April birthdays

There is only one April birthday in my family, and it is mine. There are two zodiac signs covering April, (mid-March to mid-April and mid-April to mid-May) Aries and Taurus. The first covers the dates from March 21st to April 19th. Taurus covers April 20th to May 20th. It’s entertaining to look at the different traits associated with each one and consider how appropriate they are.
There are people who take horoscopes very seriously. One of my nieces spends much time charting horoscopes. I look at daily forecasts for amusement, and choose the one I find most favourable to my circumstances at any given time. I have a similar approach to weather forecasts, and frequently seek out the one that is most amenable.
People born under the Fire sign of Aries are represented by the Ram, and ruled by the planet Mars. Though Mars looks hot and red, it is actually a cold, dry world. Ariens are said to be natural leaders, enthusiastically taking charge with confidence and passion. They are honest and outspoken, but can be impatient and moody. It sounds as though they act first, perhaps on impulse, and consider their actions later, maybe with regret. Maybe those curly horns are used to favourable effect.

Those born under the Earth sign of Taurus are ruled by Venus, which is the hottest planet in the solar system. The symbol for Taurus is the Bull. Its subjects are thought to be patient and devoted, but also stubborn. They dislike sudden change, and seek comfort and stability, to satisfy their sensory needs. They are not the ‘bull in a china shop’ I thought they might be.
Do you know your horoscope sign? Do your character and temperament align with it?
My oldest son celebrates his birthday today, as did my Granny. Both of them, I think, fit the latter description.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday falls on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer. I see traits of both signs in me. Like you, I choose the horoscope that I like best!
Happy birthday to you whichever day it may fall, Janice! I'm a Leo and many of its traits seem to fit me. As a child I lived with my mother, grandfather and dog Duke. All four of us were Leos in one small house. 🙂
ReplyDeleteI was born precisely on the cusp (a few minutes after midnight) of Pisces and Aries - the end and beginning of the Zodiac. Like Granny Sue, I think I see traits of both signs in me...which makes the "extremes" in my personality a bit more understandable I guess ;-) And like you, I choose to "choose" the horoscope most favorable under the circumstances. Happy Birthday - belated, to-be, or spot-on.
ReplyDeleteI have many Aries in the family
ReplyDeleteI am cancer the crab & I most definitely retreat in to my shell quite often!!! I have a son who is a Taurus & my late Mum was an Aries. Both great signs Janice.
ReplyDeleteIn my entire family there is not one single Aries. There were two, but both have passed on. I am a Leo and some of the traits fit me and some don't. A magnet on my fridge says "Big Heart, Idealistic, Loyal, Generous", all me, but it also says "Powerful, Proud, Dramatic, Natural Leader" none of which fit me.
