There’s an elusive quality about people born on April 23 and they tend to be known only to their most intimate friends. This is because, although they are non-conformist, they like to make others feel comfortable and so others can form a false image of them. Being misread, however, is unlikely to bother them, as they have enough self-awareness to allow others to think of them what they will.
Although they have the confidence to be accommodating, this doesn’t mean they are always compliant. Quite the opposite; from an early age they are likely to have had a strong desire to establish their individuality and make their mark on the world. They would prefer to act as a guide to others rather than follow in someone else’s footsteps. As innovators, they are often able to sense future trends, but their visionary talents never cut them off from practical reality.
Their progressive outlook puts them ahead of their contemporaries but they do have an odd tendency to become set in their ways, favoring routine and control over spontaneity. There is also a possessive and anxious streak to their nature. They should try to overcome reservations, especially regarding close relationships, because they tend to be at their happiest and best in the security of one loving union. Until the age of twenty-seven they may cling to the safety of routine and be set in their ways; after the age of twenty-eight they are more receptive to new ideas, ways of thinking and doing things. This process continues until the end of their fifties, when there is a positive shift toward their emotional needs, especially those concerning home and family.
Compassionate and popular on the one hand, blessed with great insight, originality and tenacity on the other, they can achieve great things. Once they can free themselves from routine and allow themselves to become the inno vators that they really are, they can not only make their mark on the world but also act as a guide and source of hope to others.
☆ On the dark side：Detached, misleading, anxious
☆ At your best：Insightful, innovative, popular
Those born on April 23 seek the best haven for their considerable talents and will not rest until they have established themselves under the auspices of a recognized or powerful organization. This does not necessarily mean that they will be employed directly by that organization, though it is often the case, but that the organization will serve as a kind of "patron" for them, perhaps recommending them to others and opening doors. April 23 people can often be found marrying into a family which will take them under its wing.
Those born on this day care little for an isolated life; they need to exert their power within a larger social sphere. Financial success and security are of paramount importance to them.
Those in the arts (writers, journalists, painters) or in business (manufacturers or shopkeepers) rely on building up a following which will, year in and year out, continue to buy their books or their products. April 23 people who perform a service (doctors, lawyers, accountants) will carefully build a clientele, knowing that without it they are lost. April 23 people manage to express themselves as individuals within the family or professional sphere, but they will never want to be so outspoken as to lose the support of the group with which they are involved. In these respects they are very dependent on the good will and trust of others.
A danger exists to this much-needed security from the impulsive side of their nature which craves excitement. Those born on this day may at times act rashly, jeopardizing their position. If April 23 people are able to direct a longing for change and stimulation into their work, while keeping their personal lives in balance, they will succeed; if not, they may disrupt both their business and family life with all sorts of impulsive schemes.
April 23 people are more than happy to continue in a chosen activity for a lifetime. If they repress their individuality too much, however, they run the risk of losing the interest of others. The trick for them is to regularly innovate, to bring to the fore well-thought-out new projects which will move them forward. Should they settle for a contented stick-in-the-mud existence they will be working at cross purposes with their own highly creative nature.
An April 23 person often has a sharp, keen eye for the foibles of others, and a very deep understanding of human character and motives. Care must be taken to use this highly insightful and incisive bent constructively, especially if teaching or parenting. April 23 people must wield their considerable influence over others wisely and from time to time exercise control over their nimble minds and sharp tongues.

Those born on the 23th day of the month are ruled by the number 5 (2+3=5), and by the planet Mercury. Since Mercury represents quickness of thought and change, those born on this day must find a way to balance such energy with a strong need for security; they may have to reign in those impulses which have them driving in the fast lane, impulses which are emphasized by the influences of Mars and Venus (rulers of Aries and Taurus, respectively). Fonunately, the hard knocks that those ruled by the number 5 receive in life typically will have little lasting effect.
The 5th card of the Major Arcana is The Hierophant, an interpreter of sacred mysteries who is symbolic of human understanding and of faith. His knowledge is esoteric and he has authority over things unseen. Favorable traits conferred by this card are self-assuredness, absence of doubt and proper interpretation; unfavorable traits are moralizing, bombast and dogmatism.

You’re drawn to people born on October 24 to November 22：You share a passion for romance and communication, and this can create an exciting and rewarding relationship.
People born on April 23 are often old-fashioned and romantic when it comes to relationships; they enjoy the process of courtship and seduction, sometimes more than the relationship itself. Although popular and never short of admirers, they do have a tendency to set their sights on someone unattainable. Once in a relationship they need to be careful that they don’t become too possessive or controlling.
It’s easy for people born on this day to settle into a routine when it comes to their health and to get stuck in their ways. They need to understand that what worked in their twenties may not necessarily work in their forties, and they should constantly adapt and modify to increase their chances of good health. For example, if they have always eaten three meals a day they may find that later in life changing to five or six small meals and snacks works better for them. They also need to make sure that they don’t do the same workout year in year out, and that they experiment with cross-training. Arthritis or back problems could be a big concern, so it is important for them to eat healthily and keep flexible with regular stretching and/or yoga. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to be more spontaneous.
April 23 people must be careful to prepare for their old age. Too often they sink into fixed, repetitive habits as they get older which rob them of a youthful capacity for change, and can literally cripple them. Therefore continued mild to moderate exercise is advisable. Spending time with their grandchildren, and/or doing volunteer work with children will keep them lively and in touch with youthful energies. Those born on this day are vulnerable to arthritis of all sorts, particularly of the neck. They are also prone to hearing loss and dizziness—in extreme cases. Meniere's syndrome. Particularly with arthritis, a regular program of moderate physical exercise can stave off deterioration and stiffening of joints, and maintain a greater degree of flexibility into old age. Their tastes in food are quite sophisticated and wide-ranging, but their love of bread, butter and pastries can be fatal. This desire for earth foods should be guided in the direction of cereals, rice, bulgar and polenta.
These people thrive best in careers in which they can express their talent for innovation and interpersonal communication, such as drama, music, art, writing, choreography, movie-making, and photography. Their charm and communication skills could also be put to good use in mediation, management, business, sales, promotion, negotiation, real estate, public relations, law, and politics.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to be as spontaneous in their emotional life as they can be in their professional life. Once they are able to do that, their destiny is to make a mark on the world without incurring the envy, anger or disappointment of others.
Have more confidence in your ability to operate on your own. Beware of becoming fixed; try to be more flexible. Lei your emotions out and follow your hunches Balance your personal life. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, but be tactful and kind
