For Sunday, March 10, 2002, those with birthdays today: You have an unusual opportunity to break past rigid thinking and add to your status both professionally and publicly. Still, you will need time to process ideas and get to the bottom of your natural resistances. Often, you will want to be alone. Romantic pitter-patter becomes part of the norm this year, especially in the next five months. If attached, share more with your sweetie. Aquarius understands you.
