Like the water that is the ruling element of March 5, people born on this day can at one moment appear calm and tranquil, and at the next be making spectacular waves. The emotional undercurrent that flows beneath these people’s attractive exterior is a strong one and, since they are sensitive types who respond to their instincts, they may feel powerless to resist the shifting directions to which they are being drawn. When they feel happy and secure, those born on this day are capable of being charming and sympathetic companions who will do their utmost to put others at their ease; when their equilibrium is unbalanced, however, the passionate expression of their frustration can be manifested in a veritable squall of temper. Given the emotional extremes to which they are prone, these people need to receive the unconditional understanding and support of those closest to them, who in many ways may be equated to ports in a storm.
The empathy which gives them such a strong rap- port with others frequently manifests itself in a fervent desire to work toward the good of humanity, and these people will find satisfaction in careers which allow them to pursue this aim—in such areas as social or volunteer work, for example. But underneath the often assured and gregarious façade presented by these peo- ple lies a more pensive soul, which needs occasionally to retreat from the demands of the world to indulge in quiet and solitary reflection—a mark of the artist. Their intellectual powers of perception and analysis are great and, when harnessed to their empathy, can achieve remarkable results.
