At the U.N. climate summit in Bonn, Germany, protests are underway against oil, coal, gas and nuclear power. Indian activists are demonstrating against India's largest nuclear power station, the Kudankulam plant in India's southern state of Tamil Nadu. Activists also disrupted a presentation by the European Investment Bank at an annual corporate conference held alongside the climate summit in Bonn, with a protest against the construction of the Trans Adriatic gas pipeline, which is slated to run from the Greek-Turkish border, under the Adriatic Sea and into Italy.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 16
(The Day of the Boss) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your life will tend to run in cycles this year, and you must make the most of those. A metaphor would be to plant when the growing season begins, and harvest at the end. These natural cycles are far removed from the thoughts of most, though you must be in harmony with your true nature, as you grow, change and become on a continuous basis.
Written in the Planets
The Moon isn't technically new until it reaches the Sun's position in the zodiac (that will happen on Saturday). However, today the Moon enters the relevant sign, Scorpio, and as it does so it forms a potent conjunction to Vesta, while the Sun trines Chiron. One effect of this might feel like the New Moon starting a little early, and quite palpably; you may find you have a pretty clear picture of where you wish to direct your energy over the ensuing month. There's no reason why you can't begin making plans or, at the very least, dreaming dreams.
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 16, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Your life will tend to run in cycles this year, and you must make the most of those. A metaphor would be to plant when the growing season begins, and harvest at the end. These natural cycles are far removed from the thoughts of most, though you must be in harmony with your true nature, as you grow, change and become on a continuous basis. You share a birthday with Burgess Meredith, Chinua Achebe, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- The thing about sex is that it's not like a little video where you click play, and then can fast-forward to the good parts. Wholesome physical sharing takes patience, trust and affection. Those things require a commitment of time and space. What happens at night does not happen overnight.
"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 (April 19-May 20) -- Tackle a financial issue directly, without worrying about the potential repercussions. Engage the conversation, and get the facts onto the table. Then you and whoever you're discussing this with can decide what to do about it. This will keep you well ahead of the curve.
"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 (May 20-June 21) -- Being close to others is good for you. Being vulnerable is healthy. You don't need to bob and weave to avoid intimate contact. Remember that most of what you encounter when you get close to another person is yourself. The more self-accepting you are, the easier that will be.
"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 (June 21-July 22) -- Your charts today and through the weekend are all about expressing yourself, whether you do this in the privacy of your workspace, with collaborators, or in some of the most passionate days and nights in recent memory. Get your work done. Some good times are about to roll.
"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 (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You have to know your limits, specifically so you can exceed them. You need boundaries, so you can decide when you want to cross them. You need a container, so that you can do exactly, precisely what you want to do within your personal space. That's why you have it, and what it's for.
"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 (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You know what is real, and therefore you can stay in touch with reality. Others may fantasize or wish their lives away; you need traction and momentum, and you can give yourself that today. Spend your precious time concerning yourself with what really matters -- that and that alone.
"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 (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Whatever a professional situation calls for, you can provide it. You can be confident of that, and eventually you will learn this is one of your greatest assets. You have resources, which means a blend of knowledge, ethics, willingness and the motivation to do an excellent job. Count on that.
"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.'"

Dear Friend of Planet Waves:
I recently did the astrology portions of the Scorpio reading. That reading is ready for instant access.
While I was working, 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.
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,
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Success is not about what you've accomplished, your skills or your connections. Your success is about who you are as a person. It's difficult to remember this when you see people displaying all kinds of flashy skills, or using money or politics to their advantage. It's all a ruse. We live in the human world.
"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 (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You have your own ideas about life, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You know what's true for you. At a certain point, though, it will really make a difference what other people think, so you would be wise to study that carefully and have a fully informed viewpoint.
"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 (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You have considerable authority to say exactly what needs to be said. Yet the key to getting a positive effect will be setting aside any anger or resentment, and coming from a clear place of love. You don't need to provoke people with negative emotions. Your beauty will get far better results.
"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 (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Offer yourself to the world at full strength. Show anyone who might care what you can actually do, skipping over the introductory speech. Be generous with your gifts and strive to offer the very best of your skill and intelligence. Don't judge your performance. Rather, listen carefully for feedback.
"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 (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's time to push and exceed your previous beliefs about yourself. Go three steps better than you thought you could accomplish. Treat every task like it's the most important audition of your life. Remember that you exist within your own ideas of what is possible. Therefore, set the highest standards.
"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."
