Born today, you are likely to be subject to all manner of good and bad luck, as if the stars have identified you as one to test on a daily basis -- and by navigating such swings of fortune you will learn to make the best of even the most challenging or difficult of situations and circumstances. You will no doubt develop fortitude and the ability to think your way through things, but it will also be native cleverness and quickness that serve you well.
Your ability to laugh in the face of adversity may see you through all manner of situations in style, but it’s not likely to hide from those who know you best how deeply you feel things, and how quickly you can descend into an emotional rut -- or simply a deep and dangerous depression. Fortunately, you also know how to rely on those people to help you when you most need help.
Also born on this date are: James Franco, actor; Kate Hudson, actress; Ashley Judd, actress; Maria Sharapova, tennis player; Hayden Christensen, actor; Tim Curry, actor; Jayne Mansfield, actress; Dudley Moore, actor, comedian and musician.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
SATURDAY, APRIL 20
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can learn a lot today by watching what others around you are doing -- but you mustn’t think that their methods are suitable for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An unexpected encounter may throw you for the proverbial loop -- but only temporarily. You’ll be thinking straight again in no time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be called upon to solve a problem that someone else has thrown all kinds of resources at. Your solution is likely to be low in cost.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know what’s going to happen tomorrow and the next day -- but only in a certain arena. You mustn’t start thinking you’re omniscient!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something that happens regularly is likely to cause you some concern today. Bring in a professional if your own best guess isn’t correct.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be led down the wrong path today by someone who isn’t aware of your real needs. It’s time to make clear what you want and expect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can do more for someone in need today than almost anyone else -- but are you available? You may have to juggle your schedule a bit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It’s a good time to try a change you’ve been considering for a while. Even if it’s not permanent, it will tell you what you want to know.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be pulled into something rather complicated today without knowing what your commitment will be. Know where to draw the line.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have prepared for today thinking all along that you’d have the help you think you need, but it’s not likely available just yet.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Before you find yourself in over your head, you’ll want to do a little homework about a proposition that came to you through unusual channels.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You needn’t feel guilty about something you had nothing to do with -- and you mustn’t let anyone tell you that you’re in any way liable.
