People born on April 13 are born reformers, willing to work tirelessly to make changes they consider crucial. They are an endless source of new ideas and, although some of these might be considered eccentric, people appreciate their unusual approach to problem solving.
These highly intelligent people can often handle tasks that most others find exacting. They excel at resolving problems and coming up with a better way of doing things. Mental stimulation is essential to them and if they don’t feel challenged they can get easily bored and restless, with a tendency to fidget. They don’t like sitting still and try to inject as much activity as they can into every moment. Their propensity to seek out new challenges is particularly highlighted after the age of thirty-seven, when their focus changes from that of material stability to intellectual curiosity.
These people don’t actively seek out the company of others because they are essentially private, preferring to connect with the world and make their mark through their work. Their greatest satisfaction comes from moving humanity forward or from employing their considerable talents in projects that benefit others. They derive great satisfaction from the comfort and support of a few close friends and family, preferably those who validate their vision and provide them with support when their ideas are criticized. Although skeptical of convention and compelled to seek out alternative solutions, they are nonetheless deeply sensitive to the opinions of others; even if these opinions hurt, they are rarely deflected from their chosen course.

But when the time feels right they can overcome any fear or hesitation they might have and, like the true pioneers they are, can step out with boldness, often breaking new ground in the process.

Those born on the 13th day of the month are ruled by the number 4 (1+3=4), and by the planet Uranus. The planet Uranus often indicates change, perhaps jarring or sudden change, and erratic, unconventional behavior; such a potential for instability is magnified in April 13 people by the influence of Mars (ruler of Aries). The number 4 traditionally represents rebellion, idiosyncratic beliefs and a desire to change the rules, and thus the desire of April 13 people to shake up the status quo is strongly reinforced.

In this respect alcohol consumption can be particularly destructive. One way to deal with all of these difficulties is to establish regular patterns of work and exercise. Many April 13 people are naturally athletic; various forms of sport and physical workout (long walks, swimming, aerobics) are recommended. Regularly scheduled meals and an upbeat approach to food may be the best medicine for April 13 people.
