If you were born on March 8, you claim your Sun in Pisces, the sign of the fish. This water sign is emotive, impulsive, open, and eager. People with this birthday are often especially adaptable and learn a vast amount of emotional intelligence throughout their lives if they are willing to self-reflect.
You likely can see some similar traits in yourself since the time you were small, while also noticing massive changes in your personal evolution over time—perhaps more than those around you. With your intuitive nature, your ability to get in touch with your feelings, and your flexible persona, as a Pisces, you can make incredible strides in self-growth.
Neptune and the March 8 Pisces
The ultimate water sign, Pisces is not only represented by the fish but is also a mutable sign. Mutable signs are generally more flexible and malleable than cardinal and fixed Zodiacs, and the water element is known for its adaptable qualities.
If that wasn’t representative enough of your aquatic domain, you are also ruled by Neptune. Your planetary ruling body was named after the Roman god of the sea. Neptune influences intuition, dreams, inspiration, and spiritual enlightenment. Just as all planetary influences can have their negative traits (think Mercury retrogrades and Mars with conflict), Neptune can also have a stimulus of a confused, naïve, or unrealistic outlook.
As a March 8 Pisces, it would do you well to metaphorically keep your feet planted on the ground whenever you can. Tapping into your intuition is brilliant, but some with your sign over-rely on this quality. You, Pisces, need to balance your rational thinking with your gut instinct.
Over time, Neptune can lead to a building pessimism in you if you continually flow forward expecting everything to turn out perfect. You are a Pisces, but you’re also human. Eventually, too many disappointments will add up and leave you with a weakened, downtrodden attitude if you don’t temper your decisions with some pragmatic thinking.
Think of Neptune as a guiding influence to keep you reaching for a higher spiritual self. This is one of the best attributes of your ruling planet. Keep this balanced with an occasional check on your logical decision making, not just based on intuition, and you will be better off as a well-balanced Pisces.
Empath Qualities in a March 8 Pisces
One of the more notable qualities in a March 8 Pisces is compassionate nature that can go as far as what many would call being an empath. You might feel you can actually pick up other peoples’ emotions or vibrations. Considering we’re made out of energy, it is entirely possible to detect the energies of others or sense them.
If you have this empath characteristic, use it to do good, but also be guarded about protecting yourself. When you sense other people need a boost, you are an excellent person to do it. You likely can tell when they need a pep talk or a compliment when others cannot.
However, as a Pisces, you need to beware of “energy vampires” who are continually negative. Keep emotional boundaries up around these people or remove them from your life if they are not imperative to keep around and are especially draining or negative.
If you feel continuously weary after spending time with someone, it’s worth taking some time to reflect on your interaction with them a bit deeper. You may also feel overwhelmed in crowds because of this empath quality. Try to put up a mental barrier in hugely populated areas if this happens to your Pisces spirit.
Pisces and Impulsive Decisions
As a March 8 Pisces, you are a bit of a dreamer. This dreamy quality can make you more prone to impulsiveness and rash decision making. Aiming high for your goals is brilliant. You need to combine this with mapping out sensible steps to follow to get there.
Many Pisces also have a bit of trouble with budgeting or following through because of impulsiveness. Whether it’s keeping up with your exercise routine, maintaining healthy finances, finishing books you start reading, or completing a project, there is at least one area you likely struggle to stick with. You might also find something more exciting and want to drop what you’re doing to flow where your water element moves you.
Being an adaptable person can be one fantastic quality, as life is always changing. With that easy-going nature, you need to hone your perseverance and learn to think before jumping. With many Pisces, rash decisions can lead to unnecessary heartache or dwindling finances.
Pessimism and Sensitivity in a Pisces
One of the more significant weaknesses a Pisces must work on is that of moodiness and being overly sensitive. You will have your own personal way of dealing with hurt feelings—whether it’s becoming defensive easily, getting involved with drama, or just crying often over minor things others say to you. Regardless of how you handle it, being overly sensitive is a quality that is prevalent in most March 8 Pisces.
Finding healthy ways to thicken your skin, so to speak, will do you well. You might find it beneficial, Pisces, to remind yourself of hurtful things you’ve accidentally said to others. Doing this can be a helpful reminder that we all make these mistakes, and we don’t have to take everything so personally.
Training yourself to be optimistic when you don’t always feel that way can seem daunting. However, there are some simple ways a Pisces can learn to pull themselves up out of pessimistic moments. Writing lists of gratitude, taking a walk outside and looking at all the things you can appreciate around you, or setting a timer to meditate only on happy thoughts for five minutes can make a massive difference if they are done regularly.
Creativity and Artistry Within a March 8 Pisces
Pisces are often among the most artistic signs of the Zodiac. A March 8 Pisces will usually have some creative talent, whether well-known or not. Your artistic quality could emerge through music, fine arts, performing arts, writing, or any form of design. Some famous artists or visionaries born under the sign of Pisces:
- Composer Frederic Chopin
- Kurt Cobain
- Music producer Timbaland
- Rhianna
- Michelangelo
- Auguste Renoir
- Ron Howard
- Liza Minnelli
- Spike Lee
- Steve Jobs
- Photographer Ansel Adams
You’re in good company, Pisces, if you have an imaginative flair or penchant for the arts, design, or photography. When a Pisces runs with their talent, they can do incredible things. Even if your day job as a Pisces is far from creative, you will probably find it almost therapeutic to keep a hobby that involves creativity.
March 8 Pisces Traits in Men
A Pisces man, if he carries the traditional qualities of the sign, is one of those rare types who is in touch with his emotions, compassionate, and excessively romantic without being overly jealous. Jealousy can occur in anyone, but a Pisces man will more often turn that feeling into sadness rather than anger and attempts at control.
This man tends to rely on his intuition more than many of his counterparts. When he trusts his gut, he’ll know when to believe a partner and when not to. Many Pisces men will use this sixth sense rather than snooping to guide whether he thinks there could be infidelity. These men can be a bit dramatic, but also loving, empathetic, and easy to get through to when having emotional conversations.
March 8 Pisces Traits in Women
A Pisces woman is intuitive, sentimental, and generous. She is likely to be quicker to give than to receive and may have trouble taking gifts from others. This woman lives in a dreamy world in her head but can also be driven in a quiet sort of way towards her passions.
A Pisces woman will expect romance and give it in return. Many of these females are especially nurturing mothers, who may even have a difficult time letting go of their children when they grow and fly off on their own. Memory also tends to be prevalent in many of these women—they’ll remember your good deeds forever, but also the ways they’ve been hurt.
The Best Professions for a Pisces
Being instinctual, compassionate, artistic creatures, Pisces have several professions for which they can be an ideal fit. With a loving spirit, a sense for subtle nuances, or a fascination with things that affect the body, many doors open up for a Pisces when considering jobs. Whether you are better at the sciences or arts, some of the best careers for a Pisces are:
- Therapist or counselor
- Veterinarian
- Perfumier
- Sommelier
- Artist or writer
- Photographer
- Director
- Music teacher or musician
- Architect
- Landscape, fashion, or interior designer
- Marine biologist
Many Pisces feel the pull to work with animals in need, or other people struggling with addictions or family issues. With a water element, you might be drawn to anything aquatic, such as chartering a boat or being a SCUBA instructor.
The beauty of having a Pisces instinct is that you will usually know in your gut what you want to do with your journey via a job. It may take you a bit of time to find it during your youth, or fear might stand in the way, Pisces, of you and your dreams, but you probably already know deep down what path you want to follow. It’s a matter of being brave enough to go for it.
March 8 Pisces and Their Most Compatible Signs
As a March 8 Pisces, you will most often find the highest compatibility with those born under Virgo, Cancer, and Scorpio. Occasionally another Pisces will be an excellent match.
Two Pisces can be overrun with emotion to the point the relationship because downtrodden or painfully negative. If you’re both self-aware, you can overcome this. However, it will take a lot of positivity and keeping the essentials of life, such as finances, in check for this couple.
A person with their sun in Cancer will share your profound feelings but tend to keep theirs locked up a bit. You can help a Cancer open up a bit, while they can help you learn to control some of your impulsive moments. This can be a very loving duo with a deep commitment.
Scorpios are highly emotional, too, and it can be a wild card to find out the ways their emotions show themselves. If you both bring empathy and trust to this relationship, this can be an intense bond. Make sure you utilize that instinct of yours to find a Scorpio who is trustworthy—many of them are.
Virgo is your Zodiac opposite but can bring life to your world in many ways you didn’t even know you needed it, and the reverse is true, too. Virgos are a pragmatic, hard-working, honest, and organized sign. They tend to be quite grounded and can help balance Pisces characteristics. You can help a Virgo relax and bit and be more imaginative, also. This has the makings of a long-term relationship.
