People born on April 7 are bold and forthright individuals with deep beliefs they will fight to the death to defend. When they commit themselves to an idea, a project or a person they burn with a passion and an intensity that can drive them to extremes of thought and behaviour.
There are often two sides to the personality of these people: the vibrant, positive side that inspires them to devote themselves passionately to progress; and a more negative, impatient side that can manifest in wild-eyed fury or rebellious behavior when their expectations are not met. There is no middle ground between these two extremes of behavior and they will often swing between them, alienating others when they feel disgruntled.
Although they are blessed with unlimited zeal, determination and optimism, possessing the ability and drive to get where they want to in life, it is important for these people—and to their benefit—to learn to adopt a more considered approach. Rebellion will almost certainly be a feature of their childhood, but between the ages of fifteen and forty-three they may have opportunities to adopt a more considered approach to life. After the age of forty-four they may find new areas of interest, as well as a greater desire for communication and learning new skills. If by this age they have learned the importance of finding the middle way, they are likely to come into their own.
Although they are forthright and courageous people, they also have the hearts of dreamers. They often see different futures unfolding, and this proves invaluable to their planning. They may also feel there is a meaning to their lives but as they search for it there may be setbacks; they may rush into what they believe is their destiny only to find that they lose interest or that it wasn’t really for them. Their positive expectations of happiness are, however, often rewarded. This means that although they may not find their meaning and purpose until later in life, when they do find it they discover that waiting was worthwhile.
☆ On the dark side:Unrealistic, negative, rebellious
☆ At your best:Deep, imaginative, vibrant
Those born on April 7 infuse everything they do with an enthusiastic and energetic commitment. However, if they are unfortunate enough to have experienced an unhappy childhood, due either to their parents or environment, they will carry a certain lifelong sadness with them. April 7 people often display great enthusiasm and creativity in their younger years, only to settle down into a more predictable or comfortable groove. On the other hand, as children those born on this day may waste much of their energy on rebelliousness.
And despite the fact that many April 7 people grow increasingly wise with the passing years (and less reckless), anger can continue to be a problem for them.
It is not uncommon for April 7 people to reach a point in their lives when they can spiritually progress no further and have to make a very big change—this can happen at their first Saturn return (at about age twenty-eight) or around the age of forty-two (when both Saturn and Uranus are opposite their natal positions). If April 7 people pass through this crossroads well, they are capable of even greater success in their new life. They may feel less impelled to throw themselves at the world, and instead allow the world to come to them.
Even if April 7 people themselves are going through a quiet period they are sensitive to the positive energy of others and respond to it. The more advanced individuals born on this day have the ability to channel and direct such positive energy toward social and religious goals. The spiritual life of April 7 people is of great importance to them and will often manifest in a religious attitude toward the world, whether they actively practice within a sect or not. In this regard, however, April 7 people must beware of turning others off with an unvarying optimism which is not always shared. It is thus vitally important that they preserve a critical and objective capacity.
Less highly evolved April 7 people will give the impression of dependability, but often prove unreliable when called upon in times of need. The reality factor of such April 7 people is low and their anger factor high, so that others who come to depend on them may be in for a nasty surprise. More highly evolved April 7 people will be as reliable as their enthusiasm promises, but may find it unmanageable to have too many people depending on them. When this happens, these April 7 people generally seek solitude, sometimes for extended periods of time.
In relationships, April 7 people often bolster feelings of self-worth in their partner, and are very supportive in general. The danger is that the partner may come to depend on this enthusiasm and be shattered if and when it is one day withdrawn.
April 7 people do well in public positions in which they can inspire others to higher achievement through their own example. They should continually work toward being realistic in their view of everyday life, and must not be carried away by illusions. They should also avoid reacting in an angry fashion if their expectations are not met by others.

Those born on the 7th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune. Because this watery planet rules visions and dreams, those ruled by the number 7 do not always carry through their ideas and tend to be unrealistic. In addition, the influence of Mars (ruler of Aries) can serve to push those born on April 7 over the edge, provoking irritation or anger in themselves and others. Those ruledby the number 7 are characteristically restless lovers of change and travel. Since they so often pay little regard to the material side of life, April 7 people must beware of risking financial embarrassment or leaving dependents and family members destitute.
The 7th card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a triumphant figure moving through the world, manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. The card may be interpreted to mean that no matter how narrow or precarious the correct path, one must continue on. The good side of this card posits success, talent and efficiency; the bad side suggests a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.
☆Luck maker:(Don’t hold grudges)Lucky people don’t have grudges or enemies. Holding a grudge may feel like you are teaching someone a lesson but what you are really doing is shutting down your positive energy and pushing luck away.
You’re drawn to people born on October 24 to November 22:You share a passion for romance and stimulating conversation, and this creates an intense and exciting union.
The energy and passion with which people born April 7 are blessed will attract many lovers, but potential partners may be scared off by their temperamental outbursts and extremes of behavior. The beginnings of their relationships tend to have a lot of heat and passion, and they need to learn that when a fire inevitably cools in a relationship it doesn’t necessarily mean it is burned out.
When it comes to health, people born on this day need to make sure they don’t take their good health and seemingly limitless energy for granted. If they don’t they could be vulnerable to stress-induced stomach ulcers, immune system disorders, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies as well as headaches, poor concentration, and poor health in general. Since they lack the patience needed for being a good patient, prevention really is the best medicine for them. As far as diet and exercise are concerned, they should avoid foods that are fatty, spicy and creamy, making sure they take plenty of moderate-intensity exercise; cycling and swimming are ideal. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color blue will help them when they need to cool down and do some logical thinking.
Those born on April 7 who come to peace with themselves generally enjoy long life and good health. The danger is that they will go overboard in their enthusiasm, overstressing their bodies and taking a good constitution for granted. Since the human body can only tolerate so much excess, those born on this day will find their lifespans considerably shortened unless they become more aware of their limitations. In this respect, a conservative re-direction of their life at a crisis point may insure greater longevity. The cultivation of patience, of simply learning to wait, is of great importance to an April 7 person; it will be directly reflected in improved health. Because of vulnerability to stress-induced stomach ulcers, April 7 people may have to occasionally go on a bland diet, avoiding fatty, spicy and acidic foods.
These people have excellent communication skills and they may use this to their advantage in careers such as law, acting, directing, interviewing, and writing. They may also be drawn toward management or executive positions in business or to working for themselves. Whatever career they choose, their ability to take charge will be highly valued, especially when they learn to stay calm in a crisis.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to be calmer and more considered in their approach to situations and people. Once they are able to control their impulses, their destiny is to make their dreams and the dreams of others a reality.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic as you are, so give people a chance to react naturally. Don't overwhelm them with your energy and expectations. Also beware of denying others their personal right to choose.
