Creative genius
Optimistic and idealistic, yet impatient and restless, you are a dynamic Aries with a magnetic personality and an enthusiasm for life. With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler Sagittarius, you are likely to be direct and outspoken, with an ambitious nature. However, you may have to guard against a tendency to be overly enthusiastic or behave in a compulsive manner. Although you are responsible, with a noble character, and believe in fairness and justice, you may be prone to judge yourself and others on the basis of career achievements. Since you need to accomplish much in life, you often forge ahead and take on new challenges in a constant attempt to improve your lot.
The extreme sides of your personality show, on one hand, a humanitarian nature that is compassionate and caring, and on the other, an overly serious or rigid personality, especially where money is concerned. Nevertheless, with your optimistic outlook and a positive frame of mind, you can achieve great success. At times fortune will smile on you, but beware of taking too much for granted and leaving it all to chance.
A tendency to be restless and impatient often suggests that you are likely to overlook small details and be inaccurate. By learning to be thorough and methodical, you will be able to complete your tasks and overcome a tendency to become frustrated by delays and obstacles.
From the age of six, when your progressed Sun moves into Taurus, there is an increasing desire for material security as well as financial stability. In the following thirty years, you will feel the need to be practical and build something solid in terms of achievement. This influence continues until around the age of thirty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Gemini and you enter a period of new ideas, with a growing need to understand and communicate. From the age of sixty-six, when your progressed Sun enters Cancer, your sensitivity increases, with home and family playing a more important part in your life.

Although your Sun’s degree is not linked to a fixed star, some of your other planets’ degrees certainly will be. By having an astrological chart calculated, you can find the exact position of the planets on your date of birth. This will tell you which of the fixed stars listed in this book are relevant to you.
The demonstration of affection can be an important issue for you. Like everybody, you need love and approval, but previously these may have been withheld from you if you have not lived up to other people’s expectations. You may be tested as to how far you will compromise your own vitality to get the affection and approval you need and deserve. As you learn in life to value yourself and your feelings, you become more detached emotionally without cutting off your love and becoming cold. This results in your being very generous with others as you expose your vulnerability and allow things to happen spontaneously, without always trying to be in control. By letting go and taking life as it comes, you are immediately rewarded and draw toward you everything you need.
An ability to turn on the charm and be very sociable can help you succeed in all people-related careers, especially since you are good at combining business and pleasure. Your dramatic sense and need for self-expression may attract you to a profession in art, drama, music, or writing. With your natural leadership ability, you may gravitate toward positions of authority or being self-employed but may have to be careful that a restless or impatient streak does not prevent you from applying the self-discipline necessary to bring out your potential. You are also likely to need the freedom to work in your own way, and with your good business sense and natural enthusiasm, you should particularly enjoy initiating projects.
Famous people who share your birthday include actors Rod Steiger and John Gielgud, writer Erich von Daniken, actress Julie Christie, Indian musician Ali Akbar Khan, and country singer Loretta Lynn.
Impulsive and restless by nature, spontaneous and likes to discover the world through the senses. Intellectual potential, pragmatism, and determination are some of the qualities of the number 14 birthday. Although you need stability, the restlessness indicated by the number 14 urges you to forge ahead or take on new challenges in a constant attempt to improve your lot. This innate dissatisfaction may also inspire you to make a great many changes in your life, especially if you are not happy with your working conditions or financial status. With your perceptive mind, you respond quickly to problems and enjoy solving them. The sub influence of the number 4 month indicates that you are active, inquisitive, and energetic, with practical skills and a resourceful approach. Since you possess executive abilities and can operate independently, you do not like to be restricted or take orders from others. Your sensitivity and intuition often suggest that you need to balance your idealistic nature with your desire for material success.
• Positive:decisive action, hard work, luck, creativity, pragmatism, imagination, industry
• Negative:excessive caution or impulsiveness, instability, thoughtlessness, stubbornness
Relationships can prove to be a source of both delight and discontent, as you may swing from being loving, warm, and spontaneous to being cold and withdrawn. Nevertheless, your natural charm and sociability indicate that you have a large circle of friends with whom you are generous and giving. A love of beauty and art can stimulate you to express your strong feelings, thus keeping you contented and enthusiastic. This will help you sidestep the occasional inhibition of your emotions, which could cause you to become frustrated or disappointed. Avoid martyring yourself for those who do not deserve your loyalty and affection. It is also possible that you may be attracted to a partner who is of a different age group than yourself.

Their surroundings are of supreme importance to the well-being of those born on April 14, be it their professional or domestic environment or, indeed, the country in which they live. They possess a curious conjunction of apparently conflicting qualities: intellectual and physical restlessness and yet a strong emotional need to feel grounded within a societal group—usually the family. When each characteristic is taken to its extreme, they may be intrepid travelers, who delight in exploring foreign lands and cultures, or committed home-bodies, who direct their considerable energy and enthusiasm into beautifying their home and taking charge of the activities of their families and friends. And there is no doubt that they like to be in control, a predilection that may be manifested in their urge to act as independent agents, or in their tendency to impose their own regulations and methods on others. Because they are capable organizers, with a practi- cal turn of mind, they thrive in professions in which they can combine their love of creating order with their enjoyment of personal contact. Therefore tourism augurs well as a career choice, as does the retail trade, a variety of business pursuits and also the performing arts. Despite the autocratic conduct to which they are prone, they are extremely intuitive; since they are blessed with the ability to tune into others’ moods, and because they wish to receive approval, they will generally quickly realize when their behavior is annoying others and adjust it accordingly. They should remember, however, to adopt a similarly flexible approach toward their near- est and dearest—who, moreover, provide them with the security that they crave—whom they would otherwise expect to conform unquestioningly to their views.
