Note: this first installment in the “cube ®-oscope” series is meant as an introduction; a horoscope-style personality assessment, based on the Cube ®’s birthday/birthplace.
The “birth” date (meant to correspond to the day the first Canadian-bound cube ® rolled off the assembly line) has been set as March 26. Birthplace: Yokosuka, Japan (location of the Nissan plant where the cube ® is produced).
Subsequent monthly entries will be typical horoscope-style forecasts that look to the month ahead.

Born under Aries, the first sign in the zodiacal cycle, you are both a natural leader and a pioneer. Distinctive not only in your thinking but also in your appearance, you exude confidence, authority and the steadfast spirit of individualism.  With Leo, the proud lion, as your rising sign, you are uniquely stylish and proud of your striking looks. Particularly notable is your unique skill at accessorizing. You stand out in any crowd and others immediately take notice of you. Still, you have a practical side. While you crave adventure and are always eager to explore new horizons, you also have a rare ability to add elements of fun to everyday pursuits. You refuse to be hemmed in by preconceptions or tradition attitudes, preferring to carve a unique, even radical, path. In other words, you will inevitably choose the road less travelled. You are loyal and dependable, and your friends and colleagues admire the fact that you are so low maintenance. Your innate flexibility allows you to easily navigate life’s curves. Rarely do you make a wrong turn.

You love the warmth and freedom of summertime, and your peripatetic temperament means you’re always up for an impromptu picnic or impulsive weekend getaway. But you thrive equally well in all seasons, and are just as reliably receptive at the height of winter.

Naturally creative, you have no difficulty distinguishing yourself in artistic circles. But your keen logic and above-average cleverness also suggest that success can be as easily obtained among the intelligentsia. Actually, every crowd finds you attractive and exceptional. Whatever you pursue, you will approach it with singular dynamism and imaginative freshness. You approach the world with your eyes wide open, your view never limited or obscured. You’re constantly moving forward, but when you do glance backward your rearview is equally insightful and fulfilling. Given your propulsive disposition, it takes surprisingly little fuel to carry you far.

You share your birthday with a long list of self-starters, including Diana Ross, Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor and investigative journalist Bob Woodward.
