March 23

Who you are

You cross lines easily. New city, new field, new group of people, and you are through the door while others are still deciding whether they are allowed to be. Aries makes the untried attractive to you and Mars makes the crossing itself the good part. What happens once you are inside has always been the weaker half of the story.

You get bored in a way that other people find alarming. Not with the difficulty of a thing, which you can handle, but with its repetition. Once you know how something goes, some part of you has already left the building. You have started over more times than most of your friends have, and you have become very good at starting.

Your gifts

• Nerve for beginnings. You will walk into a room where you know nobody and none of the rules.
• Clean breaks. When something is over you can end it and go, without a long negotiation.
• Permission giving. Watching you move makes other people believe they are also allowed to.

Your shadow

Restlessness gets expensive. You leave before the interesting part, which arrives long after the novelty does, then tell the story as though every place you left was too small for you. Some of them were. Most of them just became ordinary. What you never get is the thing that only exists after five uneventful years in one place.

Your soul work

Stay in the room. Choose two or three things and let them get boring on purpose. Depth only turns up once the novelty has gone and you have never stayed long enough to see it happen. You can always leave. Try being the one who did not.

Days you get along with

Your sign

The zodiac begins with fire. Aries carries the gift of the start, the courage to go first, and the lifelong lesson of learning to finish.

Someone else

Look up another birthday

Check a friend's day, or your partner's, and send it to them.
