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.

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 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.

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.

The Day Of The Soul Searchers
MARCH TENTH
Strengths: Sensitive. Empathic. Soulful.
Weaknesses: Long-suffering. Withdrawn.
Tarot Card: The Wheel Of Fortune
Personality
Those born on March 10 are deep, emotional individuals. Their drive for success is often rather low-key and they may be more concerned with understanding themselves and coming to grips with their complex personalities than they are with fortune, power or fame. This does not mean to say that March 10 people are overly self-involved or somehow self-indulgent. On the contrary, they love to have fun, particularly in an intimate social setting with close friends, and are most happy when they occupy a central position in their families, surrounded by nurturing and protective influences.
The sensitivity of March 10 people is pronounced. They are easily hurt, feel rejection keenly and want little more than to live in peace with their fellow human beings. However, those born on this day who have experienced traumatic childhood episodes, deep psychological wounds inflicted by a hurtful parent or overly rigid moral systems placed on them early in life, can retreat from the world into a private, inaccessible emotional space and stay there.
Because March 10 people are so sensitive, they experience the highs and lows of life as few others do, and therefore are more likely to turn inward and search their souls, to try to understand themselves. Through this inner development they cultivate empathy to the pain and suffering of the misfortunate, and for this reason, many born on this day opt for a service-oriented career. The more highly evolved of March 10 people show great sympathy and kindness for others, even to the point of being self-effacing and saintlike. As parents March 10 people tend to be nurturing and understanding, but must beware of a tendency to be overprotective and subtly manipulative.
Generally, March 10 people put personal considerations before anything else. Also since they are so highly developed in the emotional realm, they may not develop their willpower and mental toughness as fully as they might. Consequently they can drift or stagnate, not having the strong desire or ability to better their circumstances. For the less talented or gifted of March 10 people, qualities of acceptance and passivity may not be so desirable.
In putting emphasis on internal rather than external values, March 10 people are oriented toward an idealistic, non-materialistic value system. Yet they nonetheless display a great need for security and a marked desire for simple comforts, which becomes more evident with advancing age. The danger here is that they will stagnate and fail to carry their personal development any further. It is true that their exploration of inner emotional worlds (theirs and others’), deepens their sensitivity and makes them more soulful, but they must not use this activity as an escape from expressing themselves outwardly or making crucial decisions.

The Day Of The Space Voyager
MARCH NINTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Visionary. Conceptual.
Weaknesses: Self-Sacrificing. Detached. Overstressed.
Tarot Card: The Hermit
Personality
Those highly conceptual, visionary individuals born on March 9 are concerned with examining and exploring the space around them, either mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Curious about most everything, they are not satisfied until they get to the root of any issue or problem. They have a pronounced dislike for all forms of affectation, authoritarianism and condescension in others, and endeavor to remain natural in their approach to life. Because of their high idealism, they are generally on the side of the underdog and tend to be protectors of the poor and weak. They themselves, however, are powerful individuals with a highly developed personal magnetism. Their psychic abilities are also strong and they should therefore trust in their intuition, which is most often sound.
Highly developed March 9 people rely heavily on their instincts. Although no one would deny their mental strength, in many cases they choose to go against the odds, logic and what appears true, in favor of what their sixth sense tells them (particularly when it comes to relationships and crucial life decisions). Though sometimes accused of living in another world, in fact those born on this day understand a great deal about how the daily world works, but are also able to see through a given situation to its essence and potentialities. Whether labeled as spacy or flaky or not, many March 9 people have a more elevated or detached point of view than the average person. Thus they make valuable advisors, since they so often present a viewpoint that the person seeking counsel has not yet considered.
March 9 people often experience a conflict between their stable, nurturing side and their desire to be free, to travel, to let their minds roam over dreams and ideas. If they lock themselves into a position of heavy personal responsibility (family, job, social position), they may find themselves frustrated a good deal of the time. Part of the problem is that since they are highly capable, others easily grow dependent on them. They must be careful to leave certain doors open for themselves through which they can periodically escape and express the adventuresome, far-out elements of their personalities.
March 9 people usually go through many major changes in their lives. Moving from one job, place or relationship to another is very natural to them, since they enjoy variety and are wary of attachment. People born on this day who have not gotten to know themselves at a deep level, who know they are unusual but have never really expressed their true self, are often surprised to discover one day how truly powerful they can be. Once they begin to realize and exercise this power, those born on this day will experience and enjoy a whole new dimension in their lives but perhaps also face many new difficulties. Indeed, they may feel the urge to drop their more mundane duties, reject a former life of compromise and reach for the stars.

The Day Of Nonconformity
MARCH EIGHTH
Strengths: Individual. Magnetic. Intuitive.
Weaknesses: Isolated. Emotionally Difficult. Upsetting.
Tarot Card: Strength
Personality
Those often misunderstood individuals born on March 8 must do things their own way. Whether in their outlook, lifestyle, manner of expression or personal appearance, they are at heart nonconformists who often find themselves at odds with the status quo. Although they may be lovers of tradition, and perhaps express reverence for cultures past, March 8 people need to break away, sometimes violently, sometimes sorrowfully, from their backgrounds in order to become individuals in their own right.
Because of their critical, emotionally difficult natures, making this break themselves is often not necessary, as they may well be rejected first. But however it comes to pass, by the time they are in their late teens or early twenties they have sufficiently realized that their life is likely to be stormy and their path perhaps lonely.
March 8 people have a zest for life. Yet try as they may their lifestyle or ideas rarely find sympathy with the majority of people around them. This is in part due to their intensity, and also because their point of view is so often uncompromising, highly individualistic and perhaps challenging to societal values. Iconoclasts, those born on this day have a strong rebellious and aggressive side that does not necessarily win them friends, and an instability that may not earn trust. Yet they can be tremendously loyal friends. Those who are granted the highly personal distinction of being a March 8 person’s friend will find that an equally high degree of loyalty is demanded in return.
March 8 people are supreme roleplayers. Should they choose to do so, they can work quietly at the same job for many years, keeping a low profile. Equally well they can even function as pillars of society and upholders of the status quo. Behind the scenes, however, they will nonetheless work for change and progress, and though they may assume a highly conventional position, perhaps out of a desire for financial or political security, they usually find a way to express the extravagant side of their nature in their personal life.
Great magnetic attraction is often granted to those born on March 8. They are capable of exerting an almost hypnotic power over select individuals which is as much due to their mental strength as to their charm and intuition. As young people, their energy is often volatile and uncontrolled but as they mature they make an impact through a highly subtle, mesmerizing dynamism. Although they are not fully aware or capable of exercising these powers when young, psychic abilities often devolve on those born on this day, and may be discovered and better directed later in life. Tremendously appreciative of greatness in all fields, March 8 people are apt to express wonder and even worship when grace, power and beauty are displayed.
Meditation

The Day of Abstract Structure
MARCH SEVENTH
Strengths: Conceptual. Sensitive. Giving.
Weaknesses: Diffuse. Withdrawn. Lonely.
Tarot Card: The Chariot
Personality
Those complex individuals born on March 7 often live in a highly abstract world. Giving structure to this world is the great challenge which they take on in life. Those born on this day who are able to find a concrete form of expression for their thoughts can meet with great success.
Although their minds generally remain free to roam over very far out and abstract issues, career-oriented March 7 people usually manifest their ideas in highly practical ways, hopefully involving the popular support and participation of those around them. But whether they are involved in down-to-earth activities or not, they can give the impression of living on another plane of existence. Not surprisingly, those born on this day usually lead highly private lives away from their work.
In fact, the often lonely world of March 7 people is not an easy one to penetrate. Those who wish to be friends with them will find that it is necessary to be exceptionally patient and understanding and above all not too demanding. It is not that March 7 people find it difficult to give, far to the contrary for they can be very generous, but rather that they do not react well to direct pressure being applied to them. Usually their reaction is to withdraw, both emotionally and physically.
When they are attacked or criticized, March 7 people only defend themselves to a degree (if at all) before pulling back into their own safe space. They learn very quickly who they can and cannot trust to be understanding and accepting of them. Somewhat secretive, however, they may be less than forthcoming as to what they expect from loved ones.
For those whom they feel are deserving, March 7 people can be extremely giving of both their time and financial resources. Those born on this day are highly sympathetic to the needs of others on a basic human level and thus justice and equality can be preoccupations of theirs. Though bound up with the concerns of their society, however, they are not the most social of creatures. They may find one or two good friends more than enough for them.
Some of the problems that March 7 people encounter include inconstant energy, lack of a rich social life, fears and instabilities, and a feeling of uncertainty about what it is that they are meant to do with their lives. Once they are able, however, to direct their diffuse energies in one meaningful line of endeavor they can go very far, both to the heights and the depths. Using their work as a wedge, they may even find themselves making impressive inroads socially.
March 7 people need to remain in touch with the thoughts and feelings of their family, social circle and society at large. In bringing their sense of care and attentiveness to bear not only on their work but on their personal concerns as well, they can build quite an impressive sort of life for themselves. They may or may not ever find the right person with whom to share their life, but they can certainly build firm friendships which serve as outlets for their great need to share affection.
