April 16th Horoscope

SUN – VENUS – (Pluto) – SATURN

The combination of Sun and Venus always speaks of passionate creativity and emotions that are acted upon. This is almost like a signal from heavens that is to mark one's Soul with incredible things, but we can never guess just how much of it they will be able to use. Although there could be a lot of issues related to feelings of guilt and incompetence, usually obtained in early childhood, time teaches them to live their life to the fullest, and relax in activities that define them and make them who they are. For their health, it is imperative that they have enough time for joyful, hedonistic, and pleasurable activities that give them a chance to move, stay flexible, and surround themselves with people who love them.

The step that needs to be made after they are met with their childish joy and creativity is the step of setting free and opening their mind for the upper realm and the field of ideas. This enlightening route will lead them straight into their heart where they need to find forgiveness and innocence they might have left behind being too impatient for their own emotional needs.

Love and Emotions

This is a highly emotional time in April when one love story ends only so that another one may begin. Partnerships and romance define the authentic personality of the individual born on this date, and we will see that their love life needs to be fulfilled and rich or they might feel lost and uninspired for work, uninterested in health issues, or any area of life that seemingly has nothing to do with romance. Love drives them and every partner they choose poses for a muse of sorts. Growth comes naturally through their bonds as they learn what is needed to balance out two sides of one same coin.

They are in need of conquering, and want a partner that isn't instantly available and gives them something to fight for. Their true love stories usually contain a damsel in distress, no matter the gender or the true backstory that they might even refuse to see. Their heroic goals lead them into many relationships with substance, but only those that are tender enough have a chance to stand against the test of time.

Purpose

A person born on April 16th dances with Venus and the Sun in daily activities, desires, and strivings, but this isn't what their mission on Earth is really about. They are here to connect on a deeply emotional plane, to show compassion, love, and support to those in need. A lot more tenderness needs to come from their existence than it might seem to be logical. As soon as they find forgiveness in their heart for family members who hurt them and partners who unveiled them only to leave them bruised, they will learn that the Divine Love is all they need as true inspiration and guidance.


What They Excel In

A person born on April 16th excels in different forms of artistic expression and interpersonal problems that need to be resolved. They are the only connecting point between people that has the energy of the Sun in Aries and this makes them special and typically burdened with great responsibility and out of balance. Their gifts need to be sorted out, absorbed, and cherished, and so do their feelings and sensitivities. Once they embrace their own heart, they become wonderful healers, listeners, therapists, and counselors.

April 16th Birthday Gift

A birthday gift for a person born on April 16th can be a piece of art to dazzle them, something modern but founded in knowledge, and something to truly admire. They want their gifts big, made by "big" people, and this doesn't mean they want something that is simply expensive. It is truly important to choose the right album to touch their heart, or a picture painted by someone with a vision. A gift for their home can also be suitable, but only if it sparks the creative efforts they wish to put in it themselves, or if it has something to do with sweets, bright colors or romantic lighting.

Negative Traits for April 16th Born
