Mars pushes the sign toward friction and initiative — the part of it that acts before it checks. In its first ten degrees Aries shows in its rawest form: Pisces has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.
Personality
March 23 birthday personality
People born on March 23 are Aries, and the sign is read as initiative, appetite and the willingness to go first. Starts things other people are still discussing. Recovers from setbacks faster than almost any other sign.
The 23rd reduces to 5 and joins 2 (empathy) with 3 (expression). Numerologists read it as freedom with a strong social sense: those born on this day love variety, travel and change, but they also read people well and communicate easily. Birthday number 23 in full →
At work

Stone and flower
The March birthstone is aquamarine (pale blue to sea green), and the month's flowers are the daffodil and jonquil.
