Aries: Someone might hurl wild requests and demands, and if you get overwhelmed you might just agree to things simply to get them to quiet down. Stay grounded and calm and make no promises you won’t be able to keep.

Taurus: Try not to be shy when a decision needs to be made. Your good humor might not be appreciated by some people when they are on edge or mired in red tape. Waiting becomes easier with plenty of practice.

Gemini: What works best in one situation may not be the answer in other places and other times. Assess the best move all things considered before you act. Be ready when the door to opportunity opens once again.

Cancer: The thing rule-makers seldom explain is that there are times when the rules won’t apply or must be amended. Understand the principles behind the rules so you’ll know when to bend them and when they must be followed.

Leo: Things could seem a bit rocky, but helpful people may well be watching your performance. Demonstrate your abilities and value. If you remain diligent, you should receive real appreciation when the time is right.

Virgo: Maintaining your emotional and spiritual health is sometimes a challenge. Protect your inner wellbeing by staying in your own lane instead of becoming entangled. Don’t take any random nonsense personally.

Libra: When no one budges from their position, discussions stop being constructive. Instead of letting things devolve into a sparring match, find a graceful way to move to another subject until the temperature drops.

Scorpio: You may have thought you spoke clearly. Apparently, so did others, but somehow no one agrees on what was meant. Do your best to explain your position until they understand what you meant to say.

Sagittarius: Protect the secrets entrusted to you. Telling some truths can only end up hurting someone you love. Weigh your revelations carefully and don’t talk out of school. Protect others the way you’d like to be protected.

Capricorn: Comment threads can be fun, cruel, or irrelevant, but they may come from people who cannot do what you could. If you must read them, ignore the mean ones, and don’t take flattering ones too seriously.

Aquarius: If it seems like people are throwing rocks in your path, they may not be concerned about your progress, only their own agendas. It’s not likely intentional or malicious. Try to keep yourself on the smoothest path forward.

Pisces: Forms and paperwork are things that people find most difficult to do and keep up with, no one really loves plowing through all that. Be meticulous on every line of every form so that no one has a reason to dig.

If Feb. 28 is your birthday: The next two weeks could offer times when your popularity rises, and if you are single and in Cinderella cycles, you may even find a lasting love; boosted magnetism could attract the right person. Trustworthiness and charisma can be obvious if you interview for a new job or are up for a promotion. A romantic encounter could have you humming love songs in the second half of March, but you could be susceptible or easily fooled by a new companion. It might be best to work harder than usual to demonstrate your efficiency and steadfast attention to detail. Wait until the dust settles to make irrevocable decisions or changes. Networking and participating in group activities can work to your advantage in April, when people could welcome you with open arms. Your popularity and social activities can be satisfying in May, but you might be fooled by surface appearances, so avoid romantic entanglements.
