Small Wheel Turns by the Fire and Rod, Big Wheel Turns by the Grace of God
Dear Friend and Reader:
(And every time that wheel goes 'round, you're bound to cover just a little more ground.) Last month at this time, I introduced the idea that late 2017 through 2018 brings a new era astrologically. While things are constantly changing in the sky (no two days are alike, and one day to the next can be distinctly different), what happens over the next year or so happens only rarely. This is when a series of slow-moving planets change signs around the same time.
The last time something similar to this happened was 2010 into 2012, when Chiron, Uranus and Neptune changed signs in fairly close sequence. We were also experiencing a meeting of Uranus and Pluto in a 90-degree aspect. Think back on those years. They include the BP oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico (which started the day Chiron entered Pisces), and the multiple meltdowns and nuclear plant explosions at Fukushima (which happened the day Uranus entered Aries).
These were two irrevocable incidents that changed the world, damaged the environment, and set the tone for the era that was to come. In those years, we also experienced Arab Spring, the Wisconsin labor protests (please let's never forget these), the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
These were eventful years. We are on notice that things do indeed change and they do indeed fall apart. We see the limits of protest as a mode of social expression; in particular, the way that Arab Spring descended into tyranny and war.
Note that UFOs did not land on the White House lawn. The world did not end. Humanity did not ascend to the 5th dimension; most of humanity, however, did transform into the astral world of the internet, and we're now sharing an out-of-body experience through our touch-screen phones.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 24
(The Day of Contentious Conviviality) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Though the internet has taken over life and we can all have friends in Timbuktu, keep your social interests local this year. Make friends who live within walking distance of your home. Build your casual neighborhood associations into stronger, more deeply bonded friendships. You need to hang out with other distinctive and unusual people.
Written in the Planets
Notice if you find yourself sliding into a 'child' role to somebody else's 'parent'. There's no need for you to give up the authority you have over your own life. See what happens if you stand up for your truth in the face of someone's parental posturing, no matter how hard you have to work to stay in your center. The dynamic that appears to give the other person power is likely more fragile than you think, and the slightest tap could reveal it to be the psychological hologram it really is. This setup is described by Mercury moving into a conjunction with Saturn, the Galactic Core and Pholus in Sagittarius. Yet Mercury is also exactly square Chiron in Pisces today: listen to your intuition, and watch for extreme opinions. Can you hear past your convictions enough to get to their roots? If you commit to being more careful and precise in your communication with others, do you find your thinking gets clearer, too?
New Features Added:
Videos for 2018 Saturn, Chiron and Uranus Transits
Dear Friend and Reader:
The Art of Becoming is your 2018 annual reading. This is my 20th time at the rodeo! And that's a good thing, because to write about the transits of the coming year will take experience. If you're new to the discussion of this project, I've linked a letter in the last paragraph.
I've added three new features to The Art of Becoming, for those who pre-order all 12 signs: videos that cover Chiron in Aries, and Aries Chiron returns; Uranus in Taurus, and Uranus oppositions; and Saturn in Capricorn, including those two Saturn return groups (first and second). These cover many age groups and sub-generations.
These videos are included if you pre-order all 12 signs. Then they will be spun off as separate products. They will not be included with post-publication orders, or single-sign orders. Each will be offered separately for $37.37 each.
I've wanted to do transit readings like this for years! One distinction about my astrological career is that rather than predicting transits, I've been listening to my clients tell me the stories of their transits for more than two decades.
The current pre-order price is $99, which includes written readings for all 12 signs, plus the Saturn, Chiron and Uranus video presentations. Those will be published before the written readings, by the way.
Delivery is expected in January. That's the time estimate, based on 20 years' experience doing this project. If you're curious to read more about The Art of Becoming, here's a detailed letter describing how I do the readings and what they contain.
And if you have not read your 2017 reading, you may do so here at no charge.
Sign up today. The next price increase will be soon!
Thank you for trusting me as your astrologer, and for participating in Planet Waves.
With love,
Daily Horoscope for November 24, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Though the internet has taken over life and we can all have friends in Timbuktu, keep your social interests local this year. Make friends who live within walking distance of your home. Build your casual neighborhood associations into stronger, more deeply bonded friendships. You need to hang out with other distinctive and unusual people. You share a birthday with Scott Joplin, Dawn Robinson, and Shirley Henderson.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take it to the streets. Get out and get among the people -- your people, and groups you've never hung out with before. Finesse a friend into introducing you to a social circle you might not ordinarily encounter, and expand your horizons. If we must live in tribal reality, remember: you belong to many tribes.
"The person you thought you were five years ago, one year ago, even yesterday, is not quite the same person you are today, potentially in some profound ways. To the extent that this is shaking up your consciousness and that of the people around you, you simply must develop confidence in 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 now.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Whatever you may choose to do with your weekend, make sure you're honoring your own boundaries. You know your limits, and you know what you want and need. Don't pretend these things are not true. Honor them and let that set a baseline for your decisions. This is called self-respect.
"If Taureans are competitive, it's primarily with themselves. You never want to do anything worse than you did it last time. Your next effort has to be better. When this is not driving you a little nuts, it can really work for you; and it definitely works for those who benefit from your devoted efforts."
-- 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 now.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Too often, relationship partners take on the role of parents. This happens because we have few other models for how to have relationships, as dismal as that example may have been. You must be your own role model. Start by being willing to make difficult decisions. That will get you far.
"Like an aviator or a sailor or both at once, you must study the weather, within you and around you, and have many skills and tools for coexisting with it. You harness your energy from change itself. Knowing yourself is not a matter of having a fixed concept, but rather an honest and ongoing relationship with who you are."
-- 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 now.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You're usually the person to come to in a crisis. Though those born under your sign tend to be emotionally sensitive, when someone else is having a problem you tend to be ready, willing and able to help. However, first check whether someone is exaggerating, and respond appropriately.
"Whatever you are doing, the essential spirit of your chart is that you define yourself. You set your mission; you establish your reputation; you are the master of the experiment. If you want to accomplish anything beyond the routine level of success, that also entails the highest level of self-responsibility and inner authority."
-- 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 now.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You may hesitate to reveal something from your past, feeling as if the material is still too raw or unprocessed. Yet that's the time to get it out. You might try some art therapy to move things forward. Drawing, making a collage, using photos or writing things out in story form will be helpful.
"You are now in a moment where you get to review, rethink and recreate just about anything you want. This may involve any facet of your life. You have the opportunity to work from the roots of your existence upward, and outward. For now, stay close to the ground and work from your core reality."
-- 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 now.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- It would help if everyone were more forthcoming with their secrets, though you can get the ball rolling. You will feel freer and more relaxed if you're not holding on to anything. Revealing your truth will provide you with important data: are you actually respected? Does your perspective matter?
"Let everything point you back to you, as the focal point of your existence. This will enhance your capacity for relationships rather than diminish it. The more solidly you are present for yourself, the more solid you can be for others. But that's really beside the point; focusing your intimacy with yourself is its own reward."
-- 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 now.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Be careful of misunderstandings. The way to do that is to make sure you understand where others are coming from, rather than trying to get them to see your point of view. Keep the focus off of you and on them. Listen more than you speak, and ask for clarification if you need it.
"You may have been looking to the people you relate to directly -- that is, partners of various kinds -- for answers about the changes you're going through. The deeper truth is that something inside you is evolving and growing, and changes to your partnerships are a kind of secondary effect. The sum total is that your circumstances are conspiring for you to be highly self-reliant."
-- 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 now.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You're especially sensitive at the moment, so treat yourself with loving care. If you want to go out, go out. However, more to the point, if you want to stay in, stay in, and treat yourself to your favorite movie and comfort food. If you're going to hang out with anyone, make sure they're true friends.
"The essence of this message is that you must express your true self in every facet of your being, particularly in the work that you do. The tangible contribution you make to your community and the larger society is your single most dependable way to develop yourself, and to cultivate respect for yourself, and these angles of your chart are coming under strong, creative aspects this year."

Sagittarius Birthdays 2017-18:
How Will You Apply What You've Learned?
Your reading has given direction and meaning on how to proceed, to learn and move forward in these difficult, unsettling times and at the same time, inspiring me to tap into limitless creative gifts. Thank you, Eric; from my heart to your heart."
-- Ann Cortese, B.S., M.P.S.
Dear Friend and Reader:
Undoubtedly you've experienced quite a process of maturation these last three years or so, as you've responded to the need to bring real discipline to each way in which you express yourself in the world. With all hell seeming to break loose lately, it's possible this has been a painful or scary process for you.
Yet perhaps you've felt more solid within yourself than ever before -- and if you haven't, you still can.
In the coming month, the major force behind that growth process will shift: Saturn leaves your sign next month and enters Capricorn.
You'll get to take all the lessons you've recently learned and apply them in increasingly tangible ways to everything that matters most to you. This includes that most precious of all commodities in today's world: your self-esteem. Then, early next spring, Chiron -- raiser of awareness and magnifier of healing potential -- moves into your fellow fire sign Aries. Aries is your zone of play, creativity, adventurous risk, sex for fun and more.
Being someone with their Sun, rising sign or Moon in Sagittarius, you might feel like you have playful creativity already well covered. But what if it could be even better -- more fun, less guilt or baggage, more fulfilling?
Eric will be exploring the moves of Saturn, Chiron and more (including Uranus entering Taurus) in your 2017-18 Sagittarius Birthday Reading.
Comprising two astrology segments of at least 30 minutes each plus a tarot reading for your year, you can pre-order it now for the lowest price we offer: only $33 for the whole thing. All portions of the reading are recorded in studio-quality audio, and can be downloaded to your favorite device so you can listen as many times as you like throughout the year.
Note that the price of the reading will increase as publication approaches, and then again after it's been released. Planet Waves does not do Black Friday gimmicks, but we do reward you with the best price when you sign on early.
You get some of the clearest, most nuanced and jargon-free personal astrology available on the internet. Eric crafts these readings with the best of his life-coaching, cheerleading and problem-solving skills; the sensitivity of his therapy training; his uncanny knack to help you see challenges from a more empowering perspective; and with the kind of everyday, practical inspiration you can use immediately.
What more do you need to steer your life through the end of 2017 and into a new year?
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
Planet Waves Astrology Editor
P.S. Do you always forget your favorite Sagittarius friends' birthdays due to holiday distractions? Give the gift of the 2017-18 Sagittarius Birthday Reading today, and the thought may count more than ever.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You're more intelligent than you give yourself credit for being. It's typically the smarter people who are not so well understood by dumber ones, and the dim bulbs are usually who does the judging. Set this drama aside. Your mind works in unique ways. Confusion is the state before a breakthrough.
"You will thrive if you maintain a spirit of exploration and play in the work that you do. You might explore the idea that no matter what you do, you're doing the same thing: expressing your energy and love. If you discover that you don't feel so energetic or so loving, that's the time to consider why you're doing it. However, remember, many facets of your current astrology call for patience."
-- 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 now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- What exactly is bothering you? It will help if you put it into words, even if you have to scribble five pages in your journal to make one discovery. That seemingly small revelation will be worth a lot, if you remember it. One benefit will be getting underneath your seemingly cryptic motives.
"One thing to remember is that your integrity is not linked to your being unchanging. In fact, your integrity is about your ability to change in helpful ways, and not to resist what you need the most. As well, you must be honest with yourself and with others about your uncertainty. It's all too tempting, in times of profound change, to attempt to cling to some form of fundamentalism or false security."
-- 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 now.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may find that a disagreement provides you with a wealth of insight. Don't be too attached to your point of view. Rather than trying to prove anyone wrong, focus on getting them to reveal the basis of their beliefs. Take some time doing this, and apply this approach to everyone you meet.
"If you find some material you must confront, summon the might of Pluto to help you work through the details. When you discover that you're carrying around material from one or more of your ancestors, notice what it is, and offer it back to them. One thing you have going for you now is a rather hot spiritual fire burning. This is an excellent opportunity to burn off karma."
-- 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 now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Be patient as you approach a point of contact, or work to close a business deal. Do not play all your cards at once, and give others time to make their moves, and reveal their point of view. Above all, trust yourself and your potential, even if nobody else smiles or blinks an eye.
"When you look at these years in retrospect, they will clearly be a 'before and after' time. There are likely to be focal points of that transition; you may have experienced many 'befores' and 'afters', which add up to nothing less than a complete transformation in the form of embodying your own existence. This has taken many shapes, and in truth it's a process that, once ignited, keeps on going."
