Your Birthday for April 21, 2015

Your Birthday | April 21st, 2015

Born today, you are likely to attract attention at a very young age, and the stars may arrange an early introduction to your life's work. Indeed, whether or not things fall out in such a way as to give you a head start, you're likely to get to work on your own, inspired by a few others whom you admire. You are compelled by your own competitive nature and keen interest in winning to forge a path for yourself without waiting too long for others to show you the way. You are strong-willed and sometimes contrary, but always eager to prove yourself; you will always work hard to show others what you can do. You may spend a great deal of time looking over your shoulder, fearful of rivals, but the truth is that you are likely in a class by yourself.

It may seem to others that you too often put your personal life on a back burner, choosing to focus on work. Indeed, this may be true now and then, but your personal needs are never too far from your thoughts. You trust, however, that personal contentment and professional success are closely linked -- and for you, they often are.

Also born on this date are: Queen Elizabeth II of England; Tony Romo, football player; James McAvoy, actor; Iggy Pop, singer; Tony Danza, actor; Charlotte Bronte, author; Robbie Amell, actor; Andie MacDowell, actress; Anthony Quinn, actor; John Muir, naturalist; Charles Grodin, actor; Robin Meade, journalist; Patti LuPone, singer and actress; Toby Stephens, actor.

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.

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.
