The Aries/Taurus cusp, which happens to be the most powerful cusp, also falls in the month of April. Referred to as the ‘cusp of power’, people born under its influence are not the ones you would like to engage in fight with! Not only are they impulsive, but also tend to fight for themselves with a great deal of aggression. Their spirit and energy cannot be tamed at any cost and they are severely repulsive to authority. Their strength of character does not permit them to bow down and they find it difficult to accept defeat. Such people can be quarrelsome at times and need to be dealt with patience. However, they are dependable and therefore, are natural leaders who are capable of taking responsibilities. Most of them lead a happy and prosperous life, owing to their strong determination, which helps them succeed in whatever they do.
