April 18 individuals may secretly regard themselves variously as the upholders of tradition, the torch- bearers of justice or the champions of the vulnerable and abused. Possessed as they are of clear-cut views regarding the governance of human society and the importance of implementing justice, the driving forces behind their actions are often the maintenance of social order and the promotion of human equality. They will therefore often find a fulfilling outlet for their concerns and ambitions in those professions in which they can effect tangible improvements— national or civic politics, for example, the military, judiciary or other public-service bodies, as well as the caring professions. When engaged in their battles for the furtherance of human civilization, April 18 people will typical marshal their prodigious talents of energy, zeal and intellectual focus and employ them with determination and tenacity.
Despite their seriousness of intent, however, most people born on this day are redeemed from becoming overly obsessive in their single-mindedness by their intuitive recognition of the need to recharge their bat- teries by means of relaxation and fun. Indeed, some April 18 people have a markedly mischievous streak, and relish playing devil’s advocate for the sheer enjoy- ment of provoking a stimulating argument. Con- cerned and magnanimous friends, partners and par- ents, they will stick loyally to those closest to them, but will inevitably suffer deep disappointment if they feel personally let down in any way, either through perceived abuses of their kindness, or by others failing to live up to their exceptionally high standards.
