For Wednesday, Feb. 8:

This year you unravel a long-term issue by remaining gentle and caring. Others feel safer with you, no matter what type of relationship you have. If you are single, you might see a change in a major relationship, waving on more of what you want. If you are attached, don’t test your sweetie’s patience. VIRGO understands you perhaps far too well.
