    Aries are normally ambitious people but author Anna Sewell, who was born today, did not seem to have a trait, as she only ever published one novel, although it was the children’s classic “Black Beauty”.

    Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh was also born today, his painting have influenced 20th Century Art enormously, “Sunflowers” and “The Starry Night” being two of his most famous pieces. But maybe his negative Aries tendency towards perfectionism, led to his mental illness and suicide.

    Inguar Kamprad the Swedish entrepreneur also celebrates today, who may be better known to many as the man that gave the world IKEA. He has certainly used his Aries drive and ambition, as well as the desire to be first in life to their full potential to create this global phenomenon.

Debate ensues to this day as to who was at fault for this awkward interview.  Could Parky's Aries stubbornness have played a part?

    If your celebrating today, you share a birthday with Pamela Harriman, whose first husband was Randolph Churchill, with who she had a son Winston, named after his grandfather. She is well known to have had many affairs and was married three times, this could be down to the fact that all Pisceans are romantics but she doesn’t seem to carry the usual trustworthiness (in relationships) that Pisceans have.

    Former footballer Dave Beasant was also born today, as a Pisces he probably spent his childhood dreaming of playing in the FA Cup Final, which he later achieved, along with being the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in a FA Cup Final.

    You share your birthday with Desperate Housewife star Dana Delaney.   Another famous actor,  William H Macy was also born today.

    Most Pisceans are quite spiritual creatures, and spend their lives searching for meaning.  It is important for this star sign to feel connected and accepted, and religion often provides an unconditional source for these types of positive emotions.  Religion also gives Pisceans a focus for their natural generosity and kindness, and allows them to feel that they are helping in some way.

    Not satisfied with the list of existing religions, Piscean L Ron Hubbard, who celebrates his birthday today, created his own:  Scientology.

    Today is also the spooky Friday the 13th.  Although there are plenty of urban legends and speculation about why this day has become considered so unlucky,  there is little evidence for a concrete explanation.  The most likely reason is that both the number 13 and the day of Friday were long considered unlucky,  so pairing the two made it a doubly ill-fated day.  While some studies have shown a link between this day and tragedy, others say that there are less accidents on Friday 13th because people tend to be more careful.

    Pisceans love showbusiness and the arts.  Although they often play supporting roles rather than the leads,  their natural tendancy to escape into fantasy makes them ideal for acting, singing and writing.  Although they tend to be a bit more fragile than other signs,  and don't often develop the hard skins needed to survive the harsh world of celebrity,  there have still been plenty of Piscean stars over the years.

    James Taylor is one such creative talent who celebrates his birthday today.  Famous for his folky songs such as 'Fire and Rain' and 'You've Got A Friend',  Taylor has won several Grammy's and has earned a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  His songs speak of themes such as friendship, love and travel and are typically romantic for a Piscean.

    Another famous singer of quite a different kind is Liza Minnelli who was born today to the even more famous singer and actress Judi Garland.   Minnelli has won awards and critical acclaim for her Broadway performances in Cabaret, and her movie role in New York, New York,  although many of her other ventures have beenunremarkable.

    The American writer and poet Jack Kerouac was also born today.

    Every idealistic Pisces will have dreamt about wandering off to explore other worlds and planets at one time or another,  so it is no surprise that the author of one of the most famous humorous science fiction novels was born today.  Douglas Adams is the author of The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy,  an off-the-wall story about the meaning of life.  The book has become a cult classic, especially for students.  Adams has also written several sequels and other books.

    The media mogul Rupert Murdoch celebrates his birthday today too.  I'd like to be there for his birthday party - he is reputedly worth a staggering $8 billion!  Murdoch's company NewsCorp owns Fox, Sky TV and the Wall Street Journal, as well as the publishing house HarperCollins.  Athough many Pisceans have plenty of vision and ingenuity to build businesses,  they tend to lack the hard nosed business skills to deal with the practicalities of the day to day running of a company.  Murdoch is a great example of what a Piscean can do when they tur

    The beautiful and talented Juliette Binoche was born today.  Perhaps her dreamy look is due to her Piscean nature?

    Now logic is definitely not something normally associated with those born under the sign Pisces, and yet arguably the greatest chess player who has ever lived, Bobby Fischer was born today,  meaning the he belongs to this fishy sign.  He obviously put hisPiscean creative thinking together with a powerful intelligence to come up with strategies and solutions that others couldn't crack.

    Pisceans are well known for being dreamers, and are often found gazing off into space, day dreaming about wild adventures and romantic escapades.  OnePiscean , however, was the first to actually follow those dreams and literally go out of this world.  The Russian, Yuri Gagarin was born on this day, and was the first man in space.

    In Memorium:
    It was on this day in 1997 that the rapper, Notorious BIG, was shot and killed,  publicising and effectively ending the long standing violence between East and West Coast rappers.

    Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits!  A pinch and a punch, and all that.  It's the first of a new month.  Does that fill you with inspiration and goals for the month ahead?  A fresh start often stirs up a renewed energy in us, and as a Piscean,  you tend to place more of an emphasis on emotional beginnings than most of the other zodiac sign.  Try to keep your feet on the ground to avoid disappointment by creating a short list of achievable goals for the month.  Is there a special occasion or purchase that you want to save for?  Perhaps there is a book that you want to read.  Or maybe you can write a list of one person who you want to reconnect with each week,  whether by email, letter or a phone call.
    Famous people born on March 1st include Zach-Paul Gosselaar from Saved By the Bell and NYPD Blue,  sexy Spaniard and current beau to Penelope Cruz Javier Bardem, pro wrestler Booker-T, eighties pop star Nik Kershaw, epic movie director and Happy Days star Ron Howard, and the lead signer and songwriter for The Who Roger Daltry.
