If Your Birthday is Dec. 6
(The Day of Extraction) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Normally you would rather not have your space crowded, though it's time to acknowledge that you need some loving contact with your fellow creatures. That will mean more closeness than you're accustomed to. If you think this will shape up your life, even a little, you're correct. When intimacy is offered to you, you'll be happiest if you go toward it and not away.
Written in the Planets
Retrograde Mercury is sliding back over its recent contacts with Saturn, Pholus and the Galactic Core. You may find yourself reconsidering insights you came to last week, especially regarding parent-child dynamics or your authority over your life. Or you may find yourself diving deeper into whatever 'cosmic message' came through. Listen carefully to that inner voice; notice any parallels, echoes or inversions; and be sure to take notes. 'Ah ha' moments that come with contacts to the Galactic Core sometimes have a way of getting forgotten, so it's nice to leave yourself a bread-crumb trail to follow. This will be especially useful come early January, when Mercury moves through the territory for a third time. By then, the landscape will have shifted somewhat -- but the lessons gleaned now are likely to still be useful.
New Features Added:
Understanding Key Life Transits of Saturn, Chiron and Uranus
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
Normally you would rather not have your space crowded, though it's time to acknowledge that you need some loving contact with your fellow creatures. That will mean more closeness than you're accustomed to. If you think this will shape up your life, even a little, you're correct. When intimacy is offered to you, you'll be happiest if you go toward it and not away. You share a birthday with Ira Gershwin, Linda Creed, and Ryan White.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Things sure have been exciting lately. Recent developments seem to have turned certain plans on their ear. However, these developments will work to your advantage in the end, because once you re-think your situation, you will see that you needed a better design scheme, and better timing.
"One's relationship to change is the underlying reality that determines how one handles transits. This relationship counts for a lot now, and you would be wise to bring it to full awareness. What you're currently experiencing is the culmination of six years of nonstop and ever-increasing energy. All of that has been excellent preparation. Now, you're experiencing the actual threshold, the invocation of your new 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 now.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Be flexible about agreements. Taurus is a fixed sign, which means you sometimes cling to structure for a sense of stability. Yet you're now in territory requiring you to be negotiable, and to toss the ball back and forth lightly. The right question is more meaningful than the answer.
"You possess actual creativity, actual devotion and a strong tendency to be ethical. If you don't let fear contaminate your mind, you will be able to connect these things in the form of your true vocation. If you are involved in what you consider to be your true vocation, you will have opportunities to go deeper and to bring in something that has the power to change you and change the world around you. That's the mark of truth: it's alive, it's active, it's provocative, and it compels you to establish an ongoing relationship with it."
-- 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) -- Proceed with the utmost care in all of your relationships: your partner, your colleagues, your boss, your family, and the person who cleans the lobby of your building. Everything is in a state of delicate balance and you must step lightly where you tread. Seek understanding first, above all else.
"The two most significant aspects of life -- love, and work -- are coming in at full strength. You're in a moment unlike any other you've lived through, at least speaking from the viewpoint of your astrology. It's all so much that you might not be so thrilled; you may not see the opportunities in the wild mash-up of factors that are influencing your life. To begin with, I am here to remind you that you're larger than it all."
-- 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) -- Today you can see the world from every direction at once. That will be an excellent advantage to have, and will put you in a position of leadership. You can take everyone's views under consideration, and actually make a decision that serves the best interests of everyone who's involved.
"You are the kind of person who must become your intentions and give everything all you've got. You feel better when you do this, even if you're having to stretch a little. Being half-hearted does not suit you. You are a whole-hearted person, you want to feel that fully, and you want to be appreciated for what you do. This is the essence of self-esteem and it's currently one of the most basic elements of your astrology."
-- 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) -- Don't fall for being a frustrated artist, a frustrated lover, or a frustrated anything. You are bigger than your circumstances; you're bigger than your mind. Everything you see around you, and feel within you, is a resource; and you must use it as such, if you want to accomplish anything.
"The more you take a proactive and creative role, the less it will feel like changes are happening to you and the more it will feel like you are working with the incoming forces to create the change that you want. Therefore, pay close attention to just what that is: know what you want to change. I suggest you work with two lists: what you want to resolve or eliminate, and what you want to create. Both will happen as part of the same process."
-- 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 need quiet time to reflect on what's happening in your family or household environment. You are learning a lot, and you must process this information. Conversations with select relatives, particularly those older than you, will be helpful. Take your time and assemble the puzzle.
"You could say that apart from all the psychological concepts attached to self-esteem, the experience you're looking for is feeling good about who you are. This is a feeling, not a concept. Rather than strive for the feeling, the thing to do is give yourself the experiences that you want; the experiences that will enrich you and help you develop into your personhood. To feel good about yourself, it's vital that you know how to express who you are, and what you feel."
-- 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 have a lot to say right now, and remember: what you speak or write, you're likely to revise. So don’t be too certain of yourself; leave yourself room to be wrong, and be grateful when additional information comes in. Be careful what you publish, because nobody reads the corrections.
"Your workplace must be not just habitable but truly supportive. You simply must like the place where you work, or you risk your mental and emotional health. Others can get by with jobs they hate, or substandard working environments; you cannot. Therefore, invest the time and energy that you need to have a place of work that supports your creativity, your health and your wellbeing."
-- 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) -- Lately, your life seems to be an exercise in what you cannot have. Yet you've also seen what you can do without, and can sort out the difference between a want and a need. With that information, it will be easier to set priorities. Make sure you include a few desires among your necessities.
"You must gather with people who share common values with you. You can no longer afford to invest your precious time and psychic energy with people who do not embody the highest vibration of what you desire, and know to be true. You will feel better about yourself when you can speak openly about what you value the most, and spend time with those who share your spiritual goals and your purpose for living."

Sagittarius Astrology Reading by Eric Francis is Ready!
Dear Friend of Planet Waves:
This weekend, I completed the astrology portion of the Sagittarius reading. I wanted to make sure it was recorded before Mercury stationed retrograde in your sign, and before the Full Moon in your opposite sign.
We're in an astonishing moment globally, challenging though it is -- though, for Sagittarius, it's particularly amazing. Saturn is set to leave your sign. Mercury will be retrograde for the next three weeks, highlighting the Saturn-Pholus-Galactic Core conjunction.
This is rock-and-roll astrology, and I've done a reading to match the vibrant, growth-oriented and downright beautiful quality of your charts.
We have two astrology sessions for you right now. In the first, I describe the process of Saturn in Sagittarius, and what Mercury retrograde is suggesting you do, in preparation for Saturn's change of signs.
I also talk about why Sagittarius is an utterly unusual sign, containing two deep-space points that can serve as a direct connection to source. I also talk about the relationship of Chiron to Sagittarius, which describes how to harness this energy.
In the second section, I look forward: to the sign changes of Saturn, Chiron and Uranus, which take hold between now and your next birthday. These three sign changes take us beyond the Uranus square Pluto era (2011-2015) and into the next distinct phase of astrology -- a short but powerful one that will peak in 2020 (the Saturn conjunct Pluto era).
This is fresh, alive astrology that's easy to follow. I am at my best as a motivational speaker, wherein it's my role to make your own potential compelling to you.
You can get the reading at the current order price of $44. In a month or so, your tarot reading will follow along.
The reading includes many resources, such as articles relevant to your astrology that will provide helpful backstory, and your 2017 written reading from The Book of Your Life.
(Yes, we are over-delivering here, though the moment calls for it.)
Get instant access now!
With love, your friendly neighborhood astrologer --
P.S. If you've never listened to one of my audio readings, you're invited to check out last year's Sagittarius reading as a gift. It's a great way to review your last year during this Mercury retrograde phase, and prepare to make the most of your new reading.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Some of the most spectacular, and strangest, astrology in recent memory is happening in your sign right now. It's all preparation for the future. You're being called to do something that people so rarely do: resolve old business, so that you're ready to move forward with a clear head.
"To succeed, your work plan must have metes and bounds. You must choose the things you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe, and these choices must be prioritized. This does not mean that you will follow your plans exactly, and you'll very likely alter your priorities as you proceed. Yet it's essential to start with some organized scheme, so that you have an overview, and you have a first draft to revise."
-- 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) -- Remember well all the fuss and fury of these last weeks before Saturn enters your sign. Remember what you were thinking when you were up at night: what you were worried about, what you wanted, what you didn't understand. It will all disappear like smoke on Dec. 19.
"You are someone who is more connected to the wider flow of the human experience than you might otherwise be. Even if you're not an official leader, or into politics, you are connected (often rather consciously) to aspects of life that extend far beyond yourself. This connection sometimes comes bursting into your life when you're not vaguely interested. Sometimes you feel it as a direct calling, and you may or may not know what to do with that."
-- 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) -- Rare aspects associated with your ruling planet Saturn may have you worried about your place in society. Yet, over the past few years, you've done an excellent job carving out a niche for yourself. Mind your integrity at all times, do your best work, and be helpful. This astrology will work for you.
"Within the morphogenetic fields of your sign is an inbred rebelliousness of mind. This comes with the refusal to accept patterns imposed by others; the capacity to hybridize one's views and have original positions on social and political issues; which in turn leads to a kind of eccentricity that is very much a quality of your nature. So too is a distinct inventiveness, if you can keep your mind awake, alert and young."
-- 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) -- The planets have been on fire lately, pushing all limits. Nearly all of this movement has been in Sagittarius, your house of career, achievement and reputation. You have been busy, so busy that you may not be able to keep track of things. Slow down a little, and notice what you're accomplishing.
"After many adventures, misadventures, developments, challenges and crises, you've integrated the many seemingly separate facets of who you were into someone who you now most distinctly are. I suggest you make a study of this gradual transformation that's taken over your life, and which is nearly complete. Feel the ways in which you've worked out problems that seemed to have no solution. Notice how your confidence level has increased."
