In Tarot, the Major Arcana's card for the eighth day is Strength, which indicates that this creature should try to avoid forcing anything forward in their lives. Relaxing into what happens to you usually makes everything clear.
Sun Sign: Aquarius/Uranus
Decanate: Aquarius/Mercury; Numbers: 1, 8
This is one of the more contemplative Aquarians. While many February 8 people are forced to live in urban centres because of jobs, their preference is for wide open spaces and green hills. In city centres they try to make their homes an oasis of peace, decorating the walls in soft dove greys, gentle warm blues and on occasion fantastic sky blue and pink combinations which are breathtaking but always harmonious.
Many born today are music lovers, preferring to listen to Classic FM while they paint their homes, rather than a rock station. Find a state of the art sound system in their room and somewhere there's usually a musical instrument, particularly the piano and flute, much loved by the great god Pan, caretaker of woods and fields. Expect also to find poetry on the book shelves.
In any kind of work, February 8 is often extremely successful. They are nice to people, easygoing about rules and regulations, great smoothers-over at the workplace and have something extra to offer. A snappy way with words may take them into television or advertising, PR or retailing and an easy capacity for organising makes any place they run fun rather than onerous. Naturally they like to be rewarded properly, so don't mistake February 8's compliant ways as a sign of the pushover. Try paying them too little and they'll push you over.
Not necessarily people who need marriage, they may form lifelong faithful partnerships, but can live the single life with joy and cope with single parenthood better than many. But what they need and enjoy most is some solitude and life in the country suits them best. With a patch of garden, time to think and be creative, many will take to writing for a living. And some of the women may be exquisite potters, embroiderers or patchwork quilt-makers, enjoying the easy companionship of country neighbours and the sound of church bells pacing the hours.
Those born on this day are ambitious, highly motivated workaholics.
Usually you’re so wrapped up in your own ideas, you have little time left over for the niceties of love and romance. Half your head is seeking a traditional love relationship while the other half wants independence without regard to parameters. As a result, you seesaw back and forth between the two extremes. Eventually you will have to make a decision and jump off on one side or the other. But until you find someone who understands you and accepts your ultrabusy lifestyle, you are pretty content to go your own way.
There is a very un-Aquarian aspect to your sexuality that produces strong physical desires. While your mind pines for intellectual companionship of the highest order, your body craves sexual fulfillment. The mental conflict between idealism and flights of erotic fancy can be quite confusing. You need to learn to relax, let go, and allow the sensual half of your nature to take control. Initially, the conservative within you may be disconcerted, but in the long run both you and your partner will be more content.
February 8 adores summer entertaining chiefly for the pleasure of decorating a table, preferably one out of doors. Scattered leaves and flowers look beautiful on a summery white cotton tablecloth, especially white hydrangea florets, white roses, and daisies mixed with mint sprigs, bay leaves, rosemary and darkly shiny ivy tendrils. For a touch of drama tuck in the occasional pink or dark-red busy lizzie flower and maybe some brilliant nasturtiums. Wind ivy around white linen napkins, winding a length of cord over the stem and tying the ends together on the underside to hold it in place.
Beneath your cool façade, there is a smoldering volcano about to blow. It actually doesn’t take all that much to turn your imagination from your ordinary dreams of professional success to exotic sexual fantasies. Some music, a glass of wine, a little stroking, and a few whispered suggestions should do the trick.

You have difficulty expressing your true feelings, and at times you seem rather cold and distant. When you demand reassurances from your beloved, what you’re really seeking is proof of love. You may not be the easiest person to love, but when you’ve satisfied your need for emotional security, you make a loyal, devoted mate.
