Your March Birthday: March Holidays, Traditions and More


In like a lion, out like a lamb: March's blustery winds subside into the gentle warmth of spring, and young men's thoughts turn to love and possibly to partying at Cabo on spring break.

Monthly Observances
March is National Craft Month, as well as the National Month for caffeine awareness, cheerleading safety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome awareness, "Clean[ing] Up Your IRS Act", colorectal cancer awareness, ethics awareness, eye donors, frozen food, Multiple Sclerosis education and awareness, kidneys, nutrition, social work, umbrellas, and women's history. It is also National On-Hold Month, so celebrate by listening to some sappy music while doodling.

March is the International Month to Expect Success (remember to work while you're waiting), as well as the International Month for ideas, listening awareness (what?), and mirth (okay, got that covered).

Weirdest Holiday: What if Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs? Day, March 3rd. Um, yeah, I have often wondered this myself. At least as often, I've wondered why we didn't have a special holiday for it. Now I'm wondering how you would celebrate such a holiday. Oh, and now I'm wondering if the holiday people have just lost their minds completely.

March Traditions
Flower: jonquil - domestic happiness, friendship
Birthstone: aquamarine, bloodstone - courage, wisdom
Pisces's gem: aquamarine

Zodiac sign:Pisces (1- 20) and Aries (21-31; see April for details). Of course, Pisces the fish is a water sign, with the characteristics of intuition and adaptability (think of water quickly taking the shape of its container). Pisceans are sensitive and devoted, but tend to be dreamers, so make sure your head isn't stuck in the clouds, little Fish! Best friends: Scorpio and Cancer. Best love matches: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
