People born on February 8 may not necessarily be able to see into the future but they have the ability to shape it with their thoughts and words. They have an intuitive understanding of people and situations, and are often able to spot future trends and then point everybody in that direction.
The hypnotic power that they possess gives them tremendous influence over the people and situations in which they find themselves. This influence often astounds those who may have made more obvious efforts to move things forward and who may have dismissed them as dreamers.
Perhaps because they are aware of their influence over and responsibility toward others, those born on this day can come across as grave or serious. They can tolerate but don’t really enjoy chit-chat and much prefer to get their teeth into life’s problems. As a result they often find themselves the treasured confidant of friends and loved ones. On the downside, in personal relationships there is both a passive side to them, as well as a shadow side that draws them toward people who aren’t good for them. Fortunately, although there are opportunities earlier, in their early forties there is a significant turning point which can help them become more self-aware and assertive.
The profound sensitivity and intuitive powers of these people mean that they can effortlessly tune into the moods of others. They also run the risk of over-identifying with another person’s problems and can easily fall into the worry trap, although few people will notice as they tend to conceal their true feelings to avoid being hurt. It is important for them to learn where other people end and they begin.
When people born on this day find a project that captures their interest they have all the drive and determination they need to succeed; procrastination will become a thing of the past. They can think on a grand scale, and once they learn how to project success they may well find that their bright ideas lead to great progress and reform.

People born on February 8 may find it hard to give their all in a relationship as they can often be preoccupied with their thoughts and with the problems of others. Their partner may feel as if they are being excluded since these people can tend to live in a world of their own ideas. Once they find a partner who can nurture them as much as they nurture others, they can become an extremely loyal, loving and happy partner.
Health Avoid self-destructive behavior
People born on this day can sometimes take an irresponsible approach to their health; indulging in too much rich food, partying and sensual pleasures. They may also be a little lazy and should learn that too much sleep can be as bad for their health as too little. They also need to learn that too much pleasure and not enough responsibility can lead them toward weight problems, drug problems and infections. A healthy balanced diet and plenty of exercise along with meditation to help them become aware of their self-destructive tendencies are highly recommended. Wearing, meditating or sur-rounding themselves with the color green and listening to upbeat music will help bring calm, chasing worries and anxieties away.
Career Born psychics
These people may not become psychics but they will have great intuitive powers to put to use in their chosen career, although they tend to thrive best in careers where they are allowed a lot of freedom. Their ability to see the bigger picture and project ahead makes them excellent designers, property developers, stock market traders, and architects. They may also be intellectuals, planners, or weather forecasters. Their empathy and communication skills may draw them toward careers in education, advertising, the media, or even the arts, where they can excel in writing, acting, and music.
Destiny To bring greater harmony and understanding to the world
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to set clear boundaries between themselves and others. Once they understand the impact they have on others and the impact others have on them their destiny is to bring greater harmony and understanding to the world.

Keep your cool
Keeping your cool creates luck because others will respect you, meaning you are less likely to have enemies; lucky people, by definition, have few enemies.
People born on February 9 are independent and generous individuals with their own unique and at times non-conformist perspective on life. They are shrewd observers of human nature and capable of enormous understanding of others’ problems. Above all, though, they are fighters; life may have given them a few knocks but they have managed to bounce back with resilience, and this winning attitude can lead them to great achievements.
The remarkable ability of people born on this day to understand people and situations, even those they have not met themselves, makes them much sought after for advice and support. They make great teachers and leaders, and they influence and inspire not so much by technique but by example, showing others through their own actions how to rise above challenges with a winning attitude.
Yet when it comes to applying that same penetrating insight to their own lives and relationships they tend to be overly critical, measuring themselves by an impossibly high ideal. It is important for them to learn to be as tolerant and supportive of themselves as they are of others. Before the age of forty the needs and approval of others tend to be dominant but at the age of forty there is a turning point which places a greater emphasis on self-awareness and acceptance, as well as a need to take the initiative in all areas of their lives, possibly with a new relationship or venture.
The strong presence of people born on this day can sometimes make people think of them as aggressive, but behind this they possess a soft side that takes rejection and criticism to heart. They also have a tendency to act rashly; they need to remain calm under pressure and not allow their good will to be exploited. Once they are able to regard themselves more positively—and to be less harsh in their self-criticism—they will be able to achieve the high goals they set themselves, in the process becoming an inspirational model to everyone lucky enough to wander across their path.
On the dark side
