Lucky optimist
Your Pisces birthday reveals you to be self-motivated and imaginative, as well as a receptive and independent individual. Idealistic, with powerful feelings and a willingness to work hard, you can be very generous and protective of those you love. Although you are amiable and gracious, with a pragmatic approach, a blend of high ideals and a practical desire for money and luxury indicate that you may vacillate between extremes. By finding a just cause that can both inspire you and provide a financial incentive, you can overcome a tendency to be ruled by your forceful emotions.
The added influence of your Sun in the Pisces decanate strengthens your intuitive powers, though occasionally it may also result in fluctuating moods and restlessness. Mentally sharp and receptive to new trends and ideas, you are able to welcome social reform. Although you are usually imaginative and contemplative, your unsettled nature can sometimes cause you to be at odds with others. If you lack direction, you can be influenced by peer group pressure; rather than stand alone, you might go with the flow or choose escapism as an easy way out.
Since you enjoy new beginnings, ideally you should be an initiator. This also suggests that you should avoid getting stuck in a rut and becoming impatient. As long as you keep faith in yourself, your no-nonsense approach, original ideas, and intuition guarantee you success.
Until you reach the age of twenty-five, your progressed Sun moves through Pisces, placing the emphasis on your emotional development and intuition as well as your dreams for the future. While you are between the ages of twenty-six and fifty-five, your progressed Sun moves through Aries. This influence suggests that you develop your assertiveness and enjoy being active and adventurous. This is a good time to initiate projects, be involved in leadership, or learn to be more straightforward in your relationships. After the age of fifty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Taurus, you become calmer and steadier, with a possible greater interest in nature. There is also an increased need to be established and feel secure.

Others turn to February 24 people when they are in need of a helping hand—be it practical aid or emotional support—knowing that not only will they not be turned away, but that they will receive committed and sympathetic assistance. Those born on this day generally have a real desire to engage their energies on behalf of their fellow human beings. Their motivations may vary. It may be that they have experienced unhappiness at the hands of others—especially during their childhoods—and are determined to save others from a similar plight; many believe in the power of karma and the notion that they will benefit spiritually from their unselfishness; some have a real humanitarian vision; while others experience the superiority of martyrdom from self- sacrifice.
Whatever it is that fuels them, these people will find satisfaction in such public services as the mili- tary or police force, or else in the caring and medical professions, where they can feel that they are actively doing good. The empathy that informs many of their actions is a manifestation of the extreme sensitivity of these people, but these are not vague and dreamy types—on the contrary, they are resolutely practical and will harness their intuitive tendencies to their impressive capacity for self-discipline and intellec- tual clarity. There are twin dangers inherent in this devotion to others, however: that the no less press- ing needs of those closest to February 24 people are neglected in favor of the greater good, or that they suppress their own, less “worthy”—but no less important—urges.
