April 1st Zodiac

The strangest thing in being born on April 1st hides in the fact that something funny and seen as a joke becomes real. One's birth is not an April joke, and the fact that it can be construed as such gives some interesting tasks to one's ego in the field of the collective spirit and unconsciousness. They will see that the influence of their surroundings shapes their reality, and vice versa, and could discover an incredible pool of power they carry within if they take their own existence seriously.

April 1st Horoscope

An archetypal contact between a father and his son becomes obvious on the 1st of April. Authority in a person's life is there to be tested, questioned all the time, and the one to make mistakes, put too much pressure, and shape diamonds in the process. Ego is fragile and incredibly strong, both at the same time, for there is faith inside their core that they strive to find and this gives their powerful Sun all the motivation it needs to build a foundation for the desired future. Inevitable circumstances need to be accepted and embraced, responsibilities will be many and push them over all boundaries they have. In the end, their state of satisfaction depends on their gratitude for all experiences they had in their lifetime, good or bad.

Love and Emotions

When we speak of love, we have to acknowledge that a person born on the 1st of April has a story of self to uncover before finding fulfillment in any romance. Their confidence could kick in too late, when their chance to be with someone they care for is already gone. Bad timing can become their greatest challenge, as well as differences in upbringing, education, or entire views on life, optimism, and health that cannot ever intertwine in the right way.

However, they tend to focus on one goal at a time and become real conquerors when they fall in love. They will win the hearts of many if they aren't too afraid to connect, and have the ability to build a powerful sense of humor and sarcasm through irony of life. Their warm heart is often hiding behind the wall meant to protect it though, and they could choose partners that are out of their reach to play out their own untouchable glow. As they build the feeling of belonging and emotional safety, they become open for the right kind of relationship that could last a lifetime.

Purpose

Reputation plays an enormous role in lives of those born on April 1st. They feel a very deeply rooted need to prove their intelligence and abilities to the rest of the world, and wish to be recognized by all the right people in all the right moments. These individuals have something to say, something to share, and something to create with their own two hands. Their goal is to listen and understand, while relying on communication and movement, ready to express their own truth in a way that doesn't disturb the balance of the group. Their ego shouldn't be hurt by statements of other people or authority, but kept on a safe distance with personal boundaries respected in every relationship they build.

What They Excel In

A person born on the 1st of April has an interesting sense of humor. They are wonderful speakers, deep thinkers, aware and confident in leading positions. When organized well, they will be good at anything they think of doing. Still, too much responsibility often burdens them greatly and they can turn to dictators that expect greatness from everyone around them. Leading positions will either make them grand or unbearable for everyone depending on them.

April 1st Birthday Gift

The choice of a birthday gift for a person born on April 1st really has to steer clear of the traditional symbolism of this "funny" date. The atmosphere isn't in sync with the depth of the personality of those born on it, and their actual curiosity that should be supported every step of the way. If you want to make these individuals truly happy, choose something that will inspire their inner world through information, movement, and connection to others. Give them a laptop, a new phone, a pen, or something they can read, sink into, and study for days to come.

Sabian symbols for the 1st of April speak of a victorious individual or group, something that is to prove success through vision and movement. While the first symbol speaks of the position that needs to be justified and shows how the Sun and Saturn coexist in the most powerful combination (that bears the most responsibility), the second one is one step ahead of it, as an announcement of all the good things that will come. Also, geese flying in a formation may be interpreted through their migration and combined with the first image, we can presume that a person has wings to fly away and live in a distant land, but their status, responsibility and self-image stop them from making the needed change.
