For souls born in April Mars Governs the Aggressive, Warlike and Impatient Constellation Of Aries.
All will hear my views and voice
Trial and error is my school of choice
Like a dragon, dashing and daring I appear
Fighting for those that I hold dear
I am ARIES, child of Mars
Assertive Mars controls the month of April. In Greek Mythology, this planet is called "The Lord of War," and rules the impatient sign of Aries. You were born a leader. However, because of your inborn impatience you will learn by your mistakes. Your strong and impatient desire to succeed must be controlled and hasty decisions avoided. Others perceive you as a competitive and motivated person. More than any other sign of the zodiac, souls born in April must learn steadiness, organization and most of all, diplomacy. When confronted, grace and charm does not really belong to you.
Martian souls possess strong leadership and engineering abilities and April men are attracted to dangerous sports, speed, engineering, and the military. Due to your "turbo charged" personality, you are also accident-prone to the head, and should protect it. Both males and females born in April tend to talk too much and must learn to listen to others and control impatience.
You must focus on your needs steadily and finish what you have started. Inadvertently, the "red " uncontrolled Martian personality will hurt sensitive souls, thus damaging the chances for respect and promotion. Your explosive temper is generated by an inborn fear of rejection and an inferiority complex. Do not take rejection or opposition personally. The "childlike" attitude could attract manipulative spirits wishing to structure or use the immense creativity and energy of the Mars competitive spirit.
You do love your home and you are responsible with your family. Nevertheless, you prefer to be where the action is, as you get bored easily. If you practice patience, tolerance and diplomacy, there is no limit to where Mars will take you - all the way to the highest level of accomplishment.
Your main lesson is to learn all the diplomatic and loving traits of the opposite Venus-ruled sign Libra. Once you find yourself and confidence, the option to become a leader in any chosen field will be given to you.
Souls born in the month of April must assume a diplomatic attitude when dealing with others and when dealing with corporate money. The location of your natal Dragon's Head or Tail will seriously alter the strengths or weaknesses of Mars in your chart.
Alphonse Maria Mucha was born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia (today's region of Czech Republic). His singing abilities allowed him to continue his education through high school in the Moravian capital of Brno, even though drawing had been his first love since childhood. He worked at decorative painting jobs in Moravia, mostly painting theatrical scenery, then in 1879 moved to Vienna to work for a leading Viennese theatrical design company, while informally furthering his artistic education. When a fire destroyed his employer's business in 1881 he returned to Moravia, doing freelance decorative and portrait painting. Count Karl Khuen of Mikulov hired Mucha to decorate Hrušovany Emmahof Castle with murals, and was impressed enough that he agreed to sponsor Mucha's formal training at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
Mucha moved to Paris in 1887, and continued his studies at Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi while also producing magazine and advertising illustrations. Around Christmas 1894, Mucha happened to drop into a print shop where there was a sudden and unexpected demand for a new poster to advertise a play starring Sarah Bernhardt, the most famous actress in Paris, at the Théâtre de la Renaissance. Mucha volunteered to produce a lithographed poster within two weeks, and on 1 January 1895, the advertisement for Gismonda appeared on the streets of the city. It was an overnight sensation and announced the new artistic style and its creator to the citizens of Paris. Bernhardt was so satisfied with the success of that first poster that she entered into a 6 years contract with Mucha.
Mucha produced a flurry of paintings, posters, advertisements, and book illustrations, as well as designs for jewellery, carpets, wallpaper, and theatre sets in what was initially called the Mucha Style but became known as Art Nouveau. Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed haloes behind the women's heads. In contrast with contemporary poster makers he used paler pastel colors. The 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris diffused the "Mucha style" internationally. He decorated the Bosnia and Herzegovina Pavilion and collaborated in the Austrian one. His Art Nouveau style was often imitated. However, this was a style that Mucha attempted to distance himself from throughout his life; he insisted always that, rather than adhering to any fashionable stylistic form, his paintings came purely from within and Czech art. He declared that art existed only to communicate a spiritual message, and nothing more; hence his frustration at the fame he gained through commercial art, when he wanted always to concentrate on more lofty projects that would ennoble art and his birthplace.
