“We are made of starstuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
Carl Sagan
Your Year of the First Right Feeling. This is the year your gut earns its full credential, the flash of knowing that arrives before you've assembled a single argument for it. Something you sense in April turns out to be exactly right by June, and the rightness lands with a particular satisfaction, the kind that settles into your bones. You'll follow an instinct in mid-year that looks sideways to everyone watching, and then the picture resolves and they see what you saw. The capacity to be wrong and recover fast turns out to be the other half of the gift, because being wrong cleanly is its own brand of confidence. Your read on a person proves generous and accurate in equal measure. The year rewards the first feeling you had, the one before you talked yourself out of it.
Trust the signal that arrived first.
People born on April 18 tend to start things and then, unusually, stay to finish them. The starting part is easy for them, almost involuntary. Someone says a thing would be nice and they are already three steps into it while the rest of the room is still nodding. What makes them rare is the second half, the part where the interest holds and the thing actually gets built. They are direct in a way that saves everyone time. They will tell you the plan has a hole in it, and they will tell you where, and then they will help patch it. They compete hard and are generous with the people they respect, which is most people who show up and do the work. At their best, they are the ones you want at the beginning of something difficult, and still there at the end of it.
