Horoscopes

Who to Trust: With people close to us, trust is built moment by moment. We see them under pressure, in joy and boredom, in disagreement and routine. It's not who shows up in kindness that matters. It's who shows up in kindness even when it's hard. The square of Venus and Uranus suggests we assess reliability based on history and present conduct, as the truth of character is an aggregate of the two.

today's birthday

Feb. 8

It's your Year of Receptivity, when you hoist the sail of joy and let the wind do the rest. Receiving fuel, inspiration, help, love and more puts you in entirely different territory.

More highlights: Relationships flourish with fun and togetherness. Family expands. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 18, 7, 31 and 44.

aries

March 21-April 19

Today brings the same old scene but with brand-new emotions. Your feelings are just one part of you talking to another part of you. There's no need to broadcast the message now because it feels special and safe to work it out in your own private world.

libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 23

Trust yourself. You're trustworthy! And if you doubt it, trust yourself anyway and forge ahead as if you have every reason to believe you'll get there eventually. Confidence is attractive, so you'll magnetize whatever you need to make things happen.

taurus

April 20-May 20

Why tolerate a stale environment when there is so much out there that could inspire you? Wonder is possible, and it's likely, but you have to move. Any direction will do. You don't have to go far. You just have to go.

scorpio

Oct. 24-Nov. 21

Socializing in any way whatsoever will fall under the category of building your network. It's an extremely productive way to use your time today, even though it looks, from the outside, like a lot of fun — also true!

gemini

May 21-June 21

Self-censoring is smart when it's part of the job, aids a negotiation or upholds the level of professionalism required. Hopefully, though, you don't have to hold back with your nearest and dearest. Who can you really be yourself around?

sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Self-compassion isn't only about finding comfort and stability when things go wrong; it's also about placing yourself in environments where things are very likely to go right. Play the low-stakes game and get a few wins under your belt.

June 22-July 22

Adding complicates. Subtracting simplifies. What can you ditch today? Sell it, give it away, toss it or drop it — boom, done. That's the move that'll actually make your life better.

capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You're in no mood to explain yourself, and it's better anyway if you don't. Your enigmatic presence will be powerfully felt. People will bring their imagination to your story, and they will feel oddly attached to their version of you.

leo

July 23-Aug. 22

Life is moving too fast to make gradual moves today. Get caught up in the swirl. There's no reason to resist. Sudden disruptions are working in your favor. You'll adapt as quickly as you need to.

aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Imagine the very ground beneath you loving you the way a good parent loves their child. You belong to this place, and you can feel it on a primal level today as you move the world and the world moves you.

virgo

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

It's not fair to treat everyone the same because everyone is different, with different needs and expectations. Instead, you aim for peaceful dealings, staying aware of what that requires given the person involved and the situation at hand.

pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

You'll receive indirect requests, soft invitations and mere hints that others are seeking your company. Tune in or miss out, because following subtle suggestions will lead to some of the most promising and interesting connections.
