Your Birthday for April 15, 2018

Your Birthday | April 15th, 2018

Born today, you are likely to get a fast start to what you think will be your professional life -- but that doesn't mean that you will stick with it for the long haul. Indeed, there is likely to come a time in which you apply a great deal of self-reflection to the problem of what you are "meant" to do with your life, and you may well come up with an answer that is different from the one you have been pursuing. Fortunately, you are able to function very well in a variety of different environments and do many different things with confidence. You must never allow yourself to feel that changing your mind about anything is a fault; in you, it is nothing but strength and resolve in action.

You are likely to be widely admired, though not always for the same reasons. Indeed, just as there are different facets to your complex personality, there are many different reasons why people will look up to you and, in some cases, desire to be just like you. You are not, fortunately, the kind to let that go to your head!

Also born on this date are: Emma Watson, actress; Leonardo da Vinci, artist; Seth Rogen, actor; Emma Thompson, actress and screenwriter; Roy Clark, TV host and musician; Elizabeth Montgomery, actress; Bessie Smith, singer; Claudia Cardinale, actress; Henry James, author.

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.

MONDAY, APRIL 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that what you and a friend each want is not in direct conflict with the other's desires. You must strive to be more in sync.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A seeming accident reveals itself to be entirely intentional on the part of someone who has been lurking in the shadows for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't want to jump into anything without weighing the potential gains and possible risks. Be aware of what's going on all around you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be paying close attention to social issues today. Is there anything that you can do to change the way things are going?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You think more is possible than those working with you today -- and you can prove that you are right! Put a far-fetched idea into motion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A friend is revealed to be quite different from the person you thought you knew well. This doesn't mean the relationship must change, however.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's a good day for trying something new -- especially where an old, familiar routine is concerned. Break from the norm and see what happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Change is fast approaching, and you must do all you can to be flexible when the need arises. Readiness is all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Quality control has become a serious issue that only you may be able to address in any effective way. Just do what you know how to do!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your view of the days ahead give you pause, but the evidence suggests that you have nothing to worry about. Adopt a cautious optimism.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what is required of you, and you know what is possible. Your troubles begin where these two very clear notions intersect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The information you require may not be where you expected to find it. Has someone changed the rules of the game and not told you?

Your Birthday for April 14, 2018

Your Birthday | April 14th, 2018

Born today, you can be judgmental and quick to turn your back on those who do not live up to your expectations. This is, of course, rather unreasonable of you. It is also likely to leave you quite lonely at times; if you persist in punishing others for not doing what you think they ought to do, you'll have no friends left! Fortunately, you have two things going for you: You are charming, and you make new friends quickly. Though you do hold a grudge, you do not do so forever. This demands much of those in your life, for you can be difficult to anticipate and at times very hard to get along with on a daily basis.

Also born on this date are: Sarah Michelle Gellar, actress; Abigail Breslin, actress; Loretta Lynn, singer; Adrien Brody, actor; Pete Rose, baseball player; Robert Carlyle, actor; Anne Sullivan, teacher; Julie Christie, actress; Anthony Michael Hall, actor; Greg Maddux, baseball player; Rod Steiger, actor; John Gielgud, actor; Shani Wallis, actress and singer.

You have unique talents that will surely propel you along a successful path as soon as you begin putting them to good use. You are not always eager for the kinds of success that others are after; rather, you pursue private pleasures and achievements that bring you a rare kind of inner contentment.

SUNDAY, APRIL 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may become frustrated when someone doesn't follow the rules -- but then you may begin to think that you should follow suit. Is it safe?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The guidance you get from another is sound and reliable, but you have a secret reason for doing a certain thing your way at this time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be subject to imaginative fits that have you thinking you are in danger when, in fact, all is safe and secure right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't let yourself be distracted by someone who is intentionally trying to throw you off your game. Stay focused at all times.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are enthusiastic about the possibilities that lie before you, despite being in close contact with someone who gives voice to serious doubts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be intrigued by someone who threatens to pull you away from what you know you should be doing at this time. What's in it for you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are ready to float an idea that you've been working on for quite some time -- but you mustn't reveal everything all at once today!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Process is far more important than product today; you will learn a great deal by following the path that is laid out before you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't be too quick to say no to someone whose ideas are habitually far-fetched. This time, you may want to listen closely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have the advantage as the day opens, and can hang onto it no matter what transpires. You are feeling confident and capable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will want to dig deeper than usual today to come up with the answers to one or two difficult questions. Don't shy away from the truth!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are far more interested in what is going on behind the scenes than you are in what might be waiting for you center stage.

Your Birthday for April 13, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 13th, 2018

Born today, you are one of the most well-rounded, confident and grounded individuals born under your sign. Still, you are capable of making huge mistakes that put much you hold dear in the balance! Your life is never dull, as there is always something brewing of import at which you find yourself at the head; you are likely to be the cause of much that happens in your life -- and you are always willing to take the credit or the blame for events both successful and unsuccessful. You can be somewhat visionary in your approach to even the most routine endeavors -- you know how to do things in such a way that they become singular and noteworthy.

You have a complex personality, and you're not easily pigeonholed. Just when a friend or loved one thinks he or she has you figured out, you're likely to behave in a way that blows his or her entire theory completely out of the water. You behave as you wish, regardless of the expectations of others.

SATURDAY, APRIL 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you give an inch, someone else is likely to take a mile today; you're going to have to be more stubborn and inflexible than usual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- While you are usually very strong in exactly the kind of situation you now find yourself, today you may show some signs of weakness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The more you do to try to win today, the less likely you will be to make the headway you are counting on. Just do your job; keep it simple.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to examine your internal rhythms and impulses today, before letting anyone else "dissect" you in any way. Protect yourself!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not know just what will come of your current efforts, but you are compelled to continue as long as you encounter no serious obstacles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A stroll down memory lane with an old friend brings you even closer together, perhaps in a way you had not foreseen. Is this even allowed?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can avoid resentment on all fronts by disconnecting that part of yourself that habitually reacts in a knee-jerk fashion. Be rational!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- How you approach a difficult situation with a friend will tell you and others a lot about your suitability for a new and difficult job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Things are not progressing according to plan, but you can make that work for you rather than against you. A rival makes a move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself scampering to get things done before someone else shows up on the scene and changes everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't want to find yourself caught between two irresistible, immovable forces today. Stay mobile; don't rest in one place for too long.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your creativity will be on display all day long -- but you can't expect everyone to enjoy the results. So much is a matter of taste.
