Born March 21
‘You might as well say that I dream when I sleep is the same thing as I sleep when I dream,’ said the dormouse conversationally. ‘Would you like some more tea?’ ‘I’ve had none in the first place,’ replied March 21 tartly. ‘How about some cake?’ asked the Mad Hatter solicitously, albeit timidly, because of course there was none. This tea party was a disaster. March 21 adjusted its long golden hair and wide blue sash and threw several cups and saucers onto the ground, which broke into small pieces. The dormouse scampered away, crying, and the other guests sat very quietly. This individual goes to 100 per cent rage from a standing start and it’s not lack of tea and cake that ruins the party, but temper. You might as well wrongly observe, as the dormouse might say, that being hungry can make you ill-tempered is the same thing as being ill-tempered can make you hungry. But in this person’s case it often comes down to the same thing. They’d better get control of themselves or they’ll begin to lose control of everything. No fate is so firmly decreed or temperament so binding that things can’t be changed by an act of will, and really and truly this is one of the easier ones to fix. You just have to admit it, then find a way to stop it. This problem manifests itself slightly more in women than men. It comes from tiredness, overpressure and a deep seated lack of self-confidence which means this person sees criticism or slight, particularly about weight and perceived lack of genuine, reliable friendliness. Just relax. Wear white, the late March colour for luck and innocence and new beginnings. And if you can’t wear white, wear jet jewellery. It’s supposed to inspire the wearer with courage, hope, overcomes melancholia and maybe with this ancient and powerful reputation it’s got as much chance of keeping you calm as anything else.
Body
March 21 is prone to colds which adds to her general weariness. It’s always been known that zinc supplements help, taken daily in conjunction with vitamin C to aid absorption, but up until now it’s been a hit and miss affair, especially as it’s unhealthy to take more zinc than the pharmacist prescribes. America now comes to the rescue with homeopathic zinc lozenges, soon to arrive here. Cold viruses link in, then attack human cells. Tests show that the lozenges successfully prevent the viruses from sticking to human cells. Apparently it’s not an outright cure, but cuts the duration of the cold by half.
Mind
Rage comes to fertile ground. Classical music calms and wards it off. Choose single instrument music, piano or violin sonatas, rather than the more stirring big orchestral pieces.
