Horoscopes by Holiday-Week of February 21

During the solar rule of Pisces, the spiritual nature of this material world is increasingly apparent. For some, the material world seems somehow less real than the ethereal realms of love, imagination and celestial possibilities. Finding a balance is the key to achieving any kind of productivity this week. Stay grounded by feeding yourself well, moving your breath through exercise and touching nature in some way every day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can't possibly start out with a proper perspective on your situation. It's only natural that you would see things too closely. To free yourself, you must make the effort to detach and rise above the situation. Reading about how other people in the world are living will help you gain a healthier and more empowering view.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone is on your mind, and the feelings aren't resolved. In theory, you might enjoy it if this person ached to be near you. However, in actuality, you would only be pleased for a few minutes, and then you would be seriously annoyed. Things are the way they are for a reason. Your current status is a good one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could argue with reality, but that would be silly. It is what it is, and wanting it to be different won't change a thing. But if you can close your eyes and go somewhere beautiful for a few minutes, you'll find that when you open them again, things will have changed. Your absence and presence alters destiny.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll be on the move. Exercise helps you work out your life, especially walking. When you journey through the streets, your mind walks through ideas. You may not even be conscious of the process, but with each step you'll get a little more clear about what you think, how you want to behave and what to do next.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's a fine line between self-care and self-involvement. Can you nurture yourself without becoming overly focused on all things "you"? This week brings a good balance. The fact is that you've been giving like crazy and now it's time to give to yourself. The good you do for yourself, you will simultaneously be doing for others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don't mind confronting people with the truth, and you certainly aren't afraid to do so. That's why it's important to use good judgment this week. There's a lot that doesn't need to be said. Your actions will say it all, especially if you simply walk away in favor of finding company with those you know you can trust.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 23). You'll have your feelers out, looking for new connections. Your network will grow this week, and it's your job to make sure it grows in a way that will enhance your life. Consider the basic nature of people before you befriend them. If you choose nice people, then later you won't have to tell anyone to be nice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's natural, from time to time, to feel depleted by life. It will happen during this busy week, and you can take this as a signal to stop everything and dip into your greatest energy source — the love in your heart. The love inside you has the potential to change the world. Of course, you have to give it away first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll see a way to improve things, but it may not be your place to speak up about it. Or perhaps the timing is just wrong. But rest assured, there are a few other people thinking the same thing you are thinking about the situation. So when you feel the moment is right to speak up, you'll have support.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A project is wearing on your nerves. Is this really something you can learn from? Will it really put more money or more beauty into your world? Hopefully, you have encouraging friends who will reiterate to you that this is not a lost cause. There is something great and workable in your endeavor. Do not give up yet!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll solve a mystery. You'll get instinctual knowledge, but will be unable to substantiate it right away. You'll be correct, and yet the others may not agree. So take your information and lay it out in front of you. Examine all of the pieces, and figure out how they fit together. Friday brings a satisfying answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're working on something big, and it's probably starting to affect your domestic life, relationships and job. What's going on in your inner world is more important than keeping up around the house. Friends start to wonder about you, and the boss casts suspicious glances. Follow through with your ideas. Make it real.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You'll stand independently when you need to prove something. And you'll also work harmoniously with others, as teamwork is your preferred way of getting things done. A loving relationship develops in an even more supportive direction over the next 10 weeks. Your project gets a green light in March. April brings a stroke of financial good fortune. You could move into a new home or refinance the one you have in June. July brings together family and friends for an important celebration.
