Born March 01
March 1 is a homemaker. Her rooms are perfumed. The paint effects on her walls, or maybe it’s stylish paper or even fabric, is an inspiration. She can put curtains together at lightening speed. The men conjure up a magnificent dolls’ house for their daughter. If they can’t afford to buy paintings, they take a brush and make one. With such flair, if either sex chooses they have an obvious and brilliant career. Fortunes can be coined, plus fame and cosseted popularity with rich, eager and socially persuasive customers. Punctuality may be a problem for our sparkling water sign. If they are swimming along, three quarters of an hour away from a meeting scheduled in the next half hour, it’s not late until the actual time has passed. Managing as they do with an uncommonly slippery sleight of hand, this time optimism doesn’t legislate against success. Find them also in the media. But better in their own businesses, where their originality inspires clever, extremely marketable ideas. Redundancy brings no fear. Money whizzes into their hands, plus a better social standing and more relaxed life outside the confines of corporate life, where their maverick qualities either bring exceptional success, or ground them in other’s inertia. March people are usually extremely socially concerned and work hard for charity. Snobbery also lurks in this beautiful head. The pebbles in another stretch of water always glisten more brightly and like salmon, they can take great leaps up the rockiest social waterfall. They may therefore choose a mate who fits in with the social whirl, always preferring someone who looks after them to a dependent lover. Women in particular resent the househusband because if anyone’s going to stay at home and care for the children, they want it to be them. Being financially taken care of is important, and although Mrs March will love and nurture her family and partner, penury is a pain in the pantaloons.
Body
A dolls’ house is a basic wooden box with divides and a curtain or attached door over the front. A large old drawer may make the basic structure. Paint or paper the rooms with leftover bits of birthday wrapping. Add lighting, magic for a child, using a torch battery with tiny torch bulb set into ceilings with the help of soft solder. (Perfectly safe.) Postage stamps make excellent pictures, framed with tiny strips of coloured Sellotape. Shells, set in glue, make handsome decorations for front doors. Use cotton reels for coffee tables, and three matchboxes glued together for a chest of drawers.
Mind
March 1 has vivid dreams, sometimes recurring. Most have an optimistic meaning. Walking in the dark because the electric light has gone foretells good news from abroad. Dreaming of floods? To the traveller it means calm seas and safe journey.
