Still rivers run deep, as the saying goes, and this maxim certainly applies to those born on March
2. These people are deeply intuitive beings, who generally would rather explore their own inner world of thoughts and dreams than launch themselves at the challenges of the real world. Indeed, although they are often passionate about social issues, these gentle people detest the emotional upset that direct confrontation causes them, and will do their utmost to promote a peaceful resolution to problems—if they have not previously managed to avoid them altogether. It therefore goes without saying that March 2 people will be unhappy in competitive business situations, and are better suited to the artistic world. However, they are also suited to those careers, such as politics or the caring professions, in which they feel that their services can make a real contribution to the welfare of others.
Despite—or perhaps because of—their rather introverted personalities, these people crave the security that results from happy and stable personal relationships. They have a deep need to receive the unconditional love of those closest to them, which they will reciprocate loyally. The unstinting devo- tion—and even uncritical adoration—that they have a propensity to direct toward their partners, chil- dren or individuals that inspire them, creates the risk of stifling the objects of their affection, however. These people should therefore try to develop a more detached approach within their personal liaisons. Indeed, a less dependent attitude to others will ben- efit them in all areas of their lives.
