ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Which guy is better for me, a Taurus, Leo or Scorpio? I don't know whom to choose. My birthday is Feb. 22, 1979."
You'll experience many changes in the next three years, so whomever you choose, it'll be nice if you don't make decisions about this person that will affect you for years to come. The summer calls for light, casual decisions. Taureans appreciate beauty like you do, and he probably makes you feel like a princess, too. Don't manipulate Taurus, this is dangerous! You and Leo make a strong connection, but you are too dissimilar to truly want the same things this early in your life. You may be angered by his flirtatious nature, but at the same time, you love when others see how attractive he is and admire his accomplishments. Scorpio is the best match for Pisces in terms of passionate intensity. A word of warning. Always take him seriously, and give him plenty of space. At the summer's end, progress on the career front will put love on the back burner, but by that time, you might look forward to a change of pace while you develop yourself in other ways. Good luck, young Pisces!
