For Friday, Feb. 8:

This year you will alternate between being reclusive and being open and friendly with others. During the times you spend alone, you will center yourself and become more grounded. If you are single, you could change that status quo, if you so choose. If you are attached, your sweetie finds you to be unusually magnetic and caring this year.
