People born on April 2 have a fresh, youthful outlook and a utopian view of the world. The purity of their intentions and genuine belief in their dreams of a better world can earn them great respect. They are also extremely compassionate and never fail to be moved by the suffering of others.
These people love to talk about their dreams and vision of a better future. These dreams, however, often don’t take into account the possibility of obstacles or complications, so this idealism can test the patience of those with a more realistic approach to life. They may also become so passionate in their convictions that they are unable or unwilling to see differing viewpoints, which may alarm others.
When they have problems inspiring a similar level of zeal in others, these people may alienate themselves from a group with their inability to compromise. It’s important for them to have a more objective view of the impact their ideals have on others and to try to find less aggressive ways of enlisting others’ support. Between the ages of eighteen and forty-eight their tendency to express their convictions too forcefully is heightened, so they should learn to accept differences of opinion, tempering their idealism with realism; this will increase their chances of success and protect them from disappointment. After the age of forty-nine they become more flexible and more willing to entertain different viewpoints.
These people with a strong sense of justice do possess a subtle power and once they have learned to discipline and direct it positively, they have enormous potential to overcome almost any obstacle. Their motives may be misunderstood and criticized as naïve and futile, but this is unlikely to deter them. What matters to them isn’t what others think but their personal vision and being true to themselves and their beliefs. As long as they direct their passion to goals that are worthy of them, their honesty, single-mindedness and determination to see the best in everybody can help even the most cynical believe in undreamed-of possibilities.
☆ On the dark side：Naïve, insecure, vulnerable
☆ At your best：Idealistic, generous, pure
Those born on April 2 are extremely idealistic in their approach to life. Largely because of this characteristic, they may have problems getting to where they want to go in their careers. The sometimes naive view of the world embraced by their childlike natures does not always complement a hard-driving urge to succeed. Only after finding their purpose in life and accepting the limitations of their capabilities, perhaps even reconciling themselves to a lower station, are they able to utilize their considerable energy to the fullest.
Until they reach this point, however, they may well flounder.
People born on April 2 are usually family-oriented, particularly men. For such an April 2 man, his home is his castle, his family his court. This can create problems from time to time, particularly if one of his children does not feel comfortable in the role of a subject.
April 2 people are forever talking about their ideals, their dreams, their visions. It often takes tremendous patience on the part of those around them to handle their idealism, particularly colleagues who are much more pragmatic and regard such thinking as being of the fairytale variety. Because April 2 people can exist mentally in another world, their honesty and single-mindedness often cause others to misunderstand them and their motives. Due to their purity of vision, those born on this day often find it difficult to compromise and regard a lack of understanding or agreement from a fellow worker as a betrayal.
Often well-loved by others, April 2 people must be careful not to drive friends to distraction with their ideas; they must learn to compromise, something mostly foreign to them. They too often see the world in black and white terms, an alienating stance. But because they are so human, so uncalculating. open and giving, they will be quickly forgiven their anger and minor day-to-day emotional difficulties. In addition, they often espouse the cause of the underdog, or the downtrodden, which can earn them the animosity of the powerful but also friends and admirers.
The emotions of others often bewilder April 2 people, who sometimes need to run up against crises, difficulties and even disasters to be able to recognize similar emotions in themselves.
Those born on this day can be oblivious to what others think of them. Consequently, it may be a long time before they come to realize that not everyone appreciates their extreme, albeit pure, viewpoints. If branded as troublemakers, they may take the resulting decisions made against them rather hard.
Power Thought：It is easy for me to adapt to the ebb and flow of my life，By keeping alive to what is happening we live in the present
Those born on the 2nd day of the month are ruled by the number 2 and by the Moon. The Moon generally grants a romantic and imaginative nature. April 2 people, born under the aggressive sign of Aries (ruled by Mars) come under a Moon-Mars influence that lends charm, ambition and sexual drive, particularly to men. If someone ruled by the number 2 also happens to have been a second child, he/she may have been hidden and protected, spared some of the strong emotions directed by the parents toward the first born. Those ruled by the number 2 are often good co-workers and partners, but are rarely cut out to be leaders, so April 2 people can encounter difficulties if they aspire to dominant roles.
The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated on her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering us with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference and inertia.
☆Luck maker：(Be realistic)People who are lucky don’t get everything that they want but they get most of what they want. They don’t set themselves up for failure by setting unrealistic goals, they value what they know they can achieve.
You’re drawn to people born on June 21 to July 22：You are both intuitive and creative, and this can be a loving and supportive union.
People born on April 2 are very idealistic when it comes to love and can make demanding and attention-seeking lovers but they are so warm, pure and generous that they are well worth it. As long as they don’t alienate their partner with their extreme views and learn to confront emotional difficulties in a relationship rather than run away from them, they make loyal, loving and endlessly fascinating lovers.
People born on this day need to make sure they pay attention to any warning signs their bodies are sending them, as they do have a tendency to live in their heads and in their daydreams rather than the real world, thereby ignoring their health. They may be prone to headaches, insomnia, gum disease, and dental health problems. A healthy diet rich in nutrients, perhaps with a multivitamin and minerals, is essential, as is regular exercise to help keep them physically and mentally fit. They should make sure that their bedroom is a place of peace and calm, and that the TV and other electrical appliances are removed, as this will help them have the refreshing sleep they need to function optimally. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the colors green and brown will help keep them balanced and grounded.
Those born on this day do well with moderate physical exercise. This will serve to ground them in their bodies, and offer a respite from the highly mental world they inhabit. The active imaginations of April 2 people can run them ragged; they must be very careful of their nerves. Also they must be mindful of repressed anger or it will surely lead to depression. Repeated frustrations can force them in extreme cases to live entirely in a dream world, with disastrous psychological consequences for themselves and those close to them. Physically, those born on this day must learn to heed their body's messages: pain, longstanding discomfort, back and neck problems should be regularly attended to by an expert. Regular checkups are extremely important to them, as they often try to ignore chronic problems until it is too late. Where diet is concerned, April 2 people love to eat and can put on weight unless they limit their intake of dairy products, alcohol and meat.
These people have the potential to be excellent politicians, photographers, designers, artists, musicians, actors, and movie directors, as this kind of work gives them a medium in which to project their idealism or personal vision to the world. Alternatively they may be drawn to people-related careers in the media, public relations, psychology, counseling, and social work, or to careers in which they can express their humanitarian concerns, such as social reform and charity work.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to accept their limitations and the limitations of others. Once they are able to do that without losing their sunny optimism their destiny is to inspire others and encourage them, by example, to realize their full potential.
Force yourself to be realistic. Don't live in a dream world. Idealism is admirable, but it doesn't pay the bills. Listen to others, even when they voice negativity; their criticism may he valuable if you give it thought.
