The conjunction of their meticulous and determined approach to work with the often flamboyant personal image that April 29 people present to the world is a rare combination. These people are incisive and independent thinkers, who may be inspired by bold concepts but would rarely start to implement them without careful prior consideration. When planning a project they will typically examine every inherent aspect, anticipating potential pitfalls and then working out an appropriate course of action, with the result that although they may champion daring strategies, these will be soundly researched. And, because they understand the importance of image, they will “sell” their conceptual package to the skeptical with their enthusiasm and persuasive skills. Such talents are clearly suited to the world of business—and especially marketing, advertising and public relations—but they will also be effective in any professional area in which interpersonal relationships are important components.
Physically as well as intellectually dynamic, those born on this day are admired for their vigor, strength of will and infectious zest for life. In their personal lives, they are bent on having a good time, on enjoying to the full all that the world has to offer, and thereby they effortlessly attract friends and followers. Yet even when caught up in the excitement of a giddy social life, they never abandon their more sober and realis- tic characteristics, perhaps instinctively realizing the importance of grounding themselves in emotionally stable and supportive domestic relationships.
