An irresistible attraction to beauty is central to the lives of March 6 people—less often an aggressively forceful or passionate attraction, but rather a subtly magnetic one. March 6 people find themselves drawn toward certain people, situations, environments, music, drama and art that please their senses. They themselves often have attractive powers of their own which they may not fully realize. Easygoing March 6 people need to spend time getting to understand this power and how it can work for them if they wish to be more successful in their careers and progress in their personal development. March 6 people may be going along peacefully in a certain direction when something or someone catches their eye, and though they may view this thing of beauty but for a brief instant, they cannot get the image out of their mind. Irresistibly they are drawn to it and before they know it they are caught. Perhaps this is due to their unconscious sensitivities or even psychic powers and the nature of romantic attraction and how it works. March 6 people tend to project their own series of internalized and idealized pictures out on the world, or at least an unconscious set of strong expectations. Especially when viewing that which strikes them as beautiful, they often do not see what is really there, but rather what they wish to see. Perhaps what they see reinforces and complements their internal needs. Thus they may, like Narcissus, be actually falling in love with their own reflection. Many March 6 people are highly aesthetic creatures, willing to devote their lives and if necessary sacrifice themselves to their ideals. They themselves are capable of inspiring great admiration, even adoration in others. Such attraction might be called irrational were it not for the fact that it often satisfies concrete, objective concerns and needs. For March 6 people, all forms of sensuous experience—textures, sounds, colors, smells and tastes—combine in a kind of bouquet which buoys their spirits but sometimes overwhelms them. Some born on this day may well become slaves to their desires and attractions, but for many March 6 people the purely sensual does not satisfy their need to adore and appreciate beauty. They need to do far more—to idealize the object of their affections, and once having done so, to share their life with it, perhaps even merge with it. Unfortunately, disenchantment and disentanglement are two possible painful results when an initial ecstatic period of involvement has faded. For those born on March 6, learning to be objective in handling their attractions and attractiveness is key to their maintaining control over their lives and fulfilling their potential as human beings.

Numbers

Those born on the 6th day of the month are ruled by the number 6 and by the planet Venus. Those ruled by the number 6 are magnetic in attracting, but also expressing, both sympathy and admiration. For March 6 people the added influence of Neptune (ruler of Pisces) may push venusian tendencies in the direction of sentimentality and impressionability. Often love becomes the dominant theme in the life of those ruled by the number 6.

Archetype

Emphasizing this last point is the fact that the 6th card of the Major Arcana is The Lovers, symbolizing the love that unites all of humanity through integration of masculine and feminine polarities. On the good side this card indicates affections and desires on a high moral, aesthetic and physical plane; on the bad side, unfulfilled desires, sentimentality and indecisiveness. Too often March 6 people think they are living in a most desirable, blissful state when actually they are either slaves to their desires and passions, or under the strict control of some less impressionable individual.

Health

Those born on March 6 will generally want to surround themselves with as much beauty as possible. Long walks in the country and regular vacations far away from the bustle of cities are strongly advised, if possible. Gardening is a perfect hobby for March 6 people if they have access to a flower bed or vegetable patch, since it can provide needed exercise as well as aesthetic satisfaction. Improving their health can be seen by March 6 people as a way of enhancing their appearance, as well. The more sensuous born on this day have to watch diets which can too easily go in the direction of highly fattening foods, particularly those with an excess of animal fat. Controlling such urges can be very difficult. Though denial is an item that is foreign to many March 6 people, they must get to know it better if they wish to accomplish their goals.

Advice

Not only beauty is worthwhile. Beware of being too easily seduced by it. Discover your real source of power and use it constructively. What about your personal development? Sometimes one must move on, no matter how painful separation may be.

Meditation

Falling in love too easily and too often may in fact be an expression of disaffection with oneself
