Those born on April 21 are proud individuals who set themselves high standards and are mortified if circumstances prevent their being achieved. Such is their capability, efficiency and self-discipline that when faced with a task, its completion will usually be hindered only by unforeseeable obstacles beyond their control. These are dignified and self-possessed people, who typically harness their prodigious powers of perspicacity and reflection (qualities born of their sensitivity), and their organizational skills and single- minded tenacity, in their drive to succeed. Because they are both reliable and unafraid of voicing their deeply held opinions, they will often find themselves assuming leadership roles, and will be accorded respect for both their ability and their talent for motivating others. These qualities bode well for success in such interpersonal careers as teaching, although their inherent distaste of being dictated to means that they will generally be unhappy in large, rigidly structured organizations.
April 21 people are bent on achieving perfection rather than receiving financial rewards, but they appreciate money for the good things that it can buy, for these are somewhat sybaritic types who relish sen- sual stimulation and therefore have a profound affin- ity with all things artistic. People are drawn to them for their infectious, pleasure-seeking propensity, as well as their endearing desire to bring happiness to others. They typically make indulgent, yet responsible, friends, parents and partners, but may occasionally annoy others by their tendency to control or impose their personal outlook on them.
