Born at this point in Pisces season
Someone born on March 1 arrives early in Pisces, while the season is still finding its shape. They feel the mood of a room before anyone speaks, and they bend toward what the people around them need. Friends lean on their patience and warmth. Yet that same openness can leave them unsure which feelings belong to them, so they say yes before checking what they actually want.
