Your Aries birthday shows you to be a pioneering and progressive personality. Restless yet original, you possess a subtle power that can motivate you to achieve in your chosen field. Your ruling planet, Mars, inspires you to seek an active and exciting life. With the supporting influence of your decanate ruler, Leo, you have an imaginative and creative sense and a need to be appreciated.

The enormous potential accredited to your birthday can be realized through self-discipline. When you find your true strength, you have the willpower and determination to overcome all obstacles.

Yet behind your subtle front you can be ambitious, with a strong desire to succeed and move forward.
A strong female figure is likely to have an impact on your early years. After the age of eighteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Taurus, there is an increased need for stability and financial security. This continues until around forty-eight, when your progressed Sun enters Gemini and acts as a turning point, highlighting the growing importance of communication and the exploration of more intellectual pursuits.

Inherent in the characters of those born on April 2 is a curious mixture of prodigious organizational skills and extreme idealism that almost tends toward the otherworldly. Hence although they exhibit a propensity for taking direct and practical action—a gift of their ruling planet, Mars—the causes that fire them may seem to others to be inadvisable at best, and ludicrously fanciful at worst. Because those born on this day possess an intuitive sense of social justice and therefore feel compelled to channel their energies toward protecting the vulnerable, weak or abused, their ambitions are typically of the humanitarian variety. The problem, however, is that while their motivations are eminently laudable, they have difficulty in inspiring others with a similar sense of zeal in the pursuit of their mission. It may be that they express their convictions too forcibly and hence frighten more cautious types, or when in the thrall of all-encompassing visions appear to lose their sense of realism and thus fail to convince others of the veracity of their beliefs.
Professionally, they find greatest satisfaction in those situations in which they can promote their pro- gressive visions, but not necessarily within conven- tional structures—they are too libertarian to submit to someone else’s party line or method. When they can express themselves independently—especially as writers or artists—however, they have the potential to achieve success and acclaim, although the recognition of others will probably not come immediately. During all of life’s trials, they find enormous solace in the close emotional bonds that they typically form, and they are valued by their nearest and dearest for the loving con- cern that they display.
