1 MARCH

The Birthday of the Practical Visionary

“I believe in miracles”

The life lesson: is dealing with self-doubt.

The way forward: is to talk to yourself in a reassuring way, as a loving and supportive parent would to a child.

Luck maker: Stop thinking “what if?” Worry achieves absolutely nothing, so use that energy proactively to take small steps toward achieving your goals.

March 1-born have great originality and intelligence, a talent for inspiring others and for transforming ideas into reality. Sensitive and charming, they have an eye for beauty, seeing the world with the vision of an artist. They can also be extremely practical—anyone who dismisses them as dreamers is making a big mistake. They often feel a deep concern for the wellbeing of others, although it may not be until later in life that they inject practicality into those concerns. When focused they can accomplish miracles through their determination and conviction, but they are also prone to lack of self-confidence, can be easy influenced, and their ideas and talents taken advantage of.

Born creative directors, these people have the skills to succeed in business, but they need careers that enable them to channel their imagination and originality into constructive projects. They are drawn to writing, drama, music, art, design, architecture, social-media content, app creation, programming, gaming or freelance work. Later in life they are attracted to social reform and charity work. They tend to be dreamy and to neglect the importance of exercise, so a regular workout schedule is advised. For self-care, walk or jog, preferably in the park or countryside, as you can get fit and daydream at the same time.

Drawn to controlling types and conflict averse, they need to set clear boundaries in their relationships and find people who offer them support but also freedom to express their visionary ideas. They are at their most vulnerable to negative influences or causes that aren’t worthy of them before the age of 20. Fortunately, they become more assertive and self-assured as they age, but they should watch that they don’t become selfish in the process. After the age of 50 they feel a need to devote themselves fully to family or to a variety of humanitarian or environmental causes. Once they manage self-doubt, they often find themselves in the position of a leader and their destiny is to make a difference by transforming their own original ideas, and the ideas of others, into solid achievements.
