The assertive but warm-hearted individuals born on April 11 have the ability to see problems in both an emotional and a practical way, making them excellent problem solvers and mediators. They are capable of bringing even the most divergent of opinions into harmony with great charm and tact.
If there is a good cause to promote, these people are often the first to volunteer to help. They are eternally optimistic, with the ability to devote their energy and interpersonal skills to a plan of action, then promoting it with tenacity. They are also realistic enough to know that the support of others will benefit them; so they set out to charm and convert any opposition to their cause by means of skilled diplomacy.
Although they often find themselves the center of attention, these people do not purposely seek the limelight, preferring to be a part rather than a focus of the action. In their professional life, they are more concerned with ideas than image, working tirelessly to find common ground for agreement.
Unfortunately, they aren’t always as diplomatic in their private lives and at times they can be unresponsive to the needs of those closest to them. They often have plenty of admirers, loving nothing better than planning get-togethers where large numbers of people can mingle; but to their nearest and dearest they can be cool. Fortunately, around the age of forty they are likely to focus their energies less on financial security and popularity, and more on close friends and loved ones.
They also are great communicators, working particularly well when given charge of a team with the opportunity to inspire and encourage others. They run the risk that in knowing what is best for the common good they refuse to consider alternative viewpoints, so it is important for their psychological growth to keep their minds open to other, perhaps better, ways of doing things. Once they have learned greater flexibility, they can use their powers of persuasion, tenacity and clear-sightedness to champion justice, creating a more nurturing and peaceful world.
☆ On the dark side：Impersonal, unenthusiastic, selfish
☆ At your best：Diplomatic, intelligent, intuitive
Those born on April 1 1 do not have the overwhelming need to be a star, like many of the people born in the Aries II period. When they are at the center of the action it is generally due to their usefulness rather than ambition. What they are most comfortable with is being part of a decision-making team, in which they often play a dominant role.
It is ideas which most excite and stimulate April 11 people, not glory or prestige.
April 11 people are less concerned with developing a sparkling personality than with honing a message. They do not care for the high-blown verbiage that usually hides a rather mediocre or even non-existent idea. Those born on this day like to know what others think, straight out, without subterfuge. This does not mean that they themselves are incapable of subtlety or make poor diplomats. Actually, as mediators they can be quite superb, able not only to bring hostile parties together but also to reconcile widely diverging points of view.
Whether in the workplace, at home or among friends, April 11 people are often called upon when all else has failed and the unsaveable must be saved.
Given such talents, April 1 1 people are of course psychologically astute but also have the knack of finding common ground for agreement. Those born on this day have a profound understanding of ideas and language, as well as the power it carries. Often, however, in their personal lives they can be baffled and bewildered by what loved ones express, particularly if it is not to their liking. As good as they are in the diplomatic and policy-making areas, they may be on occasion surprisingly insensitive to the needs and wants of those closest to them.
Frequently those born on this day take on great responsibilities for the support, nurturing and education of their families, but nonetheless fall short. Sometimes the energy required to fulfill such commitments has been spent in other areas, and there just isn't enough left. In addition, those born on this day must beware of conflicts with those above them in the family hierarchy.
Because of their fine social skills, April 11 people do well in professions which involve working with others (e.g., social work), or planning for others (e.g., administrative positions).
Those born on this day are generally convinced that they know what is best for the common good, but must also learn to listen carefully to feedback. Deafness to objective evaluation of their work may stand in the way of their success; even worse is a gradual insulating of themselves from any criticism at all. April 11 people must always try to keep an open mind, and once having made a decision not be ashamed to change course if events warrant it.
Essentially, cultivating flexibility is crucial to those born on this day maintaining an integrity and effectiveness of action.
Power Thought：Today I will consider both sides of every argument，If there is any hope for the world it can onI) be in small acts ofpersonal kindness
Those born on the 11th dayof any month are ruled by the number 2 (1 + 1 = 2). and by the Moon. Those ruled by the number 2 are gentle and imaginative by nature. They are capable of lending wise counsel to projects without demanding the ego rewards of being number 1. As Aries, however, they must beware of the martian influences of anger, hot-headedness and overconfidence in their character; emotional instability may also be indicated by a Moon-Mars connection. Thus the challenge for April 11 people is to be masters of themselves, not of others. Those born on a double number day (11, 22) may have a special interest in doubles of various kinds, including twins, coincidences and symmetry.
The 11th card of the Major Arcana is Justice, a serene seated woman holding the scales in one hand and a sword in the other. She reminds us of the order of the universe and that balance and harmony will be maintained in our lives as long as we continue on our path. The positive aspects of this card are integrity, fairness, honesty and discipline; the negative aspects are low initiative, impersonality, fear of innovation and grievances.
☆Luck maker：(Don’t over commit yourself)If your list of “to dos” is too long, decide what you are going to do and cross the other items off. This will attract luck because by being selective you will notice an increased energy and clarity of mind.

Never short of potential partners, some might consider the charming and popular people born on April 11 a bit of a tease; but often their coolness is because they don’t give their heart until they are absolutely certain that affections will be returned. When they do commit to a relationship, however, they are warm, loyal and romantic.
People born on this day need to make sure they give themselves plenty of time to relax and unwind as they suffer from a tendency to push themselves too hard, especially mentally. They would benefit enormously from nature walks where they can observe the magical workings of the natural world. Sleep is also of great importance as they need more than most, and they should avoid burning the midnight oil as this will have a negative impact on their health. As far as diet is concerned they are unlikely to have problems with their weight, but if they do they should eat more nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and cut back on refined and processed foods rich in sugar, salt and additives. Regular exercise will also boost their thinking skills and encourage them to take time out. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color green will help restore natural healing and balance in their lives.
Getting plenty of sleep is very important to people born on April 1 1, as it will help them maintain their composure and calm. In addition, frequent rest periods, whether weekends or extended vacations, are a must. Occupations like teaching which guarantee such time off may be attractive to those born on this day. Since April 11 is primarily a day of strong mental energy, those born on this day must take care not to neglect their physical side (regular sex with a loved one is strongly advised). Moderate exercise is recommended for April 11 people, just enough to keep in shape and invigorate the body. Eating a well-balanced diet also does wonders for stabilizing them. If weight is not a problem, as many as three well-rounded meals a day, served at regular hours, will be both healthful and enjoyable.
People born on this day are ideally suited for careers in which they can help others find common ground, such as negotiation, translation and diplomacy. They also make great agents, teachers, counselors, psychologists, politicians, judges, and social workers. They have the business skills and charm to succeed in sales and marketing, and the communication skills needed for careers in management, the clergy and charity work.
The life path of people born on this day is to recognize the importance of relaxation and quiet emotional fulfillment. Once they are able to do that, their destiny is to enlist the support of others to their progressive ideals.
Have an open mind. Don't take on too many responsibilities Keep your energy flowing; use it or lose it. Be more sensitive to the personal needs of those closes! to you. Control your temper and beware of family conflicts
