Born early in March

A person born during the first part of March normally has the Sun in Pisces. Pisces is a mutable water sign traditionally ruled by Jupiter / Neptune.

Born late in March

A person born during the later part of March normally has the Sun in Aries. Aries is a cardinal fire sign traditionally ruled by Mars.

What the month cannot tell you

A birth month can narrow down the tropical Sun sign, but it cannot identify the Moon sign, rising sign, houses or exact planetary positions. Those require a chart calculated for a specific time and place.
