Children & Family
April 8 natives see themselves as authority figures. This may be a result of being forced to grow up early. With their own children, they are strict disciplinarians who may occasionally seem cold and unforgiving. But this is only an affectation to help enforce the lessons they believe their children must learn to succeed.

Health
April 8 people are sticklers for good health and fitness practices. They possess a natural athletic ability as well as formidable mental and spiritual endurance. They require extra calcium to ward off brittle bones and arthritic conditions that may appear later in life.

Career & Finances
April 8 individuals often choose a career where they can achieve perfection. Research, especially within the boundaries of science and medicine, appeals to their sense of order and balance. Practical in all aspects of life, they handle money well and with a certain flair, though they do not take risks with what they have worked so hard to earn.

Dreams & Goals
April 8 natives believe in their ability to accomplish whatever goals they value. Even though they face enormous challenges, they do not give up and they do not complain. The moral and spiritual sturdiness of these individuals is a positive factor.
