Your Birthday for April 20, 2016

Your Birthday by by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday |

Born today, you are an upstanding, honest, hardworking individual, but there always seems to be something about you that others don't know -- something unusual, mysterious, hidden, dark and possibly quite dangerous. It's that dangerous element that draws other people into your orbit; people simply like to be around you because they never really know what's going to happen, or whether they're going to get out of it unscathed! Men born on this date tend to be "bad boys" in their youth; their female counterparts tend toward a kind of power and control that puts most men to shame. The combination can be quite volatile; those who share this birthdate should steer clear of each other whenever possible.

You can be something of a spoilsport when things don't go your way, and anyone who stands against you had better beware of your temper. It can compel you to do things that are, from a logical point of view, simply inexplicable. Quite simply, you seldom feel the need to follow the rules.

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, actor; Joan Miro, artist; Nina Foch, actress; Ryan O'Neal, actor; Joey Lawrence, actor; Carmen Electra, model and 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.

THURSDAY, APRIL 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're interested in what someone else brings to the table, but you're not sure it's time to make the dramatic overall changes required.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to paint a new idea in broad strokes, but you'll want to leave the details to someone else. Pick someone you can trust!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's time to put a certain episode behind you for good. No matter how hard someone else tries to keep it current, you can move on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll encounter a few difficulties as you try to juggle certain responsibilities. The key is devising the right order.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're far more interested than usual in what is going on beneath the surface. Indeed, hidden meanings affect you all day long.

Your Birthday for April 19, 2016

Born today, you probably think very highly of yourself, personally and professionally. Indeed, you are likely to enjoy a great many opportunities to prove that you are everything you say you are -- and more -- at various occasions throughout your lifetime. Can you follow through, however? Can you really prove that you aren't simply overestimating yourself? It's certainly possible, but you will have to engage on a level that requires constant thought, attention, hard work and commitment -- and there are times when you simply don't want to do all of that hard work! Still, when you buckle down, you do have what it takes to do any job well -- and be remembered for both the effort and the results.

You are often distracted by endeavors that do not promise fame or fortune or lasting contentment -- they're the kinds of things that are simply fun, and you love to have fun! Indeed, you're known to sacrifice long-lasting success for a fleeting bit of fun -- far too often.

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 and musician; Dick Sargent, actor; Eliot Ness, FBI agent; Al Unser Jr., auto racer; Tony Plana, actor.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You want to share a recent experience with someone who will appreciate it as you do. Soon, you can enjoy something similar together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to be taken seriously, but that can actually get you into some hot water before you know it. Play it cool, by all means!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't hesitate to excuse yourself if you find yourself in a situation that brings up too many uncomfortable feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are seeing things a bit more clearly than you have in the recent past, but some of what you see is likely to displease you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You needn't let others know your every waking thought. Some will take advantage of your honesty, so be selective with what you share.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll have the opportunity to prove that you know every bit as much as one of the experts. You must prepare yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Giving someone else what he or she wants can be much easier than you suppose. The trick is knowing when the time is right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can be where the action is, but you must be willing to face something rather mysterious and perhaps even a bit threatening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be frightened by an accident, but you can rely on something intentional to give you strength and confidence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- An unexpected encounter evolves quickly into something you cannot entirely understand. Follow the path and see where it leads.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have what it takes to stand up for yourself, but you may have to solicit help when the time comes to stand up for someone else.

Born today, you are certainly one of the most colorful individuals born under your sign; however, not everyone would consider this a compliment! There are some who think that you are simply too loud, boisterous and flamboyant for your own good. Indeed, there are times when your mouth may get you into a good deal of hot water, especially when you let it run on without engaging your brain or your common sense. Still, you can be the life of the party, and others rely on you to keep boredom at bay -- you surely know how to do that! You are able to keep many balls in the air at one time, and your ability to focus on several things at once is nearly legendary. Experts may say you suffer from an attention disorder of some sort, but you never let that hold you back!

You have a great deal of sex appeal, and many would give anything for one night -- or even one hour -- with you! You will go through phases in which that sort of thing is exactly what you want, but afterward you will usually decide that a more meaningful, lasting relationship is better for you, at least for a while.

Also born on this date are: Kourtney Kardashian, television personality; 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, composer.

TUESDAY, APRIL 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Given what you have to work with, you can actually do a great deal of good. Someone has you in his or her sights, however; use care!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A professional opportunity brings you face to face with someone you've long admired -- and may reunite you with someone you've often missed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can combine a great deal of fun with the potential for great profit, but don't try to force anything. Let it happen naturally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have one of those days when everything lines up exactly right, and even the trickiest task is made quite easy. Enjoy!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Arrangements may be made in your absence, so you must work quickly to catch up and be in sync with those who know what's going on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to step in and fill a role originally played by someone else because he or she is suddenly unavailable today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your standards are high, but you may not have the best tools with which to work. You're going to have to make some concessions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have been warned against doing the very thing that you are so tempted to do. Consider the well-being of others!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are likely to have mixed emotions as you face a situation you have both longed for and feared. You're into something advanced.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are eager to learn something more than the usual, and someone may step in to give you lessons -- but you mustn't speak of it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're letting others down by not maintaining contact. A certain friend is the only one who will tell you that you're making an error!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to do what someone else knows how to do, but you're likely to do him or her one better when all is said and done.
