to assert yourself.
The way forward: is to be as encouraging and as positive as possible when trying to get a point across.
Luck maker: Learn from criticism if there is truth to it, but if the criticism is unjust treat it as a compliment—it just means the critic feels threatened.
Those born on March 7 often have an otherworldly quality about them. This is because they have a tendency to live in an imaginary world. They are blessed with exceptional vision, but they can also be analytical and practical, and can strike an easy rapport with just about anyone. They never forget a name or a personal detail and like to ensure everybody gets a chance to be heard. Although they have many admirers, they can be lonely. They detest conflict and distance themselves whenever things get heated or they are criticized. The more they run away, the more insecure they become about themselves, as well as secretive and suspicious of others.
Born designers, they have a strong need to express their vision and may be drawn to careers in art, film, music, dance, poetry, sculpture, web design, photography, social media, teaching, social and charity work and the healing professions. Whatever career they choose—whether it be business, technology, law, politics or sport, or any other—their determination ensures success. Prone to insecurity, wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color red will encourage them to assert themselves more. For self-care, write in a journal every day. The more comfortable you are with expressing yourself honestly, the more likely you will do the same in your relationships.
People born on this day should find ways to express how they feel other than retreating into their shell, and be more honest in all their relationships. Up until their early forties, they work at becoming more assertive, which is a positive sign. After the age of 44 they are keener to gain greater emotional and financial stability. Because they are so open-minded, these people may take a while to settle on their chosen goal, but once they are able to focus their vision and energy in a worthwhile direction, their intelligent and sensitive approach assures success. A part of them will always remain untouchable, but this doesn’t make them appear or feel lonely—it just adds to their magic. Their destiny is to realize their visionary goals.

People born on March 8 are fiercely uncompromising. They may sometimes hide their nonconformity behind an agreeable exterior, but anyone who knows them well understands that deep down they are independent thinkers. They distrust authority, believing that everybody deserves the right to think for themselves. Their subversive approach can exhaust others, but their rebellion is not for the sake of it. It is prompted by an ability to easily spot the weaknesses in a situation and to identify a better approach. In fact, these people are outstanding problem-solvers and this marks them out as potentially great reformers in whatever field they choose. They have a vivacious approach to life and a need for constant challenge and change. Although they can sometimes alienate others with their forceful opinions, they are blessed with considerable charm and need to use their hypnotic power over others wisely.
Born reformers, they can excel in business, and scientific or artistic endeavors, and they make excellent academics, researchers, chemists, musicians, painters, writers, designers, programmers, consultants and finance experts. Politics and social reform may also appeal as well as public relations and life-coaching. They tend to be accident prone, so should take special care when exercising or traveling. For self-care, let go of resentment. If someone has upset you, write a letter expressing your frustration but don’t send it to them. Tear it up and release any feelings of draining resentment you have, reminding yourself that you have forgiven but not forgotten.
These people crave intimacy but also fear it, and they need to be more spontaneous and to open themselves up to others more. They are capable of commitment, but sooner or later the uncompromising aspect of their personality demands progress. These restless tendencies tend to be emphasized before the age of 42, but after that there is a turning point, suggesting a need for more stability. Once they have learned to temper their uncompromising tendencies and they can get people fully on their side, their destiny is to lead others toward new ways of thinking and doing things.
