"War is the greatest destroyer of human life, the greatest polluter, the greatest creator of refugees, the greatest cause of starvation and illness. We all have to care -- not just for our own little circle, but for the universe."

This Week's Horoscope for Scorpio by Eric Francis Coppolino
You seem to be living on two levels. One is plainly obvious; you know who you are and what you need to be doing. At the same time, there's something about your relationships that's veiled in obscurity. You may feel that how people see and experience you limits your potential. In that sense, you may feel like you've outgrown your current partnerships. That's always a possibility, though if you investigate that potential, you may discover that the people who care the most about you are willing to give you the space and time you need, and support your process of finding yourself. Still, it will take some courage to get out of your safe zone and to truly trust that people will be there for you even as you transform yourself into any shape or size you need. Be who you actually are. Never use your relationships as an excuse for not doing so.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 31
(The Day of Attentiveness) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You seem to be craving direct experience: reality rather than virtual reality; creating rather than consuming; the physical event rather than the fantasy. Only actual participation will satisfy you, though you must keep in mind that there's both the perception of risk, and actual risk, involved. That's OK. It's dangerous sitting around wishing you could do more.
Written in the Planets
Your feelings are powerful right now, and you can sense how they relate to old patterns. Not only is the veil between worlds thin presently, in looking through it, you can trace the lineage of some kind of emotional or sexual hand-me-down whose time is up. Yet there's some concrete, real-life wisdom currently available to you, too. That comes via the asteroid Pallas, retrograde in Taurus; it's making an opposition to Jupiter in Scorpio. Both Pallas and Jupiter are in harmony with centaur Nessus in Pisces ('the buck stops here'). Notice what another person is reflecting back to you today. It looks like they're modeling the strategy you need; or perhaps you're the confidante with a healing vibe they've been looking for. Or vice versa. Either way, work the emotional-physical axis to get furthest today.
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 31, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You seem to be craving direct experience: reality rather than virtual reality; creating rather than consuming; the physical event rather than the fantasy. Only actual participation will satisfy you, though you must keep in mind that there's both the perception of risk, and actual risk, involved. That's OK. It's dangerous sitting around wishing you could do more. You share a birthday with Ethel Waters, John Candy, and Peter Jackson.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Once you tune into your inner reality, there's no going back. You can pretend, but that's not the same as the real thing. What you discover today may provide the basis for many years of learning. Take careful notes in your diary, or write yourself a letter that you open next April.
"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) -- To the extent that people are struggling, you understand why -- and you may be called upon to serve as a sounding board today. This might happen in a group situation where it's off-topic: at lunch, in an office meeting, or hanging out socially with friends. Be grateful if you can be supportive.
"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) -- Everyone has the power to heal, especially if they set that as their purpose. Yet this ability is not coming from you; it's coming through you. It's important that you recognize this, so you can get out of the way and be of maximum service. When you see a problem, go within and ask for help.
"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) -- Every now and then, it's good to ask yourself why you exist. And if you ask sincerely, sometimes life will give you a surprising answer. And sometimes you'll get an even deeper question, which would be even more precious. Let your mind go to deep places. Your choices will follow close behind.
"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 have unusual empathy for the struggles of others, though it's vital that you not make them your own. Listen to what others are going through and be supportive. Yet you'll be more helpful if you don't make their burdens your problem. Just your open ear and loving feedback will be helpful.
"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) -- The true art of brilliant writing is editing. This will apply to many facets of your life, though especially to what you are conveying in words. If in written format, revise until the reader has to do no work. If in spoken format, rethink and rehearse until the words flow from your lips.
"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 may need to slow down and take better care of yourself. One secret to wellbeing for Libra is understanding the close relationship between your emotional state and your physical health. One or two early nights, wholesome food and plenty of water will do you a world of good.
"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."

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Address a family or household matter that needs to stop before it goes too far. Certain others seem obsessed with their sense of injury and entitlement. First, make sure that this is not you, and let your strong sense of identity guide you. Then, set any necessary limits, and stick to them.
"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) -- You will be making some important decisions over the weekend. There are those times when you must think of yourself alone. Then there are times when you must consider the impacts of your choices on others, and now is one of them. You can make decisions that work for everyone.
"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) --
Most people are accustomed to just about everyone saying something other than what they mean, and meaning something other than what they say. You can be a refreshing change and use your words to convey your feelings accurately. Be gentle, and perhaps understated, though abundantly clear.
"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) -- Take a slightly detached view, and in any situation you encounter, ask how you may be of service. You may get an answer; you may not get an answer; in any event, you get to respond how you want to respond. This is excellent practice for hearing, and trusting, your inner guidance.
"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."
