Horoscopes by Holiday for Week of February 28

The week begins under the energetic vigor of the full moon in Virgo, signifying high productivity, intense structure and intricate organization. Neatness will be a favorite focus, making this the ideal moment for early spring cleaning. Instigate new rules to govern domestic and financial choices, such as: Every time you buy something, give something else away. And: Create a place for everything, and put everything in its place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Playing second fiddle isn't such a bad idea when you're learning from the first fiddle or not quite ready to go solo. That said, it's time you graduate from the apprentice role. You're the best person around at what you do, and you deserve to be recognized for it. Get bold, and step into the spotlight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are constantly thinking of the other person and how to make them comfortable. That's why you shouldn't speak ill of yourself. Though self-deprecation can sometimes be endearing, it often makes others uncomfortable. Think highly of yourself, and refrain from commenting on your own abilities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're eager to get on with things, to achieve a measure of success and know what the insiders know. Keep in mind that you don't need to have all of the answers to be happy. In fact, this state of naivete will prove to be the most blissful stage of the game. So savor this time of learning. There's no reason to rush.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Thinking you are right may bring comfort, but not necessarily happiness. Could it be that another person who believes the opposite is just as right in his or her own mind? And if being right means causing rifts and misery, then what's the point? With your open mind, you'll find pleasure and peace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wouldn't it be lovely to be all things to all people? You'd be liked and accepted everywhere. Oh, well, that's not how things work. And you might actually get a kick out of being difficult and causing problems. So be true to yourself, even if it means saying "no" an awful lot. Your troublemaking will have paid off by Friday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can't choose your family. And sometimes it feels as though you can't even choose your friends. Circumstances throw people together, and one thing leads to another. This week, you may suddenly realize you don't have many common interests with a loved one. Let this signal you to develop some.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 23). Winners think like winners. It will be made apparent to you the ways in which you have been undermining your own success by thinking of a situation in limited or negative terms. See the obstacles in your path as opportunities to move forward in a new way — perhaps a way that no one ever has before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Due to your amplified personal magnetism, you will draw intense people and situations to you. You understand what it's like to feel overwhelming emotion; therefore, it doesn't frighten you one bit. And you will be a tremendous help to the passionate souls who find their way to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've built a support system that suits you. It might not look like what someone else has, and it shouldn't. Your needs are different from the needs of those around you. You will appreciate the help and love you get in whatever form it comes. And this week it will come in many different and lovely forms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel overwhelmed by all that needs doing. So if you feel like escaping or putting your head under the covers for much longer than one night's sleep, it's probably because of the sheer volume of tasks facing you. The good news: One thing at a time is all you can do, and is quite enough to move mountains.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you go about the business of being yourself this week, a murmur of approval stirs in your wake. You are often an object of admiration when you do what comes naturally to you. But this week the attention comes with a hint of open wonder in the eyes of your friends and co-workers. You're really wowing them!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people are consumed with a need to prepare for the future. That's because they are afraid that if they let the wind blow them where it will, they'll end up in a bad place. You, however, believe the wind only has your best intentions at heart. You'll trade a measure of security for the promise of adventure.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Your relationships continue to improve — a major contributor to your overall satisfaction and happiness. Your ability to open up to another person and share your heart, a special interest or simply a common space will serve you on a daily basis. New introductions give March some pizzazz. April is your chance to strategically fix finances. You will play expertly in the politics of work. Family members bond this summer. A loved one encourages you to see different parts of the world.
