Amanda Painter | Finding Strength No Matter How the Light Breaks Through
This week's Taurus Full Moon, exact today, has a busy chart. Amanda Painter drew a tarot card for some help in determining an overarching theme: the strength and resolve -- really, the faith in oneself -- needed to allow some kind of breakthrough, break out or even a clean break to allow yourself to go beyond whatever has been containing you, beyond what you're used to.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 4
(The Day of the Provocateur) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The Full Moon on your birth anniversary will help you see in the dark. What you might have missed, what might have been lost in the shadows, will be visible. This includes how you really feel about a relationship that has been difficult to make sense of. Real feelings are involved. You have an invitation to go deeper, though that's one of several options.

Written in the Planets
It's possible that by the time you read this, the Taurus Full Moon's intense -- and seemingly entrenched -- energy is already easing off. That might come as a huge relief. Even so, make a note about what you've learned in recent days, particularly about things like: your needs when they butt up against the values of others; what you reveal and what you don't; what you hold on to, especially emotionally; sexual power dynamics; and the subtle ways in which your body and emotions inform each other. With any interpersonal stalemate finally finding some wiggle room, there are specific places you can look for the solution or compromise you've been needing. Start with what's new, unusual or a break from routine -- especially in relationships. You need to feel genuinely nourished in that regard. Know that when you do, you'll naturally nourish others without any sense of depletion. So go ahead and take the lead on that -- compassionately, and perhaps even playfully.

Planet Waves 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 4, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
The Full Moon on your birth anniversary will help you see in the dark. What you might have missed, what might have been lost in the shadows, will be visible. This includes how you really feel about a relationship that has been difficult to make sense of. Real feelings are involved. You have an invitation to go deeper, though that's one of several options. You share a birthday with Doris Roberts, Sean Combs and Matthew McConaughey.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Today's Full Moon in the angle of your chart associated with money, resources and -- most significantly – self-esteem, is a reminder of how much you have going for you. You have everything you need, though you must remember to please yourself before you set out to please anyone else.
"One's relationship to change is the underlying reality that determines how one handles transits. This relationship counts for a lot now, and you would be wise to bring it to full awareness. What you're currently experiencing is the culmination of six years of nonstop and ever-increasing energy. All of that has been excellent preparation. Now, you're experiencing the actual threshold, the invocation of your new life."

Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- A light is shining on you that's reminding you of many personal qualities you may have forgotten. Your sign is famous for its perfectionism, and yet the downside to this is that as you work to improve yourself, you often overlook many beautiful attributes you possess. Today, you will remember.
"You possess actual creativity, actual devotion and a strong tendency to be ethical. If you don't let fear contaminate your mind, you will be able to connect these things in the form of your true vocation. If you are involved in what you consider to be your true vocation, you will have opportunities to go deeper and to bring in something that has the power to change you and change the world around you. That's the mark of truth: it's alive, it's active, it's provocative, and it compels you to establish an ongoing relationship with it."

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Resist the temptation to turn on a dime, or make any snap decisions. Pause, muster up all your maturity, and start asking real questions. Once you do, you'll see you're not working with full information, and then you'll see the sense in having as much knowledge as you can before taking action.
"The two most significant aspects of life -- love, and work -- are coming in at full strength at the moment. You're in a moment unlike any other you've lived through, at least speaking from the viewpoint of your astrology. It's all so much that you might not be so thrilled; you may not see the opportunities in the wild mash-up of factors that are influencing your life. To begin with, I am here to remind you that you're larger than it all."

Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Your solar chart is describing this as one of the most creative and expressive moments in a long time. Take advantage of the opportunities you have. Dive into your most artistic self and do some daring work. Show people what you've created recently. This is a rock star moment.
"You are the kind of person who must become your intentions and give everything all you've got. You feel better when you do this, even if you're having to stretch a little. Being half-hearted does not suit you. You are a whole-hearted person, you want to feel that fully, and you want to be appreciated for what you do. This is the essence of self-esteem and it's currently one of the most basic elements of your astrology."

Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Today's Full Moon takes place in the work and reputation angle of your solar chart. You have earned what you have; don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. Yet a reputation, like any investment, must be maintained and cared for. Don't take your achievements for granted. They are worth too much.
"The more you take a proactive and creative role, the less it will feel like changes are happening to you and the more it will feel like you are working with the incoming forces to create the change that you want. Therefore, pay close attention to just what that is: know what you want to change. I suggest you work with two lists: what you want to resolve or eliminate, and what you want to create. Both will happen as part of the same process."

-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read hereEric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition -- you may pre-order that here.
Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Ultimately, it's not money that counts: it's how you feel about yourself. It's not how successful you are that matters; it's how you gained that success. You are a person of impeccable conscience and ethics. You live to do the right thing. Make sure you maintain that policy today.
"You could say that apart from all the psychological concepts attached to self-esteem, the experience you're looking for is feeling good about who you are. This is a feeling, not a concept. Rather than strive for the feeling, the thing to do is give yourself the experiences that you want; the experiences that will enrich you and help you develop into your personhood. To feel good about yourself, it's vital that you know how to express who you are, and what you feel."

-- 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
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Be cautious making promises, or accepting the promises of others. Rather, deal in cash, or direct trade. The world is too dependent on hope and credit these days, and you're craving something solid. You have that something, and you must associate only with others who do as well.
"Your workplace must be not just habitable but truly supportive. You simply must like the place where you work, or you risk your mental and emotional health. Others can get by with jobs they hate, or substandard working environments; you cannot. Therefore, invest the time and energy that you need to have a place of work that supports your creativity, your health and your wellbeing."

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.

Scorpio
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)
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.

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.



Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Mercury has been in your sign for a few weeks, and it's about to move on to Sagittarius. This has been an eventful phase, though you may have forgotten half of what you learned. It's time for a review. What came to your awareness around Oct. 17? What else have you learned since then?
"You must gather with people who share common values with you. You can no longer afford to invest your precious time and psychic energy with people who do not embody the highest vibration of what you desire, and know to be true. You will feel better about yourself when you can speak openly about what you value the most, and spend time with those who share your spiritual goals and your purpose for living."

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You are finally learning how to prevent your emotions from running your life. You'll never read an astrology book or description of your sign that admits just how emotionally oriented you are, though you know it's true. And you are, at present, in an important moment of gaining maturity.
"To succeed, your work plan must have metes and bounds. You must choose the specific things you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe, and these choices must be prioritized. This does not mean that you will follow your plans exactly, and you'll very likely alter your priorities as you proceed. Yet it's essential to start with some organized scheme, so that you have an overview, and you have a first draft to revise."

Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Today's Full Moon offers a beautiful wake-up call on the level of seeing an unusual rainbow, or meeting someone whose worldview changes your approach to life. You have a rare moment to feel all the colors you contain, or to see an unusual reflection of yourself that shifts your whole reality.
"You are someone who is more connected to the wider flow of the human experience than you might otherwise be. Even if you're not an official leader, or into politics, you are connected (often rather consciously) to aspects of life that extend far beyond yourself. This connection sometimes comes bursting into your life when you're not vaguely interested. Sometimes you feel it as a direct calling, and you may or may not know what to do with that."

Aquarius
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Today's Full Moon may shake your confidence and stir up your doubts -- but you can also take that same energy and burn it as fuel. You might think it's odd that the same thing that can push your insecurities can also push your strength, though that's what it means to be a ninja.
"Within the morphogenetic fields of your sign is an inbred rebelliousness of mind. This comes with the refusal to accept patterns imposed by others; the capacity to hybridize one's views and have original positions on social and political issues; which in turn leads to a kind of eccentricity that is very much a quality of your nature. So too is a distinct inventiveness, if you can keep your mind awake, alert and young."

-- 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
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Saturn square Chiron, a rare and powerful aspect relating to Pisces, is encouraging you to be disciplined about your work, and to maintain your schedule. Avoid problems before they manifest; you have the foresight to predict what they might be. You must be a leader, of yourself first and foremost.
"After many adventures, misadventures, developments, challenges and crises, you've integrated the many seemingly separate facets of who you were into someone who you now most distinctly are. I suggest you make a study of this gradual transformation that's taken over your life, and which is nearly complete. Feel the ways in which you've worked out problems that seemed to have no solution. Notice how your confidence level has increased."
