Traits of the Sun in Pisces
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on March 9th, you are considered a Pisces according to most people in the Western world. The influence of the Sun in a birth chart can vary based on its location in a specific house and its relationship with other planets. However, here are some general traits often found in individuals whose Sun is in Pisces:
- You are a loyal friend: You stand by those who are close to you, even during tough times. Your genuine care for others and recognition of the value of true friendship make you a trustworthy companion.
- You easily attract the opposite sex: With your physical attractiveness, charm, and financial stability, you are popular, especially among members of the opposite sex.
- You can excel in water-related professions: Pisces being a water sign ruled by Jupiter, individuals with the Sun in Pisces often find success in fields related to water, boats, and other maritime professions.
- You may feel insecure: Despite your financial stability and popularity, you tend to focus on your weaknesses and imperfections, often failing to see your natural talents and strengths due to high ideals and a tendency toward perfectionism.

Pisces Careers
Pisceans prefer working behind the scenes or in fields that allow them to help others. While you are unlikely to experience poverty, be cautious of overcommitting to various projects and neglecting yourself. Careers that align with your creative and compassionate nature are recommended, such as artists, doctors, teachers, nurses, priests, nuns, monks, or non-profit and social justice workers. However, you may struggle in fields that stifle creativity or exploit others, such as office work or customer support in for-profit corporations, or anything in the animal agriculture, tobacco, or pharmaceutical industries.
