and organized. Taureans and Capricorns, especially, can show them the benefits of practicality and common sense. Aquarians can encourage them to speak out and push the boundaries more. Geminis and Librans can help them be more cerebral and less emotional in their approach to life. Cancerians can encourage them to ask for help when they need it; Sagittarians can teach them the importance of focusing their idealism and being less influenced by the opinions of others. Scorpios can help them distinguish between people who genuinely admire them and those who are simply using them, while Arians and Leos can help them include more optimism and adventure in their approach to life.
Chinese astrology counterpart: The Rabbit
Those born in the year of the Rabbit are drawn to everything beautiful and imaginative in much the same way that Pisceans are. They are compassionate dreamers but, like Pisces, can also be extremely gullible. Sociable and caring, they will trust others easily, but their trusting and unquestioning nature can also be their downfall, as others do not always have their best interests at heart.
Rabbits love to belong to a group and are highly respectful of others. But, like their Piscean counterparts, they are also highly sensitive and need plenty of time alone. They love to burrow, and will escape from the responsibilities of their daily lives when things get too noisy or overwhelming. Their dislike of being pinned down can earn them the reputation of being fickle but, in general, rabbits are thought of as creative, kind and lucky people.
Note: Pisceans have an affinity with Rabbit-sign characteristics, but be sure to check which Chinese sign corresponds to your year of birth, and to read about the characteristics associated with it, too.
The Birthday of Wanderlust
“I make a name for myself wherever I go”
The life lesson: is to finish what you start.
The way forward: is to understand that ideas are the easy part; having the willpower to see them through is what determines success or not.
Luck maker: Be a role model for others. What do you want your loved ones to learn from you?
Those born on February 19 do things only one way: their way. They prize their independence above all else and don’t like to be ordered around. They think their own thoughts and make their own way in life and often have a lust for travel, thriving on new situations and people. With their independent spirit and need to make their mark, they can often be found at the cutting edge of their chosen field. Although they perform best alone, they can also make inspirational leaders or enthusiastic team players. Their appetite for life and new situations is huge, and even when settling down in a career or a relationship, their eye is always on the horizon, wondering what else might be out there for them. The danger with this inquisitive approach to life is that they can appear reckless or selfish at times.
Born explorers, they make outstanding campaigners, performers, artists, actors, musicians, dancers, scientists, explorers, travel guides, influencers and designers, but they may also be drawn to sales, promotion, childcare, education and promoting global causes through science, medicine, social and environmental work and the caring professions. They have a free-spirited approach to their health and resist any attempt to impose diet and exercise routines. Self-care and plenty of rest and relaxation are essential. For self-care, if you have trouble sleeping, a warm bath, a good book and a glass of chamomile herbal tea can work wonders.
A mix of vulnerability and excitement, these people often have a hypnotic power over others, but their approach to life can prevent them connecting empathetically. At around the age of 31 their ambition heightens. It is particularly important for them, at this stage in life and beyond, not to scatter their energies selfishly. Their lives will always be full of opportunities because they have a knack finding them. Along the way they may encounter setbacks, but they never let these disillusion them. In their mind and their life, the only way is their way and that way is always up. Their destiny is to test the limits and move themselves and others forward.

The Birthday of the Perceptive Charmer
“I see beauty in everyone and everything”
The life lesson: is learning to say no.
The way forward: is to understand that only after you give to yourself first can you be of any real help to others.
Luck maker: The better you feel about yourself, the better others will feel about you.
People born on February 20 tend to be sensitive and able to immediately tune into the energies of those around them, altering their reactions instantly. Highly ambitious with an appealing charm, they are sure to stand out. Sometimes they can appear superficial, but behind their charm there is always great intelligence. They also have great compassion, instinctively dealing with anyone—whatever their background or social status—with great understanding and warmth. They can sometimes be impressionable, unable to separate their own emotions from the emotions of others. There is a danger when they become aware of their ability to instinctively relate to others that they can misuse it. It is important, therefore, for them to learn not to compromise themselves or take advantage of others in the single-minded pursuit of their goals.
Born healers and givers, these people may be drawn to medicine, education, the caring professions
