Horoscopes: Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). This is a lucky day if you know what to do with it. You’ll approach your work with a buoyant, playful spirit. You’ll be a friend and make a friend. You’ll strive with great enthusiasm and tremendous devotion to get it right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Listen hard and you might get the words without the meaning. Listen soft and you’ll get another understanding. Let your mind go fuzzy and feel the emotion that’s being expressed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It doesn’t matter if the goods have to do with your personal gifts or what you have to offer in the world of business. The same rules of salesmanship apply. Provide a solution to the other person’s problem and you’re in.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are aspects of living that make you feel alone in the world, but you also consider solitude to be a natural and tolerable state. To comfortably and independently stand is a key part of being a mature human.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The best relationships grow naturally as you interact in the world together. New relationships are part of your experience now. This will be built through steady gains. Don’t try too hard in the opening stages. Pace yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love doesn’t envy, nor does it boast. You may feel like you’re competing with another for the attention of your love or potential love, and that’s because you are! What kind of game will you play?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Tonight, someone needs your compassion and your instruction. You’ve just completed the lesson this person is going into. Being a guide will reinforce all you’ve learned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Who said learning must be difficult? Sometimes it’s one joy after another. Because you’re open-minded and always seeking your own development, you’ll learn a lesson without pain or inconvenience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love manifests in thought, word and action, and if it doesn’t, it’s not love. You’ll be inspired to look for and strive for spiritual generosity, which requires special effort to both give and receive.
