November Monthly Horoscope for Scorpio by Eric Francis
Jupiter has arrived in your sign for one year. If there's such a thing as an astrological need, this fulfills one: for Scorpio to have an infusion of water (provided by the Jupiter connection to Pisces) and of spiritual leavening (provided by its connection to Sagittarius). The last time a major planet visited your sign was the Mars retrograde of 2016, which was not exactly wet and juicy; Saturn, for part of 2015, was not exactly a ripe mango, either. Now you have extra resources to work with, and room to maneuver. You're likely to be feeling more optimistic; not just about life but about who you are. That's most of what you need to go on in life. When you feel good about yourself, you can accomplish just about anything. At the end of the year, another planetary move will have a similar effect: Saturn enters Capricorn, which will take the brakes off of your self-esteem. Between now and then, however, you must fully claim your self-respect; something you've been struggling to do in recent years (with some success). You will know you're doing this because you feel demonstrably better about yourself. You will be less defensive, and more supportive of the people around you. You'll be more interested in whether you've kept your promises to others than whether they've kept their promises to you. That's true self-confidence.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 28
(The Day of Research) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Take special care to discern what is true from what is false. Make an effort to be truthful in all that you say and do. Take the time to understand your feelings before you act on them. All of this is part of a commitment to being impeccably honest, especially with yourself. You've learned that there's no happier way to live, and no more fulfilling.
Written in the Planets
It would seem that you're being shown the threshold you can (must?) cross into a new phase of life, and also the best strategy for doing so. It's likely this is being shown by another person, or through a relationship dynamic -- possibly even through confrontation, though it could feel more like a dance. With the Scorpio Sun making an opposition today to asteroid Pallas and unnamed object 1992 QB1 in Taurus, certain themes are being emphasized in this situation. Although the physical, material or values-related parts of the threshold and the plan seem to come through someone else, the emotional awareness, expression and transformation needed are all up to you. Go ahead -- Jupiter still has your back, and the signs involved are juicy.
Introducing the 20th Annual Edition of Planet Waves
Growth Is Inevitable. Becoming Is an Art Form.
Dear Friend of Planet Waves:
Here's the thing: Life goes on. No matter how crazy the world is, we who are alive must keep on living. And that means we must keep growing and becoming.
The more chaotic the world becomes, the more we need a tool that can help us spot the patterns in the chaos -- and that would be astrology. I have long considered astrology just one resource among many potentially useful ones, though with each passing day, the gift of pattern recognition, and how these patterns relate to our lives, is a service that astrology is uniquely suited to provide.
|
Me, at my music desk in The Place of the Way, my new studio. |
I have begun preparing THE ART OF BECOMING, the 20th annual edition of Planet Waves. This letter will tell you more about the project, which, if all goes reasonably well, will be delivered during the month of January.
Brief note on pricing policy: we offer the best price for those who purchase sooner. The lowest price point will hold through late Saturday night EDT, and increase in $11 increments till we reach the final pre-order price.
My annual readings provide not only insight but spiritual and psychological leverage. I am not here to predict the future, but rather to help you design your future. The project began as an extended January monthly horoscope; it's now more like an astrological novel, written with the pacing and detail of well-crafted fiction writing.
My focus is on love and work: your relationship to yourself, followed by your relationship to others; your professional activities, financial matters and tapping your creativity.
In the end, I consider myself a motivational presenter. I see my job as helping you get excited about your own potential, and describing the specific ways you can manifest your desires into reality.
In the next section, I will describe some of the transits I'll be writing about in THE ART OF BECOMING. I present these events in human language, using technical terms only as necessary -- and explaining everything as I go. As a journalist, I write to be understood.
This is astrology written for humans, in human language, using concrete examples and images.

Daily Horoscope for October 28, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Take special care to discern what is true from what is false. Make an effort to be truthful in all that you say and do. Take the time to understand your feelings before you act on them. All of this is part of a commitment to being impeccably honest, especially with yourself. You've learned that there's no happier way to live, and no more fulfilling. You share a birthday with Sheryl Underwood, Julia Roberts and Matt Smith.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take important decisions to a group, if only to get opinions. You will give people a sense of ownership of whatever you're doing, and you will benefit from viewpoints that you may have missed. Keep an open mind and knowledge will come to you in abundance. How you use it is up to you.
"Self-awareness, both of your thoughts and of your conduct, is your most powerful tool to influence your experience of growth into the new forms that you are. This includes reaching deep enough into yourself that you make some contact with the aspect of you that is timeless and changeless."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're aware that whatever group, organization or company you're affiliated with needs to go in new directions. Be grateful if it's the kind of outfit that actually cares what you say, and honors your contributions. If that's true, be bold about making suggestions, even if they're not used.
"There is a genuine skill in creative mastery that involves standing back from judging what you’ve created. You might listen to what other people say; you might work until what you’re doing feels good; you might take a swashbuckling attitude and not care; you might trust the fact that you always strive to do better (or any of these at the right moment)."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You will find it especially easy to convey your ideas into some tangible form. This will work if you're writing a record album, or if you're reorganizing your apartment. Everything you do is subject to your creative imagination. Make the world beautiful, and never waste your time on boredom.
"You're the one who has to negotiate between your potential and what you do with it. This is an active, everyday challenge being a Gemini. The world can seem so much bigger than you are, and in one way it is -- but your mind is the thing that encompasses the world, all the world’s people and all your experiences there."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- The Moon is working its way through the sign Aquarius tonight, which continues to nudge you in the direction of groups of people with whom you truly have something in common. There's been a major shift in the energy lately, and you'll learn a lot floating from gathering to gathering.
"Notice your true feelings for people and make peace with the fact that you feel that way. You may have had a habit of resisting intimacy, and now you have little choice but to yield and open up to allowing others to touch your soul. In this way, you will come to the direct experience of growing into the soul dimension of your life."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- It's easier to communicate than it may seem. Many young people feel like there's some crazy risk involved in opening up, though it's a risk that pays benefits. Translate your feelings into words, listen to the feedback you get, and keep the dialog going for a while. You'll discover that it's fun.
"Rather than thinking of yourself as the entity that holds all the planets in orbit, think of yourself as someone who grounds the Sun into the Earth. This is actually what you do in the physical and spiritual sense, and it grants you some relief from the much larger responsibility of providing all the power and all the gravity."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You are under strong aspects for building long-term financial prospects, though your success depends upon factors that come from you. These include your ability to negotiate; honoring your communications, and your commitments; and promising only what you know you can deliver.
"There comes that time in any growth or improvement project where you have to ease back, have a glass of wine or even smoke a cigarette. Radical, I know. However, you’re at a stage of your life where you must follow your own rules, and to do that, your rules must be practical and workable."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Even if you have a strong opinion about something, you might want to take a survey of a few intelligent people you trust. Everyone will have a different response, though you may notice that they all have a little something in common. That's the thing to take notice of.
"Rather than being a clear mirror, relationships can often feel like a house of smoke and mirrors. This is especially a concern due to the experience of projection: ascribing to others feelings that are actually your own. Anais Nin is credited with saying, 'We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are.'"

Scorpio Birthdays 2017-18
What Will You Do with Your Astonishing Potential This Year?
Dear Scorpio Friend and Reader:
With today's Sun-Jupiter conjunction in your sign, your solar year is beginning with astonishing potential. That might feel ironic, given the state of the world around you: there's a lot of pain, destruction and chaos out there. But who better than a Scorpio to transmute that energy with pure passion, to get the emotional waters flowing again -- both within yourself and, as it ripples out, in those closest to you?
Depending on how your year is going, that might feel exciting or it might feel daunting. Either way, you can have a trusted guide by your side in the form of Eric Francis and your 2017-18 Scorpio Birthday Reading.
Eric will be covering the truly fortunate transit of Jupiter through your sign for the next year (you'll want to tap into that big ball of goodness as consciously as possible while it's there!) -- as well as several other major-planet sign changes in the coming months. With Saturn, Uranus and Chiron on the move, your environment will be shifting.
In particular, Uranus entering your opposite sign and 'relationship house' -- Taurus -- could bring some surprises over the next few years. As a fixed sign, you may do better at handling the unexpected (and your partners) with a little heads up. It gives you time to get oriented on the inherent creative potential, and to channel your energy and emotion in deeply productive ways.
Your reading will include two astrology segments of at least 30 minutes each, plus a tarot reading using the Voyager Tarot by James Wanless (you also get an extended description of your sign). Recorded in pro-quality audio, you can listen as many times as you like.
And, you'll want to: Eric designs these readings to combine the best of his motivational life-coaching skills; the best of his therapy training; and the most down-to-Earth, practical, jargon-free astrological insights you'll find anywhere on the internet.
If you'd like to secure your full reading at the lowest possible price of $33, you'll want to pre-order the 2017-18 Scorpio Birthday Reading here. And you'll want to do it soon: the price will increase as publication nears, and then will increase again upon publication of the full reading.
How will you use the blessings of Jupiter in your sign this year, Scorpio?
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
P.S. If you know and love anyone with a Scorpio Sun, Moon or rising sign, the 2017-18 Scorpio Birthday Reading makes an incredible gift.
 "The self-esteem theme, described by the union of your 1st and 2nd houses, is the claiming back of your natural desire as a birthright. If you are in doubt about what you want, or if you consider it a potential moral affront, it’s difficult to feel good about yourself. For you, taking possession of desire is integral to your respect of yourself."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Listen carefully to what others are saying to you. They may be right, they may be wrong, or their views may not matter at all. Yet you need all the information you can get right now, and then you need to act on it carefully. This is especially true for anything you plan to distribute in writing.
"The overwhelming message of this series of South Node eclipses is that you must get beyond your own past, and find the present. Finding the present means sorting out your emotional reality to the point where you understand what happened, and what it means – and use it as a source of strength rather than of weakness."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Set the best example you can through your actions, and notice who is paying attention. Those are the people you can count on. If you have to explain too much, or use your persuasion, you're probably wasting your time. There are certain people who just get it. Invest your energy in them.
"If you're worried about your reputation, this is merely another way of assigning power over yourself to others. You cannot control what anyone thinks, and no matter how pure, sinister, friendly, loving, raunchy, talented or slothy you might be, people will think what they want. What they might think is not your business."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
You'll find it easy to get along with people today, which will include brushing off any disagreements of opinion. You get to do what you want, anyway, so there's no need to correct people in their views, or to assert your position on them. Just take it all in, and learn as much as you can.
"It looks to me like you need to call an end to a certain line of conduct or thinking that has been in your family for a while. The opportunity you have is based on the fact that you can actually see this issue for what it is. It’s normally difficult to discern, and it’s been masked or veiled recently by its prevalence in society. Once you have it in your sights, address it on the spot."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Stay in the present, though keep your eyes pointed toward the future at all times. The truly unusual astrology of the next few weeks will not only help you reveal some important forthcoming developments; you will have the power to manifest and develop the ones that you want most.
"You mean a great deal to the people close to you, and though they may not say anything about it, they certainly know it. If it ever seems that people benefit from you more than you benefit from them, rejoice in that fact. You need less than they do; you are more complete in yourself than most people around you; and anyway, that self-completion is the major theme of your astrology."
