Steven's birthday is on March 26, making him a ARIES.

Overview of the Aries Person

Aries people often display childlike characteristics. They tend to be open, frank and energetic. Like children, they not only exhibit spontaneity and liveliness themselves, but also appreciate these qualities in others. Many Aries people are criticized for having a naive or superficial approach to life. They are particularly sensitive to criticism and in confrontational situations tend to walk away when they feel misunderstood or withdraw to brood. In fact, others who wish to relate to them have to understand how deep their need for direct expression really is.

Although they seem best suited to a public life, and indeed enjoy pleasant social activities, the greatest difficulty for an Aries may lie in getting along with other people in day-to-day, mundane situations. Certainly their freshness and charm stands them in good stead, and they know how to make a positive impression. Yet, they are stubborn in their beliefs, and their idealism can act as a roadblock to compromise. Such inflexibility may be a serious barrier to easy give-and-take in daily life.

Even those Aries who have tremendous drive to be out in the world as leaders may not be cut out for such a position. In fact, they may be too sensitive and lack toughness needed for rough in-fighting. Though they are likely to have the tenacity to hang in there, they may not exhibit the same determination to over ahead. For this reason they are often found working in a fixed position as member of a team. They may function well in such a position for years, as long as they do not feel their ideas are threatened or that they are forced to take a backseat to someone they cannot respect.

Aries usually have a low frustration level. But though they may flare up in anger, the storm passes quickly. Fortunately, because the personal vision of Aries is pure in nature, doubts or suspicions held against them are also quick to fade, since others realize that scheming and malicious intent are foreign to the Aries character.

Perhaps the idea situation for Aries is to be left alone without restrictions as much as possible. In terms of career, they do best when they have ample time and freedom to get the job done their way and also to innovate. In personal terms, those involved with Aries must make allowances for their extreme need for independence, but equally well their need for sharing.
March 26th is

The Day of Integrity

March 26th people manifest the innocence, spontaneity and candor of a child. They manage to get things done without resorting to overt aggressiveness. For them, simplicity is the keynote; they are adverse to all forms of excessive complication. This means that if a person were consistently create difficulties and problems, he or she would not remain long in the company of a March 26 person. Those born on this day usually seek the simplest solution to any human question by following things back to the source. For this reason, the splendid intuitive qualities of March 26 people will often allow fellow human beings an insight into how things work.

Although March 26 people are active, they manifest a kind of philosophical detachment. They are able to stand back and quietly view a situation, chew over what may be wrong and come up with an insightful and helpful solution. They can also be somewhat withdrawn from life, even to the point of isolating themselves for periods of time. This need for isolation may have them retreating to a favorite place, perhaps remote mountains, desert or seaside to recharge with nature. Generally what they accomplish in this time alone is simply experiencing isolation for its own sake, meditating in the Eastern sense of clearing the mind rather than mulling over plans or ideas.

March 26 people work at their own pace and are usually unhurried, thus relaxed. But just beneath the surface lies a spontaneity capable of producing quite unexpected thoughts and acts. More often than not, this spontaneity takes the welcome form of humor or expresses itself in a well-needed digression from the work at hand. Sometimes, March 26 people can be too relaxed, holding back when they really need to push ahead, and this can put them at a disadvantage with those who are more aggressive or directed.

March 26 people are aware of their foibles and that they prefer to do things their own way. However, because they are a bit more eccentric than most, they may at times be viewed by their peers as being off course. Fortunately, they are not known to be flaky or irresolute because they do not give their word lightly and do not make exaggerated claims for themselves.

One is lucky indeed to be close to a March 26 person, and favored as well, since they are not interested in making a great number of friends. For them, a friend is a friend for life and no matter how many years go by they will always have an open heart and home for those with whom they share that special rapport. If, on the other hand, they themselves are forgotten or rejected, they can turn a page and accept the situation stoically.

NUMBERS AND PLANETS
Those born on the 26th of the month are ruled by the number 8 (2+6=8) and by the planet Saturn. Not particularly interested in impressing anyone, they can be viewed as undemonstrative or aloof. Nothing could be farther from the truth since they are usually warm-hearted, with the energy of Mars (ruler of Aries) supplying the heat. March 26 people show their saturnian side by remaining responsible for others, and though their unpredictable martian spontaneity may at times sidetrack them, they sooner or later return to their duties. Those ruled by the number 8 can be overly self-sacrificing, and this trait combined with the March 26 tendency toward contentment can be detriment of their success, causing them to fall short of their talents.

TAROT
The 8th card of the Major Arcana is Strength or Courage, which depicts a graceful queen taming a furious lion. The queen symbolizes the female Magician who can master rebellious energies and stands for moral as well as physical strength. This card's positive attributes include charisma and determination to succeed; the negative qualities include complacency and a misuse of power.

HEALTH
The greatest perils for March 26 people lie in the mental sphere. They can brush off negativity in others, but when it surfaces in themselves they are too often defenseless against it, and they may even turn away from life. People born on this day are very physical, needing challenges of many kinds. Sports, recreation and sex are all important in large doses to keep them healthy and happy. Although their adventures may bring accidents or injury, March 26 people generally heal quickly and overcome disability well. They should seek to keep their eating habits constant, not gyrating from starving to stuffing; they must be fed (they like being cooked for) regular meals which stimulate their appetite with exotic tastes.

ADVICE
Be careful of being overly moral and judgmental. Keep it light and learn to take yourself less seriously; loosen up and have fun. Preserve your childlike qualities. Do not give in to bullying and push ahead in your work.
