January 8 Birthday Astrology

Because of their basic distrust of others' motives, it is hard for January 8 people to make friends. If trust is breached, the friendship is likely to end. They have a powerful love nature. They are romantics who demand total devotion. Even if they are not especially attractive they can cast a spell, drawing lovers to them with ease.

Although January 8 people love food, they are not interested in learning healthful ways to prepare it. They may have food issues dating from childhood that need to be reconciled. Exercise can be a physically as well as emotionally safe way to work out their aggressions and stress.

People born on this date need to feel they are in control of their destiny. Unfortunately, they sometimes take the easy way, allowing family connections to dictate their path. Although they know the value of a dollar, they enjoy spending money lavishly. They indulge themselves and are generous with friends and loved ones.
