People born on April 9 have fantastic stamina. They live and love like a whirlwind, possessing an insatiable appetite for all the pleasures of life. Although they love to have a good time, they can also work very hard. Blessed with prodigious energy, originality and single-mindedness, they have great potential to achieve their ambitions.
These people have a strong personality and don’t like to be in a subservient position. In their professional life, their understanding of what people need can make them accurate predictors of social trends. They have the ability to turn their ideas into reality, and by so doing they not only enrich the lives of others, they can also profit themselves.
Others are often seduced by their charm, although some find their outspokenness somewhat excessive. They have to win every argument, often somewhat bluntly, and they also don’t take kindly to criticism, regarding any such comment as a form of betrayal. Their fondness for pushing the limits by indulging in physical pleasures can alarm others, especially when their lavish lifestyle attracts those who do not have their best interests at heart.
Until the age of forty-one they may concentrate on material stability; it is important during this time that they base their life around positive rather than negative values. After the age of forty-two they may broaden their horizons, becoming more interested in furthering their own spiritual and psychological growth. It is during these years that their generosity, openness and warmth are most likely to be offset by their lack of reliability.
Although people born on this day can be erratic and extreme, their drive and strength of purpose can sweep others off their feet, carrying them along in a whirlwind of enthusiasm. There’s little time for quiet reflection along the way but there will be plenty of excitement. This is because life rarely stands still for these people; it’s an action-packed adventure with many surprises and opportunities. If they can put these opportunities to good use, they can become energetic campaigners for greater self-expression and for progress.
☆ On the dark side：Excessive, reckless, unreliable
☆ At your best：Energetic, bold, progressive
April 9 people are certainly one of a kind. They are often the extreme embodiment of unusual trends in society, their talents conveyed in excess. Any compromise, restriction or tempering of their abilities is out of the question. Usually they leave no doubt as to their views on any subject—they are outspoken, direct, sometimes even harsh. But talking about what they do is not really their speciality; they just prefer doing it, which usually means doing it a lot.
April 9 people have a particular genius for translating ideas into action, giving rein to their fantasies in the most practical ways. They can even make a good living doing so.
Fortunately, their ideas are usually of a social nature and thus enrich the lives of others. April 9 people have strange thought processes, often quite humorous, but are not idle dreamers.
On the contrary, they have a strong realistic streak and the uncanny ability to know when an idea's time has come.
Not overly social people, those born on this day may find their ideas the principal link between themselves and their associates, family and friends. More often than not, the world of the April 9 person is a highly individualized and somewhat lonely one. There is a great desire to share personal discoveries with intimates, but this is not always possible. The greatest gift an April 9 person can give is to reveal him/herself at a deep level to another: too often, however, this gift is never given.
The strong influence April 9 people have on others is not always for the best. Their families or followers should beware of adopting their more strongly biased and excessive ideas literally.
To do this could have shattering results. Above all, those born on this day set an example for freedom of action, for discipline in work, for a kind of uncompromising behavior that most people cannot emulate. When the aim of April 9 people is to radically change the thought of others by way of example, they usually succeed. But because April 9 people usually have a strong amoral streak, those around them may even see them as unprincipled or selfish. Those born on this day would do well to periodically evaluate and study their own ideas, critically assess their own lifestyle and change it for the better, if possible.
The physical orientation of this day is marked. The tangible concerns and bodily limitations of the human condition interest April 9 people greatly, and they constantly strive to transcend these limitations. Often this striving begins with earthly matters and proceeds toward the spiritual. The danger is that less highly evolved April 9 people will get stuck in the physical plane and proceed no further. They should generally seek to expand their horizons and to view all of life from a more philosophical point of view.
Power Thought：I understand the principle of less is more and will incorporate it in my life，There is always someone "better"
Those born on the 9th day of the month are ailed by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. Since Mars is also the ruler of Aries, April 9 people feel a doubly strong Mars influence. Extreme forms of aggression may manifest along with impulsiveness and anger. The success of those born on this day will be measured by their ability to control these impulses and harness this excess martian energy in a constructive, non-indulgent fashion. The number 9 is a master number, powerful in its effects on other numbers (any number added to nine yields that number: e.g., 5+9=14, 4+1=5; any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: (9x5=45, 4+5=9). This underlines the influential nature of April 9 people.
The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who walks carrying a lantern and a stick; he represents meditation, isolation and silence. The card signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. The Hermit is a taskmaster who uses conscience to keep others on their path. The positive side of this card is stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity and concentration; negative meanings include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement. This card may serve as a reminder of the importance of self-control to an April 9 person.
☆Luck maker：(Balance yourself)Balance is crucial for attracting luck into your life. If you aren’t feeling at your best, ask yourself if you have taken care of your body, your mind, your heart, and your soul today.
You’re drawn to people born on March 21 to April 20：You share a passion for adventure and innovation, and this can create an intense and fulfilling bond.
When it comes to relationships, people born on April 9 are hungry for all sorts of romantic adventures and they are likely to enjoy experimenting in this area. They have fantastic energy and can be a lot of fun in a relationship, although their lack of dependability can be a problem. They are attracted to quietly confident people who can stimulate their natural creativity.
People born on this day are their own worst enemies as far as their health is concerned, as they are prone to indulge in rich food, drink, partying, and excess in general. They need to learn that moderation in all things is central to health and well-being. As far as diet is concerned, they should avoid fasting for long periods followed by bingeing as this will trigger blood-sugar and weight problems. Exercise should be moderate to mild, rather than vigorous, and activities such as brisk walking or light jogging can give them time to gather their thoughts and be alone. They should also make sure they schedule regular periods of relaxation into their lives, such as aromatherapy baths, massage, chatting with friends and so on. Carrying a malachite crystal or having a malachite ornament around their house will help balance their emotions, bringing with it a sense of calmness and ease.
April 9 people must be very careful of literally destroying themselves and others with their energy. Self-inflicted injuries of all kinds are a danger. Mars influences are so strong in April 9 persons that they may also attract antagonism, even violence, from others who do not like their outspoken views and direct forms of expression. In many people, strenuous exercise is to be encouraged, but in April 9 people the physical aspects of life need to be tempered. As far as eating is concerned, there is a tendency for April 9 people to swing from fasting to overindulgence. For this reason they do far better when they allow themselves a well-rounded diet (i.e., balanced nutrition, reasonable fat).
These people have the pioneering spirit, leadership skills and courage to excel in a wide range of careers but they are often attracted to careers in business, the military, engineering, and politics, or to leadership in labor union organizations. They may also be drawn toward careers in management or social reform as well as philosophy, art, music, retail, and antiques.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to relax, as their overindulgence can alienate others and lead to health problems. Once they have learned to temper their impulses, their destiny is to organize their ideas and the ideas of others, and put them to good use.
You must learn to compromise. Beware of selfishness; giving and receiving love is important for everyone. Don't get stuck in the physical; always reach for the stars Temper your wildest urges and learn the lessons of balance.
