Generous and philanthropic, with a good judgment of values, is how others often see you. Nevertheless, a preoccupation with material concerns can be a source of worry. Learning how to budget may be one of your challenges.
Because of your strong character, you do not like to be in a subservient position, and although you have charm and a charismatic personality, you may have to guard against being too outspoken or verbally cutting.

Indecision or worry about material things could block the wonderful creativity at the very core of your being.

This enables you to be very sociable and public-spirited, and you often combine the two by doing something of use for others in a group situation. You can also be very creative and a master of your craft; but beware of holding on to situations past their usefulness. Most of the time, however, you are charitable and generous with your time and energy, often being willing to put in more than your fair share if you really believe in a person or project.
You possess energy and enthusiasm and are not afraid to advance into uncharted waters. With your pioneering spirit, courage, and leadership skills, you have a wide variety of choices in your career.

Those born on April 9 are resolutely practical, preferring action to reflection, and displaying great vigor and competence in the process. They are not given to abstract ideological visions, instead concentrating upon the immediate aims of their professional and domestic lives. In doing so, their drive, tenacity and strength of purpose come to the fore, and their capacity for organizing both their own ideas and other people’s resources is put to good use. Such methodical and determined qualities, as well as a remarkable clarity of focus, augur well for their success.
However, their tendency to see things in black-and- white terms, and their impatience with those who do not concur with their approach may ultimately hin- der their progress. Because they manifest both artis- tic and scientific talents, they are suited to careers in either field, but will probably find greatest satisfaction in those areas where tangible results can be achieved, such as in business, the military or as mechanics.
Many of those born on this day regard their home environment as being of greater importance than their careers, and they will typically run it—and their immediate family—with enormous efficiency. Indeed, such is their energy and compulsion to be active, that they frequently devote their leisure hours to home improvements and other domestic activities. While offering considerable practical support and stability to those nearest to them, they do have a propensity to dominate their loved ones, and should try to develop a more relaxed and accepting view of any differences of opinion.
