They are gifted yet may be riddled with self-doubts. These problems are exacerbated by the fact that they have difficulty expressing their feelings through words.

Friends and Lovers

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.

Children and Family

Even when they do not feel bound to family members, people born on January 8 are generous to them. They may have had a strict upbringing from which they lapsed in adulthood, creating guilt and dishonor. They make doting parents, anxious to give their children material as well as spiritual riches.

Health

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.

Career and Finances

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.

Dreams and Goals

January 8 people may dream big, but their goal is to understand their motivations. This is not always easy because they are seldom in touch with their core self. If they manage to integrate the two sides of their nature, they can achieve any goal.
