The cerebral potential and willpower accessible to those born on this date often indicate that with calm and patience you can achieve great success. Like any true Arian, you have an assertive personality and an aggressive appetite for action, usually of the mental kind.
The double influence of your ruling planet, Mars, encourages you to be independent and direct. Nevertheless, when angry you may have to overcome a tendency to be brutally frank and at times overemotional. Creating a harmonious environment always has a positive influence on you, and developing good communication skills can help you to avoid many misunderstandings.
An ability to excel in all kinds of intellectual activities gives you the edge in debates and discussions, but unless truly inspired, you can become easily bored and waste your great mental power on petty arguments and unnecessary mental tension. Nevertheless, you have a natural sixth sense and can easily detect insincerity in people, especially if they are playing power games.
Although you are quite capable of looking after yourself, at those times when you feel unappreciated and emotionally indecisive, you may have to be careful not to see yourself as a victim of other people’s aggression. When you recognize the power in knowledge, your true potential is realized. You can become the master planner and develop a good sense of structure, or become a strategist with a foolproof system. You can also be lucky with investments, and with your multitalented personality, you can be very fortunate materially.

It is vital, therefore, to develop the amazing mental potential of those born on this date, through self-discipline and concentration.
Your strong emotional connection to love at a deep level emphasizes the importance of affection in your life and may take you into many different types of experience.

With faith and inspiration, you often forge ahead with great determination in pursuit of your objectives.
Whatever career you choose, you may find your natural leadership skills bring you to the forefront of your profession, and you are likely to enjoy initiating projects.

A natural success with people could be channeled into professions or businesses that involve you with the public.

Paradoxically, although March 28 people are naturally somewhat solitary and reflective individuals, they frequently find themselves at the center of attention and beset with others’ demands— requests either for the pleasure of their company or for their services. Other people admire them for their optimistic and practical approach to life, as well as for their personal charm and perceived empathy, and therefore turn to them for advice and support. And, indeed, these individuals respond magnificently to a crisis, mustering their great qualities of originality and steadfastness in the face of a challenge and thereby often achieving the desired outcome.
Rather than being motivated by feelings of pro- found compassion, however, it is the testing of their intellectual powers and stamina to which March 28 people respond. This quality of emotional detachment when occupied with the details of an issue will benefit them in such professions as the police or military, as well as in business and the building trades.
Although they are blessed with the ability to be objective and realistic in their dealings with the outside world, those born on this day need to feel cocooned by the loving devotion of those closest to them at home. It would surprise those who do not know them well to discover that these apparently confident and capa- ble individuals are often subject to nagging feelings of self-doubt—which is perhaps the reason why they feel compelled to prove their worth. A stable domestic framework within which they can retreat from outer demands and be themselves is therefore crucial to these people’s emotional well-being.
