Committed idealist
Your Pisces birthday reveals you to be an idealistic individual with a good sense of values and practical skills. Friendly, kind, and often blessed with vitality and drive, you are a strong-willed person with a direct and frank approach. Highly intuitive, especially in matters concerning financial affairs, you are able to take advantage of excellent job opportunities. When you set your heart on an ideal or a cause, you can be both dedicated and determined.
The added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Cancer indicates that usually your sixth sense about people is correct. With an ability to recognize a good bargain when you see one, you do not miss many opportunities. As a sympathetic individual, you are receptive to the feelings of others but need to beware of fluctuating moods. With a natural ability to lead, you usually fare better giving orders than receiving them. In order to achieve success, you need only apply the necessary self-discipline.
Blessed with excellent health and knowing how to enjoy yourself, you relish the good life. You may have to beware, however, of overindulgence or becoming too materialistic. Avoid coming across as bossy or arrogant by showing your humble and gentle side. If you lack discipline, you may be uncertain of your values and beliefs, but with the right attitude you can move mountains and impress others with your knowledge and capabilities.
Until you reach the age of fourteen your progressed Sun moves through Pisces, placing the emphasis on your emotional development. While you are between the ages of fifteen and forty-four, your progressed Sun moves through Aries. This influence suggests that you gradually develop your assertiveness and enjoy being active and adventurous. This is a good time to take the initiative and learn to be more straightforward. After the age of forty-five, when your progressed Sun moves into Taurus, you may become more emotionally steady and practical. You also have an increased need to be established and financially secure as well as to be nourished by beauty and nature. At the age of seventy-five your progressed Sun moves into Gemini, emphasizing communication and the desire to study or talk.

Those born on this day are idealists, but their quest for perfection is not motivated by austerely intellectual objectives, but rather by a desire to experience the pleasure and satisfaction that are engendered by true excellence. The orientation of this overriding ambition may vary according to the personal interests of March 6 individuals, but since all are profoundly sensitive and thus inherently appreciative of the arts, this sphere of life is particularly important to them.
Whether or not they actively direct their highly imaginative talents toward the creation of sublime pieces of music, paintings, sculptures or poems, those born on this day are stimulated and uplifted by aesthetic beauty above all else. Some of these peo- ple passionately wish to create an ideal political or social regime. Whatever their career choice, be it in business, the arts or in the caring professions, these people will typically invest their considerable gifts of energy and perception in the attainment of their high ideals.
The disadvantage of this high regard for excel- lence, however—and this is especially true for March 6 men—is that others will inevitably fail to match their lofty standards. In their personal lives espe- cially, the disappointment that these people feel when the object of their affection turns out to have feet of clay can be shattering, and they may therefore have difficulty in making and maintaining emotional commitments. They must therefore try to develop a more realistic and less demanding attitude to those closest to them.
