Most people born on this day are essentially kind, but some may get swept away and make more conventional people feel dull and even afraid. Terrifying others is never an attractive characteristic, and always rebounds on you.

April 24 people make terrific parents and unconventional lovers, because they resist any kind of cliché in their thinking. Nobody born today thinks others should behave in a certain way if it makes them unhappy. Good news for their tearaway kids. Good news for their love-life too because they have an open mind about everything. Not such good news for the parents of young April 24, who probably won't agree with anything their parents say, certainly won't do what they are told, and will probably drive teachers at school mad with their questions.
This is a day which questions everything, especially the status quo. At work, they can't understand why bosses are supposed to know less about certain parts of the organisation than the workers. As bosses themselves, they make sure that all managers mix with the workers, understand the business from the floor upwards and don't behave patronisingly to employees. They are also careful to maintain a healthy environment for people at work. Kind and fair, employees like them. Managers are frightened of what they will think up next. And it's likely to be no private offices, no company cars and everybody eating together in the canteen.
They throw a great party at work and at home. These are the people who shine at karaoke, dance brilliantly and often play in their own band. Some go on to make a career in showbusiness, where they will be known for their innovative style and infectious energy. On stage, everybody likes working with them because they are generous about others' talent, and always good for a laugh.
Many people born on this day are keen on sport, sometimes overkeen according to their long suffering lovers and friends, who have to listen and enthuse until tears of boredom flow. Their homes will be tapped into cable and satellite for the sport, and newspapers seized first for the sports pages.
You are sociable and enjoy a little flirting from time to time, but what you really want is a grand passion with your one true love. You flourish in the safety of a secure intimate union. When you find “the one,” you’re prepared to remain loyal and committed to the end. In a loving relationship, you are ardent and romantic. However, you can also be rather possessive and demanding. You view a romantic alliance as an ongoing courtship. When you’re in love, you can be quite lavish in expressing your feelings through gifts, words, and physical displays of affection.
For you, one of the best things about making love is the shared experience of exploring the world of the physical senses through sexual contact. Despite your practical, down-to-earth nature regarding the mundane issues of daily life, you want passion and romance in the bedroom. A sensual, enthusiastic lover, you find great pleasure in being able to gratify your partner’s desires.
However, the setting must be just right and appeal to your love of comfort and luxury.
April 24 people can suffer from physical tension, or simply muscle strain. They get this from sport, just horsing around, and moving through life fast. An aromatic bath may be the answer. It's not expensive, helps skin disorders, relieves muscular and other pains, and induces restful sleep. Some essential oils can be an irritant to the skin if you use more than three drops. So be careful of basil, ginger, fennel, orange and peppermint. Sandalwood is one of the mildest and you may safely use up to 10 drops in your bath. Sprinkle the drops after you have run the bath.
You respond to beauty and culture in all its forms, and a would-be suitor should appeal to your highly developed artistic sense. You come alive during a romantic evening out at the theater or a concert. A bit of mild teasing and flirting can help woo you into the bedroom, but once there, you will expect some really intense, passionate lovemaking.
Most people born on this day are essentially kind, but some may get swept away and make more conventional people feel dull and even afraid. Terrifying others is never an attractive characteristic, and always rebounds on you.
Preferring to work carefully, in a step-by-step manner, you rarely rush into anything. You’re constantly on the lookout for more efficient ways to get things done. Despite being a slow starter, you pace yourself well. Once you get going, your tenacious determination all but guarantees your commitment to stay with a task or project until completion.
