The added influence of your Taurus decanate indicates that you are sensual, with strong attractions and a need for love and affection. You have a taste for beauty and luxury but may have to beware of overindulgence in all forms of pleasure. This influence also supplies a love of art, music, and drama as well as an appreciation of nature. Since you have an innate creative streak, you may wish to develop this further into some form of self-expression.

The sensitive inner you may find it important to have a safe haven of calm from the rush of the world. Your home may therefore play an important part in your responsibilities and enable you to have a foundation on which to build. Despite a desire for peace and quiet, you are likely to be constantly seeking mental gratification. The stimulus for knowledge as power is likely to drive you to explore new avenues and ideas, whether for financial rewards or to satisfy the idealistic side of your nature.
You are seldom swept off your feet by emotion, even though you feel strongly for your loved ones. When you take on responsibilities, however, you are willing to make the necessary sacrifices. In contrast, your playful side can emerge totally unexpectedly and you can surprise everyone with your spontaneity.
You are full of ideas that can make money, and you are a good planner and organizer. It is possible for you to succeed in education, sales, commerce, promotions, or advertising. If in business, you need to be given a lot of space to operate independently and may well be happier being self-employed. Even so, your abilities to plan and implement many worthwhile and financially advantageous schemes make you a valuable member of any team. You are likely to be particularly interested in the study of philosophy, psychology, or religious thought. You may be drawn to professions that use your fine mind, such as those involving selling, information, or education. Alternatively, you may be attracted to the world of entertainment or the arts.

Although at one stage in your life you may have been drawn to some very unusual relationships, your power of discrimination indicates that you rarely lose your heart. Often you may see relationships as valuable learning experiences that leave you wiser and more knowledgeable about love.

Those born on April 30 are deceptively calm individuals, their pronounced sense of humor, appreciation of the good things in life and relaxed and affectionate approach to other people often masking their highly perceptive and tenacious professionalism. Indeed, contrary to initial appearances, such is their intellectual drive that they will feel unfulfilled unless they can immerse themselves in their work, and this will often be directed toward achieving progress of a humanitarian nature—a result both of their empathy and of their ability incisively to identify faults in existing systems and then formulate strategies for improvement.
Because April 30 people wish to attain their aims as quickly and effectively as possible, and realistically recognize that they will be much more successful by winning others over to their cause rather than alien- ating them, they are very adept at using their consid- erable charm in the cultivation of open and friendly interpersonal relationships.
These multitalented individuals have the poten- tial to make their mark on whichever area of pro- fessional expertise interests them. They are valued by their coworkers for their optimistic and encouraging outlook, as well as their great reliability. Within their personal liaisons, too, they are generally at the center of their social and domestic circles, for their ability to combine the provision of solid emotional support with a light-hearted, fun-loving approach is a rare and invigorating one and furthermore makes them espe- cially gifted parents.
