Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for today: Thursday February 8, 2024

Aries

March 21 to April 20

A dream could linger as the day gathers pace, bringing insights that may be startling and intriguing. If it gets you thinking, this is all to the good and it might encourage a life-changing decision. Expect some restlessness too, as the Sun forges an edgy angle with Uranus, which can lead to an impulsive purchase. A pause for thought could assist you in making a wise choice, Aries.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

As the more ambitious tones of the Aquarius Sun clash with freedom-loving energies, you’ll be best to start out by knuckling down to any chores on your to-do list. Once completed, sparkling aspects encourage you to set your imagination free and enjoy a chance to unwind. And with romance in the air, a date or outing with a loved one can add a special note to the day ahead.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Unleash the spirit of adventure, and take advantage of an inquisitive outlook to explore ideas and experiences that may be a revelation. You might be nervous to accept an offer or opportunity that involves a learning curve and some disruption, but it could be good for you anyway. Sometimes it’s worth stepping beyond our limits, and if you go ahead, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Been out of touch with your feelings? If so, a personal issue may need attention. A soothing blend of energies including dreamy Neptune hints that by discussing a delicate matter with a friend a shift may occur that can help you be more relaxed and at peace. And, allowing emotions to emerge and embracing them as they do, could be cathartic and healing in the long-term.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Will you, or won’t you? Even though the idea of commitment may leave you anxious, you could lose out if you waver. The Sun’s angle with Uranus in an ambitious zone can coincide with an offer that comes out of the blue. If you think about it for too long, you might miss this chance. It may be a fear of failure that deters you, but make your move and any regrets will fade away.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Being organised can allow your creative abilities to flourish, as you may be about to discover. Venus in her current phase could be great for channelling brilliant ideas and giving them form. You might decide to give an old idea a makeover and a new lease of life, which can work well. Devise a plan and pin it down to a time and a place, and you’ll be thrilled by the results, Virgo.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

A tie between the Aquarius Sun and individualistic Uranus, could spotlight a conflict concerning a project or even a budding romance. Will you go down the usual route or perhaps try something a little more cutting-edge? A compromise between the two can hit the right note without being too way out. Need to relax? The cosmos suggests a spa treatment or some pampering, Libra.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Find the days slipping away and doing far less than anticipated? It may be because you need to set boundaries and firm up your routines. And though lively aspects can gift you with much outgoing energy, this might be wasted if it isn’t harnessed in a way that helps you accomplish your goals. Plus, an encounter with someone eccentric but fascinating could make your day, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

This could be a day of surprises and some disruption that might work out better than expected. The Sun makes a zesty angle to Uranus in your sector of organisation, so something you had planned may not turn out as hoped. And yet because of this and the detour you take as a result, you could net yourself an opportunity or enjoy an encounter that brings out the best in you.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

The idea of taking a risk could appeal. Is it worth it though? It all depends on what it is. With the Sun squaring off with unpredictable Uranus, there’s a chance that if something could go wrong it will. At the same time, nothing ventured means nothing gained. As long as you aren’t going to lose out big time in a way that jeopardises your security or happiness, it might just work.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

This is one of those times when you’ll be craving something different that shakes things up. If you have the inclination, then a break from routine could be very good for you. Of course, there’s also the chance that something will occur that provides more than enough excitement anyway. An unexpected visitor or other surprise might mean the next few hours are very interesting.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Ready to experiment with ideas and opportunities that can make a positive difference? Some of these could hold a small risk, but you’ll enjoy the challenge of putting yourself in a new situation and seeing what happens. On a personal note, you might be very protective of information about someone you care for. It may be your influence that prevents gossip from spreading, Pisces.
