Illinois Democratic Congressmember Luis Gutierrez announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election, because he instead plans to focus on rebuilding Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. This comes as the Federal Emergency Management Agency reportedly gave more than $30 million in contracts to a company called Bronze Star, LLC, which failed to deliver any aid.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 30
(The Day of Measured Attack) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have two competing forces in your psyche at the moment: the desire to rebel, and the desire to please others. While these might be seen as having equal value, they don't really. How much of your life have you spent conforming to what you think others want? Probably way too much. You have a strong independent streak, and you're restless.
Written in the Planets
Mercury is working its way into storm phase territory. As a result, communications could start to become a little trickier; this might be especially true today, with the Moon joining an aspect pattern involving Mars, Juno, Uranus and Eris. Watch your words, especially in matters where you might feel anger or frustration. Express yourself honestly, clearly and as calmly as possible. Think carefully before you speak, and read over that email before you send it. Above all, remember that none of us is perfect. A little forgiveness may go a long way.
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 30, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You have two competing forces in your psyche at the moment: the desire to rebel, and the desire to please others. While these might be seen as having equal value, they don't really. How much of your life have you spent conforming to what you think others want? Probably way too much. You have a strong independent streak, and you're restless. You share a birthday with Mark Twain, Robert Guillaume, and Kaley Cuoco.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Make sure that you negotiate and use diplomacy rather than fight. You're likely to lose a fight and win at negotiation. That should be more than enough incentive. However, there's something else: which is that you're currently negotiating some important long-term plan, and must think of the future.
"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) -- You may be feeling agitated and insomniac, whether literally or figuratively. The next few nights, make an effort to wind down early. Slow your activity and put down your devices. Either that, or set things up so you can be awake all night, whether to work or play -- whatever's on your agenda.
"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) -- In any controversy, public or private, you must be the voice of reason, or stay back. You may not be able to solve the problem, though you would be wise to avoid taking sides in any argument. There's an X factor involved. There is missing information that will come out soon.
"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) -- Expect the unexpected today, especially at work. People around you are under pressure that you may not have observed or given a name to yet; though tune in and listen, and you'll get a sense of what is going on. Do your part and be supportive, even if there seems to be no reward involved.
"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 have all kinds of innovative ideas about what you want to do with your future. I suggest you draw up a set of plans that you have ready to proceed with starting right after the winter solstice. Set one modest goal and one you think is out of reach. Notice which is easier to attain.
"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) -- You may be feeling an overwhelming need to break free of some emotional constraint, and just as hesitant to dare. If you sit with your situation, you'll discover what it is that's holding you back. Clue: it's not anything new. It's so old, your eldest relatives had to deal with it.
"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) -- For the next few days, pay special attention when doing anything even vaguely dangerous, such as climbing on a chair, chopping an onion, or driving a car. Make sure you're in the right state of mind, and that you apply mindfulness. As the Quakers say, walk lightly on the Earth.
"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) -- Venus is at the end of her run through your sign, which began three weeks ago. You might have some interesting conversations as she changes signs into Sagittarius. Intimate subjects that seemed impenetrable, or which you avoided, may be ready for a genuine conversation.
"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:
Not What You Think: Your Personal Mercury Retrograde
Dear Friend and Reader:
I know what you're wondering: how can Mercury retrograde not be what you think, when Mercury is, in fact, the planet representing the mind? What I mean is this: Mercury retrograde phases have a bad rap for being nothing but trouble; but used well, they can be incredibly useful phases of time for review and deep introspection.
So, you might say that if you have your Sun or rising sign in Sagittarius, then Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign on Sunday really isn't about 'what' you think; it's about how you think.
The weeks between Dec. 3 and Dec. 22 could actually be incredibly useful for getting to the bottom of certain beliefs and thought patterns you have, among other things.
What does it mean to start your solar year with Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign? Eric will walk you through this and all of the biggest astrological events of the next 12 months in your 2017-18 Sagittarius Birthday Reading.
With Saturn, Chiron and Uranus all changing signs soon, you'll find certain areas of your life changing in tone and emphasis. For example, what will it mean to have the planet of awareness and healing (Chiron) move into your house of play, creativity, adventurous risk, and sex for fun (Aries)?
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. You get some of the clearest, most nuanced and jargon-free personal astrology available on the internet.
Best of all, the two astrology segments (approximately 30 minutes each) and tarot reading that Eric records for you are completely different from the written Sagittarius reading that will be part of the 2018 annual edition. The Birthday Reading has a more jazz-like feeling, lending it to Eric's knack for uncanny, spontaneous insights and nuance -- and it's recorded with the Sun in your sign.
You can pre-order the 2017-18 Sagittarius Birthday Reading for the lowest price we offer: only $33. The price of the reading will increase as publication approaches, and then again after it's been released.
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
Planet Waves Astrology Editor
P.S. If you know someone with a Sagittarius Sun or rising sign who's been having a rough time this year, consider giving them the 2017-18 Sagittarius Birthday Reading as a gift. We could all use a friendly cheerleader these days.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Many fear that if they venture to resolve certain matters from the past, they'll descend into a wormhole and never escape. By this logic, it's better to leave things unfinished. That, however, is not an option for you. So get about setting your house in order, and make way for the future.
"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) -- Note your anxieties over the next few days. What, exactly, are you worried about? Then, as you discover one by one that they were not based in reality, by which I mean that they didn't actually come true, let it inform your relationship to fear and worry. You can get on top of this one.
"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."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you've succeeded at nothing else lately, it's been carving out a place for yourself and the work that you do. You may not think so, though you've made real progress at finding your niche. You can test that theory out different ways. For example, consider where else you might fit in so well.
"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) -- Watch your outflow of cash, even if your income is strong at the moment. You will need your resources for more relevant purposes, including a project that involves bringing in more money. If you have priorities, make a game out of accomplishing them in a way that costs little to 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."
