If Your Birthday is Nov. 2
(The Day of Transformation) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must be realistic about what you're willing to offer to partners. You don't need to prove your affection to anyone. Yet at the same time you may be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of a partner's happiness, or for the greater good. Seek companions who are equally generous, and who are able to see their best interests as an extension of yours.
Written in the Planets
Since late last year, Saturn has been in an on-off square with Chiron: an aspect that speaks of learning to stand in one's own authority. Today the square happens for the final time before both change signs and Saturn begins to creep ahead. In the past 12 months or so, in what ways have you claimed your independence -- whether from parents, or parent-like figures around you? Letting go of strictures that may have been imposed on you from an early age is no easy task; nor is thinking for yourself in an age when conformity is fashionable. Yet in reality, you are the only one who can truly determine what is right for you.
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 November 2, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You must be realistic about what you're willing to offer to partners. You don't need to prove your affection to anyone. Yet at the same time you may be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of a partner's happiness, or for the greater good. Seek companions who are equally generous, and who are able to see their best interests as an extension of yours. You share a birthday with Burt Lancaster, k.d. lang and Lauren Velez.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Maintain your cool today. There are many surprise elements that may manifest, though how you respond must be predictably level-headed. That will be easier if you are mindful and if you recognize that over-reacting doesn't get you anywhere. As the old saying goes, keep calm and carry on.
"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) -- If you want to feel strong, stable and useful, do good work. Don't just do your job and go home. Make sure you're doing the very best you can do, and then go the extra mile. Devotion feels good to you, much better than that sticking point of holding back or clinging to what's yours.
"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) -- Keep your most important plans to yourself. You may be tempted to tell the world, though it's essential that you keep your energy concentrated and focused inwardly. If you're feeling a craving to do something public, start a discussion about something fun or provocative, unrelated to you.
"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) -- If you're the ambitious kind of Cancerian, today will be an exciting day in your professional life. A surprise or unexpected or unusual event could put you into the spotlight. If you're less ambitious, do what you can to get along with higher-ups. This is a great time to excel, rather than to rebel.
"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) -- Keep an open mind and be ready to change your plans. Let in new ideas, which will be especially appealing if you notice how excellent those ideas are. You know that the future can be different from, and considerably better than, the past. Different means change, so welcome it warmly.
"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 may discover today that what you have is worth much more than you recognize. That might apply to a talent, a physical object or an idea. Today's developments could represent a change of plans or a shakeup of some kind, which you must work to your best advantage.
"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) -- Make room for the opinions of others. You don't need to agree or disagree. You don't need to even have an opinion of your own. You just need to stand guard over their right to have a perspective, no matter how ridiculous or intelligent. Then, resume whatever you were doing.
"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
Sensing Behind the Veil: Your Guide into a Big Year
"Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of."
-- Liz Glanville
Dear Scorpio Friend and Reader:
Here we are in that time when the veil between this world and unseen realms is said to be thinnest. I know many people, including several Scorpios, who revel in the sensations of this season. Yet tuning in takes conscious intention; it asks you to make time and psychic space for subtler forms of connection than what modern life generally facilitates.
That's one of the beauties of your 2017-18 Scorpio Birthday Reading: it's the ideal tool to help you tune in -- to yourself, to the astrology, to your soul's purpose in this world, and to your connection to the subtler realms.
Your solar year is beginning with astonishing potential, thanks to Jupiter's presence. And while Jupiter is not exactly 'subtle', it still asks you to make conscious contact with its energy -- Eric will guide you in how to make the most of it.
With Saturn, Uranus and Chiron changing signs, your environment will be shifting -- yet another great reason to focus your bandwidth and deepen your awareness.
In particular, Uranus entering your opposite sign and 'relationship house' -- Taurus -- could bring some surprises over the next few years. Listening to your birthday reading will help you 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 creates 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.
"A devoted follower of your work since 2008, and a supporting member now for more than a year, I feel your readings are spot on so I keep coming back."
-- Lesley (Scorpio x 3)

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'll be at your most brilliant if you err on the side of having fun rather than getting things done. By all means show up at work on time and take care of important deadlines . However, you'll tap into your deepest genius by taking a light-hearted approach to what seems most difficult.
"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) -- There are times when you have to compromise, or make what seems like a sacrifice. Be careful with that. Yet you may also discover that what you seemingly must give up is something you don't really need and don't even want, and that letting go of it benefits others.
"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) --
You will seem to discover something today that appears radical or stunning. Actually, this is something you already knew, and have factored into your plans. Think carefully and you'll see how you were already three steps ahead of yourself -- well, actually, you're a good few more.
"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) -- Be bold about conjuring up wild plans, and cautious about putting them into effect. Give your mind a long leash, or none at all, so that you don't stifle all the good ideas that come out along the way. Something that seems utterly outrageous will be practical and effective. Evaluate every idea carefully.
"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."
