The Birthday of the Original Charmer
“My life is an exciting ride”
The life lesson: is to rein in your impulses.
The way forward: is discovering willpower, and understanding that nothing makes you think, say, feel or do anything. You are in charge.
Luck maker: Practice an attitude of gratitude. Appreciate what you have and how far you have come.
Those born on February 28 can light up the world with their energy and originality. Natural performers, they are never short of admirers and are blessed with the ability to charm just about anyone. Articulate and entertaining, they go out of their way to get a laugh or reaction from others, even if this involves exaggerating the truth. They thrive on being noticed, but attention-seeking isn’t what drives them. Their motivation is a thirst for adventure. Underlying their restlessness, however, is a deep-seated fear of standing still, and this fear drives them toward sensation-seeking and self-destructive behavior. Underneath their bravado they secretly long to find a real purpose. This won’t be possible until they discover that self-esteem is not created by thrill-seeking but by being content with who they are.
Born travelers, these adventurous people thrive in careers that offer them variety and an opportunity to indulge their curiosity, such as gaming, travel, tourism, science, research, modeling, vlogging, sports and teaching, and they can also thrive in management or business. Later in life they may be drawn to the caring or helping professions as well as to the arts, writing and the entertainment industry. They live in the fast lane and setting aside regular time for rest and relaxation helps them avoid burnout. For self-care, wearing, meditating on or surrounding yourself with the color purple will encourage you to look within for inspiration, rather than without.
These people need to learn to be more comfortable with being rather than doing, because, until they find inner calm, their life may hurtle chaotically from one situation and one person to another. They should learn to cultivate this inner calm before their early fifties, when there is an emphasis in their life on new directions. They experience life more intensely than others, but it is vital they rein in their compulsion to indulge every whim. They should never suppress their optimism and curiosity, but if they can just look before they leap, they can become far more than original charmers; their destiny is to become life’s pioneers, boldly going where none have gone before.
