April 17 Zodiac Sign

April 17 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Practical and visionary, with an ambitious nature, you are often positive and ready for action. As an Aries, you have the impetus to get up and go, yet in your quest for success you may at times have to overcome a tendency to be restless and change your direction. The subinfluence of Sagittarius, your decanate ruler, suggests that with foresight you can make fortunate decisions. This provides you with natural luck and protects you financially. However, in order to truly profit from this celestial benefactor, you have to put a strong emphasis on values and hard work and develop a responsible attitude. You possess the capacity to cope with challenging situations and solve problems through quick realizations. Although you can overcome obstacles with your determination and vitality, when you complete your tasks you need to stop for a well-earned rest.

Practical skills, strong intuition, and an ability to concentrate on the job at hand are just some of your many talents. The pride you take in your work can also carry the sign of the perfectionist. However, this sense of duty and self-control must not turn you into an individual who is overly concerned with economy. Your efficient and down-to-earth approach often suggests that you are outspoken and direct, but you may have to guard against a tendency to be abrupt as well as stubborn.

Your progressed Sun moves into Taurus where you are age three, commencing a thirty-year period of increased emphasis on security. A turning point occurs around the age of thirty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Gemini, stimulating you to widen your interests and place more emphasis on knowledge, communication, and study. From your early sixties, when your progressed Sun moves forward into Cancer, you will find a greater awareness of your emotional needs as well as an accent on your family and home.

Your Secret Self

 

Paradoxically, one part of your personality wants life to be stable, secure, and predictable, while another part of you seeks activity and variety to guard against boredom. Be careful of falling into a rut if your situation becomes congenial and fairly smooth-running, as your opportunities are often away from your visual routine of home and work. If this quest for excitement or new experiences is repressed, you may feel restless and impatient without quite knowing why. This can lead to escapism in order to compensate.

Because you are an active person, you may feel that experience is a better teacher than theory is. You also possess an emotional sensitivity and subtle, intuitive insight that can positively guide you. Rather than rush in different directions, listen to this inner perception, and your life might run more smoothly.
