Sun Sign: Aries/Mars
Decanate: Aries/Sun; Numbers: 4, 8
April 4 likes to use his hands. He's a gardener, a cook, maybe a furniture maker. Many do this as a profession, always happiest elbow deep in the workshop, kitchen or greenhouse. This day has psychic aspects for money so it's possible there will be a legacy or windfall. Clever Aries is excellent with investments on the stock market, property, or money put into London's West End shows. There may be sufficient funds to choose not to work.
So there's time to devote to a project. It may be cultivating a new single flowered, pale red rose, powerfully scented, disease free and flowering all year. Or concocting delicious dishes. Or designing a bed for children which rocks and plays them lullabies.
April 4 also likes to use those strong Mars hands to give pleasure to a partner. This is not an inhibited person, and although the tastes are never for the too outrageous - dignified Mars doesn't dress up for the event - there's a deal of interest in sensuous pleasures. Aphrodisiac dishes will abound. The sex zones on the whole body which make touch and aromatic massage so stirring, will be investigated. The spine and back are Aries' vulnerable parts, but they are also the areas which give maxi pleasure. A little rub at the base of the spine can bring up a helluva shine.
Some Aries people often feel a deep sadness. It's not individual acts of unkindness which cause it, although that too, but an understanding of the passing of time and loveliness. They feel no worries about their own mortality, but grieve terribly for others. So much so that a few are better off not reading the newspapers or watching news on television, because disaster disturbs their equilibrium. If they stick to reading, creating, sex and music they will be happier, and while not forgetting our fleeting state, will have no cause to ponder deeply on it.
Sometimes you come across as a mass of contradictions and confusion. In a romantic relationship, your mate or partner may find your behavior quite bewildering. Pulled between your need for freedom and independence and the desire for continuity and security in your life, you can appear settled and content one minute, grouchy and rebellious the next. Despite your professed belief in give and take in a love union, your expectations are high and you can be quite demanding. The person who yearns to be a permanent fix-ture in your life must match you in energy, intelligence, and drive.
A practical romantic, you have to get to know your partner really well before you feel completely comfortable together. Once you develop a sense of trust, you’re able to let yourself go and become the amorous, exciting lover you were meant to be. Generous in the bedroom, you’re into exploring your mate’s sexual preferences along with your own. Your more romantic side surfaces behind closed doors, where you are as loving and tender as you are passionate.
There are two spots about three inches below the waist, just above the buttocks, in the centre of the lower back on either side of the spine, which when pressed and stroked, trigger sexual desire and pleasant anticipatory warmth. Using the shiatsu method, press with the thumb until the pressure is quite hard. Then hold this for seven seconds. Release the pressure until your thumb is just resting on the skin's surface, wait five seconds, then repeat ten times. Or just massage gently with the finger tips, never on the spine, using drops of reputedly aphrodisiac sandalwood in a carrier oil such as almond.
Your single-minded focus on advancing your career may bring you recognition and financial success, but it doesn’t do much for your sex life. More than anything you need to take some time out to relax with your lover, in a serene atmosphere where you can forget about everything and everyone else and concentrate totally on each other.
April 4 has a tendency to flirt with drugs and other addictive substances. This individual must be extremely careful about anything he takes. Whether it's alcohol or drugs, there's a tendency to overindulge and over-experiment.
Because you expect the best from people, you have little patience with those who aren’t as sharp as you. Your standards are very high, and you refuse to compromise on principle. Yet somehow you manage to find a way around a sticky situation that satisfies all concerned. If necessary, you will put aside your personal feelings in favor of the greater good.
