If you don’t believe that you deserve the best, you won’t allow good things into your life. Believe that you deserve the best right now and you will get it.
People born on February 24 have an intuitive, generous and loving spirit that makes them a much-sought-after friend, acquaintance or partner. Highly romantic, they sometimes see the world through the eyes of a poet blinded by the power of love. Intimacy is extremely important to them—without it they can wither and pine away like the hero or heroine in a romantic novel.
Those born on this day are highly sensitive to their environment and they are constantly tuning into the moods of others and the situations going on around them. This makes them good peacemakers and valuable members of a team or family, as they can often spot trouble or find ways to resolve a situation without offending anyone. The danger lies when they concentrate on the emotional needs of others rather than on their own. It is vital for them to set boundaries in their interpersonal relationships. This won’t be easy for them, and they may even bend the truth if they think it will avoid an argument. In the long run, this kind of evasive and dishonest behavior can make them feel anxious and uncertain. Fortunately, between the ages of twenty-six and fifty-six there are opportunities for them to develop their assertiveness and to be more straightforward in their relationships. Then, after the age of fifty-six, they become even steadier and more mature.
The longing for intimacy or emotional connection possessed by these people always rules their life in some way. They may have tried to suppress emotional traumas in the past, but, whatever their background or experience, these will somehow manifest themselves, perhaps in a quest for the perfect partner or in a passionate devotion to a cause.
People born on this day have a desire to use their energies selflessly on behalf of others. Once they have learned that love isn’t just about pain, but also about joy, and that intimacy is not just about sacrificing and giving, but also about receiving and gaining, they will discover within themselves the tenacity and vision to achieve just about anything.

Love
People born on February 24 throw themselves wholeheartedly into relationships and may end up giving too much with very little in return. For their relationships to be satisfying, they need to learn to love themselves first. Once they are able to do that, they will find the soul mate they are pining for.
Health
People born on this day need to be careful that they don’t relax into a life of sensual pleasure, rich food, addiction, and very little exercise. They may have disorders involving the legs, feet and circulatory system; most of these could be avoided with an active lifestyle. It is very important for them to find ways to incorporate more exercise into their lives; for example, taking the stairs instead of the lift, walking around the block in their lunch hour, carrying rather than pushing their shopping, and so on. They should also watch their intake of red meat, alcohol, saturated fats, and sugar, especially chocolate. To stop cravings for sweet foods they should try smelling vanilla essential oil; wearing or meditating on the color blue will help calm and soothe them when they feel emotional.
Career
These people often find themselves drawn to art, music, writing, dance, poetry, and the entertainment world in general. Sensitive to color and pattern, they may also express themselves through design, in particular costume design, styling or the beauty business. Because they are so talented in dealing with people, any career which sees them in the role of mediator, adviser, counselor, agent, manager, or negotiator will suit, as will social reform, humanitarian or charity work, teaching and health careers.
Destiny
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to love and give to themselves as much as they are willing to give to others. Once they can do that, their destiny is to help and heal others and—by so doing—make the world a more loving and giving place.

Luck maker
Know when to pounce

Although people born on February 25 have a high degree of self-confidence and are fiercely individualistic, they often believe that the collective is more important than the personal. They can be radical in their desire to right social wrongs, being selfless in the pursuit of their goals. There is a touch of the guru about them, in that they desire not only to master their own destiny but to help others master theirs.
People born on this day never try to be anything by themselves. They have a simple, unaffected style that can cross boundaries, helping them relate to people from all walks of life. Everyone they meet is impressed by their honesty, optimism and desire to make a difference. As a result, they are good team players, preferring to take the role of advisor or guru rather than leader. They are the consultants with the winning formula, the brilliant teachers guiding and inspiring the next generation, the coaches who dedicate themselves to the welfare of the team, the directors with their eye on what the camera and the world see.
These people are often found working their magic on the sidelines; nothing gives them more satisfaction than engineering success for others. They can come across as silent and detached, but to those who know them well they are capable of making the most profound and helpful observations. They should beware, however, that they do not turn their greatest strengths into weaknesses by becoming so lost in the world of thought that they become secretive, negative and out of touch with reality. Fortunately, between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-four they become more self-assertive, experiencing an occasional need to step from the shadows onto center stage. Then, after the age of fifty-four, they seek more calm and steadiness in their lives.
Above all, February 25 individuals have a team-player mentality, a profound sense of justice and a desire to help the worthy win. This is a powerful combination that can inspire others to transform difficult circumstances into something better.
On the dark side
Obsessed, unrealistic, secretive
At your best
Intense, spiritual, ambitious
Love
There is a tendency for people born on February 25 to play it quite cool when it comes to affairs of the heart, perhaps because they have been hurt or let down in the past. It is of vital importance for them to experience passion, and to learn to give and take in a relationship. Playing it safe, for once, isn’t recommended. When they see an opportunity for love and intimacy, they should embrace it.
Health
People born on this day are capable of great self-sacrifice and discipline and as a result they may neglect their health and well-being in the process. It is important for them to remember that the physical aspect of life is just as important as the mental. They should make sure their diet contains a wide variety of healthy foods and that they get plenty of moderate exercise, such as cycling, running and swimming. They also need to make sure they get plenty of rest to give their overactive brains a period of quiet reflection. Wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color red will help make them feel more passionate and energetic.
Career
These people are born teachers, gurus, guides, coaches, advisors, counselors, psychologists, mentors, and any other career that involves inspiring and guiding others toward success. If they wish to explore their creative potential, they may find themselves drawn toward careers in writing or art; if they wish to explore their spirituality, they may be drawn toward careers in religion or philosophy. Other careers that might suit include health care, administration and social reform.
