Report

Those highly conceptual, visionary individuals born on March 9 are concerned with examining and exploring the space around them, either mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Curious about most everything, they are not satisfied until they get to the root of any issue or problem. They have a pronounced dislike for all forms of affectation, authoritarianism and condescension in others, and endeavor to remain natural in their approach to life. Because of their high idealism, they are generally on the side of the underdog and tend to be protectors of the poor and weak. They themselves, however, are powerful individuals with a highly developed personal magnetism. Their psychic abilities are also strong and they should therefore trust in their intuition, which is most often sound. Highly developed March 9 people rely heavily on their instincts. Although no one would deny their mental strength, in many cases they choose to go against the odds, logic and what appears true, in favor of what their sixth sense tells them (particularly when it comes to relationships and crucial life decisions). Though sometimes accused of living in another world, in fact those born on this day understand a great deal about how the daily world works, but are also able to see through a given situation to its essence and potentialities. Whether labeled as spacy or flaky or not, many March 9 people have a more elevated or detached point of view than the average person. Thus they make valuable advisors, since they so often present a viewpoint that the person seeking counsel has not yet considered. March 9 people often experience a conflict between their stable, nurturing side and their desire to be free, to travel, to let their minds roam over dreams and ideas. If they lock themselves into a position of heavy personal responsibility (family, job, social position), they may find themselves frustrated a good deal of the time. Part of the problem is that since they are highly capable, others easily grow dependent on them. They must be careful to leave certain doors open for themselves through which they can periodically escape and express the adventuresome, far-out elements of their personalities. March 9 people usually go through many major changes in their lives. Moving from one job, place or relationship to another is very natural to them, since they enjoy variety and are wary of attachment. People born on this day who have not gotten to know themselves at a deep level, who know they are unusual but have never really expressed their true self, are often surprised to discover one day how truly powerful they can be. Once they begin to realize and exercise this power, those born on this day will experience and enjoy a whole new dimension in their lives but perhaps also face many new difficulties. Indeed, they may feel the urge to drop their more mundane duties, reject a former life of compromise and reach for the stars.

Numbers

Those born on the 9th of the month are ruled by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers (any number added to 9 yields that number: e.g., 5+9=14, 4+1=5, and any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: e.g., 9x5=45, 4+5=9), and March 9 people also exert a strong influence on those around them. The planet Mars is forceful and aggressive, embodying male energy. March 9 people, as Pisces, are ruled by Neptune. A Mars-Neptune connection grants powerful and even magical qualities, usually involving psychic and highly intuitive abilities.

Archetype

The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who is usually depicted walking with a lantern and a stick—he represents meditation, isolation and quietude. The Hermit also signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. He is a taskmaster who motivates by conscience and guides others on their path. The positive indications of this card are stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity and concentration; negative qualities include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement.

Health

Those born on March 9 must avoid undermining their health by placing themselves under too much stress and shouldering too many responsibilities. They must beware of periodic depression, sometimes the result of an inability to express their creative talents or better their career circumstances. Variety in surroundings, proper diet and physical activities, healthy relationships as well as freedom of expression of course help greatly. Those born on this day are people who really need to free up the more vibrant side of their nature and be appreciated for who they are. Thus, their choice of partner is indeed crucial to their happiness. A talent for food preparation is not uncommon to this day, but March 9 people must beware that they are not taken for granted, despite the tremendous satisfaction they get from pleasing others.

Advice

Get to know yourself better. Decide what it is you must do. There are times when it is best not to define yourself in terms of others. Exercise your personal magnetism. Have the courage to go as far as you can.
