Your Birthday for April 04, 2016

Your Birthday | April 4th, 2016

Born today, you are a strong-willed, hardworking individual who knows how to put everything into a project from beginning to end. When you are truly inspired and drawn to an endeavor, there is nothing you will not do to make the best of the opportunity, including transforming yourself and working all hours to reap the rewards that you think are attainable. There are times, however, when you may not be as focused as possible, and then you may not quite know how best to proceed in order to maximize your potential and secure your just rewards. You will learn, of course, how to navigate the natural ebb and flow of your life. When riding a wave of energy and inspiration, you can surely accomplish much!

Your personal affairs may not always progress smoothly or according to plan, but this is simply because you are almost too passionate and sensitive for your own good. Learn to temper your affections, and the benefits will be great, for you are at your best when you are not at the mercy of your own emotions.

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

Your Birthday for April 03, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 3rd, 2016

Born today, you have boundless energy and seemingly limitless stores of inspiration. You are positive, optimistic, hopeful and always on the lookout for the next thing that can bring you joy -- for joy is your primary motivator in life. You take delight in many things that other people find mundane or even disappointing, you are able to smile at that which makes others frown, and you can succeed where others fail. What sets you apart in this way? It is the fact that you consider each and every day a gift, and you're not about to take life for granted in the least.

You can be somewhat erratic, but this is really only because you sometimes don't know exactly what to do with all that natural energy you have welling up inside you. You may occasionally sense that you deserve more than you get, but you know this can be a harmful feeling, so you never let it linger for long.

Also born on this date are: Leigh-Allyn Baker, actress; Eddie Murphy, actor and comedian; Alec Baldwin, actor; Doris Day, singer and actress; Marlon Brando, actor; Jane Goodall, primatologist; Jennie Garth, actress; Wayne Newton, singer; Washington Irving, author; David Hyde Pierce, actor; Gus Grissom, astronaut; Tony Orlando, singer; Picabo Street, Olympic skier; Dooley Wilson, actor.

MONDAY, APRIL 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're only confusing yourself with all the complicated maneuvering you've been doing. Try to keep things simple and straightforward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is likely to be a great deal of action to keep up with, but you have what it takes to follow everything in stride.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time to get in touch with someone who, in one sense at least, holds your future in his or her hands. You want some answers!

Your Birthday for April 02, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 2nd, 2016

Born today, you are confident that you will score a hit in life, so you simply go about your business with the calm, secure knowledge that one of these days, sooner or later, everything will fall into place -- and so it will, too, eventually! You never feel that you must allow circumstances to jostle you about; the winds of fate rarely blow you anywhere against your will. Rather, you maintain control at all times, following your instincts and doing precisely what you want, when you want, in order to get the most enjoyment -- and profit -- out of each and every day. You don't need the praise and affirmation of others in order to feel good about yourself; that is something that comes naturally to you.

Once you find yourself on top, you're likely to stay there -- unless you choose to abandon that which has brought you success to move off in another direction entirely. You have what it takes to do almost anything reasonably well -- a trait that is, in itself, a result of your natural confidence.

Also born on this date are: Marvin Gaye, singer; Christopher Meloni, actor; Michael Fassbender, actor; Buddy Ebsen, actor; Emmylou Harris, singer; Linda Hunt, actress; Alec Guinness, actor; Jack Webb, actor.

SUNDAY, APRIL 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're able to look at things through a lens of your own creation, but that will not always give you a true picture. Use care.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Such a fuss over nothing! You'll want to make it possible for everyone to walk away from a meaningless conflict with their pride intact.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be waiting longer than usual for the information you need to get something new started. This isn't the only bump you'll encounter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to make a new friend, and -- surprise, surprise! -- it's someone you may have mistrusted in the past. How things change!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can give a friend the reassurance he or she really needs -- and in the process, you'll come to an important, calming realization.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can examine things much more closely than usual, without anyone accusing you of intruding in any way. You'll learn a key lesson.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- When the time comes to let go, you must let go; hanging on even a few moments too long can cause you a great deal of trouble.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're likely to receive a rather cryptic message that has you wondering if anything is really the way it seems. Take a closer look.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find that someone hasn't been holding up his or her end of a certain bargain; a business change must be made.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The information you receive may not be usable as you had planned. Still, you can make progress if you remain open and flexible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be able to give someone a comprehensive recommendation today that means more coming from you than it otherwise would.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're reaching for something that has been beyond your grasp for quite some time -- it may soon be tantalizingly close!
