All Signs
Everything has a chart — not just people — because a chart is based on date, time of day and longitude and latitude. (Hold that thought.) This week Mercury retrograde begins! Mercury has domain over everything that MOVES FORWARD like ground transportation, words and ideas. So, if you buy a car, computer or phone during Mercury retrograde, it will have Mercury retrograde in its chart, which means it might have glitches or delays. (It’s okay to buy most things if you watch out for errors in paperwork and communications.) Mercury is retrograde from Aug.23 – Sept. 15; but if buying expensive items, avoid doing so from Aug. 10 – Sept.30. Fortunately, Mercury retrograde helps us to finish old business, research history and be introspective. (Of course, a brain is only as strong as its weakest think.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re busting your buns to work hard; however, Mercury retrograde might interfere. It could create delays, late deliveries, confused communications with coworkers, lost paperwork and silly errors. On the upside, this is an excellent time to finish old work connected with your job. It’s also an excellent time to finish medical procedures. Nevertheless, your primary focus this week is to enjoy vacations, fun outings, romantic dates, playful activities with kids and sports events. It’s a wonderful time to express your creative talents through art, handicrafts and whatever you like to create with your hands. Stay chill at the beginning of the week because this week gets better and better.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Many of you are encountering or hearing about old flames from your past, which is sometimes exciting and thrilling, but sometimes not so much. Nevertheless, you’re in a playful mood! In fact, you have lots of energy for competitive sports and physical activities. However, everything to do with sports, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, fun socializing and dealing with kids is also where you might experience delays and confused communications. Double check all reservations. Meanwhile, your focus continues to be on home, family and your private world. Many of you are involved more than usual with a parent.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Very likely, you have family members camped out on your doorstep, eating out of your fridge. Hopefully they will cook and clean. This is also an excellent time to tackle home repairs that you might have been avoiding. Under the influence of Mercury retrograde, these repairs will flow smoothly and quickly. Meanwhile, you are basically upbeat! In fact, your communications with others are warm, friendly, diplomatic and charming. Everyone loves you! In turn, this makes you feel so good that your appreciation of life is heightened, including your appreciation of the beauty of your daily surroundings. (Go figure.) Be patient with the chaos at home. Everything in life is temporary.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
More than most, you will feel this Mercury retrograde because it’s taking place in your chart where Mercury “lives” (for want of a better word). That’s why this is the classic time for you to face transportation delays and breakdowns of cars and trucks or bikes. You will very likely encounter people from your past that you haven’t seen for a while – siblings, relatives and neighbours. Almost certainly, you will run late or miss appointments and suffer from delays in the mail. Cheques will be late. But on the upside, it can be fun running into people you have history with. And this is an excellent time to finish studies, finish writing projects or finish that book – or thesis. (Major groan.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Leos will experience delays to their financial scene, which includes salary payments, cheques in the mail being late and that sort of thing. Grrr. Naturally, this is a drag. (Money is so handy when you want to buy frills like food.) On the upside, many of you will wrap up financial matters or seal the deal, especially to do with your income. You’re working hard now to earn money, and many of you are spending it freely as well. This is a great time to buy wardrobe items, especially vintage clothing. Things tend to go your way now because the Sun is still in your sign along with fair Venus, which makes everyone want to be in your company. (Your bathroom mirror is covered in kisses.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You will feel this Mercury retrograde for two reasons: Mercury is your ruler; and this particular Mercury retrograde is in Virgo. (Yikes!) This is why you’re running into old friends, partners and ex-spouses. Mars in your sign right now makes you proactive, direct and ready to make a first move. This might surprise some of your old acquaintances. Furthermore, because Mercury is retrograde in your sign, this will make you less inclined to “overthink” things. Ironically, you might act more decisively. (Who knew?) Your desire to travel and expand your world continues to be strong. Expect opportunities to do so. Likewise, opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law also exist. Stay tuned!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an intriguing time because behind-the-scenes stuff is going on. Secrets are being revealed. You might feel betrayed or marginalized. These could be minor occurrences or it could be something that hits you in the gut. Basically, it’s stuff from the past that is surfacing and now you see it clearly. At least, if not clearly, you have a rough outline. (Is that a paisley shirt?) Fortunately, friends are supportive, which is reassuring. In fact, you’re enjoying a lovely popularity with others. It’s also a fortunate time for you because the help and resources that you need from others will be forthcoming. “Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!” (Perfect timing.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is the last week when you have this wonderful advantage of having the Sun at high noon in your chart, thrusting you into a limelight that is flattering! Oh yes. People admire you! Especially bosses and people in authority who now see you as competent and capable – even if you don’t do anything special. (Garbo was right. Good lighting is everything.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will continue to attract friends from your past back into your world. These people might not only be old friends, but they could be casual contacts that you made previously when you were in a club or organization. You might be able to use this time for closure or wrapping up things with someone. Put it to good use.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
As the traveller of the zodiac, you have recently enjoyed wonderful opportunities to travel and expand your experience of the world. This is the last week that you have this strong influence at play, so make the most of it! For those of you who can’t travel, you can still satisfy your urge to expand your horizons by exploring your own neighbourhood or city and learning new things. Meanwhile, this week Mercury retrograde officially begins and this particular Mercury retrograde takes place at the top of your chart, which means you are bound to encounter parents, bosses and authority figures whom you have not seen for a while. Or you might meet them in your dreams.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your life has been unusually intense (for many of you) in the past few weeks. This is the last week that this intensity will pulsate. (It’s been a ride.) For some of you, this manifested as a passionate romance. Intimate relations have been affectionate and certainly memorable. Some of you have been in touch with old flames and people from your past. In fact, people from distant lands, other countries or those who are “different” from your own circle have also resurfaced in your life. All of these influences might prompt you to think about a residential move. Even though you are serious and you plan carefully, at times, you can be surprisingly capricious.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your strong focus on partners and close friends continues this week – for the last time. Naturally, you will continue to think of close partnerships — but not in the same way as you have in the last few weeks. Meanwhile, the advantage for your sign from this particular Mercury retrograde that begins this week – is that you will more clearly define boundaries about shared property and anything to do with shared resources with partners and others. You’ll be able to remove fuzzy confusion and assumptions. You will get a better idea of what is expected of you and what you can expect of others. Many of you will even clear up red-tape paperwork that needed to be done. (Congratulations.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Perhaps more than most signs, you have been in contact with old friends as well as old partners and ex-spouses in the past few weeks. This will be an eye-opening, educational moment for some of you. For others – not so much. Let bygones be bygones. In fact, some relations with partners and close friends are a tad testy right now, which means patience is your best recourse. (Isn’t it always?) Meanwhile, this is the last week where you will be so keen to work hard and accomplish as much as possible. Coworkers will be supportive. In fact, some of you might kindle a work-related romance. This year your greatest strength is your sense of optimism and belief in yourself. Remember this

A Thought for Today – Pagan/Witch Pride
I just want to add it is also one of the ones its practitioners still to the day get persecuted, shunned, lose family over, besides other negative things attached to it. If only people would ask a witch or pagan to briefly explain their spiritual path we witches would be able to come out of the broom closet easier, where an amulet openly that we as individuals feel represents our spiritual path like Christians who wear a cross, or a Jewish person who wears the Star of David instead of feeling we have to hide under our clothing or carry it in a pocket.
From the first time I heard the following song to this day it inspires me and helps me to not go back into my broom closet but to be proud of the fact that my spiritual and magickal path is how I choose to connect with the divine and Mother Earth’s inhabitants be they animal, bird, reptile, aquatic, or another sort of human species (an example would be Fae Folk or the Spirit Plane). The only sentence I sort of disagree with is, “We don’t need no angels, we have fairies in their place.” A personal choice I made is to believe in the Archangels and the help they can provide to us if we ask them to especially when it comes to self-protection or protecting our home, or vehicle.
I am Pagan and I’m Proud
Song: I Am Pagan Artist: Spiral Rhythm Album: We Are Light
I am pagan And Im proud I am pagan Gonna shout it loud I am pagan Want the world to know That I follow the Goddess Cause she rocks my soul
Dont need your bible Ive got the Wisdom of the crone
Dont need your heaven Into this life Im reborn No ten commandments One fills the bill And it harm none Do what you will I am pagan
And I’m proud I am pagan Gonna shout it loud I am pagan Want the world to know That I follow the Goddess Cause she rocks my soul
Don’t need your churches The worlds My sacred space
Dont need your angels I’ve got fairies In their place
We raise the spirit Most every night When we dance the fire In the pale moonlight
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud And I’m shouting it loud
If youre pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul
Well you take your path And Ill take mine A little tolerance And well both be fine
You keep an open mind It’ll set you free And Goddess bless So mote it be
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud So I’m shouting it loud If youre pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul
Are you pagan I am pagan Are you proud I am proud Are you pagan I am pagan Then shout it loud
So I’m shouting it loud If you’re pagan Let the whole world know That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul Are you pagan I am pagan
Are you proud I am proud
Are you pagan I am pagan
Then shout it loud So I’m shouting it loud
If youre pagan Let the whole world know
That you follow the Goddess Cause she rocks your soul

Good day WOTC Family and Friends!
It was long night filled with nightmares when I finally fell asleep after being up for 22 hours. Now it is going to be a long after only about 90 minutes of sleep since yesterday morning. But I am here still trying to reach the goal I set for myself on the August new Moon to not miss any days of posting until the new Moon in September. Excuse any typos or the usual order of posts not being in their usual line up and there might be a couple of posts missing. I hope I don’t zone out and just make a total mess of WOTC this morning. I will do the best I can for this moment in time while posting. After this I hope to get a couple or three solid hours of sleep before it is time to feed our fur kids, make us something to eat than get on the road to serve more people paperwork. Thank goodness I don’t do any of the driving so if I fall asleep in the car it’s not such a big deal.
Wishing you all a spectacular Saturday full of whatever you feel like doing and with whom you want to do it with!
A Little Something for Children – Blessed Be A-Z
Blessed Be A-Z
A
Tall and straight as the ash tree grows
all the things that Athena knows
Smooth and sharp as an athame blade
All the color of an autumn glade
B
Fires at Beltane jumping high
Watch the bees buzzing by
A silver bell ringing bright
A besom sweep makes it right
C
Stir a cauldron round and round
Cast a circle on the ground
Catch a crystal in your hand
Light a candle if you can
D
A raven dips and dives in the dark
Demeter makes things grow in the park
Dragon dozing in his lair
Dance with delight, do as you dare
Little Pagan Acorns
E
In the early east, an eagle flies
In an elder elm, her one egg lies
Energy comes from elements four
Embrace them all, open each door
F
Flight and a feather, often together
Fish and fin, go for a swim
Light a fire, flames grow higher
Find a fox, on nature walks
G
The God and Goddess are all around
From sky above to grass on the ground
Grab a goblet, give a toast
Visit a grave to honor the ghost
H
Horus hears as a hawk flies high
Hemlock hills are rolling by
Share some happiness with a hug
Sit on Hestia’s warm hearth rug
Little Pagan Acorns
I
Isis whispers in the night
Is there incense left to light?
Sprites and imps will skip around
Inner spirit can be found
J
Catch a firefly in a jelly jar
Jump for joy when you see that star
Enjoy a summer day in June
Join your hands under the moon
K
I like when Magick is in the air
When kids get kisses in their hair

Together like a lock and key

Love at Litha lets flowers bloom
A little laughter lifts a room

Light a lamp and blow the smoke
Little Pagan Acorns

The Morrigan smiles under May’s moon

Making mischief all alone

Pine needles in the wood
Nearby nests sit snug and good
Notice knots, they hold in power
Midnight nears, that’s the hour

Osiris has two but Odin only one
Color eggs at Ostara, that’s always fun
Only in the Otherworld do goblins stroll
Don’t get confused, a goblin’s not a troll

Poseidon likes to play in the deep
A pile of puppies makes a cute heap
The pentacle protects sacred space
Pansies and petunias have a pretty face
Little Pagan Acorns

Porcupine has quills, arrows in a quiver
Quite cold in winter, quick to shiver
Call the quarters, salute the Queen
Ask the question that is never seen

Relax when you are reading runes
A raven calls out raucous tunes
Write a ritual for Friday morn
That red rose may have a thorn
S
Basking in the solstice sun
Warming like a sticky bun
Smudging sage smells so sweet
Slithering snakes have no feet

Teas and tinctures, talismans galore
Thoth likes books more than Thor
Water trickles down the stream
Try some Tarot. What does it mean?
Little Pagan Acorns

Venus on a unicorn
Out of bubbles, she was born
V
Nike votes for victory
Volcanoes and Pele over the sea
Valkyries to Valhalla fly
Vanilla for love, give it a try

Make a wish on a western wind
With a wand, wild women grinned
Witches, Wiccans, warlocks too
In the winter, owls ask who
X
A pixie relaxes in the wood
Jinxes and hexes are never good
With equinox, the days are split
With waxing moon, the sky is lit
Little Pagan Acorns
Y
Both holly and yew are right for Yule
You’ll find nymphs by yonder pool
Yarrow and tansy in a vase
Sitting on some yellow lace
Z
Zeus in a fez, do what he says
Zebras in zoos, time for a snooze
Wander the maze, the ancient ways
Need for some zen? Just say when
Spell for Friday
The Universe Opens
This is an inspiration spell to open up the opportunities that the Universe can provide and to help you see so many new options in front of you.
- Several feet of white or silver cord
- 5 pieces of amethyst
- 5 pieces of fluorine
- 1 piece of clear quartz
- A bell
- Lavender incense
This is a spell for a Monday, to associate with the spiritual nature of the moon. Light the incense before you begin.
Lay out the cord in a circle, overlapping a few times if your cord is long enough. Inside, set the stones around the inside edge, alternating between amethyst and fluorine.
Sit with your hands open, palms up, and ask the Universe to open up and inspire you. Ring the bell one time. Place the last piece of quartz to your forehead and ask again. Set the stone in the center of the circle. Ring the bell.
Do hold your hands, palms down, over your crystal circle. Visualize the vibrations coming up from the stones and radiating up your arms. After several minutes, ring the bell a final time and put out the incense. Leave the stones in place and you’ll start to find new ideas and motivation within a few days.

Good day WOTC Family and Friends!
I don’t really have anything to say this morning because my brain is not fully functioning yet…lol
Celtic Tree Month – Coll – Hazel Moon August 5 – September 1
About the Celtic Tree Month – Coll (Hazel Moon): August 5 – September 1
“The lunar tree calendar of the Celts has long been a source of controversy among Celtic scholars. Some even claim it was never a part of the old Celtic world, but was an invention of author/researcher Robert Graves. The Druids are generally given credit by other researchers for creating this system. There seems to be no scholarly evidence to prove otherwise, yet many Celtic Pagans feel that the system pre-dates the time of Druidic influence over Celtic religious matters. It is probably reasonable to believe that the truth lies somewhere in between these three extremes. It is most likely that the tree system was in place, with minor regional variations before the time of the Druids who experimented with it, discovered the magical properties of each tree, and codified all the information into the system we have today.”
The Hazel Moon was known to the Celts as Coll, which translates to “the life force inside you.” This is the time of year when Hazelnuts are appearing on the trees, and are an early part of the harvest. Hazelnuts are also associated with wisdom and protection. Hazel is often associated in Celtic lore with sacred wells and magical springs containing the salmon of knowledge. This is a good month to do workings related to wisdom and knowledge, dowsing and divination, and dream journeys. If you’re a creative type, such as an artist, writer, or musician, this is a good month to get your muse back, and find inspiration for your talents. Even if you normally don’t do so, write a poem or song this month.

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)
B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work. Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular. Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so. Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way. Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile. To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire. We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual). A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy. If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search. Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all. That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught. You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

Birthday Horoscope’s Traits
Joyful and blessed birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!
May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
Being a Pisces born on March 20th, you are all about change and new experiences. You are relentless and get annoyed by too much calm.
Active and bold during your young years, you eventually decide to settle. In time, you become more and more practical and oriented towards finding solutions to the problems of those around. Prepare to read a special personality report below.
The zodiac sign for March 20 is Pisces.
Astrological symbol: Fish. The sign of the Fish is influential for those born February 19 – March 20, when the Sun is considered to be in Pisces. It signifies Divine Consciousness and ambivalence.
The Pisces Constellation with the brightest star being Van Maanen’s is spread on 889 sq degrees between Aquarius to the West and Aries to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.
In Greece it is called Ihthis and in France goes by the name Poissons but the Latin origin of the March 3 zodiac sign, the Fish is in the name Pisces.
Opposite sign: Virgo. This means that this sign and Pisces are a straight line across each other on the zodiac wheel and can create an opposition aspect. This suggests compassion and diligence as well as an interesting cooperation between the two sun signs.
Modality: Mobile. The modality proposes the creative nature of those born on March 20 and their optimism and modesty in tackling most life events.
Ruling house: The twelfth house. This zodiac placement suggests the starting over after a success or a pitfall and rising each and every time more powerful and with more experience to learn from.
Ruling body: Neptune. This connection suggests intuition and pleasure. It also suggest the creativity surrounding the lives of these natives. The glyph of Neptune combines the cross with three crescents directed above.
Element: Water. This element represents transformation and continuous growth and is considered to determine the mood swings of those associated with March 20 as they tend to support their actions on feelings and less on reason. Water boils things in association with fire, it’s vaporized by air and shapes things in combination with earth.
Lucky day: Thursday. This is a day ruled by Jupiter, therefore deals with domination and seduction. It suggests the intuitive nature of Pisces natives.
Lucky numbers: 5, 9, 18, 19, 23.
Motto: “I believe!”
People born on March 20 are original and intuitive and love when they are surrounded by others who are as talented as they are. They also take time to observe what is going with those around them, be it at a human personality level or beyond that. They are easily annoyed by materialistic and selfish individuals and are amongst the first to point them out. They enjoy being par of fancy enterprises that allow them to showcase their potential and they are often quite accepting.
Positive Traits: Energetic and quick learners, these Pisces natives have their own lifestyle in many regards. They make faithful and romantic lovers and also insightful and altruistic companions. They are active and bold in their early years but then with age they smooth things with their knowledge and become more confident in themselves.
Negative Traits: Capricious and often stubborn, quick to dramatize and rapid to exaggerate what is going on in their lives, these natives want the whole attention to be on them. Unfortunately they are often victims of their own ideals and life principles and rarely know when to temper their behavior and smooth their impulses. They rely on instinct but often prioritize other things ahead. They try to make logical and rational arrangements but their feelings get caught along the way.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on March 20 are creative and adventurous. They love dating and meeting new and exciting persons but when it comes to commitment they avoid any kind of attachment. However, if they ever get struck by love they start acting like fools and their whole world starts revolving around the object of their affection. They are attracted to energetic and fun persons who can keep up with their active and unpredictable lifestyle.
Lucky Color: The preferred color for Pisces zodiac is Turquoise.
This ever changing mix, ranging and changing shades appeals and stimulates the creative and visionary Pisces. This combination of watery colors is not only inspiring but surprisingly soothing for Pisces.
Other hues that appeal to people born on March 20 are purple, pink and sea-green.
Representative Birthstone: The sign stone for Pisces zodiac is the irresistible Aquamarine.
This precious stone is said to ease communication and humanitarian endeavors. Aquamarine also symbolizes increased awareness and quick response.
Other sign stones that are thought to bring luck to people born on March 20 are Amethyst and Opal.
Characteristic Flower: The representative flower for Pisces zodiac is Water Lily.
Water Lily also symbolizes a sincere and warm hearted nature. This is a flower said to influence emotional responses. The multiple petals focused around the golden center suggest a complex and focused nature.
Other flowers suggestive for Pisces are Jonquil and Violet.
Symbolic Metal: Aluminum is the characteristic metal for Pisces zodiac.
Aluminum suggests invention and innovation. This light weight original metal relates to travel and also has a few connections with spirituality and prosperity.
Another metal considered beneficial for people born on March 20 is Zinc.
Characteristics: March 20 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of PISCES (March 11-March 20). This decan is strongly influenced by the planet Pluto. This is representative for people who are creative and idealistic just like Pisces and focused just like Pluto. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of the Pisces zodiac sign, slightly enhancing the negative ones.
What Statistics Say: March 20 is counted in the Gregorian Calendar as the 79th day of the year or the 80th day in leap years, while until the end of the year there are 286 days left. The twentieth day of spring, this is the International Day of the Francophonie, the International Day of Happiness and the World Sparrow Day.
If you were born on March 20, you are so sensitive and compassionate toward others that it may overwhelm you sometimes. While you are naturally optimistic, you are also so empathetic that seeing others in pain hurts you personally. Embrace this beautiful gift of sensitivity but practice a modicum of detachment to protect your own feelings and ward off depression. Your sense of loyalty is admirable, but you’ve got to learn to make yourself and your own needs a priority, too!
March 20 Pisces at Their Best: Insightful, compassionate, versatile
March 20 Pisces at Their Worst: Depressed, hyper-sensitive, weak
What to Wear: Soft pastels and relaxed-looking shirts, pants and skirts. Fairy godmother and knight in shining armor outfits are optional.
What to Eat: Clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, baked fish and sea scallops.
Who to Invite: All the millions of people who find their way into sentimental Pisces’ humongous heart.
Where to Go: Any water lover’s paradise like a river, pool, or the beach.
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS March 20, you are original. Your adaptable personality is suited well for party-goers. You can interact with anyone from any background. You are most attracted to nontraditional places, things, and people.
In social situations, you love to amuse people or to showcase your many talents. People are often attracted to you for your ability to set everyone at ease.
If you are a Piscean born on this day, your birthday personality characteristics show you to be inquisitive. You tend to develop a unique way of thinking that people may sometimes view as being odd.
Pisces, do not worry about that… keep on doing what you do. It is what makes you, You! Those with March 20 birthday, love their freedom and along with that, is your right to have your own experiences.
You are somewhat like the air we breathe. You can be high one day and low the next. When you are at your low, you can be reclusive and withdrawn.
There is a positive side to this, however. Yes… Pisceans will use this time to regroup or to reinvent themselves. You are on the right road to success. You have a great understanding of how you want your life to be.
On the negative side of Pisces zodiac birthday, 20 March people can be stubborn and competitive. You can get an idea in your head, and it is hard to get you to see otherwise.
Those born on this day would like to keep conflict to a minimum so this Piscean will not have many friends at all. Lessons learned from previous experience, it is easier that way and less drama is involved. You like to keep a positive attitude and avoid destructive influences.
Your birthday astrology predicts that your imagination needs fuel. You get your inspiration from others and your surroundings. Sometimes, Pisces, you get a gut feeling about something and it turns out to have favorable results.
This could be your inner self, leading you in the direction in which you should go. Listen to it especially regarding your financial affairs. It may be beneficial to you.
As the March 20 birthday horoscope foretells, you can excel at anything you do when it comes to your profession. However, you probably would be happiest in creative fields such as careers in writing or music.
Nature has a way of speaking to you when you involve yourself in spiritual things. In addition, Pisces, you would do well in the medical practice or social interaction since you love people and they love you as well.
As a Piscean, you are subject to illnesses relating to allergies or common ailments of the feet. It is also possible that you will have mental challenges. This could be due to a certain trauma in your life or something that is hereditary. Either way, you should seek professional help.
You cannot do some things on your own. It is human to reach for a drink of some kind when we are upset, but you, Pisces born on March 20, should avoid doing this. This kind of behavior can lead to a pattern of excessiveness. Pisceans are also at risk for eating disorders as well.
20 March Pisceans love to dress in free-flowing clothes while they are lounging at home. Often times, you can be in your bare feet. You do not shop at the major department stores for your bargains.
Pisces’ love to bargain hop visiting garage sales and thrift stores. You know you can find many interesting and unique things there. It is also a great way to give back to the community by using the local stores instead of those franchises and chains. You love a good buy and have a distinctive way of dressing.
You love yourself, Pisces. Self-love is a wonderful thing but you let other people’s opinion influence your decisions or and how you feel. You need to have a plan and order in your life.
The March 20 birthday meaning shows that you know exactly how you want things done and how they should turn out. Some of you born on this day are suited for most any profession but you will do well in the music field or something that can use your writing skills.
