If you read the horoscopes this weekend, you'll find out about a few famous people who share a birthday on April 20.
George Takei of Star Trek fame, was born on this day, according to Georgina Nicols of the Province. The Vancouver Sun's astrologer, Eugenia Last, notes that Joey Lawrence, Carmen Electra, Jessica Lange, and Ryan O'Neal were all born on April 20.
Gonzo journalist Brian Salmi and CBC broadcaster Lisa Christensen were also April 20 babies.
But how come astrologers rarely mention that Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889?
Maybe it's because commenting on the Nazi fuehrer's birthday wouldn't jive with the following descriptions of people born on this day:
* "You have tremendous resilience and fortitude and the strength of character to take on whatever comes your way. You are strong, passionate and persistent." (Eugenia Last)
* "You're a natural leader. You're dynamic, enthusiastic and interested in many things. In your personal life you're very private. You care about your home and your family. Obstacles simply act as a challenge to you." (Georgia Nicols)
The Globe and Mail's Sally Brompton chose the most diplomatic course. She didn't mention anyone who was born on April 20. And she said if it's your birthday today, she told you what to expect over the next 12 months.
