If the criticism is just, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. If, however, the criticism is unjust, take it as a compliment—it often means that the critic feels jealous or threatened by you.
Despite their ability to instantly establish rapport with anyone they meet, people born on March 7 often have an otherworldly quality about them. This is because they have a tendency to live in an abstract world of thoughts and ideals produced by their own vivid imagination.
People born on this day possess the gift of extraordinary vision and their minds love to roam far and wide. Typically, they can manifest these ideas in practical form by analyzing situations, experiences and people. Along the way, they will do their best to ensure that they get the support of colleagues, friends and loved ones, taking great care to make sure everyone feels involved. At work they never forget a name or a personal detail about their colleagues; at home they will ensure everyone can voice their opinions.
Even though they are often surrounded by friends and admirers, there is a haunting loneliness about these people; because they dislike conflict, they tend to withdraw when there is heated discussion or criticism of their methods. In their self-imposed isolation, they may also become insecure about themselves and their abilities, and secretive and suspicious of others. People born on this day should find other ways to cope when they feel under pressure; although they are unlikely to become close to large numbers of people, they should make sure they have the love and support of their family and/or a few good friends. Up to the age of forty-three they are active and assertive, a positive sign for them with their natural tendency to withdraw. After the age of forty-four there is an emphasis on greater emotional and financial stability.
Because they are so receptive to all kinds of intellectual pursuits, these people may take a while to settle on their chosen aim. However, once they are able to focus their vision and energy in a worthwhile direction, their intelligent and sensitive approach assures success. A part of them will always remain untouchable but this doesn’t make them appear or feel lonely—it just adds to their magic.
On the dark side
Detached, isolated, secretive
At your best
Thoughtful, generous, intelligent
Love
Charming and generous, people born on March 7 have no problem finding friends or lovers. They do, however, hate conflict, and an argument with a partner can make them feel low for days; instead of expressing what they feel, they will simply withdraw into resentment, leaving their partner not knowing why. It is very important for these people to learn to be more honest in their relationships and try to reach agreement through compromise.
Health
People born on this day can often be prone to food allergies and sensitivities, so it is important for them to pay attention to their diet and to discuss what might be a trigger food so that they can limit their consumption of it. In general their diet should include a wide variety of foods and, to make sure they don’t miss out on nutrients, a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is also advised as these people can be prone to lowered immunity during times of stress. Moderate exercise, in particular swimming and diving and all forms of dance, is recommended as well as enjoying plenty of fresh air by taking walks in the park or countryside. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color red will encourage them to assert themselves more.
Career
Whatever career these people choose—be it business, politics or sport—they will mount a determined campaign to assure their success. They do have a strong need to express themselves and may be especially drawn to careers in film, art, music, photography, or dance, as well as teaching, social work and the healing professions.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to be more honest with others. Once they are able to assert themselves, their destiny is to realize their visionary goals and ideals.

Luck maker
Bend but don’t break
Lucky people are passionate about their convictions but also flexible enough to change direction or modify their opinions if life gives them reason to do so.
People born on March 8 are fiercely uncompromising spirits. They may sometimes hide their non-conformity behind an agreeable exterior but anyone who knows them well will know that deep down they are independent thinkers filled with the courage of their convictions.
These people resent being told what to do, probably demonstrating their feisty nature from an early age, much to the frustration of their parents. They often have an innate distrust and in some cases a complete lack of respect for authority; they passionately believe that everybody deserves the right to think for themselves. Their somewhat subversive approach to life can wear others out but it is not usually prompted by a need to be difficult for the sake of it. More often than not their rebellion is prompted by an ability to easily spot the flaws or weaknesses in a situation that has been previously unchallenged and to identify a better approach. In fact, these people are outstanding lateral thinkers with great empathy toward others, and this marks them out as potentially great reformers in whatever field they choose to specialize.
March 8 people have a great zest for life and a need for challenge and variety. They often feel the need to strike out or break away, not just from their background, but from the current situation they are in. They are capable of commitment and loyalty, however, and may even stay in the same field for many years, but sooner or later the aggressive and uncompromising aspect of their personality demands change and progress. Their uncompromising tendencies tend to be emphasized before the age of forty-two and in this period their lives are likely to be stormy. Then, after the age of forty-three, there is a turning point which suggests a need for more emotional and financial stability.
Although these people have a knack of alienating people with their forceful opinions, they are also blessed with considerable charm; they should understand the hypnotic, addictive power they can have over people and use it wisely.
On the dark side
Disrespectful, irresponsible, demanding
At your best
Independent, honest, magnetic
Love
People born on March 8 are often adored by others but real closeness can elude them, especially in their teens and twenties. They crave intimacy but can have problems with it as they tend to be loners. They can be passionate but are afraid of losing control, and for their relationships to be fulfilling they need to learn to be more spontaneous and to take more risks.
Health
People born on this day need to avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine when they are pushing themselves hard. It would be far better for them to eat an energy-boosting diet rich in nutrients and to get plenty of refreshing sleep. Fortunately, their assertive manner serves them well when it comes to their health, as they are not afraid to approach their doctor if something is troubling them; they do, however, need to take special care of their health especially when traveling, because they tend to be accident-prone. Adding a few drops of ginger essential oil to a handkerchief to breathe in whenever they feel in need of a pick-me-up can help clear their head and improve productivity.
Career
Potentially great trailblazers, these people excel in academic, scientific, artistic, and social spheres, and they make good academics, researchers, scientists, chemists, musicians, painters, writers, artists, and designers. They may also be drawn toward careers in politics and social reform, as well as public relations. Alternatively, they may decide to set up their own business.
