Clarence Darrow, lawyer; Leopold Stokowski, conductor.

Others may not realize it, but you feel things deeply; when you are offended or hurt in some way, you can carry the pain with you for a long time. Indeed, you don't let go of things easily; like so many Aries natives, you tend to take the littlest things far too personally.

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.

SUNDAY, APRIL 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should be able to explore freely where others avoid looking directly -- in this way, you can come up with the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The questions you ask can lead others to the answers they seek. You don't have to do everything yourself, remember.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What seems a completely normal, routine situation may actually prove to be quite exceptional in many ways. You'll be in the middle.

CANCER (June 21-June 20) -- You have a way of taking seemingly unrelated details and painting a complete picture of a truth that very few will be able to comprehend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something is likely to spur you on, almost against your will. In truth, however, a part of you is eager to move in that direction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A puzzle presents itself that has you pondering certain key mysteries. One or two pieces may be difficult to place correctly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be shouting, "Eureka!" when you realize exactly what you've been looking at for quite some time now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll draw certain conclusions that may draw criticism from those in the know. You're on the right track, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've worked yourself into a position of some authority, perhaps, but you may find that you now must make an unpleasant decision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be planning to spend or invest a great deal of money very soon. Be sure that you've done all your homework and know the risks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're in no mood to share your secrets with just anyone. There is one person, however, with whom you have a certain connection.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may think that what you do, anyone can do -- but someone close to you knows the truth: What you have to offer is unique.
