February 18-born never grow old in their minds and hearts. With a charismatic, youthful energy about them, they brighten up their surroundings with their infectious optimism and enthusiasm for new and improved ideas and projects, however impossible they may seem. These people are courageous risk-takers. They will always be the first to volunteer or put themselves forward. They are never happier than when they are pushing things one degree harder, higher or faster, but they do need to ask themselves why they feel the need to live like this. Sometimes deep-seated insecurities are hidden behind their restless impatience.
Born DJs, these people need careers that allow them to express their originality. Multitalented, they can flourish in any career, but may be drawn to business, public relations, social-media influencing, music, publishing, writing, the self-help industry, journalism, the leisure industry, the media, art and entertainment. They are thrill-seekers, but they should avoid over-indulgence as far as their health is concerned, and learn when to stop or say no to anything that is not optimum for their wellbeing. For self-care, learning to cook properly would not only benefit your health but also encourage you to slow down and think about what you are ingesting.
Others are often drawn to the youthful spirit of those born on this day and may look to them for leadership in both life and love, but they aren’t always happy in that role as it hinders their freedom. Although their life sparkles with heart and adventure, they may find themselves wondering why they lack a sense of real achievement. It is important for them to learn to focus their energies rather than scatter them; fortunately, after the age of 32, they become more assertive and self-disciplined. As long as they avoid looking in the wrong direction for adventure, remain true to themselves and understand that showing off isn’t the most fulfilling or grown-up way to gain supporters, they have the potential to win the admiration and respect of others and, most important of all, a sense of pride in themselves and their achievements. Their destiny is to motivate others with their infectious energy.

People born under the sun sign Pisces typically have a dreamy nature. Visionaries, with the intuitive perception to see the undercurrents beneath the surface of things, they are often highly sensitive, imaginative, creative or artistic. They easily adapt themselves to different people and situations, and have an uncanny ability to sense and feel what others are thinking and feeling.
Personality potential
Pisceans are the last sign, completing the 12 signs of the zodiac, and have a little of each of the other signs in them. They are the everyman and everywoman of the zodiac. This is why they find it so easy to understand and relate to anyone. It also explains why compassion and empathy for others flows through them and they care so deeply about the wellbeing of others. They often work in hospitals, care homes, day-care centers, counseling services or places where the less fortunate in society can be found.
The compassion and tolerance of Pisceans sets them apart as truly generous and caring individuals. They are perhaps the most caring sign of the zodiac. They rarely miss an opportunity to do something positive for others, both people they care about and people they don’t even know. The reason for their generosity is that, just as every fish relies on its community for survival, they believe that helping others strengthens not only the people they help but the entire community they are a part of. Their generous spirit and sincere belief that the whole empowers the individual makes them highly respected and valued members of any group or society. Also, they don’t help others with an expectation that they will be helped in return, and, thanks to this humility, they often find themselves unexpectedly benefiting when someone remembers their giving nature and helps them.
Pisceans have a vast imagination and a highly intuitive approach to life that helps them see beyond the details to the bigger picture. Ruled by the mystic planet, Neptune, and the philosophical planet, Jupiter, they often feel the need to escape into flights of intellectual fantasy. Despite their idealism, they are not work-shy and are prepared to roll up their sleeves and put in the energy required to transform their beautiful visions into reality. Their discipline and ability to multitask and effortlessly adapt to different people and situations means that they can succeed in whatever they put their mind to. The main reason for their success, though, is that they know how to trust their gut feelings, and their intuition is often spot on. For Pisceans, feeling that something is right is the most important ingredient in their lives. The more they listen to their intuition, the happier and more fulfilled they are likely to be.
“The compassion and tolerance of Pisceans sets them apart as truly generous and caring individuals.”
Personality pitfalls
Highly sensitive and empathetic, Pisceans can often lose themselves in other people or issues. They don’t know where they start and someone else begins, and there can be a tendency to become co-dependent in their relationships. Some Pisceans take the soft option of living through their loved ones, rather than finding out who they are and what they want to do with their life. Fading into the life of another person or finding their identity through a group or career means that they don’t fulfill their true potential.
Commitment can also be an issue for Pisceans. Their panoramic ability to see
