People born on February 28 have a warm glow about them and can light up their lives of others with their energy and originality. They love to be center stage and are often in just that spot at social gatherings. Natural performers, they are never short of admirers and are blessed with the ability to charm just about anyone they meet.
Articulate and entertaining, people born on this day will go out of their way to get a laugh or reaction from others, even if this involves exaggerating the truth. They thrive on being noticed, but attention seeking isn’t what drives them. Their motivation is a thirst for adventure and they will enthusiastically follow wherever their impulses direct them. Underlying their restlessness, however, is a deep-seated fear of standing still; the fear of it will drive them toward sensation-seeking and sometimes self-destructive behavior.
They won’t ever lose the glint in their eye, but underneath their bravado they do secretly long to find a real purpose and achieve lasting success in the eyes of the world. This won’t be possible until they discover that self-esteem is not created by thrill-seeking but by being the person they are. It is important for these people to learn to be more comfortable with being rather than doing, because until they can reach this level of awareness their life may hurtle chaotically from one situation to another and one person to another. They should learn to cultivate an inner calmness between the ages of twenty-two and fifty-one, when there is an emphasis in their life on new directions and ventures.
Because people born on this day live in such a vibrant and wholehearted way, they will experience life more intensely than others. They do, however, need to rein in their compulsion to indulge their every whim and learn greater self-control. They should never suppress their optimism and curiosity, but if they can just try to look before they leap, they can become far more than original charmers; they can become life’s pioneers, boldly going where none have gone before.
☆ On the dark side：Thoughtless, melodramatic, reckless
☆ At your best：Charming, original, vibrant
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 bom 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.
Power Thought：I celebrate what I have, and I meet new challenges with open arms，The object of one's enthusiasm is at least as important as the enthusiasm itself
Those born on the 28th day of the month are ruled by the number 1 (2+8=10, 1+0=1 ). and by the Sun. Those ruled by the number 1 generally like to be first in what they do; they are typically individual, highly opinionated and eager to rise to the top. The Sun symbolizes strong creative energy and fire, which is best kept flowing steadily rather than allowed to sporadically Hare out of control. The combination of the Sun and Neptune (ruler of Pisces) can make February 28 people overly romantic and sensationalistic.
The 1st card of the Major Arcana is The Magician, who symbolizes intellect, communication, information, as well as magic. Over his head is an infinity symbol, which in some Tarot decks takes the form of a hat, in others a halo. Many interpretations may be drawn, one of which is that The Magician recognizes the cyclical and unending nature of life and is empowered by this understanding. The positive traits suggested by this first card include diplomatic skill and shrewdness but, negatively, lack of scniples and opportunism. This card warns February 28 people against getting carried away with the world of illusion, picking the wrong friends and using their energies for immoral purposes.

You’re drawn to people born on July 21 to August 23：Your share a love of adventure and glamour; this can create a loving and energetic bond.
People born on February 28 can find it hard to stay committed to one relationship. They can be big flirts, which can upset a partner. To enjoy all the fulfilling rewards of a loving relationship it is important for them to learn greater self-control and to step back every now and again to let their partner take center stage. They tend to stick with partners who are loyal, energetic and glamorous.
Life in the fast lane can take its toll on the health of people born on this day and it is important for them to set aside days of peace and rest to stop them burning out. There is a tendency for them to neglect their health as they jump from one adventure to another; regular health check-ups are therefore recommended. They often enjoy cooking, so this will encourage them to eat more healthily; as far as exercise is concerned, they would benefit most from those with a mind-body approach, such as yoga or tai chi, although swimming and running also suit them. Wearing, surrounding themselves with or meditating on shades of purple will encourage them to look within rather than without for a sense of self-esteem.
Those born on February 28 may not have a great awareness of their body and how it works An objective medical authority with whom they may haw regular checkups and health discussions is highly beneficial. February 28 people must be particularly careful of chronic conditions affecting their lymphatics, venous return and blood pooling in their lower extremities with advanced age (leading to varicosities). A regular exercise schedule involving swimming, jogging and/or yoga is a good combination of thoughtful body work which suits them. Those born on this day usually like both to cook and eat. SO they do not need much encouragement in this respect.
These people need to find careers which will allow them to channel their energy and curiosity. They are ideally suited to careers in tourism and travel, as well as arts and sports. Their sharp mind and desire to explore mentally may also draw them to science, teaching, research, and philosophy, and they can also thrive in careers which allow them to take the lead, such as management or business, or working for themselves. Later in life they may be drawn toward helping others, and their love of the dramatic may also draw them to the arts, writing and entertainment world.
The life path of people born on this day is to look within as well as without for a sense of fulfillment and adventure. Once they are able to find inner peace, their destiny is to be the pioneer and adventurer of this world.
