Venus softens the sign toward attachment and taste, aiming the same drives at being liked. The last ten degrees of Aries already turn toward Taurus, which is why this third often reads as the most complicated.
Personality
April 12 birthday personality
People born on April 12 are Aries, and the sign is read as initiative, appetite and the willingness to go first. Starts things other people are still discussing. Recovers from setbacks faster than almost any other sign.
The 12th reduces to 3 and is built from a 1 and a 2 — independence and cooperation. Numerologists read the combination as creative expression with a strong sense of audience: someone who can generate original ideas and then present them in a way others accept. Birthday number 12 in full →
At work
Best at launching. Loses interest in maintenance, so pairs well with a sign that finishes things.
Stone and flower
The April birthstone is diamond (colorless), and the month's flowers are the daisy and sweet pea.
