Your Birthday for April 06, 2019

Your Birthday | April 6th, 2019

Born today, you are a skilled observer of other people, and you are able to determine much about them simply by watching them go about their business on a daily basis. There is a danger inherent in this, however. You may never become involved yourself, but rather sit back and simply let the world pass you by. This is not something you want to do, so you had better learn to use what you were taught about human nature in some kind of active manner; shape it into a line of work and you can certainly be happy.

You love praise -- and who does not? You cannot abide criticism, however, and when others find fault in something you have done, no matter how small or trivial, you almost invariably shut down completely, having been rendered incapable of moving forward. This is not something that will serve you well in the real world, and it must be addressed.

Also born on this date are: Paul Rudd, actor; Michael Rooker, actor; Merle Haggard, singer; Billy Dee Williams, actor; John Ratzenberger, actor; Marilu Henner, actress; Barry Levinson, director.

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.

SUNDAY, APRIL 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be trying to push your limits too hard lately. Today, try settling back into a groove that doesn't demand too much of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you can't do what you had hoped today, at least do what you know you are able to do. Be realistic in your expectations of others as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be contacted regarding something that you are only partially connected with, but soon you'll find yourself fully involved.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are able to exceed your own expectations as well as the expectations of someone who has been watching over you. A difficult time is passing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be frustrated by your inability to explain yourself effectively to someone who is unable to see what you are really doing. Be patient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can move ahead at an easy pace today, without making too many waves or rocking the boat in any way. It's smooth sailing for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to make yourself comfortable, but there is a line you must not cross. Today, you'll have to strike a careful balance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to observe what is happening around you with great care today, for tomorrow you may be asked to take charge in some way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Confusion arises today when you try to do too much at any one time; limit yourself to what is required -- and what you want to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who is in a bind reaches out to you, but the help that he or she asks for may be more than you are willing to give. Be honest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are on a path that promises to take you somewhere you've long wanted to go, but there may be many side trips along the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can demonstrate something that makes a big difference to those who have the good fortune to watch today. Progress is made quickly.

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.

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.
