Saturn · patience and the capacity for hard work
Compound number 26: The number of caution. There is a risk of loss in partnership and joint ventures. Better to keep the accounts in your own hands than to invest large sums on someone else's advice.
26 March: the reading for this birthday alone
Those born on the 26th can carry enormous responsibility, and they do. They work hard and are sharp with money. But they need to stay alert in partnerships and friendships; trusting the wrong person has cost them most. A written agreement and their own watchful eye are their protection.
The Sun at birth: Pisces · Uttara Bhadrapada. At your birth the Sun stood in Pisces. Imagination, compassion and a spiritual pull run deep in you. Art, music or service hold your heart. You take on other people's pain as your own; keep the practical accounts straight and feeling will never cheat you.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by The Moon, so the heart grows softer and the pull towards people stronger. The Sun in Uttara Bhadrapada gives deep knowledge, restraint and a steady mind; you stay calm in danger. Saturn, the planet of your root number, and Jupiter, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are friends. So the qualities of your birthday and of your sign pull in the same direction; you are quick to find your path.
Born on 26 March, with the Sun in Pisces: four areas of life
Career
You last in financial management, heavy responsibility or long-term projects. Art, music, medicine, service, religious or charitable work bring both your heart and your success.
Money
Stay alert in partnerships; no large deal without a written agreement. Money does not stay easily; it goes on charity or on others, so set yourself a saving rule.
Love and relationships
When trust breaks you do not forgive easily; take time choosing people. Devoted and romantic in love; only idealising your partner leads to hurt later.
Health
Mind the knees, lower back and fatigue; keep work in balance. Mind the feet, sleep and immunity; stay away from intoxicants.
The Sun’s sign and nakshatra are worked out from the day and month; for a birth close to the day the Sun changes sign, it can shift by a day from year to year. Check the full birth chart to be sure.
Your three-layer personality
the Moon: Inside, you are soft and easily touched. You read someone's state of mind from their face alone, and that is exactly why small remarks wound you more than they should.
Venus: Outside, you are tasteful and attractive. Your clothes, your home and the way you speak all carry a neatness that people notice.
Root number 8 belongs to Saturn, who settles accounts. Saturn gives nothing without labour, but he does not short-change labour by a single paisa either. Your life is the story of a slow but solid climb. There is struggle in childhood and in early adulthood, and the position begins to harden after thirty-five. Those born under this number show the same pattern again and again: the ones who gave up halfway in discouragement were left with nothing, and the ones who stayed with it arrived somewhere others could not reach.
neutral Inside versus outside: The relation between inside and outside is neutral. You can show either face as the situation requires, and that flexibility is your advantage.

Remedy · Saturn
Giving mustard oil, black sesame or iron on Saturday, and treating those who work under you kindly, lessens Saturn's severity.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
