Your Birthday for April 05, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 5th, 2019

Born today, you are the kind of person to get into everything -- and that means when you were young you were likely to get into a great deal of trouble, not knowing what was proper. When you are older, however, this ability to keep busy doing anything and everything, even at all hours, will surely give you an advantage over others that ushers you directly to the threshold of unimaginable success. Of course, that's not guaranteed, for by itself it can be of little use; you must be willing to focus that energy, to parlay one success into several and to define what it is you really want.

Like others born under your sign, you can be quite sensitive and emotional, but also quite aggressive and hard. Which you are at any given time depends a great deal upon the circumstances -- and on what happened to you just before the encounter.

Also born on this date are: Pharrell Williams, rapper; Juicy J, rapper; Bette Davis, actress; Colin Powell, military leader and statesman; Booker T. Washington, educator; Spencer Tracy, actor; Gregory Peck, actor; Judith Resnik, Challenger astronaut.

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.

SATURDAY, APRIL 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be feeling stuck today, but through a creative opportunity you should be able to break free and satisfy your needs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A plan recently made may have to fall apart a bit before you can put it back together and make it better than it was before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are reacting to something that was never intended, and in that way you are making an accidental occurrence worse than it really was.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to work hard today to find a reason to keep doing the very thing you feel strongest about. What does this paradox mean?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be caught off guard today by someone who is behaving very much out of character. The best thing to do is get out of the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're moving things forward while a rival is trying to move them backward, and the conflict may well consume your entire day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be judging your own work through a lens that doesn't let you see things realistically. It's time to listen to someone else.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're very interested in seeing something done in the most decent and fair manner possible, and it may be up to you to do it that way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've had it with the kinds of sacrifices that have been asked of you lately. Today, you must stand your ground and keep what's yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You needn't bend to someone else's will just because he or she is more aggressive or bombastic. He or she is just being a bully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know how to make things more harmonious both at home and at the workplace. Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You feel like you need a break from the kinds of issues that have consumed you as of late. You may be able to grab a few quiet moments today.

Your Birthday for April 04, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 4th, 2019

Born today, you are always on the lookout for something more to do, and when you spot it, you will jump at it with all cylinders clicking away. Never one to waste a chance at doing something others have not done -- or cannot do -- you will even endanger yourself to try something to which you are simply unsuited. You don't know when to quit, usually, and you have been known to work yourself to the point of exhaustion. You can be, at times, a little too self-involved. You can benefit from helping those around you.

You are certainly charismatic, and you're sure to attract a great deal of attention, but sometimes you will find yourself in the spotlight when you are, in fact, doing something that would be better ignored or overlooked. Like anyone else, you do not always do the right thing, but when that happens to you, it's more likely to be noticed.

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.

FRIDAY, APRIL 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can combine hard work and good fun today in a way that attracts others into your orbit. Don't stop now -- things are clicking!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may choose to lie low for a while today, but know that you run the risk of missing something rather important. Try to stay alert.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may require a little break in the action today, even as you find yourself coming down to the wire. You know what you can afford.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to put a perceived offense behind you. A friend or loved one cannot help you if you're unwilling to help yourself in this way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It may be time to move on to something else, even though the work you're doing right now hasn't yet paid off. Other essentials are calling to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A key issue proves a sticking point today as you try to negotiate with someone who sees things very differently. Listen to reason!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Certainty may elude you today, but you can get very far on a hunch. Someone you know well makes a mistake you can correct in no time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A new opportunity arises today, and you're in the right position to make the most out of it -- though hard work will soon be required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can put on a demonstration that is not only widely appreciated and enjoyed, but that also teaches many an important lesson.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may discover that not everyone is willing to support you in your efforts. The question is, must you change, or must they?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what you're looking for, but you're not looking in the right places. The search should come to an end today or tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't squander a second chance today. Take it seriously, and don't focus too much on what is expected. Do what you must.

Your Birthday for April 03, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 3rd, 2019

Born today, you're a lively individual with tremendous vision and verve, and anything you set your mind to trying can and will be tried -- and if you succeed at it, all the better! You have been endowed with many talents, but not necessarily the self-knowledge required to use them to the fullest at every opportunity. You are somewhat mercurial, and certainly inconsistent; even those who know you best cannot say with any degree of certainty what you might do next. When backed into a corner, you can put up quite a fight.

You often see things in very simple terms, which can be an advantage in some things -- but often it puts you at a disadvantage because you are unable or unwilling to see the complexities that are at play in a given situation. You are the kind of person to look back at your younger self and think, "Ah, those were the days!"

Also born on this date are: 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; Virgil Gus Grissom, astronaut; Tony Orlando, singer; Picabo Street, Olympic skier; Dooley Wilson, actor.

THURSDAY, APRIL 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A moment of recognition proves most important to you today -- and to that certain someone who is in your sights. Something's going on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your manner of dealing with the things others don't want to deal with will likely be in the spotlight on at least two occasions today. Be ready.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone is eager to follow in your footsteps, but you may have reason to warn him or her against following too closely -- at least for now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your creativity is likely to be in the spotlight today. Do what you know how to do, and if asked to do something else, you can politely decline.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something real is likely to have quite an impact on you today, especially if you are the only one to realize just how important it may be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can get far with someone who is usually very hard to work with, but take care that you don't give away too many secrets too soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to hit upon an idea that can serve you quite well, albeit not quite in the way that you had anticipated. See where this goes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in the spotlight today quite by accident, but you can focus the attention of your audience on something important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may want to alert someone to a coming danger without knowing quite how to do it. It's important to be as specific as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Money issues are on your mind today. If you think a certain something isn't going to matter, you're mistaken. Take it all in and react.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will want to think twice when someone says he or she doesn't mind. You suspect something serious lies beneath the surface; dig it up!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not have the precision that some think is required today, but you certainly have the spark that others may not have.
