March 8 falls in the second decan of Pisces (about February 29 – March 9), which the traditional Chaldean system assigns to Jupiter. Astrologers say that adds optimism, generosity and big-picture thinking.
Jupiter widens the sign's horizons, adding faith in the future, a generous streak and an appetite for growth, travel and learning.

What zodiac sign is March 8?
March 8 falls in Pisces, which runs from February 19 to March 20 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is March 8 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. March 8 is day 19 of Pisces season, so it is normally read as a clear Pisces birthday.
Which decan is March 8?
March 8 is in the second decan of Pisces (February 29 – March 9). In the traditional Chaldean system this decan is ruled by Jupiter, which astrologers say adds its own flavour to Pisces. Some modern astrologers assign decan rulers by element instead, which gives different planets, and decans are strictly 10° slices of the zodiac, so the date range is approximate.
What are the birthstone and flower for March?
The modern birthstone for March is Aquamarine and the birth flower is the daffodil. These come from calendar tradition rather than astrology, and the lists vary by country and source.
