Being an Aries born on April 9th, your creative mind and ambition are a key part of your being. In all aspects of life, your creativity is a key component of your charm and sense of humor. This quality has earned you many friends throughout life, but it is your ambition that is the most admirable of your qualities. When faced with a challenge or obstacle, you have ability to devote yourself fully to overcoming it. Whether or not your realize it, these qualities make you destined for success.

Your sign's paired element is fire and in fact, the Aries has the only cardinal connection with fire of all the zodiac signs. Much like a spark creating a flame, fire gives your personality self-starting and initiating qualities. It is the influence of fire that is witnessed in the passion burning deep within your being. When you are confronted with an especially difficult challenge, your flame burns with even greater strength and will. These positive qualities of fire will play a key role in your future success, as long as you avoid the impatience that all fire signs are subject to.

Your sign is under the planetary rule of Mars, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you receive a helping of the Sun's planetary power as well. Being the planet of assertiveness, it is Mars that is responsible for your courageous, vigorous and action-oriented qualities. In the same light, it is the Sun, the planet of integration, that is linked to your individuality, creativity and vitality. More so than any of the other Aries Decans, your planetary influence makes you charismatic and original. People are often drawn to your youthful and playful personality. You use this to your advantage, as you love being the center of attention. While your determination allows you to have many accomplishments, the Sun's influence makes you a bit boastful at times. In love, find a partner that shares your fun-loving ways and helps you develop your humility to find fulfillment.

Your passion will make you successful in almost any field, so it is very likely that your greatest challenge will be narrowing your selections down to one. Your drive and leadership ability are a great fit for careers in business, education, law, sales or public relations. On the other hand, you could use your passion and creativity to become a successful entrepreneur, much like Hugh Hefner, who was also born on April 9th. If you are willing to take the chance, your charisma and popularity could lead you into the entertainment world. If this is the case, look to the recent success of Kristen Stewart, another of your celebrity birthday twins, for inspiration.

The Sabian Symbol for your birthday is the magic carpet of oriental imagery. This symbol relates to the importance of creative imagination in all aspects of life. When looking at your every reality, realize that you have the vision to transcend your current situation.
