"Men think that self-sacrifice is the most charming of all the cardinal virtues for women, and in order to keep it in healthy working order, they make opportunities for its illustration as often as possible. I would fain teach women that self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice."
-- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If Your Birthday is Nov. 12
(The Day of Sensual Charisma) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have the power to bring many good things into your life. Yet more significantly, you are blessed with the gift of being a resource to others. Your knowledge, your talents, your empathy and many other personal attributes will become obvious to you as you share with others. Do this with an open heart and no thought of getting anything in return.

Written in the Planets
The Virgo Moon today makes contact with both Mercury in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces as they approach their square. To some extent this has to do with discernment, and with determining what is real and what is true. Orcus in Virgo is also involved, which is about being true to oneself and keeping one's word. It's not always possible to be clear about objective fact; though it could certainly be argued we all have an obligation to do that, as far as we can. Yet you can always choose to speak and act honestly.

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 12, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You have the power to bring many good things into your life. Yet more significantly, you are blessed with the gift of being a resource to others. Your knowledge, your talents, your empathy and many other personal attributes will become obvious to you as you share with others. Do this with an open heart and no thought of getting anything in return. You share a birthday with Buck Clayton, Neil Young, and Grace Kelly.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- It's always tempting to make decisions based on how they might impact a relationship. If you're going to do that, make sure that any partner in this equation is consulted directly. Are they as committed to your wellbeing as you are to theirs? This will be obvious three minutes into the discussion.
"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) -- People use many criteria to select a partner, though for you, the most important is harmony on the spiritual levels. You need to have similar values about the nature of existence and your relationship to what some call their higher power. For you, that's the level where true bonding happens.
"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."

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Over the next 48 hours, it'll become increasingly important that you speak your truth when you have the option to deny the truth or slyly deceive someone else. Make your personal integrity a matter of honor. Be the person brave enough to be real when it matters the most.
"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) -- This is the right time to consider your deepest needs in relationships. Is it emotional bonding, a spiritual connection, growing with another person, or your erotic connection? You could probably name other factors if you pause and consider it. This will require some courage, so be brave.
"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) -- Bring others into the discussion about finances, whether this involves your household or how to float a project. You are the person with the practical ideas, who tends to be a little more cautious about money, especially when colleagues are unrealistic. That's an appropriate role for you in this discussion.
"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."

Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You seem to be growing deeper in your understanding of something, and at the same time, more reluctant to own up to that fact. There's no point being in denial because this thing you might want to avoid is so abundantly positive. Look directly at it, and speak directly to it, whatever it may be.
"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) -- The key to happiness is staying connected to your mission. This is more than most people can bear, since it involves taking life seriously, and that is allegedly for fools. However, you are blessed to have a meaningful life, and you must exploit that to the fullest. It'll keep you focused and happy.
"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) -- The only standard you must hold yourself to is the one that you set. Don't pretend that others are somehow your judge and jury, or that your work is subject to public approval. Address this on a regular basis. Clear the static and affirm that you're the final arbiter of your own quality and competence.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- The Moon moving through the career and reputation angle of your chart is encouraging you to take leadership over your own affairs, and to make sure the details are being taken care of. Even if you don't have a lot of energy today, step up to the challenge. Get help if you need it.
"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. Pre-order that here.
Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- It's time to stop defining yourself by your relationship or partner. This tendency only gets in your way. Current aspects say that whatever you must do to shift this, get busy now. The underlying reality has already changed in your mind and emotions. Now match that to your outer world.
"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) -- Resolve to make this week one of the most meaningful in your professional life. Easier said than done, though your commitment and dedication will take you a long way. The world currently seems to be shouting failure and defeat from every quarter. Don't buy into that for a second.
"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) -- Fully engage your intuition, your instincts and your intelligence this week. This combination of "the three I's" will guide you like a committee through what promises to be an unusual, even wild, moment of your life. Instinct comes from your body, intuition from your spirit, and intelligence from your mind.
"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."
