If Your Birthday is Oct. 29
(The Day of New Ideas) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must shake off your attachments to the past, and live with your heart in the present moment, and your eyes looking forward. The past is not what you think it was, and all those things that once existed are no longer relevant. You of all people have the power to go beyond the expectations of your family. You are a pioneer of the future.
Written in the Planets
Aspects involving the Sun and Mars imply that your range of options may be wider than you think. It might help you to consider the present moment as a clean slate. If there are particular circumstances that would normally restrict you, set them aside -- if only as a thought exercise. Then wait and listen for your heart to speak from its depths. Chances are, you'll see things from a whole new perspective.
By any standards, 2018 will be a distinctive year astrologically. Get your essential guide to riding the waves of the next 12 months and beyond. Pre-order The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual by Eric Francis.
Daily Horoscope for October 29, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You must shake off your attachments to the past, and live with your heart in the present moment, and your eyes looking forward. The past is not what you think it was, and all those things that once existed are no longer relevant. You of all people have the power to go beyond the expectations of your family. You are a pioneer of the future. You share a birthday with Dan Castellaneta, Winona Ryder, and Gabrielle Union.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may catch a glimpse of the future today, and see something that goes beyond an idle hope or dream. You will know you're looking at something real because it feels solid and tangible. Yes, this is a matter of imagination, though that grounded feeling means something is attainable.
"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) -- Keep moving in unfamiliar directions, particularly with your work. Expand into challenging parts of your job, and be willing to take on new responsibilities. The world needs intelligent, spiritually grounded leaders right now, and you are a candidate. Service is the highest calling.
"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) -- Mars and Jupiter continue to work their wonders in your life. By all rights, you are an unstoppable force; whether you're a nurse taking care of patients, you play in a symphony orchestra, or anything in between. Put your abundant energy and sharp wits to work, and help hold the world together.
"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) -- It's going to be an exciting week as the Moon builds toward full phase (the Full Moon is exact on Nov. 4). Stay on a positive wavelength, start the week off slowly, and gradually build your momentum. You will be amazed what you get done, and how much fun you have doing it.
"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) -- You will work wonders today if you coordinate a group effort, or crowdsource a project. The Moon in Aquarius (cooperation, loose associations, friends) harmonizes perfectly with your solar chart, which bestows a Pied Piper quality on you. Be sure to play a happy tune.
"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) -- There's a creative way to work out the financing of a project, though it'll require more than you going it alone. You possess the idea, the gift of being able to express what it is, and the motivation to get it done. From there, you'll find it easy to get the support of others.
"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) -- You can afford to push your luck, at least a little more than you usually do. You can invest more of your resources into what's important to you, especially if it's in something of lasting value, or oriented on the future. You have your priorities. Know what they are, and use them consciously.
"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) -- You seem to be working with two agendas: one you're talking about, and one that you're not. Eventually you'll have to get yourself onto the same page, and open up to anyone you've left in the dark. Do this sooner rather than later, before something untrue takes up a life of its own.
"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."

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- One of your current spiritual projects is letting go of thought patterns that hold you in a negative state of mind. You can do this, and you will; though you'll need to watch your mind carefully. The moment you think a self-defeating thought of any kind, remind yourself: this need not be.
"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."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
When people perceive you in a position of authority, they will often bring all their old baggage about bosses, parents and mean teachers from years ago. Your job is not to take on any of these projections. Make sure you have honest, clear transactions with others this week.
"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) -- The past exists only in memory. It seems so real. It seems so tangible. Yet it's far less real than the sky reflected in a lake, or dust particles drifting in a ray of sunlight. Remember that this week. It takes courage to stay present for your own life and your own experiences, but it's worth the effort.
"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."
