When people born on April 28 have decided on a chosen course of action, nothing can divert them from it. Energetic and radiant people, they can motivate others with their imposing emotional, physical and psychological presence. Life is a dance or an orchestra and they are the choreographer or conductor.
Among the most focused individuals of the entire year, they never give up until they see the light at the end of the tunnel. Others instinctively recognize their strength and dependability, and they are often the first to be called on for help during a crisis. They immediately take charge of situations, encouraging others to take positive action and coming up with workable solutions. They try to be as honest as they can be with everyone they meet. Some people may find them too blunt, but they would rather risk offending someone than be involved in any kind of deception.
They take great care to always look the part, and you will rarely find them looking anything less than their best. They are also able to stay in tune with what others are thinking and feeling; this helps them guide and direct others with sensitivity and respect, rather than with overbearing authority. Occasionally they can lapse into stubbornness, but this is often a manifestation of their fear of not being needed. They should learn that the greatest leaders, parents and guides are those who can give their charges or children the confidence and skills they need to survive without their support.
Cultivating a wide range of interests outside the home and learning to take themselves less seriously will help them develop the psychological strength to let others take control of their own lives. Fortunately, from the ages of twenty-three to fifty-three the pace of their life increases; they find new interests, skills and forms of communication. If they can take advantage of these opportunities for growth and diversification, they can use their powers of pragmatism, resourcefulness and creativity to single-mindedly work toward the fulfillment of their goals and their dreams.
