Born today, you see the world rather like a photographer might, in snapshots and quick bursts of light, color and activity that provide you not only with inspiration but also with the kind of meaning that makes all endeavors worth pursuing. This last point is most essential to you, for you crave nothing so much as to do things that matter, to involve yourself in work that is important and memorable, and to have a lasting impact.
You don’t have to be the first to do a thing, but you will always do something as if you were the first -- which means, of course, that you will never take your own experiences for granted, but learn from them all the lessons that they have to offer. This is especially true where your personal relationships are concerned.
Also born on this date are: Pharrell Williams, rapper; Juicy J, rapper; Bette Davis, actress; Colin Powell, military leader and statesman; Booker T. Washington, educator; Spencer Tracy, actor; Judith Resnik, Challenger astronaut.
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 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s not likely to work today to hide behind your humor -- at least not the way you expect. Face the music, and be ready to feel everything.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t assume that others are on the same page today. Use differences as leverage if you can when negotiating for something you dearly want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you do today is likely to be a gamble, but you’re used to such things, surely. The odds should be in your favor right now -- barely.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This is a good day for you to conceal some of what you’re feeling from those who might otherwise take advantage of it. Look out for yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Putting all your eggs in one basket can surely be exciting, but is it really the smart thing to do today? You should probably diversify, yes?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll want to follow most of the rules today, but not all. One or two are devised for situations very different from the one you’re now in.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You’re going to have trouble today doing precisely what you are told, simply because your instincts are telling you to do otherwise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You should be able to promote your own agenda today without going against anyone else -- yet. Soon you may actually have to choose sides.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn’t sell what you have to offer at a price less than market rate -- and even that might be too little for someone of your talent.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Distractions abound today -- when do they not? You should, however, be able to derive certain inspiration from some of them. Remain open!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Any assumptions you make today are likely to prove dangerous. It’s important for you to maintain a presence without restricting yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Any sort of misinterpretation of another’s intentions today must be avoided. When in doubt, take what you hear at face value.
