Those born on this day are very aware of their roots, of their place within their family and community, perhaps instinctively recognizing that they need to feel grounded within their home environment before taking flight from this solidly stable base. For while they cherish the familial bonds that surround them with the supportive and affectionate framework that is so important to their emotional well-being, April
16 individuals are adventurous thinkers, who feel compelled to seek out knowledge and truths and then, having assimilated as much information as they can, build upon their interests and move forward.
There are thus two sides to the natures of April 16 people: the side that desires a quietly happy domestic life, causing them generously to nurture the needs of their friends and family members, and the side that adopts a determinedly individualistic approach to the wider world and fiercely fights for those issues that motivate them. They are usually cheerful, balanced and popular.
Many subject matters interest those born on April 16, but underlying all is a concern with humanitarian issues and making progress. Because they are blessed with great powers of logic, organizational skills and unwavering steadfastness, whatever profession they choose to follow—be it within the scientific or tech- nical fields, jurisprudence or academia, or the various pursuits that the artistic sphere encompasses—they will bring a solid backing to their imaginative visions. They also have great leadership potential, for not only do others admire them for their inspirational strength of purpose, but their fine sense of humor and gentle demeanor attract others to them.
