People born on April 17 are confident, ambitious and opportunistic individuals. When knocked down, they have the will-power and resilience to bounce right back. They know their own mind, having a clear idea of where they are going and how to get there. Determined to succeed, they also have a talent for spotting opportunities, not just for themselves, but for others.
Despite often being quietly spoken, the impression these people make on others is often strong because they promote their ideals with absolute conviction. They expect others to agree with them and, because of their intense will-power, others often do. They also have the ability to translate their ideals into action and may find themselves leading those who are less determined. Although it can seem as if they were born to be successful, they do have to work hard to get to the top. This isn’t a problem for them, though, as they do whatever it takes to make their mark. They thrive on challenge and love a good battle and, in the process, make either loyal friends or resentful enemies.
These people are prone to mood swings and like to spend time alone when dark moments are upon them. Although this can be beneficial in their professional relationships, in their personal relationships it can be detrimental; refusing to share their ups and downs limits the depth of close bonds. Their tendency is to divide everything into positive and negative; just as it’s important for them to appreciate the complexity of their emotional life, they also need to acknowledge the complexities in the world around them. Until the age of thirty-three they strive for security and certainty, but after the age of thirty-four they may move toward a more flexible world view.
It is important for them to ensure that their amazing will-power does not make them too judgmental or serious. Once they inject a little light-heartedness into their lives, they will discover that their authority isn’t weakened but strengthened, and that wherever their dreams take them, others will gladly follow.
☆ On the dark side：Moody, judgmental, harsh
☆ At your best：Purposeful, opportunistic, resilient

These are definitely people who expect to be listened to when they speak. As a matter of fact, being ignored in any manner is extremely difficult for them to handle. They know that they count, that they are important, and often they expect that others will pay respect and follow them to the ends of the earth, if necessary.
Some born on this day may make a quiet impression at first, but one can nevertheless feel the force submerged in them. If an April 17 person is as yet unaware of his/her power urges, it will only be a matter of time before some crucial incident in life brings these to the fore.
Those born on this day may be deeply interested in philosophy or religion, for powerful ideas often attract powerful people. They may also seek to ally themselves with strong individuals and institutions. For them, everything that is established of a social nature is to be defended and served to the fullest. Yet they also despise bullies and will seek to bring down those w-ho abuse privilege or position. Those born on this day may themselves come from quite humble backgrounds, but never forget their roots.
April 17 people cherish their willpower and sharply reasoning mind above all else. They have a kind of shrewdness or cunning that will lead them out of the most difficult situations.

Unevolved April 17 people may be carried away by egotism and greed. A desire to indulge the pleasures of the mind as well as the body can become all-consuming pursuits for some born on this day. Learning to be less possessive by giving up material possessions from time to time will be an important lesson for them to learn. Actually, every individual born on this day should beware of selfishness, especially in the name of family, where it passes as filial or parental responsibility. Eventually these individuals may come to realize that they are part of one human family and find a realistically helpful role relative to the common good.
April 17 people take themselves seriously, perhaps too much so. They have to remember to laugh at themselves from time to time—discover a lighter side of life, perhaps cultivate pastimes.
They should also try to be less judgmental; it is very important for them to live and let live, and the sooner the better.
Power Thought：Today I am prepared to look at myself and the world differently，Laughter is the best medium
Those born on the 17th day of the month are ruled by the number 8 ( 1+7=8), and by the planet Saturn. April 17 people may be unduly attached to material possessions and Saturn, which carries with it a strong feeling of limitation and restriction, may add to this problem. In addition. Saturn tends to carry a judgmental aspect as well, increasing the already present tendency of April 17 people to be overly severe in their criticism of others. However, the combined influences of Mars (ruler of Aries) and Saturn can sometimes cause them to become too accommodating and self-effacing in order to gain the adulation they need. The number 8 carries a conflict between the material and spiritual worlds; those ruled by the number 8 can be lonely, and also prone to indulge in excess.
In the Major Arcana the 17th card is The Star, which shows a beautiful naked girl under the stars pouring refreshing water on the parched earth with one pitcher and reviving the stagnant water of a pond with another. She represents the glories of the earthly life, but also material enslavement to it. The stars above her are an eternal reminder of the spiritual world. April 17 people are thus warned against excessive physicality at the expense of something higher.
