he audacious individuals who celebrate birthdays on April Fool’s Day really are the fools who “rush in where angels fear to tread.” However, there is nothing foolish about your reasons for venturing into the unknown. You are action personified, a crusading champion of the underdog who fights for those who are unable to wage their own battles. Driven by a volatile combination of courage, impatience, and the need to always be first, you will let no power on Earth stop you once you’ve made up your mind to do something.
Ariens born on April 1 can’t abide inactivity. When nothing is happening, their inclination is to stir the pot in order to get things moving again. No matter what the project, you just want to get on with it. With your pioneering spirit and “go-go” nature, it’s very difficult for you to follow established guidelines. Besides, you have some very strong opinions and a warrior-like confidence in your
own ideas and abilities. People cannot fail to be impressed by your aura of invincibility, and inevitably some of them will start depending on you to lead the way. That is okay with you, so long as they don’t start making too many suggestions about how things should be done.
In an intimate relationship, you’re ardent and romantic. However, you thrive on challenge and change, and if the union becomes dull or routine, you may lose interest.

n people born on this day, the bold individualism of Aries is complimented and harmoniously counter- balanced by the cooperation and diplomacy of the root number two. You have all of the typical ram’s directness, yet you’re more willing to listen to the other person’s side of the story before making decisions. Consequently, you function better in a partnership situation than most other members of your Sun sign. Nevertheless, you sometimes you feel as if you are being bombarded by contradictory impulses. At those times, your actions may conflict with your deepest needs and feelings.
You’re an ambitious, determined go-getter, yet your energy tends to come in spurts. Physically, you alternate between industrious periods of intense activity and times of pure relaxation and social interaction. Your mental processes also follow a rather erratic pattern in which your
mind bounces from idea to idea without following any system of logical progression. You have an artistic temperament and possess either creative talents of your own or a fine appreciation for beauty and culture. You enjoy the good things in life and relish the company of amiable, interesting people.
Affectionate, outgoing, and sociable, you probably don’t lack for romantic partners. But you may feel torn between your desire for independence and the need for a close relationship. However, without an intimate relationship, you feel incomplete, so partnership usually wins out in the end.

he exuberant, charismatic rams born on this day have the sort of universal appeal that makes them welcome wherever they go. Your eternally youthful outlook and bubbling personality exude sparks of life. You’re such a delightful companion that you just can’t help attracting friends and admirers. You love people and truly enjoy the interaction of lively social gatherings, yet you value your freedom and independence above all else. A consummate bundle of energy, you always seem to be on your way to or from someplace new and exciting. You’re not afraid to take risks, because you believe that things will work out your way—and they usually do.
Aries, when combined with the number three, produce multi-talented, hard working, and ambitious individuals. This makes you a natural leader with a genuine distaste for occupying subordinate positions. Charm,
intelligence, foresight, and versatility make it easy for you to climb the ladder of success. You’re best known for your strong powers of persuasion and your ability to communicate your ideas to others. You like to talk and exchange information and will rarely pass up a chance to join a spirited debate or discussion.
In intimate relationships, you’re ardent, straightforward, and sincere, but you fall in and out of love rather easily. Since you prefer variety and excitement to safety and security, fidelity is probably not your strongest suit.

he people born on this day are among the most grounded of all the rams. Hard working, prag- matic, ambitious, and focused, you have little trouble directing your prodigious energy into concrete achievements. Your practicality and the ability to transform big ideas into workable realities often come as a surprise to those who think they know what to expect from an Aries. The inner tensions you often feel come from the discordant nature of the conflicting signals you receive from your freewheeling Sun sign and the cautious vibration of the number four. Sometimes you rush ahead to meet a challenge head on, but on other occasions you organize and plan before attacking.
The creative, capable April 4th individual can make his or her mark in virtually any professional field. However, you may find that you’re most comfortable pursuing a career in business or the arts. You have a vivid imagination
and a knack for mixing your artistic talent with commercial know-how. You’re a builder who thoroughly enjoys working on things that are as practical and useful as they are innovative and unusual. Instinct tells you what the public wants and what you need to do to provide it.
Your close relationships also tend to be full of contradictions. On the one hand, you desire freedom and independence, yet on the other, you want the security of a solid, long-term union.

he most obvious thing about those whose birthdays fall on April 5 is their star quality. Typically, you can talk circles around most people, and your forte is the ability to mix persuasive words with bold actions. You view life as a performance with you in the leading role. Because you equate admiration with love, you constantly worry about the impression you’re making on other people. Unlike other Aries natives, you’re very concerned with your public image—so much so that you may have difficulty separating your true self from the dramatic persona you’ve created.
The free-spirited rams born on this day are drawn to innovative ventures and progressive enterprises. Those around you are attracted by your genial personality and open-minded acceptance of all types of people. It’s no surprise that you’re popular and make friends easily. Your
restless nature needs a creative outlet, but thanks to your abundant energy and sharp intellect, there is constant feedback between your ideas and your actions. You usually know exactly what you want to do, and you’re not afraid to plunge right in and do it.
Although you can be as fiery and ardent as any ram, you prize your freedom and independence too much to get overly intimate or clingy. In a long-term relationship, sharing interests and companionship are as important to you as passion and romance.

ams born on this day are charming and diplomatic, but they’re also bold, determined go-getters. Your happiness may depend on your ability to maintain some kind of balance between your driving need to “make it” in the material world and your inner desire for peace and harmony. No matter what you do in life, you want to come out on top. Yet you’ll go out of your way to avoid stepping over people on your climb up the ladder of success. Your instincts as an idealist and Good Samaritan can even cause you to suppress your own powerful ambition in the interest of fairness and justice.
You are one Aries who is generally content working with partners. Although you may realize your greatest potential in tandem with others, what you really want is to be first among equals. You can be a team player when the occasion demands, but you still prefer being at the head of the team. You’re extremely sociable and able to get along
with almost anyone you meet. However, you tend to gravitate toward those who share your cultural interests and love of art and beauty.
In intimate relationships, you’re affectionate and warm-hearted. More sentimental than the typical forthright Aries, you enjoy the stylized rituals of courtly romance almost as much as the earthy passion of physical lovemaking.

ike the Tarot’s Page of Swords or the members of the monastic military order of the Knights Templar, the April 7th person is a fascinating bundle of contradictions. Are you a warrior or a mystic, an aggressive fighter for what you believe or a spiritual hermit in search of solitude? Linked to the Greek Athena, a warrior goddess and a goddess of wisdom, those born on this date are an uneasy combination of the outspoken crusader and contemplative scholar. Nevertheless, your capacity for blending your pioneering spirit, creative imagination, and inventive, logical thinking is truly impressive.
Thanks to your Aries Sun, you come off as self- motivated and extremely confident, yet you’re considerably more open minded and receptive to outside influences than most other rams. Part doer and part idealistic dreamer, you truly believe in your own ability to overcome any
adversity and win out in the end. Although personal success is important to you, you also enjoy using your talents and abilities to improve conditions for everyone. As a leader or manager, you inspire the entire team with your novel ideas and fresh approach to problem solving.
Your loving, passionate nature yearns for a long-term relationship with a home and a family, but you may be too preoccupied with your own interests and career commitments to settle down in one place and actually stay put.

eople born on this day are the ultimate go-getters. You view life as a series of challenges, and you’re determined to overcome them all. Whether as a creative entrepreneur or the executive of an established corporation, you have a knack for gaining the respect and cooperation of others. A dynamic mix of realism and idealism has you upholding tradition one moment and flying in the face of it the next. Some of your innovative ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, yet they succeed because they’re built on a firm foundation of common sense and business acumen.
Those who celebrate birthdays on this date are rather less colorful than others of their Sun sign. The ram’s inclination to race full speed ahead is tempered by the number eight’s more cautious approach. Innately practical and opportunistic, you keep your eye on the prize and waste little time or energy on nonproductive enterprises. You automatically assume that you’re right until proven
wrong, so when you make a request, you usually refuse to take no for an answer.
Your emotional nature is more controlled than that of the typical ram, and you may have difficulty sharing your deepest feelings with your significant other. Where love is concerned, you’re not into playing games. You are loyal and dependable; when you make a commitment, you stick by it.

eople with birthdays on April 9 are a fascinating blend of charisma, artistry, and spirituality. Despite your assertive personality, inside you’re more of a poet than a warrior. Your compassionate, kind nature can make you an easy mark for a good sob story. As a gallant crusader for truth and justice, you’re not afraid to fight for the things you believe in. However, you much prefer the peaceful path of compromise and mutual agreement. Moreover, you’re more receptive to outside influences than the average ram and less likely to make mistakes based on rash decisions.
Rams born on this day are fond of animals and humans. If you come upon a stray of any species, your impulse is to take it in and care for it. You’re capable of motivating and inspiring those around you because you understand their problems. Forward looking and intuitive,
you zero in on possibilities others usually miss. With your enterprising spirit, eloquent powers of persuasion, and insight into society’s needs, you can be a dynamic force for change in the world. No matter what you do in life, your talent for correctly sizing up situations gives you a decided edge over the competition.
You’re so romantic and idealistic that you let your heart rule your head. Although you are perfectly willing to make sacrifices for a loved one, you expect similar treatment in return. If it is not forthcoming, you may be severely disillusioned.

Aries, 1
ams born on this day are the pioneers and trail- blazers who always seem to be one step ahead of their companions. Energetic, adventurous, and courageous, you’re a dynamic force for progress and change. Your sunny disposition and generous nature attract people and guarantee you a warm welcome wherever you go. Inherently sociable, you enjoy time spent with friends and acquaintances. However, it’s difficult for you to slow down, even with your closest associates. Restless and impatient, you have a tendency to race through life as if you’re afraid of missing out on something important.
The April 10th individual is an extremely self- confident nonconformist with razor-sharp perceptions. When called upon to make a snap decision, you go with your intuition, and your choice is usually the right one.
Once you decide to do something, you don’t seek anyone’s approval but your own. Since you find it easier to compete than cooperate, the only team you care to play on is one you lead. With your abundant, fiery energy, you are action personified. You cannot abide inactivity. If life gets too quiet, you stir things up just to get them moving again.
You are passionate and romantic. Although you like being half of a couple, responsi- bility and fidelity are not your strongest points. When the thrill begins to fade, you may decide to leave or look elsewhere for excitement.
