You hipster. If you were born on March 11, you are hip to what's happening, abreast of the times. Regardless of your politics, you are progressive in thought. Ruled by the number 2 and the moon, you have a strong intuition and runaway imagination.

Your career depends on it. You see the working world as a super competitive place where only the quick and the shrewd survive. You are not wildly ambitious, however, but choose your path carefully. You may work hard to set yourself up for a promotion, but you won't campaign for the job. In private, you allow yourself a more relaxed approach, weighing new ideas with your imagination or through conversations with friends and family. In both areas of your life, your intuition works well.

Let 'em roll. If you are self-employed, you have a gift for seeing hidden opportunity and going for it. You will not hesitate to put a pile of resources or cash behind your intuition. You'd make a good investor or gambler, because you aren't afraid to put your money behind the right risks. You also have an eye for quality and are quick to learn what makes an item valuable.

Set them free. You like to claim things and not let go. It's a control thing; a desire to control your territory, your family, your life. This can be a real problem if you are a parent, since kids may need a bit of freedom.

Some advice: Don't be afraid to let things go. Nothing is ever lost in the grand scheme of things. Try to deepen your thoughts and explore your spiritual side.
