This Week's Horoscope for Sagittarius by Eric Francis Coppolino
The astrology in your sign isn't just the magic teacup ride. It's not the double-loop roller coaster. It's not the fun house or the tunnel of love. It's the whole darned amusement park, in all sincerity, outstripping anything I've ever seen (and Sagittarius, for whatever reason, always puts on a fantastic show). However, two elements stand out. Venus is in your sign, which is providing you with resources, charm and a blessing from the goddess. And Saturn has just cleared its conjunction to the Galactic Core, and is about to enter Capricorn. This is the culmination of a major phase of your life. Mercury retrograde is calling you to review the last three years carefully, to consider what you've learned, and to spot anything unresolved and clear it up. Then, prepare to plunge forward into the unknown, that favorite haunt of Sagittarius. You were born for adventure. Your mind is big enough to wrap around the whole world and a good bit more. Stand your full height, and light your flaming arrow.
You may read all 12 signs here.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 12
(The Day of Body Language) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It's your choice who you accept into your life and who you do not. And you'll want to exercise that power consciously this year, allowing certain people to be close to you and keeping others at a safe distance, as you see fit. Yet even if you have a high standard, it must be one that others can meet. It must be attainable, that is, if you want to share your life with others.
Written in the Planets
This week's astrology includes several key events as we lead up to Saturn changing signs in one week. Today, the conjunction between Vesta and Jupiter in Scorpio could take many forms; one of which is the need to expand our collective sense of devotion to sexual healing, and to hold space for that process in ourselves and in others. This might mean allowing yourself to focus more on pleasure, or on unspoken desires. Has sexual pleasure, and the deep psychological benefits that can ripple out from it, been missing for you? For many people, there's tremendous pain and trauma to be worked through in this realm; though as with surfing, you also have to remember to look where you want to go in order to get there. Today's Mercury-Sun conjunction in Sagittarius marks the midpoint of Mercury's current retrograde. Hang in there -- and continue to double-check the details of everything you plan to do, say or buy.
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
It's your choice who you accept into your life and who you do not. And you'll want to exercise that power consciously this year, allowing certain people to be close to you and keeping others at a safe distance, as you see fit. Yet even if you have a high standard, it must be one that others can meet. It must be attainable, that is, if you want to share your life with others. You share a birthday with Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, and Jennifer Connelly.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- What most relationships need is a conversation about the things most people avoid. You're being drawn in this direction, and someone close to you may be open to reaching a deeper understanding. Remember that the most important level on which to make contact is the spiritual level: your deepest truth.
"Self-awareness, both of your thoughts and of your conduct, is your most powerful tool to influence your experience of growth into the new forms that you are. This includes reaching deep enough into yourself that you make some contact with the aspect of you that is timeless and changeless."
-- 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) -- Sex is typically seen as merely physical, which then can be infused with romance to make it mean something. However, you're not only capable of going much deeper; you're actually doing it. You're also in a once-in-a-lifetime phase of learning. You will never pass this way again, so learn well.
"There is a genuine skill in creative mastery that involves standing back from judging what you've created. You might listen to what other people say; you might work until what you're doing feels good; you might take a swashbuckling attitude and not care; you might trust the fact that you always strive to do better (or any of these at the right moment)."
-- 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) -- If you admire someone, know that you contain what you love. You can recognize talent, beauty and intelligence because in some way you possess those things, whether now or in potential. Sincere admiration is a form of aspiration. Be determined to grow in the direction of the light.
"You're the one who has to negotiate between your potential and what you do with it. This is an active, everyday challenge being a Gemini. The world can seem so much bigger than you are, and in one way it is -- but your mind is the thing that encompasses the world, all the world's people and all your experiences there."
-- 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) -- Pay close attention to the opinions of a female colleague. You may think this person is arrogant or claims greater knowledge than she has, but that's unlikely to be relevant. Listen carefully and then consider what you hear, not for five minutes or for an hour, but for several days.
"Notice your true feelings for people and make peace with the fact that you feel that way. You may have had a habit of resisting intimacy, and now you have little choice but to yield and open up to allowing others to touch your soul. In this way, you will come to the direct experience of growing into the soul dimension of your 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.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You now have some clarity around a professional matter that was puzzling you just a few days ago. Yet with Mercury retrograde, you will want to proceed with caution and make sure everything you believe is true. This will require some patience and active willingness to verify your observations.
"Rather than thinking of yourself as the entity that holds all the planets in orbit, think of yourself as someone who grounds the Sun into the Earth. This is actually what you do in the physical and spiritual sense, and it grants you some relief from the much larger responsibility of providing all the power and all the gravity."
-- 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'll need to remember your priorities in the face of various challenges and distractions. Someone could write a whole opera about this, or maybe a soap opera. It's one of those great themes of the human race -- and of this particular day. Make a list of what you need to do, and stick to it.
"There comes that time in any growth or improvement project where you have to ease back, have a glass of wine or even smoke a cigarette. Radical, I know. However, you're at a stage of your life where you must follow your own rules, and to do that, your rules must be practical and workable."
-- 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) -- If you appreciate meaningful conversations, the next few days will be some of the most exciting in recent memory. All kinds of issues are in the air. People are asking real questions. Some even have helpful ideas. Start the discussion, and keep it moving. You will be doing the world a favor.
"Rather than being a clear mirror, relationships can often feel like a house of smoke and mirrors. This is especially a concern due to the experience of projection: ascribing to others feelings that are actually your own. Anais Nin is credited with saying, 'We don't see things as they are. We see them as we 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.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- If for some reason some aspect of your relationships or sex life has come to a halt, the universe is sending you a message: It's time to establish new lines of communication. Let's face it, you would benefit from having them, and the invention would be on the level of the light bulb.
"The self-esteem theme, described by the union of your 1st and 2nd houses, is the claiming back of your natural desire as a birthright. If you are in doubt about what you want, or if you consider it a potential moral affront, it's difficult to feel good about yourself. For you, taking possession of desire is integral to your respect of yourself."

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) -- Note that others may think you're copping a superior attitude, even if you're doing nothing of the kind. You might make an extra effort to be polite, hold doors and offer to help kids with their math homework, though that probably won't make much difference. Be yourself, no matter what they say.
"The overwhelming message of this series of South Node eclipses is that you must get beyond your own past, and find the present. Finding the present means sorting out your emotional reality to the point where you understand what happened, and what it means -- and use it as a source of strength rather than of weakness."
-- 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) -- One sign of maturity is the willingness, and the ability, to spend time alone, and to be at peace doing so. How are you doing with that one? Do you always need people around you, or can you spend extended periods of time in pleasant solitude? Take an hour or two today, and experiment.
"If you're worried about your reputation, this is merely another way of assigning power over yourself to others. You cannot control what anyone thinks, and no matter how pure, sinister, friendly, loving, raunchy, talented or slothy you might be, people will think what they want. What they might think is not your business."
-- 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) -- Focus your agenda over the next few days. Allow the irrelevant bits to be filtered out. Invest your energy into what you know is going to get positive results, such as solving a problem or making something that you need. You won't miss what does not matter one single bit.
"It looks to me like you need to call an end to a certain line of conduct or thinking that has been in your family for a while. The opportunity you have is based on the fact that you can actually see this issue for what it is. It's normally difficult to discern, and it's been masked or veiled recently by its prevalence in society. Once you have it in your sights, address it on the spot."
-- 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) -- You have the power to make a truly positive impact, though you might consider what that could be. It's vital you consider that your words and your actions have a reach that goes far beyond what you may think. You are broadcasting at full power. Don't wait for proof; there's not time for that.
"You mean a great deal to the people close to you, and though they may not say anything about it, they certainly know it. If it ever seems that people benefit from you more than you benefit from them, rejoice in that fact. You need less than they do; you are more complete in yourself than most people around you; and anyway, that self-completion is the major theme of your astrology."
