Individuals born on this day are valued by their coworkers and family alike for their calm and steady qualities. They typically keep firm control, imposing their logical methods on everything and everyone that they encounter, thereby ensuring that their professional and personal environments remain organized to their liking.
Although they work determinedly toward their ideals and ambitions, these are never unrealistic or unachievable, and, indeed, the world view of March 31 people is conditioned by the pragmatism that allows them to readjust their approach—and com- promise if necessary—if this will give them a better chance of success. Such willingness to be flexible if the circumstances require it is an undoubted asset in the business world, to which these people’s qualities suit them extremely well, especially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the monkey.
Inherent in these individuals’ desire to effect prog- ress in an orderly and direct manner is their impa- tience with what they regard as unnecessary com- plications—be they impersonal obstacles impeding their path, or the objections of others. And while they will eventually accommodate most differences of opinion in the interests of pushing ahead, the sources of their irritation will first have been sub- ject to their wrath. In their personal liaisons, March
31 people—particularly if they are men—display magnanimity, affection and loyalty, and expect those closest to them to reciprocate in kind. If, however, they perceive signs of insubordination, they have a tendency to lose their tempers spectacularly.
