The added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Cancer indicates that you have a fertile imagination. As you usually have a wealth of feelings, you are also sensitive and caring. When sympathetic and receptive to the feelings of others you can be very supportive and loyal, but avoid taking on other people’s problems.

If dissatisfied, avoid indulging in escapism, worry, or self-pity.

Those born on this day are uncompromisingly individualistic in every aspect of their lives. Their energy is fueled by a burning compulsion to gather knowledge and seek out the truth of a situation for themselves rather than accepting the interpretation of others. And, because they are extraordinarily imaginative, their curiosity will lead them to explore a variety of avenues, then to evaluate their findings objectively before expressing them in their unique fashion.
March 9 people have high nonmaterialistic ide- als—a result both of their visionary qualities and of their sensitivity. Because they desire harmony in life, and because their empathy with others bestows on them a profound sense of natural justice, these peo- ple will often make gifted social campaigners and reformers. Indeed, into whatever career their inter- ests lead them—be it in the artistic realm, politics or sport—these people will never allow the excite- ment of discovery to obliterate their humanitarian concerns.
Because they retain their inherent feeling of con- nection with other people, especially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the horse, March 9 people will rarely forsake the real world for the isolation of an ivory tower. Yet this does not mean that these pro- found thinkers will not withdraw temporarily from the society of others in order to ponder an irresist- ibly absorbing concept. Those closest to them should therefore respect that occasional periods of solitude are crucial to these normally gregarious people.
