The Day Of The Labyrinth
MARCH TWENTIETH
Strengths: Logical. Sensitive. Versatile.
Weaknesses: Unrealistic. Unsure.
Tarot Card: The Judgement
Personality
March 20 is a highly symbolic day, when considered as the last day of winter and the end of the astrological year. People born on this day possess certain unusual gifts as well as special problems. For example, they are in many ways the most highly evolved creatures of the year, when the zodiac is considered as a map of the evolution of the human being. On the other hand, they may find it difficult to start certain important endeavors and to leave the past behind. It can take them a very long time to make crucial decisions, particularly those involving big changes in their lives.
The expansive qualities and sometimes unfounded optimism of March 20 people can land them in hot water. While their dreaminess lends them magnetic charm, it also makes them prone to unreality in their outlook. However, if those born on this day manage to find their true calling and life partner they will be protected from much that can go wrong.
March 20 talents are generally both numerous and diverse. Therefore those born on this day may flounder for a while, fishing around for the right path to take. They can also be overly influenced by those in higher positions and somewhat inclined toward hero worship, often at the expense of their own ego. Their romanticism, a product of a vivid imagination, can perhaps lead them astray in this respect. By overvaluing the one they worship they tend to unconsciously undervalue themselves. This can lead to a lack of self-confidence of which they themselves may be unaware.
March 20 people must also beware of falling into depressions, which no amount of admiration (either for others or from others) will help. On the other hand, solid friends and loved ones who can keep them on track are of great importance. Ultimately, working toward greater self-assertiveness is the key to March 20 people avoiding these states.
Those born on this day are often drawn to psychic phenomena. They may have great talents in this area, but should be extremely careful not to let themselves go overboard. Such excesses could lead to an abandonment of reality which would be devastating not only to themselves but also to loved ones. If they can put these talents to use in moderation, they will achieve success in life.
Sensitivity to music and art are pronounced in March 20 people who may be particularly drawn to vocal expression. Singing, for example, can make an excellent hobby or even profession for those with musical talent. Attention to the feelings of others makes those born on this day fine interpreters of their fellow human beings’ work but also good counselors to whom people come to seek advice. In this they should remain objective if possible, for their opinion carries weight and tends to impact heavily on clients, co-workers or friends.

The Day Of Dogged Persistence
MARCH NINTEENTH
Strengths: Persuasive. Tireless. Thorough.
Weaknesses: Unaware. Stubborn. Closed.
Tarot Card: The Sun
Personality
Those born on March 19 have the dogged persistence needed to achieve their ends and know how to use their charm and allure to help them. These highly directed people are both dreamers and doers. They are able to translate their imaginative ideas into reality. Though assertive, March 19 people may not be the most self-aware individuals, and indeed a strong unreality factor may be at work here.
March 19 people are outwardly directed and intent on winning others over to their viewpoints. But what those born on this day may be attempting at times is to change external reality to conform to their inner picture of it. This may sound like a dubious proposition, but through their tenacity, those born on March 19 are surprisingly successful.
March 19 people possess very pure and childlike qualities. But though they are expansive types who sometimes give the impression that they are in another world, they are in fact forceful and businesslike. Thus they are a bit paradoxical in nature, and can appear to others as being alternately dreamy and fiery.
Some March 19 people are explorers who break new ground and go where no one has dared to go before, but more often they are pragmatic individuals who proceed methodically. Whatever the nature of their undertakings, March 19 people usually move in a straight-line fashion, convinced that their principles are just—as a matter of fact they may even see themselves as reformers, putting everything right after years of neglect by others. Due to a lack of objectivity, however, they can well be headed off track or in the wrong direction.
It is indeed important that March 19 people chart their course with care, because once they are convinced they are on target they will want to follow through to the end. They are also extremely diligent and capable of operating on a personal level with little need for fanfare, reward or acclaim. They will doggedly pursue their goals, even though it may mean endless repetition of tasks. They never seem to tire of their own activities, perhaps at times even going at things too slowly. This thoroughness is one of their most basic attributes and usually guarantees a successful outcome to their ventures.
As hardnosed and hardworking as March 19 people can be, they must learn to be more realistic about who they are. Acquiring self-knowledge and an awareness of limitations is extremely important. Part of their development will inevitably include learning not to overreach. They must make an effort to keep their egoism and egotistical impulses under control. By adopting a modest attitude, they may prove to be still more successful in their efforts.
Meditation
All life is sacred
The Day Of Return
MARCH EIGHTEENTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Powerful. Diplomatic.
Weaknesses: Glib. Self-Compromising. Obsessive.
Tarot Card: The Moon
Personality
The theme of return figures prominently in the lives of those born on March 18, taking many forms but basically having to do with bringing a process full circle or completing a task after reaching a higher level of personal development. The most successful of March 18 people are those able to realize such a cyclical evolution. Less highly evolved individuals born on this day tend to repeat themselves endlessly and get stuck in patterns that do not allow them to advance and to grow. Powerful March 18 people draw others to them, display marked leadership ability and intuition, and aggressively pursue their dreams and ideals. Although they often seem to depart from their principal activity and suffer an unusual number of setbacks, they rarely if ever give up, and eventually return to implement their plans with renewed vigor. Completing, resuming, renewing—such are the keywords for these persistent individuals, who usually have a well-defined vision of their personal destiny.
March 18 people have their own sense of time, where they are more in tune with kairos (the proper time to do something) than chronos (clock time). They can demonstrate great patience when waiting for an opportunity to arise. Less highly evolved people born on this day run the risk of sinking into a torpor in which they are ultimately incapable of moving forward and patience becomes an excuse for inaction. Thus a proper balance between action and non-action is essential for those born on this day.
March 18 people generally focus on the big picture but sometimes get sloppy about details, which may in fact surface later to plague them. In addition, those born on this day must beware of dealing too much in generalities. When specific demands are made on them either by society, business or family, they must learn to act without delay. For some March 18 people, problems can arise with their children who, experiencing youthful impatience, despair of a March 18 parent ever taking action at all, and thereby become frustrated, emotionally upset or rebellious.
March 18 people can function well as brokers, emissaries or agents, where they become the meeting point of two worlds. As mediators, diplomats and arbitrators they are able not only to see the validity of differing points of view, but also to suggest ways in which two warring sides can be brought closer together. They must beware, however, of compromising or losing touch with their own beliefs in the process. Cultivating emotional honesty is an important challenge for these deft individuals. Also they must not let their compulsion to complete their endeavors ride roughshod over the feelings of others.
Meditation
Completion often signals a new beginning
The Day Of The Aerialist
MARCH SEVENTEENTH
Strengths: Adaptable. Expressive. Enthusiastic.
Weaknesses: Self-Effacing. Ineffectual. Disconnected.
Tarot Card: The Star
Personality
Those born on March 17 live exciting lives taken up with the recurring themes of flying, floating, music, dance, movement and travel of all sorts. They are quite capable of losing themselves in an activity, cause or experience, relinquishing many demands of their ego in the process. Highly evolved individuals born on this day are able to engage in such activities while at the same time expressing a strong sense of self. Less highly evolved individuals tend to be overly self-effacing or passive, unable to direct their lives effectively.
March 17 people are never happier than when they are involved in a cause, particularly one which allows them to express their social side. Without such social involvement, March 17 people have a tendency to become isolated; if they spend too much time alone, they can wrap themselves in a kind of personal cocoon completely insulated from the cares and concerns of the world. At some point, such March 17 people must emerge from their social or personal chrysalis as fully developed butterflies, unafraid to display their uniqueness and beauty.
This metaphor of the butterfly may be useful here to illustrate several other relevant points. March 17 people must learn to pursue activities with concentrated application, rather than flitting about from one flower to the next. In addition, they may have to toughen their stance in order to guarantee that their projects as well as their identity and reputation last well beyond one short season.
March 17 people tend to value all which is fresh and new in the world. Many born on this day tire quickly of old conventions and outdated ideas, wishing to implement new methods with youthful innocence and vigor. Unfortunately, they can run afoul of fate and also of more highly seasoned realists, who though cynical or jaded may have a much firmer grip on the reins of power. The most highly evolved individuals born on this day manage to retain their optimism and energy while at the same time becoming more realistic and effective in implementing their plans.
Often in their desire to avoid being categorized or pinned down to responsibility, March 17 people become adept at eluding those who wish to ground them. Avoidance can quickly become a device they use to defend those positions they maintain that do not stand up under close scrutiny. If they wish to be successful, March 17 people must learn to be more thorough and considered, and indulge less in the mutable, less serious aspects of their nature.
For a period of time, their associates, family and friends can be enchanted by their gyrations, but will finally demand that those born on this day come to earth and shoulder their share of mundane concerns, with all of the attendant difficulties and annoyances. Through such grounded activities, March 17 people can effectively contribute to the life around them, bringing their freshness and creativity to bear.

Flowers and butterflies are delicate, but also surprisingly strong
The Day Of Realistic Inspiration
MARCH SIXTEENTH
Strengths: Imaginative. Practical. Active.
Weaknesses: Fanciful. Jaded. Neglectful.
Tarot Card: The Tower
Personality
March 16 people are able to combine the imaginative and the practical, the inspirational and the down-to-earth into an appealing and realistic attitude. Indeed, those born on this day have a talent for balancing the the contrasting sides of their character. Sometimes they are swayed by their fanciful side but generally stay within the bounds of good sense.
March 16 people do best when they follow the middle path. Their ability to compromise is in general a positive thing, and through being able to appreciate another person’s point of view and to adapt to it they stand a good chance of succeeding in the world. However, they must be careful not to betray their own personal set of values in the process, or to sell out what they believe in most. Less highly evolved individuals born on this day are quite capable of doing the latter, particularly for gain, and will suffer enormously for it in terms of guilt and regret later on in life.
Many March 16 people carry the confidence of those favored in life. This derives not only from their own self-assurance and self-acceptance, but also from the blessing of an indefinable fortune which they periodically meet along the way. This is further enhanced by their capacity to cull the best from most situations. However, they often run the risk of overlooking danger, paying inadequate concern to negative energy and ignoring resentment in others, all of which are quite capable of surfacing swiftly and blowing up in their face. They must learn how to read the telltale signs of impending difficulty or disaster, and to deal with them swiftly as well as resolutely before they get out of hand.
A kind of golden quality or wholeness imbues much of what March 16 people do. But though they value completeness and finality, their mutable side often leads them to quit projects before they come to fruition. Blaming themselves or being blamed by authority figures for such actions is in general counterproductive and consequently those born on this day must learn to accept the changeable aspects of their nature. At the same time they have to recognize that sustained, consistent efforts along one line of endeavor generally have a better probability of succeeding.
March 16 people should strive to find an occupation in which they can express both the inspirational and pragmatic aspects of their nature. Learning to handle money and to be shrewd in financial matters may be difficult and tiresome for some born on this day but is vitally important to their well-being. Setting up a place of residence, raising a family, keeping social obligations and in general taking on responsibilities is perhaps the most challenging and rewarding part of life for them. Only when such practical matters are under control are March 16 people able to fully enjoy the sense of freedom they need to express their creative impulses.
Meditation
Success can often be measured more truthfully by internal rather than external criteria
The Day Of Heights
MARCH FIFTEENTH
Strengths: Ambitious. Charismatic. Enthusiastic.
Weaknesses: Envious. Over-competitive. Impulsive.
Tarot Card: The Devil
Personality
Many born on March 15 are taken up with rising to a high position in their element, be it within a company, social group or profession. In addition, they display natural leadership ability and magnetic qualities which make it likely that others will follow them. Not always content to advance within an existing structure, some March 15 people find it necessary to initiate new endeavors in which they play a central role from the very start. Therefore, once they have made a commitment, establishing a family or business comes quite naturally to them.
Curiously enough, climbing to the heights can be a literal theme in the lives of March 15 people. Many born on this day are attracted to physical activities involving elevation, whether it be hang gliding, diving, rock climbing or scaling a mountain to enjoy the scenery. Less confident individuals born on this day may show an actual fear of heights, which they can probably overcome through courage and a willingness to understand its psychological basis . In some cases this may be related to an unconscious pact not to surpass a parent (usually of the same sex), an inhibition that can limit their endeavors. Thus individuals born on this day who avoid high places may be less afraid of failure than of success.
Generally speaking, from an early age, March 15 people are concerned with getting ahead and making for the top. If they are able to express this desire in a socially appropriate fashion and move slowly but steadily toward their goal, they will have a better chance of meeting with success. If, however, their actions are precipitous, or are built around envy, insecurity or strident competition, they can experience great resistance from those around them.
The warning lights should be flashing and the alarm bells of caution should be clanging whenever those born on this day feel the stirrings of ambition without having a well-defined goal in mind. This is not to indicate that their enthusiasm is a negative quality by any means—just that for March 15 people in particular, endeavors should be carefully considered. Certain fatal aspects attach to this day which can inexplicably change the course of events in a highly unexpected way. The only way for those born on this day to prepare for such situations is to build their skills, self-confidence, flexibility and acceptance to the point where they are ready for almost anything.
An important decision for March 15 people is whether or not to work with others in a career situation. The choice between self-employment and company employment, for example, can be a crucial one. Furthermore, in their personal lives, March 15 people often face similarly difficult decisions in regard to bonding with a life partner, having children or investing in a financially costly, permanent home base. Not infrequently, March 15 people put off such commitments or even ultimately choose to live on their own, giving up certain personal rewards and opportunities in favor of a freer lifestyle.
Meditation
The perfect marriage of pleasure and pain can be found in the realm of love
The Day Of Relativity
MARCH FOURTEENTH
Strengths: Accepting. Flexible. Affectionate.
Weaknesses: Indecisive. Complacent. Noncommittal.
Tarot Card: Temperance
Personality
Those born on March 14 tend to understand themselves in relation to others. Their position in a family or social group is tremendously important to them, since it defines their role and gives structure to their daily activities. The theme of relativity, however, goes much further in their lives. Ideologically, they tend to be open to many approaches and thus find it difficult to be sympathetic to absolute points of view. For March 14 people, changing their mind is a specialty, and even those born on this day who have adhered to a fixed set of principles for a lifetime will be open to examining and modifying them if the right set of circumstances arises.
More highly evolved March 14 people are able to consider many different planes of existence simultaneously, whether emotional, physical or spiritual. They are also interested in the relationship between the personal world (concerns of here and now) and the universal world (unchanging, eternal principles). Most March 14 people do believe in some absolute principles, whether they be of God, science or humankind, but they can struggle a whole lifetime trying to define where they themselves stand. They recognize that even the simplest fact can be viewed from many sides (everything depends on how you look at it), and thus can experience great frustration trying to reconcile their varying points of view.
Because they like to remain independent, and are usually not the first to rush to join a cause or ally themselves with a group, March 14 people must be careful that others don’t take them for aloof or superior types. Though they have a fine sense of humor and are not afraid to express their opinions forcefully, they are somewhat wary where offering deeper friendship is concerned.
In their personal lives March 14 people tend to be open, accepting and tolerant, since they know that anyone may be right in a given situation, and that all outlooks should be considered. They do, however, have a tendency to idolize objects of affection who they are unable or unlikely to attain. Less highly evolved March 14 people often get themselves into trouble by playing favorites with their family, and are in general prone to indulging in relative evaluations where one person suffers by comparison to another.
The most successful of those born on March 14 evolve to the point where they can appreciate the merits of a given person or thing with less need for comparison. They recognize both the sameness and difference of all living things, i.e., a person is a person like all other people on the one hand, but is a unique individual with distinct thoughts and feelings on the other.
Meditation
We are at once the same—and worlds apart
The Day Of Fateful Prediction
MARCH THIRTEENTH
Strengths: Accepting. Courageous. Evolving.
Weaknesses: Overreaching. Self-Important.
Tarot Card: Death
Personality
Those born on March 13 lead fateful lives, which in retrospect could be said to have turned around a few chance happenings. Most individuals born on this day strongly believe in predetermined occurrences, moreover, and are prone to making predictions about the world and the lives of others. There is something of the oracular about much of what March 13 people say. They often utter their analyses of the world and its problems with a kind of knowing finality. The more intellectual of March 13 people are attracted to philosophy, spiritual teachings, theoretical speculations and scientific or analytical systems; they tend to worship the human mind and what it is capable of producing, yet reserve an even higher awe for the Universe of which it is only a small part.
Those born on this day are capable of surviving what would be overwhelming catastrophes for most people, be they physical, economic or psychological disasters (particularly true for men born on this day). Because of their fatalism, March 13 people of both sexes are able to accept the blows of fate without complaint and go on to lead highly creative and productive lives. In many cases, before these events occur March 13 people are not fully aware of their talents or fortitude. Thus such trying circumstances can serve as a sort of baptism, or rite of passage, which not only furthers their growth but also instills pride and grit that can be called upon in future difficulties. They may even come to better understand themselves and their life path.
Personal evolution and growth is something that is built into the basic fabric of the March 13 personality, so that almost all people born on this day progress in an evolutionary fashion without much choice in the matter. However, many get sidetracked along the way due to an attraction to the esoteric and metaphysical energies which they can’t fully handle. Such individuals tread on dangerous ground when they pretend to master or even to understand matters beyond them at the present moment, but even this serves as an important part of their development, no matter how great their failures. One of their wishes is to be an inspiration to others, and to find those who can benefit from what they have to say.
In general, March 13 people should resist making predictive statements or even thinking certain thoughts about individuals close to them, since they thereby may unknowingly influence the course of future events. So-called self-fulfilling prophecies can be, in their case, nothing more than a strong set of expectations. However, not only dreams but also nightmares have a way of coming true if dwelled on too much.
Meditation
The present periodically splits into various paths, each a potentially fruitful avenue of exploration
The Day Of The Great Leap
MARCH TWELFTH
Strengths: Daring. Intense. Visionary.
Weaknesses: Reckless. Unstable. Foolhardy.
Tarot Card: The Hanged Man
Personality
The courageous, determined individuals born on this day are tough enough to withstand the setbacks and disappointments of life and later make use of their seasoned experience. Struggle is no stranger to March 12 people, who seem to thrive on overcoming obstacles of all kinds. They are somehow able to take whatever natural abilities they have been given and drive them to the limit. Not infrequently they have a strong vision or concept of what kind of person they wish to be.
However, it is important that March 12 people keep themselves directed, for they tend to be multi-talented, and as such are vulnerable to scattering their energies. Those born on this day who find themselves carried away, first to this interest and then that, would do well to at least limit themselves to related fields within one industry or profession.
Most March 12 people are undaunted by risky ventures, and even leap into situations which most people avoid at all costs. Perhaps they believe that the greatest rewards are granted to those who have the faith to lay everything on the line. However, there is also no denying that danger in and of itself attracts them, as does controversy. They secretly enjoy being the subject of conversation, though they may deny it. Often March 12 people give the impression of wanting nothing better than to be left alone in their secretive, private world—that is, until they suddenly reveal themselves and what they are doing, and even flaunt it!
March 12 people usually believe in what lies beyond the here and now—in other worlds, other planes of existence, other realities. Yet the image they present is quite hard-headed and down-to-earth. They have a way of combining the physical and the metaphysical, reveling in the former but being intelligent enough to ultimately put it in service of the latter. Somewhere in the back of their minds they know that all of life is transitory. Whether they are religious or have strong spiritual leanings or not, they recognize that there are timeless principles and forms which stand behind this passing show. Hence, the more intellectual of March 12 people demonstrate a remarkable capacity to think on an abstract level.
Certain enthusiastic March 12 people must be careful of getting carried away by their faith in unearthly happenings. Until they have developed a deep understanding of metaphysical and esoteric principles, they will tend to undermine their emotional stability if they overindulge in such thoughts. A simultaneous development of worldly and spiritual goals usually suits them better, enhancing their daily life and promoting the stability needed for metaphysical ruminations. Balance is the key to reducing the dangers associated with such leaps of thought and action.
Meditation
Caution should not be mistaken for cowardice
The Day Of Progressive Intuition
MARCH ELEVENTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Tasteful. Charming.
Weaknesses: Possessive. Claiming. Domineering.
Tarot Card: Justice
Personality
Those born on March 11 keep abreast of the times. Whether liberal or conservative in outlook, they are progressive in thought. That is, they know that to be out of touch with or unaware of what is going on socially around them is perhaps to say goodbye to one’s career. They see the world as a highly competitive place where only the quick and clever survive. In their private lives, however, they allow themselves to express the dreamier, more relaxed side of their nature, chewing over ideas and speculation through conversation with friends or family and perhaps developing imaginative projects. In both areas of their life, however, the unifying talent which they employ is their intuition, which for the most part serves them well.
March 11 people believe that if they stand still in the world they are going backwards, since others will simply leave them behind. They are nonetheless moderately, rather than fiercely ambitious, moving ahead with assurance and clarity of vision. Should they work a regular job, they will put themselves in a position in which they can be promoted, but may not actively push or politic for it. Their idea is that by making valuable contributions they will be noticed and advanced at the right time. Whether this is a correct assumption or not may depend on the fairness of their work environment and the culture in which they live.
If they are self-employed or own their own business, they have a decided talent for seeing a hidden opportunity and going for it. Once they have assessed such an opportunity they will not hesitate to put a sizeable part of their material resources in the service of their intuitions. Thus they make good investors and gamblers, since they are courageous enough to take educated risks but wise enough to avoid foolish endeavors.
Another trait which serves them well is their taste. They not only have an instinctive feeling for what is good and worthwhile, but also are quick to learn about what makes objects or ideas valuable. Some March 11 people can even select items which appear phony or cheap but later prove to have great worth.
March 11 people have a claiming and controlling aspect to their personality. They don’t part with what they have very easily, and that goes for people as well as for things. As family members they invariably find themselves in the center of what is going on, where they can exercise powerful decisions affecting the lives of both their parents and children. They must avoid arousing antagonism and rebelliousness in the latter who may wish to have a greater degree of freedom or independence.
In many areas, March 11 people could learn to let go a bit more, to relax their control over their environment. More highly evolved individuals born on this day will learn to trust the Universe and to realize that in essence nothing is really lost, thus freeing themselves by renouncing a claiming attitude. Ultimately their intuition will lead them to value their own freedom more than either possessions or personal control.

Imagine having to carry everything you own
