Report

Those born on March 10 are deep, emotional individuals. Their drive for success is often rather low-key and they may be more concerned with understanding themselves and coming to grips with their complex personalities than they are with fortune, power or fame. This does not mean to say that March 10 people are overly self-involved or somehow self-indulgent. On the contrary, they love to have fun, particularly in an intimate social setting with close friends, and are most happy when they occupy a central position in their families, surrounded by nurturing and protective influences. The sensitivity of March 10 people is pronounced. They are easily hurt, feel rejection keenly and want little more than to live in peace with their fellow human beings. However, those born on this day who have experienced traumatic childhood episodes, deep psychological wounds inflicted by a hurtful parent or overly rigid moral systems placed on them early in life, can retreat from the world into a private, inaccessible emotional space and stay there. Because March 10 people are so sensitive, they experience the highs and lows of life as few others do, and therefore are more likely to turn inward and search their souls, to try to understand themselves. Through this inner development they cultivate empathy to the pain and suffering of the misfortunate, and for this reason, many born on this day opt for a service-oriented career. The more highly evolved of March 10 people show great sympathy and kindness for others, even to the point of being self-effacing and saintlike. As parents March 10 people tend to be nurturing and understanding, but must beware of a tendency to be overprotective and subtly manipulative. Generally, March 10 people put personal considerations before anything else. Also since they are so highly developed in the emotional realm, they may not develop their willpower and mental toughness as fully as they might. Consequently they can drift or stagnate, not having the strong desire or ability to better their circumstances. For the less talented or gifted of March 10 people, qualities of acceptance and passivity may not be so desirable. In putting emphasis on internal rather than external values, March 10 people are oriented toward an idealistic, non-materialistic value system. Yet they nonetheless display a great need for security and a marked desire for simple comforts, which becomes more evident with advancing age. The danger here is that they will stagnate and fail to carry their personal development any further. It is true that their exploration of inner emotional worlds (theirs and others’), deepens their sensitivity and makes them more soulful, but they must not use this activity as an escape from expressing themselves outwardly or making crucial decisions.

Numbers

Those born on the 10th of the month are ruled by the number 1 (1+0=1), and by the Sun. Those ruled by the number 1 generally like to be first, which in the case of March 10 people may mean putting their feelings first. The Sun often grants the qualities of a warm and well-developed ego, with a distinctly human, positive orientation to life. Since those born on March 10 are Pisces they are also influenced by Neptune, which lends a romantic cast to the Sun’s radiance, and may indicate a tendency to be a bit scattered, impressionable and fanciful.

Archetype

The 10th card of the major Arcana is The Wheel of Fortune, which symbolizes the ups and downs, wins and losses, and successes and failures of life. (Those ruled by the numbers 1 and 10 focus on seizing opportunities; indeed, acting at just the right moment is the key to their success.) The card signifies a reversal in fortune and teaches that there is nothing permanent except change.

Health

Those born on March 10 often have a low resistance to harmful elements in their environment. Many are not only prone to various allergies but are also a bit too sensitive to the negative energy of others, which can work to their detriment. Building a strong ego is the basis of their psychological development, even if later in life they wish to dissolve it in selfless pursuits. March 10 people can suffer from a variety of chronic disorders, usually involving the nervous and circulatory systems. Retaining fluid may be a particular problem for them, for which they should seek medical or homeopathic advice. Since they are comfort-loving individuals, March 10 people generally enjoy a wide range of sensual experiences. Those born on this day must pay close attention to their diet; particularly recommended are whole grains, fresh vegetables and a lowering of dairy and meat intake. Regular physical exercise is strongly suggested, particularly long walks in the open air, swimming, yoga or milder forms of aerobics.

Advice

Don’t deny your ambition. Build a strong ego. Learn to protect yourself from your environment without cutting yourself off; remain open, but attentive. Beware of getting stuck or materially attached.
