Len Wallick | The Fair Side of Fowl
There is a so-called minor planet in our solar system that concluded its retrograde earlier today. The object's name is Chiron, and (as Len Wallick sees it) it's an occasion for you to put the "benefit" into "benefic" (even if for you there has been some inconvenience getting to this moment).

If Your Birthday is Dec. 7
(The Day of Idiosyncrasy) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You're in a rare position to attain mastery over how you present yourself to the world, and to get extraordinary results. If you use optimism, generosity and a positive mental orientation as your starting place, you will find it much easier to win friends and influence people. Approach the world from a friendly perspective and that's how the world will become to you.
Written in the Planets
Today the Sun opposes the centaur planet Asbolus, whose name means "carbon dust" or "soot." It might just as well refer to grit: Asbolus represents survival, and the human ability to overcome adversity: not necessarily by acts of conspicuous heroism, but rather by getting through, one day at a time. Thanks to recent events, many people are processing challenging memories; and in so doing are discovering new facets of their personal strength and courage. Today, honor yourself for your own resilience: whatever happened in the past, you're still here -- and, perhaps more importantly, you're still you.
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
You're in a rare position to attain mastery over how you present yourself to the world, and to get extraordinary results. If you use optimism, generosity and a positive mental orientation as your starting place, you will find it much easier to win friends and influence people. Approach the world from a friendly perspective and that's how the world will become to you. You share a birthday with Willa Cather, Noam Chomsky, and Sara Bareilles.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- If you invest less energy in thinking about the future, you'll discover that certain necessities take care of themselves. Focus on the present and on living life as fully as you can, despite any distractions. It may seem like your plans are in a state of flux, which is true enough. You'll come up with better ones.
"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."

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- We're in the midst of an unusual Mercury retrograde, and your solar chart depicts you looking for ways to describe things you might never talk about. This is a rare opportunity for self-discovery. Whoever you share with, remember: the conversation is really on what you learn about yourself.
"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) -- Don't be daunted by the seeming size or power of anyone in your life. Rather, strive to get along with people, and to use your genuinely artful talent for communication to find the common ground you share with others. You have a rare gift. Put it to work for you, and spread positive vibes.
"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) -- Take action on a financial matter today, such as bringing in sales, or raising money for a project. You may not think you're the greatest at money; but in fact you stand tall over many people around you, and lately you've shown that you have the golden touch. Don't be afraid to use it.
"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) -- A paintball gun is not a paintbrush, though you could use one to make some interesting artwork. You're under some unusual pressure right now, and you don't want to explode -- that would not be productive. But you can use this state of being for a helpful purpose, if you're self-aware.
"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) -- Don't let any fear of what you might discover keep you from going deeper into the questions that you're asking, or from acknowledging what you're learning. Ultimately the process you're in will set you free in a way that nothing ever has before. Make sure you reality-check with someone you trust.
"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're in contact with a much deeper truth than you may even recognize, though it's important that you treat this gently. Understate your case; and don't argue for it, or against someone else's viewpoint. Use your intelligence to ask the questions others might not dare to ask.
"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) -- Over the next few days, make sure that business and personal partners are careful with your money. They can do what they want with their own, though take an interest where your interests are at stake. This is not about malfeasance; it's only about misjudgment. Be alert for your own errors as well.
"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) -- Everyone thinks they know themselves. Then come the discoveries. What you learn about yourself over the next week may be intriguing, though pay attention for the potential it reveals. You've only had a glimpse of what you're capable of. The more you try, the more you'll accomplish.
"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) -- There is a golden lining to all your cares and concerns, and you may be starting to see it now. One thing you're learning is the strength of your spiritual connection, and how important it is to honor this aspect of yourself. Once you catch on, it will become your number one priority.
"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) -- You've learned a few times lately not to be enamored of power or authority. You don't want those things; they are not suited to your nature. What you are cut out for, though, is a form of social leadership that the world needs rather desperately right now. It looks like a circle, not a pyramid.
"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) -- Pay closer attention to the human dimension of what you're doing: the people you work with, the people you work for, and all those who support you. That's where the action is. Your talent and hard work have taken you far; your relationships will get you the rest of the way.
"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."
