Your Birthday for April 22, 2015

Your Birthday | April 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most watched individuals born under your sign. Others are naturally compelled to pay attention to you, to chart your movements, study your habits and, at times, even imitate your style -- but why? You are a rather quirky individual, easily recognizable and hard to forget, one who has a knack for being very much at the center of things. You are not happy being on the sidelines; you will always work your way toward a place where you can influence affairs or at least simply do things your own way, come what will. You are never a fan of compromise, and this will surely bring you into conflict with others on occasion.

Love is something of a mystery to you, but that doesn't mean you don't give it a try as often as you possibly can! Indeed, you are likely to break many hearts in your lifetime if you follow your romantic instincts without curbing them at all. At the same time, you will keep your own heart from breaking whenever you can.

Also born on this date are: Jack Nicholson, actor; Marshawn Lynch, football player; Amber Heard, actress; Vladimir Lenin, Russian politician; Peter Frampton, singer-songwriter; Glen Campbell, singer-songwriter; John Waters, filmmaker; Aaron Spelling, television producer; Bettie Page, model; Robert Oppenheimer, physicist; Eddie Albert, actor; Yehudi Menuhin, violinist; Terry Francona, baseball manager.

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.

Your Birthday for April 21, 2015

by Stella Wilder

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must be sure to give yourself enough time to do what must be done. You don't want to find yourself racing against the clock.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The quality of your work is sure to impress those around you, but you must make sure that everything is done on time and under budget.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are only a certain few rules that you must consciously follow; the rest, of course, are likely to come naturally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can only solve the problem at hand with conscious thought and effort. A solution is unlikely to be spawned by accident.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be able to see the future in some way. This can be both a blessing and a curse, and others may not believe what you can do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must be willing to reach out to one who has recently gained power and ask for what you feel you truly deserve. He or she will listen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your motives may not be fully understood or appreciated, but the actions you take are likely to win the loyalty of many.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can capture the hearts of those who have known, for some time, that you have something special. Today it is on display.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is waiting on you to complete your part of a project before he or she can work on the finishing touches. Get it done!

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.
