Horoscopes for February 29, 2008

• Love & Relationships

Daily

Daily Flirt:

Something is much too good to be true, so step back and let others suffer disappointment. You've dealt with enough already. If you keep your eyes open, you might find that things get better tomorrow.

Daily Couples:

Part of you is afraid that a single change in your relationship will cause the whole structure to become shaky. Don't suppress that fear. Acknowledge it, examine it and deal with it. Then you can see how to move past it.

Daily Singles:

It'll be particularly easy to get caught up in the moment these days, so choose your moments carefully. Turning a fun night with friends into a full-blow party? Great! Ending a first date by eloping? Not so great.

Weekly

It's a lack of haste that makes waste, at least when it comes to your romantic affairs this week. Get right on it, whether 'it' is online dating or real-time one-on-one time with a certain someone. Why the rush? You're burning hot right now, that's all. Cool your jets around Thursday and Friday, though; that passionate nature of yours might find you going -- or even being led -- astray. Principles, people! When the weekend comes, you ought to be able to look at a romantic situation with a practical eye -- always helpful.

Monthly

Take a romantic risk on the 1st. Take another on the 2nd. See what happens when you put your fears aside (fears such as: 'Will they like me?') and just follow your heart's desire. This month could be one of a lot of romantic exploration and learning, especially if you listen carefully to what you really need. On the 6th, a conflict arises. Is it a conflict within yourself? Perhaps your emotional impulses aren't as coordinated as they could be? Could it be that part of you wants closeness, but part of you pulls back because you're afraid of being hurt? Don't you think these different signals might confuse your potential partner? On the 9th, go out on a really nice (and slightly off-beat) date. On the 13th, deal with at least one aspect of at least one intimate emotional relationship. On the 17th, dreaming about amorous adventures could bring them closer to reality. On the 21st, do somebody a romantic favor, and you'll be glad in the long run. On the 26th, your romantic energies are at their height -- now's the time to act! End the month, on the 29th, by acting on an instinct.

Yearly

You will enjoy the classic romance of moonlight walks and candlelit dinners with your partner, this year. Having a committed relationship also filled with love and passion is one of your primary desires, and fulfills your emotional and erotic nature. You like the idea of having family and children. Take advantage of your desires to settle down and freely give of yourself to others. Home is very important, and you thrive on a need to have inner peace and family security.

Your intuition and idealism in your approach to love makes you feel quite attracted and excited about nurturing all the energy you are feeling. Love comes easily to you, this year, through charm and finesse. You can be in tune with your partner more than they can ever realize. You may also know things that he or she may not want to be revealed to you because of your tremendous psychic abilities, and strong instincts for distinguishing truth from fiction. For you to feel loved, nurtured and passionately cared for is a must.

You will become quite moody if others aren't sensitive to your deeper needs. At times you may feel hurt by your partner, and may go deep within and find a creative and spiritual resource instead of immediately lashing out. This will help you process your emotions until you can communicate exactly what you need to. Your deep emotions will require that you are understood: you know what you want and what is important to you. You will require others to understand you before you care to share with them your most intimate secrets.

• Career & Finance

Daily

Brilliant promises may blind you to the real possibilities today. It's hard to see past the hype by yourself. Retreat to the embrace of respected advisors who are more impressed by stats than sentences.

Weekly

Concentrate your focus and consolidate your power as the week begins. With goals firmly front of mind and the right buy-in, these can be amazingly high-achieving days for you. Around Thursday and Friday, an extreme course of action may seem worth it, but the consequences could be extreme as well. Analyze the worst-case outcome(s) with real seriousness prior to moving forward. Networking comes naturally this weekend -- which, for someone as independent as you, is a state to take advantage of. Don't hesitate to talk shop in whatever context.

Monthly

What's on your mind when you're at work on the 1st? Are you thinking deep, philosophic thoughts about the nature of your work and its role in society? Are you wondering whether or not you could contribute more to the greater good? Do you think it's likely that if you spent a little more time in the contemporary philosophy section of the library you'd have more answers? But more questions, as well? Ponder all of those issues, but don't spend so much time thinking about them that you forget to do any actual work. On the 4th, sign something. Anything. Well -- okay, not a blank check. But sign anything within reason. On the 9th, manifest a creative idea in some sort of tangible form. By the 13th, it's important that you resist getting caught up in the general opinion (if your opinion actually isn't the general one). On the 19th, your boss is completely annoying you. Try to be philosophical. By the 23rd and 24th, patience pays. By the 25th and 26th, just about everything you turn your hand to pays. Great! End the month, on the 29th, with a decision that comes from the depths of your psyche.

Yearly

You are strongly determined to succeed and to complete your creative projects. Inner desires will serve both your career and your higher visions in life. Your responsibility, this year, is to find a profession that utilizes and lines up with your own personal ideals. You feel very fortunate that you have a job, and it will be very important that you get both recognition and be allowed to express your passion and interests. You are motivated to start new projects and keep your job lively and interesting. You're not afraid of hard work when you know that you have an important goal to fulfill.

Direct your energies towards understanding and learning from experiences of those from different walks of life than yours. It will be important for you to be conscious of being more of a team player, while working any through problems that may arise. Get a good grip on things before acting and be aware to not want to jump to conclusions. Others count on your deep insight, clarity and awareness of what's going on, as well as your ability to be able to communicate clearly. You have a natural talent to see other points of view, and don't miss a beat when it comes to expressing yourself. You have the great talent of a dramatic actor, which you could no doubt use to great effect when you want to get your way. Your performances will make you an asset in social situations this year.

• General

Daily Overview

Quickie:

Listen to what a family member has to say about your life -- even if it annoys you.

Overview:

You are living in the moment more today, which is liberating -- but also brings an element of risk, as impulsive behavior could lead to difficult situations (or great rewards, for that matter).

Daily Extended

Someone in your family might not know the full story about what is going on with you right now, but that is probably not going to stop them from lecturing you about it. As much as it might annoy you to listen to what they have to say, you must. They might not be on target with what they are talking about, but they love you -- and listening to what they think is a good way to show them that you love them right back. Besides, there will be more than a few gems of wisdom in what they tell you.

Daily Teen

You're not fooled any more by that person, place or thing that isn't what it appears to be. You may not be able to convince anyone else -- yet -- that things are fishy, but time will tell and they'll see.

Weekly

Your complex, passionate nature has all eyes on you during the first few days of this week. If you've been longing to make a change -- at work, in a relationship, in your long-term plans -- now's the time for transformation of a beautiful kind. Around Thursday and Friday, though, hold up and wait a minute! Something's sketchy now, and you'd be wise to wait until the outline's a bit more filled in. Any conversations you initiate this weekend tend to be great -- so what do you want to discuss, and with whom? Start talking -- and listening, of course.

Monthly

Go ahead and take a risk on the 1st. Go ahead and take another risk on the 2nd. But don't forget, as you go on with these risk-taking impulses and give in to your wild-side desires, that not everybody is what they seem. In fact, there's almost always something hidden. So before you buy that bridge in Brooklyn, make sure it's really for sale. On the 7th, somebody could lose their cool. Don't get too heated up over it. On the 8th and 9th, Cupid is aiming his arrows your way. Stand still long enough, and you'll make an excellent target! Here's a bet that you'll enjoy being that little guy's bull's eye. On the 13th, compromise is quite possibly the most important thing you can do right now. The 17th is the day you get what (or whom) you want. Enjoy it! On the 22nd, a good friend could confide a great secret. Don't let it go any further, but help them celebrate their good news! The 26th and 27th are charmed. You feel great and have success after success. On the 29th, trust your instincts.

Yearly

With overflowing passion in all areas of life, you enjoy sharing, learning and developing your wonderful communication skills. Your ability to offer compassion and emotional sensitivity will help you connect to others, indirectly benefiting your home and career. You strive to get to the roots of issues, and develop intelligent and direct conversations. As you have a strong awareness of your own philosophical and spiritual inner world, you benefit greatly from private exploration of these concepts.

Being a more introspective, and focusing more on alone time instead of the outer world, will help you gather in some of your passionate energy and recharge your inner needs. You will become more interested in visionary ideas, and this will help you to use your latent creativity. Your desire for security is strongly connected with quality material possessions, and how much money you have. Your earning ability will dramatically increase, which will provide for enough left over both to enjoy life and put aside savings.

Your dreams of creating a perfect home sanctuary will come true. Many of your deep desires to make changes in your outer world will draw the attention of others. Your abundant optimism will attract great benefits and resources. You could spend time creating visions for large groups of people and helping them achieve their highest dreams. This will create a new sense of self-worth in them, and in you as well. Your optimism in your love partnership could lead to interesting and exotic travel plans. You love the feeling aliveness and vibrancy travel and spontaneity bring to your life.
