In numerology the day gives birthday number 9. The Life Path also uses the birth year. Aries is cardinal and fire. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Sun sign | Aries in every year from 1930 to 2030 | | Decan | Aries decan 1 (Mars) | | Sun's position at noon UTC | About 6° Aries | | Aries · element · modality · ruler | Fire · Cardinal · Mars | | Birthday number | 27 → 9 | | Life Path by birth year | 1960: 1 · 1970: 2 · 1980: 3 · 1990: 4 · 2000: 5 · 2010: 6 · 2020: 7 | | Chinese zodiac | After Lunar New Year, so the animal is the birth year's own | | Born on this day | Wilhelm Röntgen (1845), Mariah Carey (1969), Quentin Tarantino (1963) | ## March 27 zodiac sign and personality Warrior energy with a cause: March 27 reduces to 9, the number most linked with idealism and service, and places the Sun around six degrees into Aries. With Mars ruling both sign and decan, the tradition sees someone who fights on behalf of others, quick to defend the underdog and openly impatient with injustice. On March 27 the Sun usually sits at about 6° Aries, in the first decan, where Mars rules the decan as well as the sign. The opening stretch of Aries, from 0 to 9 degrees, is often called the purest expression of the sign, because Mars governs Aries and also acts as sub-ruler here. Astrologers traditionally picture this decan as the spark at the very start of the zodiac: quick to move, frank in speech and happiest with something to push against. The doubled Mars emphasis tends to sharpen courage and an appetite for challenge, and it can also shorten patience with slow processes. Many of these Rams recognise the urge to start before the plan is finished. Their growing edge is usually learning that a pause is not the same as a defeat. ## March 27 in numerology Born on the 27th, you carry the compound 2 + 7 = 9. The 2 adds sensitivity, the 7 adds depth and reflection, and the 9 that results is compassionate and wide-ranging. People born on this day are often described as wise beyond their years, drawn to teaching, counselling or creative work that helps others make sense of things. Their emotional insight can be striking. Taken as a secondary number, the 27 is traditionally associated with leadership through understanding rather than force. Accepting differing views with patience tends to strengthen their influence over time. The Life Path, the main number in a numerology chart, also uses the birth year, so it changes from one March 27 birthday to the next: it is 1 for 1960, 2 for 1970, 3 for 1980 and 4 for 1990, for example. ## Born on March 27: season, famous birthdays and Chinese zodiac A March birthday falls around the spring equinox for the northern hemisphere, the season of thaw and first growth, while southern birthdays mark the turn into autumn. The month is split between Pisces and Aries, with the change around March 20 or 21. In numerology March is month 3, linked with expression, creativity and sociability, a lively number for a month that ends with the zodiac starting over. March 27 is the 86th day of the year (87th in a leap year). By April 20, 24 days later, the Sun has usually moved on into Taurus. For the Chinese zodiac, Lunar New Year has always passed by March 27, so the animal is simply the one for the birth year. Well-known people born on March 27 include Wilhelm Röntgen (1845), Mariah Carey (1969) and Quentin Tarantino (1963). ## Frequently asked questions ### What zodiac sign is March 27?
