It may surprise those who do not know them intimately that beneath the confident and direct manner of people born on March 3 lie deeply sensitive and reflective beings. Indeed, some of these people may consciously have cultivated a brisk, no-nonsense approach to shield their emotional vulnerability and their unfounded sense of insecurity. In general, however, they are naturally inclined toward combining their considerable powers of intellectual clarity with their instincts.
The inherent ability of March 3 people to unite such qualities of compassion and rational perspicuity is a rare gift, and augurs well for success in such careers as charity or social work, in which they can promote their desire for human progress by means of a carefully considered and logical plan of action. This conjunction of sensitivity, rationality and discipline also bestows great potential for artistic pursuits or innovation upon those born on this day.
These empathetic and caring people make loyal and affectionate partners and parents, supplying the right balance of emotional support and domestic organization. It is essential, however, that they do not allow their propensity for intellectual criticism to become overdeveloped. Because—whether they realize it or not—these people are motivated by their emotional responses, they have a tendency to pro- mote the beliefs that are supported by their intuition with convincing justifications, and then to discredit counterarguments by picking holes in them. They should beware of allowing themselves to become dismissive of others.
