This Week's Horoscope for Sagittarius by Eric Francis Coppolino
After nearly three years, Saturn is going to leave your sign this month. But not before it finishes its one contact to the Galactic Core in 30 years. We have with this image, or metaphor, one of the most tangible factors in all of astrology (Saturn, which builds, structures and regulates our perception of time) making contact with one of the most intangible (the Galactic Core, a spiritual homing signal). This is describing you bringing something into existence, based on what might feel like inspiration so subtle you cannot feel it. Alternately, you may feel cut off from your usual sense of inspiration and adventure: this depends on whether you consider Saturn a friend. You are a driven and inspired person. Your vision for life far exceeds what expectations others might offer you. You knew more than your guidance counselor and probably a lot more than your parents. Saturn in one's sign is always about fundamentally coming to terms with who you are. For you, that means the past few years have been about fully claiming your vision, your values and your right to be the person you are: the one who sees the world as different from how it currently is. Saturn will move on to Capricorn, lifting some pressure from you, and having given you something that nothing else can. Remember what you have learned, and who you are becoming.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 25
(The Day of Sustained Effort) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You are the one person in your life who can make room for an honest conversation about sensitive subjects. That's your role; that's what people count on you for. Focus your efforts on healing a family matter that has been nagging you for the past year or so. You know everything you need to know, and you have a true advantage: people trust you.
Written in the Planets
When you hear the phrase "anyone is capable of anything," how do you interpret it: as an acknowledgement of creative potential, or as a warning to beware of unethical behavior? Today's astrology would seem to indicate that both interpretations could be valid. Mercury's trine from Sagittarius to Uranus in Aries suggests great inventiveness and originality today. Yet Mercury is also conjunct Ixion, a centaur planet with a reputation for representing amoral behavior. You'll want to run any sudden brilliant ideas through the "would I still do this if everyone knew?" test; or, even better, the Golden Rule. It seems you have some help in this, thanks to Saturn conjunct the Galactic Core. No matter what your relationship to earthly authorities (including parents -- real or imagined), you know there's a higher power to which you answer. Love, honesty and respect will rarely steer you wrong.
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,

If Today is Your Birthday
You are the one person in your life who can make room for an honest conversation about sensitive subjects. That's your role; that's what people count on you for. Focus your efforts on healing a family matter that has been nagging you for the past year or so. You know everything you need to know, and you have a true advantage: people trust you. You share a birthday with Ricardo Montalban, Percy Sledge, and Christina Applegate.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You must set the example of how to have a real conversation about sensitive sexual, emotional or family matters. It's lovely that a conversation is happening in the wider world around us, such as in the media and social media. Now it's time for you to take this to heart, and bring it home.
"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) -- It's important to sort out your needs from your wants. This takes honesty and setting aside any sense of entitlement. More important, though, is learning how to receive what is offered to you. Allow other people to be generous, accept their gifts, and be gracious in the process.
"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) -- Some shadow of the past may be hanging over you, though it contains a dependable gateway to the future. The past is gone, everywhere but in your mind. Therefore, if you update your files and remind yourself continuously to stay in the present, you will see a path to the future.
"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 have an excellent ability to get people cooperating with one another. This is based on a clear motive: you know that nothing happens unless people work together. There are two keys to this: one is you must facilitate clear communication. Second, someone has to be in charge, and that would be you.
"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 need a creative way to process your emotions. There's something on your mind, and I suggest you not rush the process. Rather, take your time and take things in gradual steps. Also resist the temptation to "go it alone" and make sure you have a trusted friend you can confide in.
"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) -- Whether you like it or not, it seems inevitable that a real conversation will happen. Notice whether this actually threatens your security base in any way, and pay careful attention to whether someone acts like your peer, or your parent. This should be a discussion between two adults.
"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) -- You may be heading for a confrontation that you don't see coming. This is why it's vital that you listen carefully to the people around you, especially women. Gradually get people to express their true opinion, and use your Libra diplomacy to make them feel how important they are.
"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 cannot be anyone but who you are, and at the moment, that might be someone whom you're concerned others might not find socially acceptable. However, you're entitled to be as saucy or as lusty as you want, and let the opinions of others roll off your back. You must make your own choices.
"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) -- If you're facing a deadline or a mental block of some kind (or perhaps both), there's an easy solution. It involves taking an entirely creative and unconventional approach to get a legitimate result. It would seem that the goal itself is what you need to reassess first; it may be a moot point.
"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) -- The past weighs on everyone to some degree. There are a few among us who have managed to slip out and live in the present, facing the future. More often, people are snagged in their history like so much bubble gum on a hot day. Today's aspects will help you break free from that.
"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) -- It seems you're stuck on something old, when you can be counting on something new. This will require you to turn around and face the future rather than lingering around the past. The Sun moving through one of the most exciting angles of your chart in the next few weeks will help.
"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) -- Much that seemed stuck in the mud, in the ice or in your mind will be coming free over the next few days. You may be surprised how fast things move, and wonder why there has to be an all-or-nothing scenario. However, remind yourself that it's better to have it all than to have nothing.
"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."
