Report

Those born on March 13 lead fateful lives, which in retrospect could be said to have turned around a few chance happenings. Most individuals born on this day strongly believe in predetermined occurrences, moreover, and are prone to making predictions about the world and the lives of others. There is something of the oracular about much of what March 13 people say. They often utter their analyses of the world and its problems with a kind of knowing finality. The more intellectual of March 13 people are attracted to philosophy, spiritual teachings, theoretical speculations and scientific or analytical systems; they tend to worship the human mind and what it is capable of producing, yet reserve an even higher awe for the Universe of which it is only a small part. Those born on this day are capable of surviving what would be overwhelming catastrophes for most people, be they physical, economic or psychological disasters (particularly true for men born on this day). Because of their fatalism, March 13 people of both sexes are able to accept the blows of fate without complaint and go on to lead highly creative and productive lives. In many cases, before these events occur March 13 people are not fully aware of their talents or fortitude. Thus such trying circumstances can serve as a sort of baptism, or rite of passage, which not only furthers their growth but also instills pride and grit that can be called upon in future difficulties. They may even come to better understand themselves and their life path. Personal evolution and growth is something that is built into the basic fabric of the March 13 personality, so that almost all people born on this day progress in an evolutionary fashion without much choice in the matter. However, many get sidetracked along the way due to an attraction to the esoteric and metaphysical energies which they can’t fully handle. Such individuals tread on dangerous ground when they pretend to master or even to understand matters beyond them at the present moment, but even this serves as an important part of their development, no matter how great their failures. One of their wishes is to be an inspiration to others, and to find those who can benefit from what they have to say. In general, March 13 people should resist making predictive statements or even thinking certain thoughts about individuals close to them, since they thereby may unknowingly influence the course of future events. So-called self-fulfilling prophecies can be, in their case, nothing more than a strong set of expectations. However, not only dreams but also nightmares have a way of coming true if dwelled on too much.

Numbers

Those born on the 13th of the month are ruled by the numbers 4 (1+3=4) and 13, and by the planet Uranus which is both erratic and explosive. March 13 people are, of course, born under the sign of Pisces and thus ruled by Neptune as well. The resulting Uranus-Neptune connection tends to break down the more static and resistant elements of their personalities. Thus those born on this day are forced to change by major events, whether they like it or not.

Archetype

The most misunderstood card in the Tarot is the 13th card of the Major Arcana, Death, which very rarely is to be taken literally but signifies a letting go of the past in order to grow beyond limitations, metamorphically. Both this card and the number 4 suggest that March 13 people must guard against discouragement, disillusion, pessimism and melancholy.

Health

Those born on March 13 tend to be accident-prone. They must pay particular attention to their lower extremities and take especially good care of their feet and toes. Moderate, regular physical exercise is important in keeping the physical apparatus of these philosophical and concept-oriented individuals in good working order. Particularly recommended are a variety of non-competitive activities, such as yoga, calisthenics, long walks in natural surroundings, swimming, and tai-chi or dancing. The March 13 diet should be strictly controlled, and feature a high percentage of whole grains, nuts, fruit and of course fresh vegetables. In certain special cases high protein intake can be important for a period of time. A nutritionist, homeopath or alternative medical specialist may be helpful.

Advice
