Personality Traits & Characteristics of Famous People Born on March 22

Personality
People born on this day are highly energetic. True to their fire sign, they have a fiery personality. This fire can illuminate the way by helping them navigate through difficult situations, making them strong leaders. Unfortunately, these same qualities can make them a bit temperamental as they fail to listen to the needs and suggestions of others. March 22nd individuals make excellent friends because they are loyal and protective of the people they value. However, they are often taken advantage of, because they fail to see others for who they really are. Their protective nature can cause them to become jealous or a little possessive.

Health
People born on this date are fairly healthy. They enjoy being active, which makes it easy for them to stay physically fit and strong. Various types of physical activities and sports come naturally to these people, and are often a source of leisurely activity. The other side of the coin is that these highly active individuals are vulnerable to injuries and stress-related illnesses. Their competitive nature in most aspects of life is often the reason for high stress levels. The inability to meet their own impossible standards can lead to depression and anxiety. The key to staying healthy is learning the difference between ambition and complete burn-out.

Finance
Money is of utmost importance to those born on March 22nd. They enjoy basking in material possessions and often equate them with hard work, status and importance. These individuals may quickly sacrifice financial security for the possibility of living a more lavish, but risky lifestyle. Arrogance and materialistic behavior is a recipe for disaster.

Career
Managerial and other leadership positions best suit individuals born on March 22. When working in entry-level positions, they are at their prime when there is opportunity for advancement. Opportunities to run their own business can keep these individuals happy in their career choices, as long as they recognize their tendency to make impulsive decisions.

Relationships, Marriage and Children
Relationships carry their own challenges to those born on March 22, since these individuals are easily bored. A major component of attraction to them is luring the object of their affections. Beyond the initial phases of a relationship, the need is to keep the chemistry new and exciting. Similarly, they may unknowingly pursue a relationship due to the challenges it brings, and not genuine interest. Within a marriage, they will expect to dominate the household. In exchange for taking a more subordinate role, the partner will live in a secure and lavish household. These individuals make excellent parents, but are tough disciplinarians. They should take care not to live vicariously through their children and encourage them to find their own path.
