People born on April 12 are often surrounded by a fascinated group of listeners. They are well liked for their ability to get others to open up to them, possessing the knack of making people laugh at their own insecurities, offering others an opportunity thereby to rise above themselves.
Stimulating, witty and fun, they are interested in everyone and everything. Their inquisitive minds are forever on the alert, looking out for the latest news or research to inform or entertain. Curiously, they find it hard to share their feelings, being more comfortable in the role of interviewer, entertainer or informer than of confidant. This elusiveness can cause tension both at home and at work; it is important for them to learn to open up about their own feelings.
These people don’t like to miss a thing and they may therefore spend a great deal of their twenties and thirties wandering from job to job or even country to country in search of a satisfying profession. While this would prove disastrous for most, for them it can work because every experience they have, even the ones that disappoint and frustrate, is regarded as a learning opportunity. Then, some time in their forties, through this process of trial and error, they find a goal or purpose which can make use of the vast store of knowledge and experience they have thus far accumulated.
Keen observers of the human condition, people born on this day prize knowledge above all else and love to share what they have learned with others. There is a danger that they can become judgmental in the process or heavily influenced by the opinions of others; it is important for them to stay curious and open-minded, and not become dogmatic. Getting to know who they are and what they, not others, think about things is central to their success. This is because when they get in touch with their own feelings, as well as those of others, they can not only entertain and inform, but inspire as well.
☆ On the dark side:Elusive, opinionated, frustrated
☆ At your best:Interested, articulate, perceptive
Those born on April 12 seem to always have their antennae out, sensing the public mood. Their social talents are impressive, not necessarily in terms of relating to individuals but rather in understanding, defining and exemplifying in their own conduct the best of their society. Unquestionably April 12 people love to be the center of attention, but for those who are highly successful or prominent the attention garnered is often tied in with benefiting people whose hopes and dreams they personify.
A big problem for April 12 people is defining themselves as individuals. Since they are often preoccupied with group or social matters, it may be difficult for them to get to know themselves at a deep level. Because of this lack of self-understanding, less highly developed April 12 people can get into a great deal of trouble, not only social but also financial and legal. More highly developed April 12 people recognize the dangers posed by such a lack of awareness and will seek to overcome this deficiency.
Whether they write, speak or simply act as the spokesperson for colleagues, friends or family, April 12 people are never happier than when they are putting forward their point of view, communicating with their fellow-human beings who, hopefully, are listening. It is indeed tragic to see an April 12 person speaking to a mostly disinterested audience. It follows that they must choose as their friends and mates individuals who are not only good listeners but also share their concerns.
Many April 12 people have what amounts to an insatiable interest in current events and for some, commenting on the state of affairs can be equally important to them. Consequently, the danger exists that they will become judgmental personalities or victims of the judgment of others. For this reason, it is very important that they pull back periodically from life's busy course and find a quiet place where they can objectively examine not only their observations but also their own inner processes.
In the private sphere those born on this day must avoid reacting rashly, particularly in anger, to the acts of loved ones. To retain their equilibrium, they should learn acceptance and objectivity; otherwise, they can drive themselves and others crazy with their inability to leave things alone. A saving grace of April 12 people, however, is a fine sense of humor. The capacity to laugh at themselves once in a while goes far in softening their harsher side.
April 12 people will never want to be far from where things are happening. Whether they live in the city or the country, they may be found in group activities of all kinds. The most highly advanced April 12 people will invariably be called upon by others to negotiate, mediate or simply discuss deals from horsetrading to plea bargaining, and to bring opponents to the table. Often they are experts in the rules of games, law or social conventions and are sought out for their advice.
Power Thought:It is safe to believe in and trust myself,Denial of what happens slows down the process ofself-discovery
Those born on the 12th day of the month are ailed by the number 3 (2+1=3), and by the expansive planet Jupiter. Those ruled by the number 3 are often ambitious, even dictatorial. Since April 12 people are generally intent on mediation and compromise, ambitious tendencies such as these can cause great conflicts for them. The jupiterian drives of the number 3 give April 12 people a highly expansive and optimistic attitude in their thoughts and endeavors, but the added influence of Mars (ruler of Aries) can indicate hot-headedness and overconfidence.
The 12th card of the Major Arcana is The Hanged Man. who dangles by his foot in a headdown position. Though he seems helpless, the Hanged Man is nevertheless spiritually powerful and deeply thoughtful. The positive attributes of this card are recognizing limitations, problem solving and human qualities; negative aspects are spiritual myopia and restrictedness.

People born on April 12 tend to be fortunate when it comes to affairs of the heart, often stumbling into the perfect situation with the minimum of effort. Once in a relationship, however, their tendency to remain elusive and hide their feelings can cause friction, so they need to learn to open up if they want their love to last.
It is extremely important for people born on this day to learn to spend time alone; not with a book or with the TV or radio on, but with just themselves, so that they can check in with their thoughts and feelings. As far as diet is concerned, they often like to make eating a social occasion in which they can entertain others, but they do need to watch that they don’t overeat as a result. Taking time to chew their food so that it can be digested properly is important. Regular exercise is essential, as is sufficient sleep—although their health is generally good, they should not take it for granted. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color purple will encourage them to look inward and think of higher things.
Generally April 12 people are blessed with a healthy constitution, as long as they do not abuse it with nicotine, alcohol or other drug addictions or simply neglect the essentials of sufficient sleep, exercise and a healthy diet. Optimism can easily lead to carelessness and carelessness to illness. The primary requirement for the good health of April 12 people is that they find a quiet and well-balanced place inside themselves where they may retreat. As far as food is concerned, April 12 people like to eat with others. Viewing a meal as a social experience, they too often forget about what is on their plate, focusing on conversation rather than the joys of eating. Generally, the meals of April 12 people should be flavorful and hearty, rather than overly restricted or health food oriented.
These people have excellent communication skills and can excel in careers in journalism, reporting, politics, research, show business, and the arts. Being progressive and original in their thought, they may also be attracted to professions such as public relations, design, science, and the healing professions as well as police work, law, business, and finance.
The life path of people born on this day is to uncover the truth about themselves. Once they are able to get in touch with who they are and what they want, their destiny is to invigorate and inspire others with their optimism, originality and wit.
Gain confidence at a deep level. Don't be too hungry for attention and appreciation, a mark of insecurity. Realize your limitations; beware of putting yourself above the law.
