c: thanks, firstly. <3
Well, the TaurusxPisces relationship is one I’m, personally, kind of ambivalent with. Apparently TaurusxPisces have great marriage rates. And usually Taurus are really great at grounding a Pisces. And I think this is a couple that works well in theory? But maybe sometimes is a bit odd when … actually applied…
In your case, I’m even more hesitant. Your a Pisces-Aries cusp, giving you that stubborn edge that Aries has. And Taurus is already pretty darn stubborn, too. Thus, the potential for arguments. I mean, I personally have the mind to believe that when people are in relationships they change a little? If you think there’s a chance, go for it. Don’t let astrology dictate your love life. c:
I cheated and used a compatibility index:
63% Your relationship is smooth, and everything is possible. You simply need to adjust to each other and you can easily do so. It only takes a minimum of warmth and mutual understanding for your couple to function steadily in spite of some rare disagreements. You must turn your marvelous relationship into a success love story because you have all the necessary keys and assets to this end. So, go for it!
Feeling lost for you, in your case, I’m willing to bet has something to do with your age. You’re seventeen now that your birthday has past, right? Goodness, given your age I’d be a bit worried if you didn’t feel lost. I don’t know where you live of course, but I’m willing to bet your in an area where you’ll soon be leaving a high school of some kind, going off to college? Parents/Guardians are expecting you to make something of yourself? But, you’re only seventeen— how on earth are you supposed to make life decisions right now? That would certainly cause anyone to feel lost.
However, just saying you feel kind of “lost” is a bit too vague. :c Lost… socially? Do you feel distant from everyone? Do you feel as though you’ve lost yourself? Perhaps you don’t even quite know what “type” of lost you are. And maybe that’s the first step for you? To identify, more-specifically, in what manner you feel lost. Unless you feel you already know? In which case, you’re welcome to message me again. c:
MARCH TWELFTH
Strengths: Daring. Intense. Visionary.
Weaknesses: Reckless. Unstable. Foolhardy.
Tarot Card: The Hanged Man
Personality
The courageous, determined individuals born on this day are tough enough to withstand the setbacks and disappointments of life and later make use of their seasoned experience. Struggle is no stranger to March 12 people, who seem to thrive on overcoming obstacles of all kinds. They are somehow able to take whatever natural abilities they have been given and drive them to the limit. Not infrequently they have a strong vision or concept of what kind of person they wish to be.
However, it is important that March 12 people keep themselves directed, for they tend to be multi-talented, and as such are vulnerable to scattering their energies. Those born on this day who find themselves carried away, first to this interest and then that, would do well to at least limit themselves to related fields within one industry or profession.
Most March 12 people are undaunted by risky ventures, and even leap into situations which most people avoid at all costs. Perhaps they believe that the greatest rewards are granted to those who have the faith to lay everything on the line. However, there is also no denying that danger in and of itself attracts them, as does controversy. They secretly enjoy being the subject of conversation, though they may deny it. Often March 12 people give the impression of wanting nothing better than to be left alone in their secretive, private world—that is, until they suddenly reveal themselves and what they are doing, and even flaunt it!
March 12 people usually believe in what lies beyond the here and now—in other worlds, other planes of existence, other realities. Yet the image they present is quite hard-headed and down-to-earth. They have a way of combining the physical and the metaphysical, reveling in the former but being intelligent enough to ultimately put it in service of the latter. Somewhere in the back of their minds they know that all of life is transitory. Whether they are religious or have strong spiritual leanings or not, they recognize that there are timeless principles and forms which stand behind this passing show. Hence, the more intellectual of March 12 people demonstrate a remarkable capacity to think on an abstract level.
Certain enthusiastic March 12 people must be careful of getting carried away by their faith in unearthly happenings. Until they have developed a deep understanding of metaphysical and esoteric principles, they will tend to undermine their emotional stability if they overindulge in such thoughts. A simultaneous development of worldly and spiritual goals usually suits them better, enhancing their daily life and promoting the stability needed for metaphysical ruminations. Balance is the key to reducing the dangers associated with such leaps of thought and action.
Meditation
Caution should not be mistaken for cowardice
I know a few of you have sent me asks for advice, I want to make sure you know I’m not ignoring you. c: I’m just having some problems of my own, okay? And it’s a little difficult trying to respond to you guys when my mind’s all cluttered up. I promise I’ll reply when I feel better. <3
* also, I hope to get around to making those “pisces traits” picture posts some time soon. Bah, school & life, always in the way of things!
Every sign has a chance, c: I promise. Sun sign compatibility are like loose guidelines. If it makes you feel any better, my mother and father are an Aries&Taurus, which by rule of thumb are horrendous. But they have the strongest bond out of every married couple in my family! Plus, it’s not just about your sun sign when it comes to love in astrology. c: You have to consider your moon sign, venus sign, and even your ascendant. If you like the guy, and he likes you, go for it sweetie. <3
Well, after re-reading the February 23 birthday profile [/because your message doesn’t give me entirely too much to work off of, unfortunately], it seems like people born on your birthdate like to have a more-or-less realistic view of things? To me, this translates to a… balance between “feet on the ground” and “head in the clouds.” You know the saying, right? I think Pisces would feel suffocated if their head weren’t in the clouds at least a little— but perhaps you like to make sure your feet are still on the ground, too! Er, what I’m trying to get at here, is perhaps you feel as though you’ve lost your footing. It’s my understanding of Pisces, that many of us don’t care /too/ much when we don’t have a firm understanding of our feelings. But this upsets you, clearly. “They’re all over the place.” Which to me makes me wonder if that balance between “head in the clouds” and “feet on the ground” has been thrown off because of this guy. Am I on target so far?
IF this is true… maybe instead of focusing on the “what” of your feelings, you ought to simply be focusing on grounding yourself again. I suspect that maybe if you can find a way to get your “feet back on the ground,” you’ll feel a whole lot less anxious. And, typically? If your mind is less tainted by feelings of anxiety, worry, struggle, etc. you’ll more-easily be able to identify what you’re feeling.
How do you ground yourself, you might be wondering? Well, speaking from experience: I meditate, walk around barefoot in the grass— I just relax. Unwind. I let nature try and find a place in my body. Pisces symbolizes the human body ascending into the cosmos. It’s very easy for us to feel like a part of something greater, so it’s good for Pisces to ground themselves.
I hope if you can manage to ground yourself, it will indeed become easier to identify your feelings— because I can’t do that for you (nor can anyone else). Talk it over with yourself; out loud might even be more productive. Good luck. I wish you well. c:
[/I’m making this public because I think many people can identify with this. If you wish for me to take it down, I will do so and copy/paste my answer and send it to you. Just message me and I’ll do so.]
MARCH ELEVENTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Tasteful. Charming.
Weaknesses: Possessive. Claiming. Domineering.
Tarot Card: Justice
Personality
Those born on March 11 keep abreast of the times. Whether liberal or conservative in outlook, they are progressive in thought. That is, they know that to be out of touch with or unaware of what is going on socially around them is perhaps to say goodbye to one’s career. They see the world as a highly competitive place where only the quick and clever survive. In their private lives, however, they allow themselves to express the dreamier, more relaxed side of their nature, chewing over ideas and speculation through conversation with friends or family and perhaps developing imaginative projects. In both areas of their life, however, the unifying talent which they employ is their intuition, which for the most part serves them well.
March 11 people believe that if they stand still in the world they are going backwards, since others will simply leave them behind. They are nonetheless moderately, rather than fiercely ambitious, moving ahead with assurance and clarity of vision. Should they work a regular job, they will put themselves in a position in which they can be promoted, but may not actively push or politic for it. Their idea is that by making valuable contributions they will be noticed and advanced at the right time. Whether this is a correct assumption or not may depend on the fairness of their work environment and the culture in which they live.
If they are self-employed or own their own business, they have a decided talent for seeing a hidden opportunity and going for it. Once they have assessed such an opportunity they will not hesitate to put a sizeable part of their material resources in the service of their intuitions. Thus they make good investors and gamblers, since they are courageous enough to take educated risks but wise enough to avoid foolish endeavors.
Another trait which serves them well is their taste. They not only have an instinctive feeling for what is good and worthwhile, but also are quick to learn about what makes objects or ideas valuable. Some March 11 people can even select items which appear phony or cheap but later prove to have great worth.
March 11 people have a claiming and controlling aspect to their personality. They don’t part with what they have very easily, and that goes for people as well as for things. As family members they invariably find themselves in the center of what is going on, where they can exercise powerful decisions affecting the lives of both their parents and children. They must avoid arousing antagonism and rebelliousness in the latter who may wish to have a greater degree of freedom or independence.
In many areas, March 11 people could learn to let go a bit more, to relax their control over their environment. More highly evolved individuals born on this day will learn to trust the Universe and to realize that in essence nothing is really lost, thus freeing themselves by renouncing a claiming attitude. Ultimately their intuition will lead them to value their own freedom more than either possessions or personal control.
Meditation
Imagine having to carry everything you own
Of course. c:
I’d love to advise you, anon. However, simply going off of “March 4th, 1954” is a bit of a shot in the dark! If you could perhaps highlight issues you struggle with, I’d be more than happy to elaborate. (Privately, if you wish— in which case, you’d have to come off of anon) I ask you to specify what you need advice on, only because I can think of so much that could potentially need advising. To make sure you understand exactly what I mean by highlighting the issues you struggle with…
• Do you feel too distant and alone from the rest of the world?
• Are you an altruistic individual who feels you give way more than other people you know— and in turn, feel as though you care about your friends/family more than they care about you?
• Do you feel so innately/naturally alone, that you allow people to walk over you and/or use you because of the fear if you don’t let them use you, you’ll just be alone?
etc. But, I’m always here for people who need it. Promise. <3
MARCH TENTH
Strengths: Sensitive. Empathic. Soulful.
Weaknesses: Long-suffering. Withdrawn.
Tarot Card: The Wheel Of Fortune
Personality
Those born on March 10 are deep, emotional individuals. Their drive for success is often rather low-key and they may be more concerned with understanding themselves and coming to grips with their complex personalities than they are with fortune, power or fame. This does not mean to say that March 10 people are overly self-involved or somehow self-indulgent. On the contrary, they love to have fun, particularly in an intimate social setting with close friends, and are most happy when they occupy a central position in their families, surrounded by nurturing and protective influences.
The sensitivity of March 10 people is pronounced. They are easily hurt, feel rejection keenly and want little more than to live in peace with their fellow human beings. However, those born on this day who have experienced traumatic childhood episodes, deep psychological wounds inflicted by a hurtful parent or overly rigid moral systems placed on them early in life, can retreat from the world into a private, inaccessible emotional space and stay there.
Because March 10 people are so sensitive, they experience the highs and lows of life as few others do, and therefore are more likely to turn inward and search their souls, to try to understand themselves. Through this inner development they cultivate empathy to the pain and suffering of the misfortunate, and for this reason, many born on this day opt for a service-oriented career. The more highly evolved of March 10 people show great sympathy and kindness for others, even to the point of being self-effacing and saintlike. As parents March 10 people tend to be nurturing and understanding, but must beware of a tendency to be overprotective and subtly manipulative.
Generally, March 10 people put personal considerations before anything else. Also since they are so highly developed in the emotional realm, they may not develop their willpower and mental toughness as fully as they might. Consequently they can drift or stagnate, not having the strong desire or ability to better their circumstances. For the less talented or gifted of March 10 people, qualities of acceptance and passivity may not be so desirable.
In putting emphasis on internal rather than external values, March 10 people are oriented toward an idealistic, non-materialistic value system. Yet they nonetheless display a great need for security and a marked desire for simple comforts, which becomes more evident with advancing age. The danger here is that they will stagnate and fail to carry their personal development any further. It is true that their exploration of inner emotional worlds (theirs and others’), deepens their sensitivity and makes them more soulful, but they must not use this activity as an escape from expressing themselves outwardly or making crucial decisions.

MARCH NINTH
Strengths: Intuitive. Visionary. Conceptual.
Weaknesses: Self-Sacrificing. Detached. Overstressed.
Tarot Card: The Hermit
Personality
Those highly conceptual, visionary individuals born on March 9 are concerned with examining and exploring the space around them, either mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Curious about most everything, they are not satisfied until they get to the root of any issue or problem. They have a pronounced dislike for all forms of affectation, authoritarianism and condescension in others, and endeavor to remain natural in their approach to life. Because of their high idealism, they are generally on the side of the underdog and tend to be protectors of the poor and weak. They themselves, however, are powerful individuals with a highly developed personal magnetism. Their psychic abilities are also strong and they should therefore trust in their intuition, which is most often sound.
Highly developed March 9 people rely heavily on their instincts. Although no one would deny their mental strength, in many cases they choose to go against the odds, logic and what appears true, in favor of what their sixth sense tells them (particularly when it comes to relationships and crucial life decisions). Though sometimes accused of living in another world, in fact those born on this day understand a great deal about how the daily world works, but are also able to see through a given situation to its essence and potentialities. Whether labeled as spacy or flaky or not, many March 9 people have a more elevated or detached point of view than the average person. Thus they make valuable advisors, since they so often present a viewpoint that the person seeking counsel has not yet considered.
March 9 people often experience a conflict between their stable, nurturing side and their desire to be free, to travel, to let their minds roam over dreams and ideas. If they lock themselves into a position of heavy personal responsibility (family, job, social position), they may find themselves frustrated a good deal of the time. Part of the problem is that since they are highly capable, others easily grow dependent on them. They must be careful to leave certain doors open for themselves through which they can periodically escape and express the adventuresome, far-out elements of their personalities.
March 9 people usually go through many major changes in their lives. Moving from one job, place or relationship to another is very natural to them, since they enjoy variety and are wary of attachment. People born on this day who have not gotten to know themselves at a deep level, who know they are unusual but have never really expressed their true self, are often surprised to discover one day how truly powerful they can be. Once they begin to realize and exercise this power, those born on this day will experience and enjoy a whole new dimension in their lives but perhaps also face many new difficulties. Indeed, they may feel the urge to drop their more mundane duties, reject a former life of compromise and reach for the stars.
Meditation

MARCH EIGHTH
Strengths: Individual. Magnetic. Intuitive.
Weaknesses: Isolated. Emotionally Difficult. Upsetting.
Tarot Card: Strength
Personality
Those often misunderstood individuals born on March 8 must do things their own way. Whether in their outlook, lifestyle, manner of expression or personal appearance, they are at heart nonconformists who often find themselves at odds with the status quo. Although they may be lovers of tradition, and perhaps express reverence for cultures past, March 8 people need to break away, sometimes violently, sometimes sorrowfully, from their backgrounds in order to become individuals in their own right.
Because of their critical, emotionally difficult natures, making this break themselves is often not necessary, as they may well be rejected first. But however it comes to pass, by the time they are in their late teens or early twenties they have sufficiently realized that their life is likely to be stormy and their path perhaps lonely.
March 8 people have a zest for life. Yet try as they may their lifestyle or ideas rarely find sympathy with the majority of people around them. This is in part due to their intensity, and also because their point of view is so often uncompromising, highly individualistic and perhaps challenging to societal values. Iconoclasts, those born on this day have a strong rebellious and aggressive side that does not necessarily win them friends, and an instability that may not earn trust. Yet they can be tremendously loyal friends. Those who are granted the highly personal distinction of being a March 8 person’s friend will find that an equally high degree of loyalty is demanded in return.
March 8 people are supreme roleplayers. Should they choose to do so, they can work quietly at the same job for many years, keeping a low profile. Equally well they can even function as pillars of society and upholders of the status quo. Behind the scenes, however, they will nonetheless work for change and progress, and though they may assume a highly conventional position, perhaps out of a desire for financial or political security, they usually find a way to express the extravagant side of their nature in their personal life.
Great magnetic attraction is often granted to those born on March 8. They are capable of exerting an almost hypnotic power over select individuals which is as much due to their mental strength as to their charm and intuition. As young people, their energy is often volatile and uncontrolled but as they mature they make an impact through a highly subtle, mesmerizing dynamism. Although they are not fully aware or capable of exercising these powers when young, psychic abilities often devolve on those born on this day, and may be discovered and better directed later in life. Tremendously appreciative of greatness in all fields, March 8 people are apt to express wonder and even worship when grace, power and beauty are displayed.
Meditation

MARCH SEVENTH
Strengths: Conceptual. Sensitive. Giving.
Weaknesses: Diffuse. Withdrawn. Lonely.
Tarot Card: The Chariot
Personality
Those complex individuals born on March 7 often live in a highly abstract world. Giving structure to this world is the great challenge which they take on in life. Those born on this day who are able to find a concrete form of expression for their thoughts can meet with great success.
Although their minds generally remain free to roam over very far out and abstract issues, career-oriented March 7 people usually manifest their ideas in highly practical ways, hopefully involving the popular support and participation of those around them. But whether they are involved in down-to-earth activities or not, they can give the impression of living on another plane of existence. Not surprisingly, those born on this day usually lead highly private lives away from their work.
In fact, the often lonely world of March 7 people is not an easy one to penetrate. Those who wish to be friends with them will find that it is necessary to be exceptionally patient and understanding and above all not too demanding. It is not that March 7 people find it difficult to give, far to the contrary for they can be very generous, but rather that they do not react well to direct pressure being applied to them. Usually their reaction is to withdraw, both emotionally and physically.
When they are attacked or criticized, March 7 people only defend themselves to a degree (if at all) before pulling back into their own safe space. They learn very quickly who they can and cannot trust to be understanding and accepting of them. Somewhat secretive, however, they may be less than forthcoming as to what they expect from loved ones.
For those whom they feel are deserving, March 7 people can be extremely giving of both their time and financial resources. Those born on this day are highly sympathetic to the needs of others on a basic human level and thus justice and equality can be preoccupations of theirs. Though bound up with the concerns of their society, however, they are not the most social of creatures. They may find one or two good friends more than enough for them.
Some of the problems that March 7 people encounter include inconstant energy, lack of a rich social life, fears and instabilities, and a feeling of uncertainty about what it is that they are meant to do with their lives. Once they are able, however, to direct their diffuse energies in one meaningful line of endeavor they can go very far, both to the heights and the depths. Using their work as a wedge, they may even find themselves making impressive inroads socially.
March 7 people need to remain in touch with the thoughts and feelings of their family, social circle and society at large. In bringing their sense of care and attentiveness to bear not only on their work but on their personal concerns as well, they can build quite an impressive sort of life for themselves. They may or may not ever find the right person with whom to share their life, but they can certainly build firm friendships which serve as outlets for their great need to share affection.

MARCH SIXTH
Strengths: Aesthetic. Attentive. Devoted.
Weaknesses: Complacent. Oversensuous. Adrift.
Tarot Card: The Lovers
Personality
An irresistible attraction to beauty is central to the lives of March 6 people—less often an aggressively forceful or passionate attraction, but rather a subtly magnetic one. March 6 people find themselves drawn toward certain people, situations, environments, music, drama and art that please their senses. They themselves often have attractive powers of their own which they may not fully realize. Easygoing March 6 people need to spend time getting to understand this power and how it can work for them if they wish to be more successful in their careers and progress in their personal development.
March 6 people may be going along peacefully in a certain direction when something or someone catches their eye, and though they may view this thing of beauty but for a brief instant, they cannot get the image out of their mind. Irresistibly they are drawn to it and before they know it they are caught. Perhaps this is due to their unconscious sensitivities or even psychic powers and the nature of romantic attraction and how it works.
March 6 people tend to project their own series of internalized and idealized pictures out on the world, or at least an unconscious set of strong expectations. Especially when viewing that which strikes them as beautiful, they often do not see what is really there, but rather what they wish to see. Perhaps what they see reinforces and complements their internal needs. Thus they may, like Narcissus, be actually falling in love with their own reflection.
Many March 6 people are highly aesthetic creatures, willing to devote their lives and if necessary sacrifice themselves to their ideals. They themselves are capable of inspiring great admiration, even adoration in others. Such attraction might be called irrational were it not for the fact that it often satisfies concrete, objective concerns and needs.
For March 6 people, all forms of sensuous experience—textures, sounds, colors, smells and tastes—combine in a kind of bouquet which buoys their spirits but sometimes overwhelms them. Some born on this day may well become slaves to their desires and attractions, but for many March 6 people the purely sensual does not satisfy their need to adore and appreciate beauty. They need to do far more—to idealize the object of their affections, and once having done so, to share their life with it, perhaps even merge with it.
Unfortunately, disenchantment and disentanglement are two possible painful results when an initial ecstatic period of involvement has faded. For those born on March 6, learning to be objective in handling their attractions and attractiveness is key to their maintaining control over their lives and fulfilling their potential as human beings.
Meditation
Falling in love too easily and too often may in fact be an expression of disaffection with oneself
I think I’m a bit unclear on what you’re asking? Um, firstly— yes, of course an Aries and Pisces could work? And, this Aquarius-Pisces cusp person / Pisces rising Cancer … ? Still a PiscesxPisces combo, so, of course the compatibility ought to be there?
MARCH FIFTH
Strengths: Expressive. Polishes. Incisive.
Weaknesses: Difficult. Temperamental. Suffering.
Tarot Card: The Hierophant
Personality
Those born on March 5 usually have two distinct sides to their personality. To the world they may appear debonair and charming, sophisticated, as well as kind and considerate, while inside they are grappling with their personal demons. Extremely secretive, they can be quite different people in private and are often prone to expressing dark feelings and emotions.
Productive and creative individuals born on this day are usually able to express both sides of their nature in their work without contradiction or fear of censure. Problems can arise for them in their personal lives which are often not only stormy but sometimes destructive as well. Deep individuals, March 5 people are in touch with the whole spectrum of human emotions which they themselves express at one time or another. They also have a way of bringing out both the best and the worst in others; through piercing insight, those born on this day can expose the weaknesses, deficiencies and insecurities of others with great impact. This is largely because March 5 mental and emotional sensitivities are equally developed.
Not surprisingly, those born on this day seem to live life more intensely than others. They also remain open to a wider variety of experiences than most people can handle. It is as if the colors on their palette are a little brighter, the highlights and shadows on their canvas more contrasted.
At times March 5 people can be logical and emotionally objective, at others passionate, perhaps irrational, overwhelming people with their intensity—and all this can happen in the short space of a few minutes or seconds! Others may wonder how one person can be so mutable, and adaptable to circumstances.
Because they often have a high turnover rate in interpersonal relationships, March 5 people can come to feel somewhat alone in the world. They may even begin to wonder if they will ever find the right person for them. Those that come to realize that it is their own difficult nature that is the source of their dissatisfaction stand a good chance of making needed changes. Such March 5 people can find great joy in simplifying their emotional life.
Keeping on a more even keel, and integrating the diverse aspects of their personality is a daunting but greatly rewarding task for March 5 people. It may be true that the friction generated by their internal struggle fires their creative engine. Therefore, some born on this day may fear that by becoming more regular or normal they will dull their cutting edge. Perhaps it is a question of what value they place on happiness.
Developing a highly attuned awareness of their effect on others is essential for March 5 people. Cultivating the more unselfish side of their ego and perhaps submitting to some higher spiritual power, focusing on simple acts of kindness in everyday life, makes life easier for themselves and those around them.
Meditation

MARCH FOURTH
Strengths: Self-Contained. Intimate. Autonomous.
Weaknesses: Fearful. Shy. Self-Involved.
Tarot Card: The Emperor
Personality
Those born on March 4 are able to live and work in isolation without having too much contact with the outside world. Although many born on this day do not consciously choose isolation, nevertheless it often proves to be an important recurring theme in their lives, so that again and again they find themselves either physically, emotionally or spiritually cut off from their fellow human beings or environment.
However, to most born on this day being alone is not a lonely experience, but rather a chance to be productive. Even when invited to go out and have a terrific time, they may choose to stay home—not out of fear or negativity but simply because they believe they will enjoy it more. Highly evolved or creative individuals born on this day see their relative isolation as essential to doing their best work. Their powers of concentration are usually excellent, and as they are comfortable with themselves face few distractions or anxieties when alone.
Socially, those born on this day generally prefer the company of a few close friends rather than a large number of lighter acquaintances. Intimacy has a very special meaning for March 4 people and they tend to seek it out both in their relationships and surroundings. Those born on this day are generally happy in modest, secure spaces where they are surrounded by the objects they love most. When in larger places or pressed by crowds they may begin to feel a bit insecure. However, when they take part in social occasions at which they feel at ease, they are able to carry the same feeling of special intimacy with them and to share it with others.
Setting up and running any sort of home or office comes naturally to these cosy people. They have a good feeling for what is comfortable in a simple, elegant way. Perhaps this is because their material needs tend to be modest and they are not particularly impressed by luxury.
March 4 people find great satisfaction in sharing the results of their work with others whom they may not even know. Hearing about someone who liked what they did can mean more to them than meeting the admirer face to face, which could well embarrass them. The shyness of March 4 people is a very endearing quality, but those born on this day must also learn to be aggressive when necessary and to stand up for what they want. They may find that what they have learned on their own stands them in good stead when it is time to be more assertive.
Meditation
Some people who are silent have nothing to say
MARCH THIRD
Strengths: Directed. Conceptual. Well-Prepared.
Weaknesses: Biased. Compulsive. Self-Unaware.
Tarot Card: The Empress
Personality
Those born on March 3 usually have a pretty clear picture in their minds of what they wish to accomplish. Although highly imaginative, they have a firm pragmatic side that enables them to put their ideas into practice. Unlike those who seek acclaim or reward before finding a way to be useful, they recognize first a substantive need, and then apply whatever talents they have to provide for that need. Not only able to see the big picture, those born on this day are capable of focusing on details as well. It doesn’t hurt that their visual skills are generally well developed.
March 3 people are usually socially involved in their work, and as mentioned, pragmatic. Yet they may feel a need to live highly private, even secretive, lives away from their career. Those born on this day can be prone to escapism, whether they lose themselves to an earthly world of sensation or a romantic world of the imagination. Nonetheless, successful March 3 people are able to neatly balance their public and private lives, not allowing either to dominate at the expense of the other.
Whether more social or reserved types, most March 3 people are taken up with plans and designs. The need to prepare carefully for eventualities is highly characteristic of those born on this day and they usually examine a problem minutely before acting. Indeed many March 3 people enjoy the planning more than the execution of an endeavor. But because they put so much energy into these formal constructions they run at least two dangers.
The first is getting bogged down in the planning phase and losing the motivation to act; the second is losing a sense of spontaneity and thus deadening the experience itself, and perhaps facing disappointment by having too many preconceptions about what is going to happen. Because it is difficult for many March 3 people to make up their minds about what course to pursue, they are often better off just making a decision and getting on with it, rather than endlessly weighing alternatives and not acting on them.
March 3 people often become overly absorbed in what they do. Though their activities give them great satisfaction, they may be avoiding the underlying reason why they lose themselves in this way. Perhaps some born on this day have an actual dislike of or discomfort with their own personality due to an overly critical parent or social pressures in their childhood. It is important that such March 3 people learn to like themselves more, not just for what they do, but for who they are. Gaining such a sense of wellness and security will also aid them greatly in their career, lending them the confidence needed to follow through on their plans and make a success of themselves.
Meditation

MARCH SECOND
Strengths: Loyal. Imaginative. Perseverant.
Weaknesses: Out-of-Touch. Inflexible. Obsessive.
Tarot Card: The High Priestess
Personality
The highly dependable individuals born on March 2 display an unusually strong sense of loyalty which can manifest in relation to their family, friends, nation or perhaps a higher cause. Those born on this day tend to hold the object of their passion in the greatest esteem, even to grant it adoration or worship. Rarely if ever will they forsake their commitments once they have given themselves fully.
But it is precisely their unswerving loyalty that can present problems for March 2 people. It can be pretty uncomfortable at times for others to be the object of such feelings; in fact, care, concern or devotion can both be a source of great security and inhibition to those involved with them. As parents, those born on this day may experience difficulties with sons or daughters who hold a contrary value system and wish to be free to go their own way. More highly developed March 2 people do not lock others into static roles, but allow for change in family, friends and those they admire. Their loyalty is not conditional or something to provide themselves with a sense of security, but remains constant through the evolution of people and entities.
Many March 2 individuals go through periods where they devote themselves exclusively to their work. Particularly if this work is of a creative nature, they may block out everything else. This not only isolates them from those uninvolved in their efforts, but can make them one-track personalities. March 2 people may overlook the fact that remaining open to varying experiences ultimately enriches their work.
March 2 people are often unable or unwilling to disentangle themselves from commitments when things begin going in a bad direction. Though in such “no win” situations, they may still find a way to turn this around, the sacrifice required can be great. On the other hand, should everything ultimately fall apart, those born on this day are likely to move on fresh, perhaps to a completely new area of endeavor. Win or lose they are secure in the knowledge that they have given their best.
One of the most important challenges for March 2 people is finding a balance between their need to develop more personal, individual goals on the one hand and their desire to give themselves to more universal causes on the other. Learning to deal with the here and now and to meet personal challenges is of the highest first priority for those born on this day, for only when their own house is in order will they be able to give their best to worldly or idealistic endeavors.
Meditation
God may not be so far away
Well, I have read in a lot of places that the “Piscean female likes to feel, and made to feel feminine” and though I feel it certainly applies to ME, I kind of take it with a grain of salt? Regardless, you’ve said you feel as though you’d like a “manly man” so I take it you do feel as though you are quite feminine? (I’m assuming here, correct me if I’m wrong!) Now, I do personally believe in a balance between masculinity and femininity within relationships in order for them to be long-lasting (but I don’t think it matters where it comes from, don’t get me wrong). HOWEVER, I do also wonder if with a “stereotypical” Pisces— that is to say, a highly emotional, intuitive, individual, that if perhaps some feminine* traits in both individuals are necessary? *by feminine here I mean astrologically speaking; intuitive, introverted, etc. Personally, though I feel I am quite feminine, I think if I was in a relationship with a “manly man” I’d, for lack of better terms, die. Hahaha. I’d worry that he wouldn’t be emotional enough to understand me! And a Pisces most certainly needs an emotional connection to thrive.
Now, again, I’m assuming things:
Assuming that’s you in your icon, you look quite young. Being young, it’s natural to want that “exciting, manly man.” You know? It seems so thrilling. But would a manly guy really be right for you? Maybe this pisces-pisces pair won’t work out in the end, but I think it’ll certainly be more rewarding than a “masculine-feminine” pair— again, astrologically speaking. c:
*masculine signs are: fire signs; aries, leo, sagittarius & air signs; gemini, libra, aquarius
* feminine signs are: earth signs; taurus, virgo, capricorn & water signs; cancer, scorpio, pisces
MARCH FIRST
Strengths: Artistic. Technical. Ambitious.
Weaknesses: Irresolute. Escapist.
Tarot Card: The Magician
Personality
Those born on March 1 have a natural feeling for artistic expression of many kinds and a great sensitivity to their environment. They are usually keen appreciators of beauty—in people, nature, art and daily life. However, those who take them to be overly fanciful or lightheaded will be surprised to find how practical they can be. But though March 1 people usually impose a logical structure that orders their work life, they generally let it all hang out in their private lives.
And whether they have it together in any daily situation is a matter of choice; if they wish, they can be quite relaxed and hence late for appointments or sloppy with their living space, but equally well they can be extremely concerned with being on time or doing neat work. Generally such a choice is made on the basis of how much importance they place on something, not merely on the whims of their mood. Thus it is less a lack of discipline as it is a relaxed attitude, a refusal to be compulsive.
March 1 people are usually very attentive to their personal appearance as well as their surroundings, whether artists or businesspeople, not only out of aesthetic considerations but also since they know it may be an important part of their drive for success. Those born on this day who have a business or political orientation know full well how to be charming, diplomatic, when to push and when not to. Their aesthetic sensibilities are reflected in the elegance with which they accomplish their career tasks. March 1 people in general feel that the way something is done is at least as important as what is being done. They can be very unforgiving to individuals who are impolite, ill-mannered, abrupt or unkind.
March 1 people like to keep it light, to laugh and enjoy time in an easy manner. They do not wish to live with problems—particularly personal problems. In their work, difficulties which arise are met head on and represent opportunities to evolve. But in their personal lives, few people go through the agonies March 1 people suffer when things are not going well. Rather than hang in there in what appears to be a losing battle, those born on this day often choose to leave before things become still worse. Unfortunately, however, they often carry the emotional hurt or confusions with them inside, unresolved.
March 1 people may have to learn to face their interpersonal problems and to work them out with the other person instead of becoming impatient or perhaps rejecting. Although highly expressive individuals, in such situations those born on this day could be closing themselves off to the promptings of their own heart.

MARCH 19-24
Zodiac Position: Approximately 27° Pisces-4° Aries
Central Concept: Rebirth
Seasons: Late Winter / Early Spring (equinox)
Elements: Water/Fire
Qualities: Mutable/Cardinal
Rulers: Neptune/Mars
Symbols: The Fish/The Ram
Modes: Feeling/Intuition
Those born on the Pisces-Aries cusp are unusually direct in their approach to life, and their outspokenness can make them alternately admired or misunderstood. They are elemental, basic individuals who cannot and will not be denied, no matter what their station in life. Pisces-Aries people rarely see anything wrong with their actions and generally refuse to change their attitude or lifestyle for anyone. Even the mildest of them seem to carry a sense of infallibility about their person. Though insistence they tend to get their way.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. Because the Pisces-Aries personality combines the watery Piscean traits of sensitivity and deep emotion with the fiery Aries traits of action and willfulness, people born on this cusp may prove puzzling to those unable to understand their curious admixture of passive and active characteristics. They can be at once dreamers and doers. However, as feeling-intuitive types, they often lack earthy stability and hard mental objectivity. For this reason, their lives tend to show a great deal of conflict and flux.
Those who do not get to know “Piscarians” better learn not to look for deeper reasons or ulterior motives behind their actions. Those born on this primal cusp resent being analyzed, feeling either rightly or wrongly that what they so openly present to the world is exactly what they are— no more, no less. All self-critical processes are painful for them, but their success in life will be directly proportional to their ability to remain objective about what they do and who they are.
Advice
Learning patience is your most important task. Develop social skills through working alongside others. Try to curb your impetuous side— weigh alternatives and consider consequences before speaking or acting. Get to know yourself better.

Element: Water

Mode: Feeling
Pisces III people are often endowed with unusual psychic and intuitive gifts. Yet they may in fact squander such talents if they have no way to ground them in the here and now. Balancing conflicting points of view, energies and daily activities are key to the effectiveness of Pisces III’s.
Some of the struggles which all of us undergo, but which stand out in bold relief in the Pisces III personality, are coming to terms with the relative and the absolute, objective and subjective, pragmatic and ideal. For example, many Pisces III’s know that everything is relative, but at the same time feel the intense need to believe in certain universal principles. Or although they know that there are unassailable truths that one must operate by in everyday life, they also recognize that much of what we encounter is colored by our subjective views and responses. Swinging back and forth between such points of view is typical of Pisces III’s, but so also is their intense desire to integrate seeming contradictions.
The unreality factor of this week can be very high, particularly among those Pisces III’s who have not invested much time or energy in developing practical skills. This kind of Pisces III wishes to fly before learning to walk. It is true, however, that many born in this period exhibit paranormal abilities from an early age that go against generally accepted notions of space, time, and causality. But whether they display such unusual abilities or not, those born in Pisces III do seem to be in touch with special human and universal conditions which are sensed by very few. Therefore, it is likely that at some point they will forsake worldly ambitions to follow what they perceive as greater challenges and higher callings.
Advice
Be more demanding of yourself in your personal development, and contribute actively to the life around you. Beware of neglecting to build a firm foundation. There is a limit to what you are capable of overcoming— make life easier for yourself, and be willing to compromise when necessary.

Pisces II people are often individuals who wind up spending long periods of time alone. Of course, like anyone else, they fulfill their daily family and work responsibilities but even while functioning effectively, they can be in their own world. Generally not overly social, Pisces II’s have a circle of loyal and loving friends who provide them with all the social interaction they need. Many Pisces II’s choose to work as self-employed persons out of their own home or private office, and when operating within a work team do best when they have their own space (where they can close the door against instructions).
Those born in this period have a very great gift to give to those few people they allow into their space— intimacy. Few in the whole year have the talent to so meaningfully share themselves and their often unusual interior life. Those blessed with a Pisces II friend know the joys of interacting with such a sensitive and often quietly passionate individuals.
Pisces II’s do not have it easy in the world. Often singled out or even persecuted for their sensitivity and idiosyncrasies, they may well begin a retreat from society in their teens or early adulthood. Other more “normal” Pisces II’s gravitate toward increasing privacy not because they dislike or are traumatized by the outside world but rather but rather because they find the state of being alone more rewarding and productive. Many such individuals are very distracted and upset by the endless noise and static of everyday existence.
Because those born in this week are generally open, accepting, sensitive individuals, their receptivity is high. Consequently, more than most, they can be prone to accidents and disease, as well as positive experiences of learning and sensuous stimulation. It seems Pisces II’s are fated to live in the peaks and valleys of life. Fortunately, those born in this period tend to be extremely resilient and thus recover from setbacks which others might not survive at all.
Advice
Try to remain realistic in your outlook. Resist the lure of escapes, in all their varied forms. On the other hand, leave a window open on the world. Continue to strive for trust and acceptance, but remember to stand up for yourself as well. Improving your social position may make certain things easier for you. Your suffering may neither be unique or, for that matter, necessary.

FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 2
Zodiac Position: Approximately 3°-12° Pisces
Central Image: Spirit
Season: Late Winter
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Most Pisces I people believe in the supremacy of spirit over matter, and therefore often devote themselves to idealistic causes or pursuits. Some born in this period go so far as to exhibit what amounts to a disregard for the material world, particularly when it comes to their work.
Indeed, many Pisces I’s have a yearning and zest for the non-material side of life— the life of ideas, music, art and movement. Their belief systems may be religious in nature, or they may be pantheists, who see God (or gods) everywhere even if they do not submit to the authority of a church, temple, or mosque. Also their sense of devotion can be directed toward their work, family, or hobby, which may in fact be less of a hobby and more of an all-involving pursuit. Rarely does one find an unbridled egotist in this period, since even those Pisces I’s who devote themselves to their own career or self-development also do so with an air of serving a higher cause.
Yet Pisces I’s can also be aloof, and at times preoccupied with their own self-importance or the importance of their projects, which sometimes means neglecting family and friends. Also an air of infallibility often accompanies them, so that others may find them frustrated or even infuriated with the better-than-thou or know-it-all attitude of the Pisces I individual.
Many Pisces I’s have a surprisingly realistic view of life, in all its many aspects. Their interests roam over the entire range of human knowledge— from the practical concerns of daily life to the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Pisces I’s in fact may not regard spirituality as some far-off dream state, but a more enlightened or conscious way of dealing with the here and now.
Advice
Sometimes you need to be more aggressive. Keep in touch with everyday matters and remain attentive to your needs and the needs of others. Beware of alienation through placing yourself on a higher plane. Seeking a higher state of consciousness need not mean avoiding shouldering the work of life.

FEBRUARY 16 - 22
Zodiac Position: Approximately 26° Aquarius-4°Pisces
Central Concept: Sensitivity
Season: Late Winter
Elements: Air/Water
Qualities: Fixed/Mutable
Rulers: Uranus/Neptune
Symbols: The Water Bearer/The Fish
Modes: Thought/Feeling
The sensitive souls born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp direct most of their energy within two spheres: the personal and the universal, often bypassing the worldly sphere in the process. Indeed, the “Aquisces” may be seen as an explorer who has courage enough to dig deep within him/herself but also years to soar off into the beyond. Perhaps the ultimate synthesis for such an individual is to recognize the extremes of internal and external, subjective and objective, personal and universal, as simply two sides of the same coin. Also, because the middle ground (symbolically speaking, the functioning ego and its social expression) is the most difficult for those born on this cusp to tread, they may have to focus more of their energy on managing the business of life.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. In the case of this particular cusp, the dynamic, universal nature of Aquarius is either tempered or challenged by the highly subjective, personal nature of Pisces. More successful people born on this cusp are able to integrate these two sides of their character, neither losing themselves to unrealistic dreams nor submerging themselves in the depths of their own concerns.
“Aquices” have a hunger for experience. For many, impressions from the outside world are like food or fuel which powers their creative motor. But as they are sensitive to the extreme, it is difficult for them to remain objective in their contacts with the world. This is part of the reason why their attempts to create balance in their daily life are highly problematical.
Advice
Don’t give up on the world or retreat behind fences. If necessary, tear obstructions down to rediscover your sensitive self. Learning to trust may mean ceasing to fear. Without denying your need to explore the depths and the heights, take the middle road more often.

February 19/20 - March 20
Element: Water
Quality: Mutable
Ruler: Neptune
Symbol: The Fish
Mode: Feeling
Motto: I Believe
COLORS: Mauve. Purple. Aquamarine.
PLANTS: Mosses. Ferns. Seaweeds.
ATTRACTIONS TO: Aquarius. Scorpio. Cancer.
Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, and can be viewed as the most highly evolved of all the signs. It is not only the ultimate water sign (following Cancer and Scorpio), but is also ruled by the watery planet, Neptune. With Jupiter as its co-ruler it shares both expansive and mutable characteristics with Sagittarius. Pisces symbolizes the merging of the human soul with the Cosmos, a necessary step before the next incarnation may begin anew in Aries. Pisces symbolize a deep belief in the highest powers of the Universe.
The two Pisces Fish swim freely in the cosmic ocean. They represent the highest lessons of fellowship, but also the capacity to see deeply into the life and nature of things. The Fish can submerge themselves in the depths and partake of hidden and ultimate mysteries. Pisces teaches us not to be afraid and to let go of our earthly form, and teaches that death is only the beginning of new life.
Personality
If Pisces is taken to represent the twelfth and last period of life, age 77-84, it symbolizes a spiritual letting go of earthly attachments and a merging with the cosmos (as mentioned prior). The rulership of Neptune lends a dreamy, spiritual and deeply emotional quality to the Pisces personality. Pisces are not known for their practicality, but can in fact be masterful in their understanding and expression of abstract ideas and systems. Thus, those born under this sign can be typed as dreamers yet when they make a gift of their visions to humanity it is indeed a fine offering. Generally speaking, Pisces are easy about sharing material possessions and enjoy friendships and close partnerships more than most. Yet they also need to be alone a good deal of the time and run the risk of becoming escapists or loners who isolate themselves from the world.
Extreme sensitivity can make it difficult for Pisces to lead an easy social life. Though often characterized as the sign of sorrows, suffering is born well by Pisces. However, they can be vulnerable to depression an occasionally beset by self-pity. Escapes involving addiction are particularly dangerous for them. The deep and complex emotional life of those born under this sign makes them highly attractive to those who long for contact with the profound in life.
Pisces are often blessed with excellent memories, perhaps due to their impressionability. In addition, they tend to be devotional, and make true believers— this applies not only in the religious sense but also in regard to other belief systems and principles. Jupiter shows its influence in the generosity of this sign. Pisces are high empathic and sensitive to the difficulties of others; they tend to respond with compassion in the face of misfortune. However, Pisces must beware that others do not impose unduly on them or take advantage of their acquiescence.

FEBRUARY TWENTY NINTH
Strengths: Youthful. Accepting. Appreciative.
Weaknesses: Indulgent. Immature.
Tarot Card: The High Priestess
Personality
We can say with some certainty that there are far fewer February 29 people than those born on any other day. Moreover, were we to determine our age by counting up our birthdays, those born on February 29 would also be far younger than anyone else. Twenty would be a ripe old age for someone born on this day. Consequently, we might say that February 29 people are forever young.
Of course February 29 is a unique day, for it was created artificially to try to make up for the fact that our year is really a few hours longer than 365 days. This 366th day was brought into existence by Julius Caesar, who decreed that it occur only once every four years. However, in the time of Pope Gregory it was discovered that one day every four years is in fact a bit too much, so only one in four century years (2000, but not 1700, 1800 or 1900) is given the extra day.
Those born on the February 29 do carry an unmistakably youthful air. They seem, like a cat, to have nine lives, and are able to slip out of dangerous predicaments repeatedly. They are survivors whose deeds could almost be taken as a confirmation of their unusual birthdate. Indeed, February 29 people tend to be rather peculiar, a fact they know full well. From the earliest times they realize they are unusual because their apprehension of the world often seems at odds with the consensus. In the same way that for them their true birthday is a rarefied event and thus special, they tend to see the specialness in aspects of life that others would take for granted. At their best they are thus childlike, holding dear the simple joys—at their worst, childish, and somewhat needy.
Those born on this day are generally not the types to flamboyantly display their uniqueness to the world, but more often than not make a strong attempt to be even more normal than the average person. Thus they generally gravitate to work that deals with human concerns and the problems of everyday life, rather than seeking far-out professions. Often, their highly active fantasy and imagination finds its expression at home rather than in society at large.
February 29 people must not abandon their individuality or iron out too many of their idiosyncrasies in a quest for normality. It may be desirable for them to give up those habits which cut them off from others in a social sense, but should those differences be integral to their talents or an essential part of who they are, “improving” or “adjusting” could just be code words for repressing.
Many born on February 29 have a tendency to overcompensate for real or imagined deficiencies. Those who do so through an ambitious pursuit of success are, of course, at risk of succumbing to worldly temptations. On the other hand, those who withdraw can become hyper-romantic idealists who, wary of revealing themselves, come to live in a secretive fantasy world. February 29 people should strive to avoid such extremes of thought and behavior, and seek a middle path of moderation.

FEBRUARY TWENTY EIGHTH
Strengths: Vibrant. Alive. Emotionally Complex.
Weaknesses: Overenthusiastic. Excessive. Thoughtless.
Tarot Card: The Magician
Personality
Those born on February 28 have a tremendous zest for life, which they communicate to everyone who meets them. These positive, energetic individuals are able to brighten up most occasions with their vibrant personality. Yet, on the other hand, they have a propensity for heading off in entirely the wrong direction, full steam ahead. To make them aware of this is almost impossible when they are caught up in their own enthusiasm. They can be at once assured and positive, dynamic, effective or destructive, depending on the circumstances. Obviously, those born on this day would do well to sit down and contemplate their direction in life, get to know themselves better, and be more deliberate and purposeful in their actions.
Because their energies tend to be diffused and dispersed, and since they can so easily get carried away with new endeavors, February 28 people may adopt an unrealistic attitude toward the world which causes those near and dear to them a great deal of worry. Part of the problem is that some February 28 people may like having others worry about them, and may even engage in dangerous or uncertain activities precisely to get that attention.
For those born on this day, it is the actual excitement of events, the sensations that arise both in themselves and in others that keep them feeling vital and alive. However, they must learn to be highly discriminating in their choice of endeavors and involvements, taking on challenges that are not only risky but also worthwhile and rewarding, not just in the short term but over a lifetime.
Because they choose to live in such a vital and uncompromising way, February 28 people are likely to experience far more of life than the average person. Most born on this day wouldn’t have it any other way. On the other hand, uninhibited enthusiasm can lead to carelessness or thoughtlessness, which stands in the way of their serious development. Also, as they mature, February 28 people may find that the negative after-effects of their activities begin to outweigh the fun or stimulation.
Those born on this day need to imbue their zest for life with understanding. Through both intensely positive and negative encounters, they may eventually come to develop a personal philosophy and deepen their spiritual understanding of life. The question is at what point experience will at last translate into wisdom. For some born on this day, such an evolution takes place quite late in life, for others not at all. Indeed, it is incumbent on February 28 people to at some point stand removed from life’s passing show and observe themselves and others living.
Meditation
The object of one’s enthusiasm is at least as important as the enthusiasm itself
As I’m sure you’ve read/heard anywhere, Pisces have a tendency towards depression. While we are optimistic people, sometimes the world knocks us down a bit, and it’s a little hard to get on our feet.
Likewise, we tend to feel as though we don’t want to go to our friends, significant others, or other loved ones with our problems, because we feel like we’ll be a burden for them, or we’re already busy trying to help them with their issues.
I’d just like to let you all know, and everyone — not just Pisces — that my ask box is always open. Not just to questions of compatibility, either. If anyone ever feels like they need a bit of advice, or someone to talk to, I’m more than willing to help.
So feel free to contact me, anytime. :)
The same applies to me, everyone. c:
FEBRUARY TWENTY SEVENTH
Strengths: Magnetic. Capable. Worldly.
Weaknesses: Self-Unaware. Demanding. Emotionally Chaotic.
Tarot Card: The Hermit
Personality
Those born on February 27 are extremely insightful into the workings of the world around them. They spend a great deal of energy coming to understand the basic elements of everyday life—how things work, why people act the way they do, how to work to advantage with the environment—but this is only the beginning. From this solid reality base, February 27 people allow their questioning spirits to explore outward to social, international and universal spheres as well. Because they build solidly at each step of the way, they can confidently count on the wisdom they have culled from experience to see them through new and perhaps increasingly ambitious endeavors.
The greatest difficulties for February 27 people usually surface in their personal lives. Because they are extremely demanding individuals, and also since their intuitive choices in relationships are often not the most suitable for them to say the least, they can have tumultuous and often chaotic love lives. For some reason, for all of their understanding of the world and their capacity to make their way in it, they often know surprisingly little about themselves, other than what they think they want. To learn the difference between what they want and what they truly need is an important distinction for them to grasp and one which they hopefully make sooner rather than later in life. By satisfying their true needs they can, of course, find greater emotional stability and happiness. Too often they feel that their problems can be solved by another person, and put much too much energy into their romantic love lives, instead of seeking the solutions to their needs at a deeper level inside themselves. Given their emotional makeup, it is unlikely that those born on this day will experience much “downtime” between relationships, but an extended period alone could actually do them some good. Because of their thoughtful and sensitive nature, they should be able to accomplish much personal growth without outside help.
February 27 people are happiest when they can let their minds roam freely over a wide variety of subjects, and generally demand friends and mates who are also intellectually active. Those born on this day often struggle with their social environment in an attempt to somehow master it or perhaps redirect it. Their urge to dominate is very strong and because their magnetic powers are among the strongest in the entire year, they must be extremely careful not to overwhelm everyone around them.
If February 27 people lose moral direction they have a great potential for bringing destruction on themselves and others. Their capacity for not only seeing the truth but also bringing what they desire to pass, through a rare combination of empathy and willpower, presents them with great ethical and moral challenges.
Meditation
“Necessity” is a relative term
FEBRUARY TWENTY SIXTH
Strengths: Empathic. Critical. Stimulating.
Weaknesses: Self-Important. Rash. Reactive.
Tarot Card: Strength
Personality
Those born on February 26 have a great capacity to arouse others both emotionally and mentally. They are highly attuned to people’s sensitivities and therefore able to stir them deeply. Very adept at wielding irony and satire, they are also able to bring critical faculties to bear on the faults of both people and social institutions. More highly evolved individuals born on this day devote themselves to selfless causes in order to benefit their fellow human beings, often awakening them to the possibilities of both material and spiritual advancement.
Although February 26 people are highly individualistic, often engaged in a somewhat lonely pursuit of personal goals, they have a quiet but magnetic effect on those they meet. Most born on this day are not given to public displays of affection, and are more comfortable when spontaneity and impulsiveness originate with the other party. But while in private they are often quiet, serious and peace-loving individuals, they generally adopt a much more aggressive persona in their work life.
Because those born on this day are capable of wounding others deeply with their criticisms and probing insights, they must beware of arousing enmity and antagonism. But though February 26 people, particularly as parents, can be overly authoritarian on occasion, they are rarely as firm or decided in their stance as they would like to appear. Actually they are very vulnerable to emotional appeals and their buttons a bit easy to push. Where indulgences for their lovers, family members or children are concerned, this may not be such a bad thing.
However, it is best if those born on this day lessen their reactiveness when handling their business or professional affairs. Many February 26 people have a bad habit of presenting an overserious or even high-handed demeanor, and should therefore try to lighten up and take themselves a bit less seriously. More highly evolved February 26 people develop a much-needed capacity to laugh at themselves, without losing dignity or self-esteem.
Due to their empathic powers, February 26 people can strike a common chord in those whom they do not know that well or even have never met (through their work or creations). Being on the same wave length with others and sharing good feelings is very highly valued by them. Those born on this day are extremely happy when there is no need to explain themselves but can feel assured that another person silently understands their thinking.
Because many February 26 people secretly feel on the outside of society, being accepted carries great significance for them. In gaining social recognition for their often unusual achievements, they are brought into meaningful contact with society at large. However, should they assume positions of importance or receive a great deal of worldly success, they may feel but a heightened desire to be alone once again with their work.
Meditation
Awakening others carries tremendous responsibilities
FEBRUARY TWENTY FIFTH
Strengths: Faithful. Devotional. Giving.
Weaknesses: Over-involved. Rebellious. Unrealistic.
Tarot Card: The Chariot
Personality
Although those born on February 25 are often formidable individuals in their own right, they only reach their full potential when giving their all for a cause greater than themselves. Those born on this day have a large measure of confidence and self-respect but generally believe that universal goals have greater meaning than personal ones. Also they intuit that by plugging into a higher cause their own power is only magnified.
Not infrequently, February 25 people come into conflict with those around them. That they are critical of social mores is not surprising, since they see society as being in constant flux and turmoil, perhaps unworthy of a deep commitment. As children, February 25 people often rebel quite openly against their parents and other authority figures, and react emotionally to what they perceive to be injustice. Because they often do not find peace with themselves until later in life, their adolescence and early adulthood can be stormy.
In their late thirties and forties, February 25 people usually deepen their commitment to a worthy interest, perhaps art, philosophy, religion or an ideal of what humanity could be at its very best. Once an interest of this kind takes hold of them, they will devote ever increasing time and effort to it—publicly, privately or both. However, it is usually a happier state of affairs when they do not radically depart from their preexisting life but build on it in a healthy, organic way.
Those born on this day have no time for meanness or pettiness of any sort. They may evince a regal bearing themselves and do things with a grand gesture, yet rarely adopt a condescending or elitist attitude. The most successful of February 25 people are thus able to communicate their high ideals and sense of purpose to others. The less evolved of this day may fail to convince others of their sincerity and therefore be perceived as proselytizing or claiming types. The success, and indeed happiness, of February 25 people is often in direct proportion to their ability to communicate without arousing antagonism. In the worst cases they may come to feel self-pity and frustration through being misunderstood.
Giving is generally more important for February 25 people than receiving, but they must be sensitive to the fact that those on whom they bestow their gifts may be less than eager to receive them. In such cases those born on this day only prime themselves for feelings of rejection. Instead, toughening their stance and adopting a more no-nonsense attitude based on mutual exchange may be a more suitable approach for them and ultimately a healthier way of relating to others.

FEBRUARY TWENTY FOURTH
Strengths: Giving. Open. Accepting.
Weaknesses: Self-Absorbed. Demanding. Static.
Tarot Card: The Lovers
Personality
Sacrifice is a pivotal theme in the lives of February 24 people, and can manifest in a variety of ways. Those born on this day often sacrifice their own concerns—to a cause, parental wishes, or the desires of a mate or family. Typically they themselves demand a great degree of sacrifice from others, particularly loved ones. The theme may also recur in more abstract or philosophical forms, where sacrifice becomes a kind of acceptance of life as it is, a sacrifice of ego so to speak. In the best cases this is a true unselfishness and desire to work for the common good.
Those February 24 people who choose to sacrifice themselves to a larger purpose or the wishes of a group do so with anything from blissful joy to an austere, even grim sense of duty. In the former case they sincerely believe in what they do and the happiness or well-being of others is their personal reward. In the latter case, though they may act out of firm moral or ethical convictions, they can harbor deep resentment due to the frustrated demands of their ego. Such frustration, building up over a long period of time, one day bursts out and leads these February 24 people to reject the responsibilities placed on them.
Many February 24 people seek to reduce the presence of their ego, perhaps even getting rid of it altogether, in the pursuit of a more pure lifestyle. The danger here is, of course, that they could be in some way deluding themselves; it may not be possible to get rid of one’s ego when it is not yet fully formed! The more highly evolved of February 24 people are aware of this trap and steer clear by strengthening the positive aspects of their personality and judging themselves by objective standards whenever possible. Yet other February 24 people accept everything that fate sends their way, believing that their misfortune, is somehow a confirmation of a higher state.
February 24 people must find a way to work for the common good or perhaps please their parents and society without compromising their own beliefs and desires. More than for most, those born on this day must be very sure of their wishes and unafraid of communicating them. If they have grown overly accepting of compromise and less-than-ideal circumstances, or a self-image that is not up to their talents or abilities, they run the risk of building a set of negative or self-fulfilling prophecies into their outlook which determine their future as well. If they one day wish to again take control of their life, they may find the going rough, as they will be swimming against an undertow of ingrained habits and expectations.
Steady progress, willpower, resolute conduct, determination, guts—these are qualities which February 24 people must have in place before they begin to make any major sacrifices. Also sharing love from a position of strength rather than weakness proves far more satisfying in the long run.

FEBRUARY TWENTY THIRD
Strengths: Convincing. Analytic. Pragmatic.
Weaknesses: Hypercritical. Negative. All-Knowing.
Tarot Card: The Hierophant
Personality
February 23 people specialize in offering not only their ideas but also themselves as viable alternatives to less than ideal circumstances. They are often problem solvers engaged in moving things forward in a positive direction. Once those born on this day are convinced that they are the best candidate for a job, position of family leadership or social responsibility, they must secure that position, or at least receive a fair hearing. Their arguments are usually cogent and sound as is their advice, for rarely do they try to convince anyone of their views until they have done their homework thoroughly.
February 23 people are realists, down-to-earth individuals adept at sizing up a situation and placing their finger on precisely what can be improved. Unfortunately, February 23 realism may in fact be pessimism and particularly in later life those born on this day must beware of becoming hypercritical, even bitter. There is an undeniably dark side to February 23 people, necessitating a careful balance of their energies to avoid depression. They must particularly beware of falling into self-destructive patterns.
February 23 people have a solid hold on the material world. They are not overly indulgent in enjoying the luxuries of life. For them the thrill of dealing with practicalities and everyday difficulties has to do with building on yesterday and preparing for the complexities of tomorrow. They are like a motor which once running, keeps running.
Those born on this day are happy to expand their base of operations but will generally do so cautiously. One reason for their success, in addition to their pragmatism, is their kairotic sense, i.e. knowing the right time to act and when to stand pat. Those born on this day usually handle the existential dilemma well, taking responsibility for directing their lives while accepting the laws of inevitability.
When February 23 people are frustrated in one direction they rarely backtrack, but simply choose another path. Most of the time, before embarking on plan A, they have already considered the merits of plan B, and hold it in ready reserve. Thus those born on this day excel at offering advice to those who have simply reached a dead end and can go no further. Often they themselves, or their services, prove to be the viable alternative to a stalemate.
In their private lives, February 23 people must beware of adopting an all-knowing or infallible attitude and becoming complacent or unresponsive to the emotional needs of others. They must strive to keep their minds open and tune in to the wishes of those around them. By truly valuing the opinions of others, and listening quietly and non-judgmentally to their concerns, they will win friends and inspire support for their own efforts.

FEBRUARY TWENTY SECOND
Strengths: Unselfish. Idealistic. Dedicated.
Weaknesses: Unforgiving. Pessimistic. Overcritical.
Tarot Card: The Fool
Personality
February 22 people generally believe in the greatest good for the greatest number. In this sense, their democratic, perhaps patriotic feelings run high. Not infrequently, they find themselves supporting or leading the cause of their clan, organization, community, even country. However, the most highly evolved people born on this day have ideals that reach far beyond municipal or national borders. Lovers of universal freedom, high idealists, they wish that all enjoy the blessings of a good life, without threat of tyranny or oppression
Those born on February 22 tend to dissolve their ego away in the service of a meaningful cause. Their personal world may be an intricate and complex one, their emotions profoundly sensitive, yet they do not allow this to be their principal concern, and rather turn their spotlight out on the world, illuminating worthy ideals and goals.
February 22 people have a strict sense of duty and can be rather stern and unforgiving. When they make mistakes, they come down very hard on themselves. They also suffer greatly when they have gone against their own personal code, whether for reasons of expediency or survival. They must learn to be less hard on themselves, and more accepting of circumstances as they are. February 22 standards are often too high for anyone (including themselves) to ever live up to.
Though, as mentioned, February 22 people often dissolve away their ego in the service of their work, this does not mean that they are necessarily easygoing in personal relationships. Despite the fact that they can appear open to a variety of experience, their likes and dislikes are pronounced, even fixed. In addition, they will pull no punches when making their displeasure known to their partner.
Those born on this day are frequently critical of their society, adopting a revolutionary or avant-garde stance. Not particularly optimistic, they realistically assess the shortcomings of everyone and everything. Less highly evolved individuals born on this day can’t help but see all the imperfections around them, but choose to do nothing most of the time, vacillating between grumbling and aimlessly striking out in rebellion. Those February 22 people who come to accept social inequities against their idealistic nature can sink into a deep pessimism.
Because of their capacity to put personal desire aside, February 22 people are capable of making magnetic leaders who instill great loyalty in their followers. Certainly not everyone born on this day will have the opportunity to exercise authority as an employer, manager or political leader. However, should the need arise to call for assistance or support, they will be able to demand great sacrifice from colleagues, family and friends since the purity of their motives is rarely in doubt.

FEBRUARY TWENTY FIRST
Strengths: Emotionally Deep. Self-Aware. Honest.
Weaknesses: Self-Involved. Dissatisfied. Detached.
Tarot Card: The World
Personality
Those born on February 21 struggle to express themselves on a personal level. Their early life can be largely tied up with themselves and with the internal difficulties they face. They may at first see these difficulties as originating with their environment but usually come to realize that their own highly complex natures are the real issue. But problems, of course, can be challenges and opportunities—to grow, to learn, to evolve. Most February 21 people fully accept this challenge to improve themselves and grow enormously as a result. By coming to terms with and perhaps overcoming their own emotional sensitivities they can realize a kind of self-awareness attained by few. They can also display remarkable insight into the emotions and motivations of others.
One of the highest attainments of February 21 people seems simple enough—intimacy. But for them to share themselves fully with another human being, to allow that person to see them as they really are without defenses, is perhaps the greatest gift they can give. Problems may arise when that special person ignores the gift, does not recognize its specialness or is not interested. The resultant shock to these sensitive individuals can be devastating, and it can be a long time before they again dare to open themselves that way again.
It is difficult for the ego-oriented, feeling people born on this day to be objective about their work, since what they create seems indivisible from who they are. Therefore, negative criticism is particularly difficult for them to handle, since in their eyes criticism may amount to a personal attack. Particularly artists, craftspeople, entertainers and public servants born on this day will have to toughen their skin if they wish to be successful in the world.
It is not uncommon for February 21 people to have had very difficult childhoods emotionally, with the focus of their problems on the parent of the opposite sex. As a result of either being overly supervised and minutely criticized or when attention was needed most, ignored, those born on this day may develop in the former case into unusually quiet, secretive individuals and in the latter into flamboyant and extroverted types.
A healthy and contented love life may also be elusive, something they will search the world over to find. For some, a loving partner affirms their worth; for others, such a person can be a much needed confidant, one who is intimate with their most sensitive secrets. In either case, few individuals are forced to live more closely in touch with their inner world than February 21 individuals. For them to find emotional happiness and peace can be eminently satisfying, but generally involves an entire lifetime of growth and effort.
Meditation
One side of the moon is always dark
Um, you wouldn’t, unfortunately.
o___o Unless you can find your birth records? ;; The only way to find out your ascendant is to know what time you were born. :c I’m sorry.
People keep asking about how they find out certain aspects of their astrology. So, I’ve posted a few links incase if anyone else was curious. c: They’re above the fish gadget. There’s one for your entire chart, one for just your ascendant, and one just for your moon sign. c:
Sure. c: I’ll give it a shot.
Well, a Leo Ascendant suggests that you have some kind of attraction to you. By this, I don’t necessarily mean looks. More like, people notice you. I’d be willing to bet it’s probably more of a calm aura, as opposed to you being really loud, or something. Leo’s have a definite nurturing side to them— and I imagine that might be found in you. However, Capricorns tend to hide their emotions a lot; rather, they aren’t that great at expressing themselves to others. I imagine you have some sort of need to succeed— or at least like to feel satisfied. Capricorns tend to like success, and Leo’s tend to be more-or-less self-centered (not saying you are, but that aspect of Leo might add to this kind of trait).
I think, here, there’s a good balance of “emotional” and “practical.” <3
c: I can most certainly help you!
Well, the “Sun Sign” for you is Pisces. Um, it refers to where the sun is located at your birth— so, for you it’s Pisces. The “Sun Sign” is was most people know, because all you need to know is the day you were born. When most people say, “Oh, I’m a Gemini” they’re talking about their Sun Sign.
However, if you want to know other things— like the position of the moon, or mercury, or jupiter, etc, you’re going to have to know the time you were born. Same goes for the Ascendant Sign. Now, the ascendant refers to “what’s on the rising,” which is why it’s also referred to as the Rising Sign. Different planets represent different things— like Venus, representing love and whatnot. The Ascendant is, basically, the “mask you wear.” So, if I were to go around and guess a person’s sign— I’d probably guess their Ascendant, because that’s what other’s readily see.
Now, assuming you know the time you were born, you can use this calculator. Once you’ve entered the information, you can scroll down just a bit and see a chart. The chart will tell you what is what! c:
FEBRUARY TWENTIETH
Strengths: Perceptive. Cooperative. Memorable
Weaknesses: Impressionable. Reactive. Overemotional
Tarot Card: The Judgement
Personality
Those born on February 20 are taken up with the theme of both registering an impression and making an impression on others. Because of their receptive nature, they generally have vivid memories and can much later repeat accurately what they have seen or heard. On the other hand, they will usually do what they have to do to make certain that others remember them as well. February 20 people want to be taken seriously, and therefore forcefully stamp their mark on whatever it is they carry out, be it their business involvements, creative efforts or familial responsibilities.
For this reason, one might expect February 20 people to be aggressive types, but though forceful, most born on this day are not particularly combative or argumentative. It is rather out of sympathetic feelings and self-belief that they express themselves so strongly. For them, holding nothing back is a way of showing people how much they really care about what they do. Excellent additions to a team, they demonstrate both their ability to put their talents to work for the common good, as well as their relative disinterest in being a dictator. They do, however, demand that others pull their weight and can quickly grow impatient with anyone seemingly not giving their all. Those born on this day must not make the mistake of assuming that friends and associates are somehow slouching when they in fact are doing the very best they can.
February 20 people display a tremendous will to win. They must, however, avoid triumphing at the expense of someone else’s feelings, if possible. Those born on this day are themselves highly emotional, and also extremely sensitive to criticism and negativity directed their way. Learning to master and structure their emotional life can makes them more stable and reliable. This is not to suggest in any way that they bottle up or cool their ardor or passion. It is just that their enthusiasm and belief in themselves is so strong that they do tend to go overboard more often than they should. Thus it is important, particularly as they age, that they become more philosophical and contemplative, more aware of their impact on their environment.
Although being open and retaining impressions is a great strength of February 20 people, they may at times be too impressionable. They can fall under the spell of negative influences through their sympathy and openness. Thus their empathic tendencies may sometimes work against them. In addition February 20 people too often have a desire to please and wind up compromising themselves. Learning not to be so malleable or reactive, and remaining true to their beliefs in the face of adversity is essential to their personal development.
