Personality
April 2 birthday personality
People born on April 2 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 2nd carries the number of the pair, and the talent it points to is working with and through other people. Numerologists describe those born on this day as unusually alert to atmosphere — they register a shift in tone, a hurt silence or an unspoken disagreement before most people in the room.

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.
