Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Nov. 11, 2017
Today's Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for Jan. 15, 1999.
The thing about doing very intense growth work is that it's not always so healthy. New possibilities can become an obsession that takes your mind off of the present. One "solution" after the next can fail to fulfill its empty or tremendous promises. Going to the cosmic blacksmith's shop and putting your soul in the fire can hurt. There is a risk, and risk means the possibility not just of failure, but of loss. And yet finally admitting that "I will always be this way until I change" can come as a huge relief. I don't know where you stand on any of these issues, but it's a good week to check them out, while pondering the mantra, "Transformation is inevitable."
The Oracle is a daily mini-reading divined from our extensive Horoscope Archive. You can research any Planet Waves horoscope published since 1999 at the Horoscope Archive and Oracle.

Daily Horoscope for November 11, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
This year marks a rare turning point for you. Everything hinges on your ability to remain conscious of your direction at all times, and to accept the many ways that life is guiding you toward your chosen destiny. You must consider carefully certain facts that have their roots in the events of late August, and everything you've learned since. Knowledge is power. You share a birthday with Kurt Vonnegut, Mary Gaitskill, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Several important factors are coming up for review today, and you know there's no avoiding them. Therefore, face your situation head-on and be willing to make any decision that you need to make. You must have the courage to be the one and only leader of your one and only life.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You must remind yourself constantly that your intimate partners are not your parents. One of the most serious problems people face is the tendency to get involved with people who remind them of their mother or father. You need to be clear about this. They are not your parents.
"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."

-- 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
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You're at a crossroads between the past and the future. Don't be so fast to move on; this is a rare opportunity to actually be fully in the present moment. That means recognizing that the rest of your life really is in front of you. How long can you stand it? A minute? An hour? All day?
"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. Pre-order that here.
Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Something seems to be hanging in the balance, and you need to identify what that is. It relates (as does so much) to your sexuality, including what you feel, what you want, and what you choose to do, or not do. Rather than downplay this, recognize that you don't give it nearly enough attention.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You need collaboration, in person and not just through some virtual platform. The people you're closest to are among those you can be the most productive with. Love and work are closely related, and together they build a special bond that's rare to find any other way. Do something real.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Over the next few days, you will have opportunities to express yourself truthfully, and opportunities to be less than forthcoming. This is always the case, though the contrast is particularly striking at the moment. Ask yourself why you might say something, or admit something -- and why not.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Libra
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- When you focus on your purpose, suddenly everything else falls into place. That's your highest priority right now and through the weekend. You have a mission, and that mission is driven by some deep ideals and a sense of necessity. You don't need anyone's approval except your own.
"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
The Help You Need To Make the Most of Your Incredible Year
"Your work has always offered me food for thought, options to consider and clarity when needed. Thank you very much for what you do and how you present it."
-- Victoria Bouet
Dear Scorpio Friend and Reader:

It seems that every day, there's a new tragedy to grapple with. If you're at all sensitive, life can feel overwhelming on an almost-daily basis. Yet you have deeper reserves than you might think; your passion is a powerful tool for transformation -- and this year, you have some extra-special help in your sign.

Scorpio
That would be Jupiter, which is keeping you company for the next 12 months or so, and which kicked off your solar year with a potential-filled conjunction with the Scorpio Sun. You also have company in the form of Eric Francis and your 2017-18 Birthday Reading.

The key to using Jupiter's blessings well is to use them consciously, with full intention and actual action. As you do, you'll pave the way for making the most of the other major planetary sign changes coming up: Saturn leaving Sagittarius for Capricorn; Uranus entering your relationship sign, Taurus; and Chiron leaving Pisces for Aries (a Mars-ruled sign, like yours).

As your environment shifts, you'll need to adjust how you interact with it. Whether that means channeling your energy and emotions into your relationships, your home, your creative risk-taking or some other facet of life, you'll want to do so as productively and with as little wasted effort as possible. And you can.

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. This means the 2017-18 Scorpio Birthday Reading makes the perfect gift for your Scorpio Sun, Moon or rising sign loved ones.

You'll get two segments of astrology, a tarot reading for the year, and an extended description of your sign. Best of all, you can listen as many times as you'd like -- whenever you need a pick-me-up or some new insights throughout the year.
"The Scorpio reading described my life right now and was much needed! Thank you!"
-- Columba Genubath
How will you use the blessings of Jupiter in your sign this year, Scorpio?

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must be the most positive force in your life. You must be the person who inspires you to make changes, to do great things, and to exceed your limits. Don't waste a minute waiting for others. You're a fearless, dauntless Scorpio. Lead the way for yourself and the rest of us, and do it now.
"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
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Your life is at an important tipping point, though you may not recognize that right now. Yet the decisions you make today can influence your life in the short run and for the foreseeable future, so make sure you know what your options are, and that you choose carefully.
"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
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Enlist the people in your life and get them working together for a good cause. This might start with an intimate partner, though it can include anyone you care about. The world needs leadership right now, and you have some to offer. You have a vision. You know right from wrong.
"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."

-- 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
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- How ambitious are you, really? What are you willing to do to meet your goals? While you're considering that, take a moment and decide if you're actually reaching high enough. There are powerful forces at work in your life, and you can attain the highest objective you're willing to reach for.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Pisces
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Gradually a vision is coming into form -- your vision for your life. You can set aside your worst fears, and instead, embrace your highest ideals, your most cherished goals and your best-case scenario. You might not get it all, though it's better to aim high, while you're aiming at all.
"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."
