Those born on April 24 often feel torn between their careers and their families, for the urge to devote their whole-hearted attention to both is strong, and they do nothing by half measures. At work, they are driven by the desire to perform tasks as perfectly as humanly possible. Their searching intellects are supported by their methodical approach and organizational talents, as well as their sometimes obstinate refusal to quit until they have accomplished their aims.
A further facet of the natures of April 24 peo- ple is manifested by their great humanitarianism and concern with the feelings of others which, in professional scenarios, makes them cooperative and approachable colleagues. They have the potential to succeed in any field that they chose, provided that they have interpersonal contact, as well as the scope to act relatively independently. That they can be relied upon to deliver whatever is required of them is rarely in doubt, particularly if they were also born in the Chinese year of the ox.
Away from the workplace, April 24 people typically make loving and protective friends, partners and par- ents, whose somewhat controlling behavior is moti- vated by the desire to set their loved ones on stable and productive paths. Although undoubtedly sensi- ble and steady types, they have a prodigious sense of fun, which bestows upon them an endearing ability to enjoy life and thereby also bring pleasure to others, qualities for which they are valued and which inspire genuine affection in others.
