Quick to spot opportunities, you have a practical outlook and organizational skills. These, coupled with drive and determination, inspire you to think on a grand scale and to project success.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Gemini, you love to communicate, whether through speaking or writing. An exceptional thinker, you have the ability to acquire information and knowledge from many sources and to present your ideas in an original and interesting way. With a touch of the mad genius, you can be mentally inspired and become quite excitable. Often ahead of your time, you have inventive and progressive ideas. A rebellious streak can be reflected in your appearance or lifestyle, but sometimes it can become a problem, especially if you become too eccentric or stubborn.
Being confident and friendly ensures that you are lucky in people-related activities. With your astute mentality, you can learn skills quickly, but a tendency to become easily bored suggests that misunderstandings with others can occur if you do not take the time to listen. Nevertheless, because you seek harmonious relationships with others, you are intuitive about people and your environment.
While you are between the ages of twelve and forty-one, when your progressed Sun moves through Pisces, your emotional sensitivity becomes emphasized and you develop a stronger sense of vision.

At the age of seventy-two there is another turning point as your progressed Sun enters Taurus, accenting a need for more financial stability and security.

Inherent in February 8 people is a curious mixture of extreme intuition and technical flair which, if balanced, can make them extraordinarily successful in the world of the arts—especially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the tiger. Of further benefit to them in their musical, artistic, dramatic or literary pursuits are their strong imaginative powers, which, in combination with their instinctive ability to assess a situation and their gift of interpretation, will delight their audiences with their originality. Although intellectual freedom is as vital to these people as the air that is their element, they do not limit this requirement to themselves alone and are always ready to respect and consider other people’s opinions. Furthermore, they shrink from confrontation, and therefore generally seek to smooth over conflict by finding a compromise.
It is their profound—occasionally almost psy- chic—sensitivity that drives these people to try to create peace and harmony around them. They delight others with their unique sense of humor and refresh- ing company, although they remain reserved and avoid personal topics of conversation. Their ability to effort- lessly attune themselves to the moods of other peo- ple, as well as their limitless imaginations, leads them not only to identify themselves with others’ situations, but also to envisage possibly negative future scenarios. Thus the easy-going façade that they generally adopt may mask a deep sense of distress and emotional tur- moil. Their friends and partners should therefore give them unquestioning support and understanding in order to create the stable, loving background which is so important to them.
