Those born on April 20 hunger for success, partly because of their desire to realize their ambitions, and—since they may often be insecure—partly to feel validated by the approval of their peers. It is this quest for perfection that fuels their zeal, and these people typically observe their surroundings critically, noting shortcomings and then formulating complex strategies for bringing about improvement. When in the thrall of a vision, they will devote their energy, tenacity and organizational skills toward its achievement, allowing nothing to stand in their way. And although they are intuitive, this quality is not usually manifested in empathetic action, but rather in the manipulation of others in order to enlist support for the mission which they regard as being of paramount importance. Such focus, ambition and pragmatism augurs well for April
20 people, especially if they work as freelancers.
Their extreme clarity of vision and strength of pur- pose will inevitably incur extreme reactions, and these people will inspire either ardent support or strident opposition. Since they are convinced of the veracity of their ideas and methods and, moreover, crave the recognition of others, those born on this day will feel profoundly hurt when their opinions are subjected to criticism or derision, and have a tendency to close their ears to negative comments in order to protect their sensibilities. It is important that they recognize this propensity, as well as the inherent dangers of such an inflexible approach. By grounding themselves in the love and support of their families and diversifying their interests and priorities, they will gain a greater level of emotional equilibrium.
