This Week's Horoscope for Scorpio by Eric Francis Coppolino
Last month, the great planet Jupiter arrived in your sign. A miniature solar system, with 69 known natural satellites, and more solid even than Saturn, is now the dominant influence in your life. This is good news, given that Scorpio has had so little help and support during the past five years or so, and many stressful turns of astrology (and therefore, of events). Monday, Venus makes a conjunction to Jupiter. This is better than drawing the Wish Card out of the tarot; it's a sign that you're finally able to access your inner resources. There may be help coming from outside as well, though that will become more apparent when you take advantage of what you already have going. Your personal resources and sense of abundance will draw more to you. One other bit: it's crucial that you not try to impress anyone, such as the public, or mommy/daddy figures of any shade, or the perfectionists and critics. They all have their own karma. You have yours.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 14
(The Day of the Investigator) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Understanding your own motives is the key to your happiness. What exactly drives you? What do you want? What do you need? Once you're clear about these things, you'll be able to follow them, or make any necessary adjustments. Yet you must not live in any form of denial, or treat yourself like a cryptic puzzle. This will take some mental discipline.

Written in the Planets
Today Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow phase in Sagittarius. This is not a reason to panic; but it is a reminder to begin tying up any loose ends you may have -- particularly in terms of things like finances, major purchases and contracts. With Mercury in the sign of big-picture thinking, it's also a reminder to be especially intentional when it comes to the details. Mercury will not station retrograde until Dec. 3. Use the next couple weeks to back up your computer and tend to car maintenance or other repairs you've been meaning to get around to.

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 14, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Understanding your own motives is the key to your happiness. What exactly drives you? What do you want? What do you need? Once you're clear about these things, you'll be able to follow them, or make any necessary adjustments. Yet you must not live in any form of denial, or treat yourself like a cryptic puzzle. This will take some mental discipline. You share a birthday with Claude Monet, Maggie Roswell, and Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- A relationship matter needs a good airing out; it will help if you take responsibility for your part in the situation. You could too easily blame others, and then wonder why you didn't get a result. Start the discussion by owning up to your choices and how you feel about them.
"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) -- There is a difference between love and attachment. Jealousy is not a sign of devotion; it's about something else. If you can be flexible with someone, and let your feelings flow, and hold space for them to be who they truly are: that is a sign of respect, devotion and the essence of love.
"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 may finally have a clue what's going on with an intimate partner or collaborator. It now may make more sense why they felt they had to confuse matters, or conceal something important. Give them a pass this time, though make sure it does not become a habit.
"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) -- Don't let anyone or anything shake your confidence. That includes things said to you by anyone, whether close to you or not; and it includes family and household matters. You are a sensitive person, and must avoid taking things personally. Dust yourself off, and face the future with an open heart.
"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) -- Be gentle with partners today and tonight. Temper your words. They have more impact than you may think, because you have more impact than you know. People care about how you feel; start from that premise, and move directly to demonstrating that you care about how they feel.
"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) -- If you attend to a financial matter, everything else will make more sense. You will feel less like a victim and more powerful in your relationships, whether work or personal. You have the power to work this out, and right now you have the motivation. Don't let anyone or anything stop you.
"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) -- If you feel angry or annoyed about anything, be sure to let that motivate you to make changes. Don't wait until you calm down and decide what to do then. You know what you need to do, and what you want to do. Think of this as a matter of demonstrating your self-respect.
"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.'"

Planet Waves

Dear Friend of Planet Waves:

Today, on the eve of Venus conjunct Jupiter, I did the astrology portions of the Scorpio reading. That reading is ready for instant access.

Planet Waves
While I was working this afternoon, I had a feeling I often get doing these readings: this is information I would want to know were I interested in astrology, if it was available. I would want to know about this, if only I had an astrologer I was fairly sure had a clue what was happening. [Listen to audio preview here.]

Over the next year or so, three critical planets will change signs: Saturn, Chiron and Uranus. (Chiron is often thought to be a morph of Saturn and Uranus, so that's pretty cool.) Saturn will ingress Capricorn at the end of the year, then next year, Chiron will enter Aries and Uranus will enter Taurus. Plus, several important minor planets will change signs.

What you get with my birthday (and annual) readings is astrology that's too complex to put into the horoscope column, but too personal to say much about in my articles. Using a very old technique called whole-sign houses, I am able to cast an actual chart and read that chart just like I would if you were sitting here.

For just $44, you get a reading that comes very close to a personal reading, containing much that a competent astrologer would say -- if they understood both the classical and modern astrology. This is the thing.

Planet Waves
So much of what's happening now compels an understanding of contemporary developments in astrology. A minor planet that was discovered in 1999, and named a few weeks ago, fills in a missing piece of the puzzle in the current astrology. You can read about that here.

This reading, and my approach to by-sign readings, fills in a vast middle ground in astrology: we have horoscope columns (most of them irrelevant), we have blogs and newsletters (most of them speculative) and we have "prepared reports," drawn from a database by your birthdate, which if you were lucky were written fewer than 15 years ago.

The reading I'm offering now was done today, based on research I've been doing with my team all week and weekend -- and supported by my decades of work, writing, research and presenting in the astrology field.

I've included a graphic of the chart so you can see how sophisticated my approach is. In my presentation, though, I am speaking directly to you, in everyday language. You won't need a Ph.D. in astrology to understand this: you just need to be curious about yourself. You may appreciate the fact that I am direct and honest about relationships, sexuality and the social constructs that influence them -- a topic of vast importance today, and of interest to you. I cover much more than that, however.

You will love and benefit from this reading, or you may have your money back.

Here's how to get instant access.

with love,
eric


Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must resolve not to be haunted by your fears, or by any ghosts of the past. In order to do that, you need to face those specters directly, and tell them that it's time to move on. In the process, you will remember who you are, gradually, hour by hour and day by day. That is what it takes.
"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) -- You've made an important decision, though it will take time to manifest. Therefore, you must take a long view. And it would be wise of you to put your energy into tying up the many loose ends of the past that you know it's time you move on from, so that you can begin your new life.
"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) -- You make the decisions that run your life. If you're considerate, you inquire what impact your choices might have on others, and you do your best to minimize any harm, and maximize the benefits on the people closest to you. But nobody dictates your choices. Nobody makes you do anything.
"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
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Focus on a specific long-range goal, by which I mean a goal you've had for a long time. Concentrate your efforts and reach for that one thing, for now. Use your newfound stature and recognition to make a difficult thing possible. Accomplishing this will give you a boost in your confidence.
"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) -- Take this opportunity to negotiate a fair deal for yourself. You are getting a clue on the true nature of your worth, in terms that are financial, practical and creative. Understand what you can do that nobody else can do or come close to. If nothing comes to mind immediately, get busy making something.
"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."
