Highly imaginative
Your birthday shows you to be a hardworking and pragmatic Piscean with a friendly and charming personality. Although you are direct and prompt in your approach, you are inspired and highly imaginative. Often self-reliant and with a strong sense of purpose, you have natural diplomatic skills that imply that you prefer to work in collaboration with others as a leading member of a team. Avoid becoming involved in power games or manipulative tactics, however.
The added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Cancer indicates that you are receptive and sensitive. As you usually have powerful thoughts and an ability to sense the subconscious of others, you are naturally psychic about what motivates them. As a caring individual, you are sympathetic to others’ feelings but need to beware of fluctuating moods. If insecure, avoid resorting to arguments just for the sake of being difficult; escapism or self-pity will not serve you well, either.
Although you are ambitious and have good business sense, your birthday suggests that, due to your mental dynamism, you need to constantly reestablish a balance in your life. By creating harmony, you are able to overcome inner tensions and unexplained anxieties. An inclination for metaphysical subjects may draw you to spirituality or philosophy. When inspired by a cause or an idea, you are able to learn your subject thoroughly and even contribute your own original thoughts.
While you are between the ages of thirteen and forty-two your progressed Sun moves through Aries, suggesting that you gradually become more confident, assertive, and ambitious. You may prefer a leading role or start new ventures. At the age of forty-three there is a turning point as your Sun enters Taurus. After this time, you slow down and have a need for more stability and financial security in your life. From the age of seventy-three, when your progressed Sun enters Gemini, you develop a heightened interest in communication and the exchange of ideas.

March 8 people harbor a fiercely independent spirit beneath their outward veneer of endearing affability, so while they may give the impression of conforming to the norm, to some extent they are often actually working to undermine accepted conventions. This somewhat subversive approach is not prompted by a need to be perverse for defiance’s sake—although the free-spirited individuals born on this day are naturally resistant to submitting to hidebound rules and regulations—but rather because they find it easy to identify the flaws and contradictions of a previously unchallenged approach and to formulate a better solution.
Indeed, people born on March 8 are often blessed with highly developed intellectual qualities of inquiry and lateral thinking, as well as being inherently sen- sitive and empathetic toward others. Such character- istics mark them out as potentially great reformers or inspirational trailblazers, especially in the academic, scientific, artistic, literary and social spheres.
As children, March 8 people will have to accept the hard lesson that society demands adherence to its mores, but if their parents respect their individuality and give them understanding and a sufficient degree of sympathetic guidance, they will benefit from the opportunity to learn to channel their talents posi- tively. Otherwise there is a danger that the compul- sion experienced by these people will find negative outlets, or that they will cut themselves off from others altogether. This is not to say that they should suppress their independence of thought, but simply to remember the value of compromise.
