Shifting Focus: Mercury and Venus Change Signs
Dear Friend and Reader:
This is one of those weeks when the astrological tone shifts slightly; think of it like putting on glasses with colored lenses, except these glasses go on your mind and emotions. What's going on around you has not changed, but the tint of how you perceive it might.
In a world like the one we're living in -- constant political and natural crises; the internet dictating what we see, react to and believe; media whiplash with every cultural backlash -- every ounce of deliberateness counts. Life is overwhelming, and many people feel the need to tune out, go numb and seek 'entertainment'.
Others want so desperately to fix the pain around them, they forget to take care of themselves. And with the idea of 'outrage du jour' becoming almost literally a new outrage every single day, it can be hard to track how your own process of evaluating issues and responding to them -- as well as how you relate to loved ones -- might be shifting.
Which brings us to the astrological highlights of this week: both Mercury and Venus change signs this week.
Mercury just left Scorpio and entered Sagittarius earlier today. Venus leaves Libra and enters Scorpio on Tuesday at 6:38 am EST (11:38 UTC).
Whereas Mercury in Scorpio might have had your mind acting something like a sleuth's magnifying glass or a surgeon's scalpel -- focused on getting beneath the surface with strong intention -- Mercury in Sagittarius could feel a little looser. OK, your thoughts and communication might feel a lot looser: shooting from the hip, an easier sense of humor and, perhaps, needing more effort to stay focused.
Meanwhile, Venus leaves one of the signs it rules (and where, therefore, it feels more comfortable) -- Libra -- for a sign where it tends to have a harder time 'acting natural'. Scorpio is opposite Taurus (the other sign Venus rules) and is traditionally ruled by Mars. This puts the planet of receptivity and the female archetype into a sign that shares the assertive masculinity of Mars.
Yet Scorpio is also a water sign: emotional and deep. Venus here needs to remember "real lovingness," as astrologer Isabel Hickey puts it. That is, it might require more conscious effort to feel one's way into empathy if possessiveness, jealousy or fear begins to encroach into a relationship situation (or any interpersonal interaction).

If Your Birthday is Nov. 6
(The Day of Rousing Vigor) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Focus on money, which means on the facts and figures of your financial life. This will help more than your bank balance and credit rating. It will help your self-esteem, which is the single most meaningful issue to which you must devote yourself. Why does this come back to understanding your relationship to money? That mystery will eagerly reveal itself.
Written in the Planets
One of the interesting paradoxes of human life is that we all have a higher purpose, but are apt to forget the fact. Aspects today, including Vesta sextile Saturn, suggest that this moment could serve as a time of realignment with your personal mission. Your inner guidance is always within reach, though it can take practice to hear it and trust it. Today it may feel closer than usual, which makes this a good day to try listening to it. Note that you don't need to see all the way to the destination. Knowing where you want to head next is just fine.
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.

If Today is Your Birthday
Focus on money, which means on the facts and figures of your financial life. This will help more than your bank balance and credit rating. It will help your self-esteem, which is the single most meaningful issue to which you must devote yourself. Why does this come back to understanding your relationship to money? That mystery will eagerly reveal itself. You share a birthday with Glenn Frey, Ethan Hawke, and Thandie Newton.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- There are influential people in your life at the moment. You see something of yourself in all of them. Yet one person is offering you an idea about yourself that's entirely unlike what others are saying. Don't accept anything on belief. Rather, listen, and feel your way to your personal truth.
"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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- A close partner may be ready to take an existing discussion to a deeper level, and you'd be wise to follow. Relationships are the highlight of your chart at the moment, and will be for the foreseeable future. The more you invest into them, the more they will be dependable sources of happiness.
"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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Before you respond to something someone says, ask yourself whether it's even true, and whether it even matters. Try to get to the essence of the discussion: that is, the actual meaning of the words spoken. Take your time doing this. You might reply to something in an hour rather than in a minute.
"The two most significant aspects of life -- love, and work -- are coming in at full strength. 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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You may suddenly discover that you've gotten to the bottom of a pressing mystery, then forget what you learned. It'll come back to you; though you might take some notes, even if sketched on a placemat or written in Sharpie on the back of your hand. This is something worth remembering.
"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 (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Today is one of those days when people can disagree with you all they want and it barely matters. If you get annoyed, remind yourself that there are all kinds of opinions in the world, and many possible viewpoints. Some mean more than others, though each one serves its own particular role.
"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 here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition. Pre-order that here.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Keep an open mind, and be flexible in your viewpoints. These days, it seems like everyone is camping out in their position, ready to go nowhere, stocked with five cases of beer and a month's supply of food. Easy does it. Look around, and listen to what people say. They might have a point.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Your beliefs are being put to the test. You may need to reconcile what you believe is true with something you may have long felt is true. It will help if you go beyond believing and feeling, and sort this matter out carefully. You need to get all of you onto the same page.
"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.
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.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You might be inclined to talk through an issue with an intimate partner, when you could just as easily work it out in bed. You have to ask yourself if you want lots of words, or something more satisfying. There are words in abundance, if that's what you need. Passion is rarer to find.
"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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Mercury has entered your sign, which seems to have arrived with solving a deep mystery of some kind. It was not so strange after all, though do your best not to rationalize your discovery. Stay aware of how much you don't know. That awareness is the true fuel of spiritual awakening.
"To succeed, your work plan must have metes and bounds. You must choose the 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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- In any situation, you may be the only person who is willing to intervene and make sure the right thing happens. Don't count on others to step up. If you feel guided to do this, then do it. You will know because when you start to move, it turns out to be easy.
"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."
-- 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. Pre-order that here.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take any opportunity to align your public statements with your most personal inner values. This is the time when you'll reconcile what, for most people, seems impossible. Make sure this happens in the seemingly small, subtle matters, and the much more important ones. There's just one of you -- not two.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Get the word out about what you do. Take the time to do some self-promotion and return phone calls or emails. If someone puts some wind in your sails and gives you a boost of momentum, make the most of it. You'll be surprised how much people care about what you're doing.
"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."
