People born on April 14 often have outstanding communication skills and a wonderful way with people. Their obvious leadership skills earn them the admiration of others. Whatever situation or line of work they find themselves in, others tend to listen to and respect them.
The respect of others matters greatly to these people, as they themselves have great respect for the past and a strong desire to follow in the footsteps of others. Creating new systems or methods doesn’t interest them as much as reaching the heights others have already scaled. This doesn’t mean they’re stuck in the past; quite the opposite, as they will always put a unique stamp on their work. It just means they have a powerful sense of tradition and great respect for the work of others. As a result, conservative methods will often be preferred to more radical ones.
These people are at their happiest and best when their home and work lives are stable, giving them the feeling of security they need to excel in their chosen field. It is therefore important for them not to take the love and support of those closest to them for granted. Until the age of thirty-six they concentrate on material security, building a solid foundation. After the age of thirty-seven they enter a period of new ideas and increased productivity during which they may use their excellent communication skills to become a mouthpiece for an organization or group.
These people like to be in control, both at work and at home, but despite this autocratic tendency they are also intuitive, often quick to realize when they have crossed the line, adjusting their behavior accordingly. Their respectful attitude toward others serves them well, their success rarely being resented. Even though they do suffer from bouts of anxiety and uncertainty—manifested in their obsession with details—it is important that they put their talents to good use because all forms of communication invigorate their lives, so they not only follow in the footsteps of the great, but become great themselves.
☆ On the dark side:Fussy, anxious, autocratic
☆ At your best:Respectful, ambitious, disciplined
April 14 people have a great sense of tradition. Often students of history, whether general history or that of a particular field or family, they are interested in establishing themselves in a long line of thinkers or doers. Those born on this day are very concerned with finding their proper place in society; often this place is at the head of a group, although they rarely have outstanding leadership abilities. It is more possible that simply through their presence or image, a strong respect, worship or even fear is inspired in those around them. The more highly evolved of April 14 people need only to be respected; less highly evolved, more insecure April 14 people wish to be worshiped and obeyed. These latter people must beware of being carried away by their ideas and indulging in underhanded, highly dubious behavior in order to achieve their ends.

April 14 people often have a remarkable insight into how their occupation and those of others have progressed through time, and consequently, what the future may hold. These are not people who value change for its own sake; they tend to be extremely conservative. Even revolutionary personalities born on this day may found their rebellion on what they feel are traditional values.

Many want their families to be understanding of their need to pursue a career, and at the same time wish to reign as queen at home.

Indeed, the danger for April 14 personalities of both sexes is that they will become autocratic in their sphere of influence, dictating to their families, friends and associates.
April 14 people do well to establish themselves in stable work, family or living situations as soon as possible. They do not do well with experiments in lifestyle or with changes of occupation, and need to be firmly grounded before they can be productive. The best work for an April 14 person involves a series of projects in which he/she completes one and moves to the next in an orderly, methodical manner. In general, it is better if those born on this day do not suffer too much down-time between projects, which can engender restlessness and uncertainty. Learning to be patient with associates and being aware of the needs of family are the means by which April 14 people may avoid personal conflicts and unhappiness.

Those born on the 14th day of the month are ruled by the number 5 (1+4=5). and by the planet Mercury. The number 5 and Mercury both stand for change and indicate impatience for plodding behavior; coupled with the influence of Mars (ruler of Aries) this suggests a need for forceful, even impulsive action. Consequently, typical April 14 people may become periodically dissatisfied with what they are doing, even when things are going well. Fortunately, the number 5 bestows a resilient character and the capacity to recover quickly from the hard knocks of life.
The 14th card of the Major Arcana is Temperance. The figure shown is a guardian angel who protects us and keeps us on an even keel. This is a wonderful message for April 14 people, if they will only heed it. Those born on this day should avoid all forms of egotistical excess. Positively seen, Temperance allows us to modify our passions and thus learn new truths and incorporate them in our daily lives. Because some of the bad characteristics of the Temperance card include inconstancy and trendiness, April 14 people should be careful of trying to adapt themselves too much to current fashion or established tradition, in effect becoming too sociable at the expense of individual thoughts and feelings.

It may take them a long time to get ready in the morning or to decide on exactly the right outfit for a specific occasion.
