Amanda Painter | Time to Get Practical: Venus in Capricorn
Mercury is beginning to shake out following its recent retrograde (which ended Friday night, but which might still be reverberating for you). Amanda Painter notes this should help you to unwind anything that got tightly wound recently. Continued new activity in Capricorn, a sign of initiative, should assist as well.

Next Full Moon is in Cancer on Jan. 1-2 at 6:24 pm PST / 9:24 pm EST (02:24:00 UTC).
Corresponding New Moon in Capricorn is on Jan. 16-17 at 6:17 pm PST / 9:17 pm EST (02:17:09 UTC).
Moon Sign: Moon is in Aries and enters Taurus tonight at 10:23 pm PST / 1:23 am Dec. 28 EST (06:23:05 UTC).

If Your Birthday is Dec. 27
(The Day of the Clever Contributor) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Confidence is rarely handed to you like a holiday gift, though your astrology is describing just that. Yet to have this gift, you must receive it consciously. True self-assurance is quiet, it's subtle and it's mostly experienced inwardly. It's the feeling of knowing that you're right with yourself; that you have what you need, or you're capable of getting it. These things are true.
Written in the Planets
The asteroid Eros, in early Capricorn, makes a series of aspects today. When Venus makes the same aspects tomorrow into Friday, you may have an opportunity to reinforce any insights that come through regarding how you express your sexual energy, and its practical applications in intimate relationships. Understanding how things came to be as they are could spur you to action; and insights regarding old sexual patterns and current fears could lend assistance toward crossing a threshold. Tomorrow's approaching trine between Mars in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces offers integrity and heightened awareness of others' sexual and emotional needs and desires. Use that awareness with compassion.
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
Confidence is rarely handed to you like a holiday gift, though your astrology is describing just that. Yet to have this gift, you must receive it consciously. True self-assurance is quiet, it's subtle and it's mostly experienced inwardly. It's the feeling of knowing that you're right with yourself; that you have what you need, or you're capable of getting it. These things are true. You share a birthday with Louis Pasteur, Marlene Dietrich, and John Amos.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Slow down and notice any important changes in how you relate to work. New developments are calling on you to take more responsibility for the world around you. Be aware of what needs to be organized, taken care of and attended to, and bring all your talent to the task.
"One gift you get from Pluto in Capricorn is the ability to align your goals with the rapidly changing conditions of the world. You are in an excellent position to take advantage of the shifting, quaking and shaking state of society. This of course requires being present and not being afraid when things get really real. You can and must look for the opportunities presented by change."
-- 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 will help if you focus on the common interests you share with a partner or loved one. There are plenty. Relationships are built on shared values and not on differences. Spotting these aspects of life may take some effort on your part, especially if you feel like your space is being crowded.
"If you ever feel lost or misguided, come back to purpose, which you will know when you feel it. Experiment all you need to. The more you experiment with bringing purpose and meaning to the surface of your consciousness, and consider them carefully, the more strength you will have; the more persistence; and more motivation and energy."
-- 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) -- You now have no choice but to take your commitments seriously, which means fulfilling them to the best of your ability, changing them, or getting out of them. What's different about your current scenario is that everything must be done by mutual agreement, to the extent that's possible.
"The dualism of Gemini is well known; you can live in a world of relative truth, which might work for you -- though consider how it works for those you influence. Pisces is the place in the zodiac where opposites are integrated and resolved, and for you this happens through your most meaningful work."
-- 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 care not to get caught in work-related dramas. Instead, work with those in leadership and coordinate getting things done. The next few days will be busy for everyone, and you can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. When in doubt, stay out of the way.
"Living in peace with your desire is one commitment to make to yourself. As you do this, it will have an influence on your relationships. This is to say, as you raise your energy and commit to being real with what you want, others will take notice. Ultimately the result will be living in your body rather than in your head."
-- 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) -- With so many planets moving through your house of work and self-maintenance, having a good time may be the last thing on your mind. However, if you prioritize and only focus on taking care of actual necessities, you'll feel like you're under much less pressure, and can get the job done.
"If you consider yourself to be at the center of your social circle, or an integral part of your community, the changes you make in your own life constitute a form of leadership for the people around you. You can count on the fact that the people who look up to you are waiting for your initiative."
-- 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 need a space to do your own thing. What you don't need is anyone's permission. You're allowed to have the fun you want, to do the projects you want, and to share the love that you want to share. Just make sure you get out of any commitments that don't support that.
"The universe is not usually embraced all at once, nor is your place in the universe. Rather, you engage with it in momentary interactions, and you make it with everything you make, everyone you speak to, everyone and everything you touch. Imagine that in each of those contacts, you weave existence, and give life to the world."
-- 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) -- The most significant change in this new phase of your life will be your orientation on home and family. In recent years you've done plenty to establish your independence, and not be emotionally tethered to your relatives. Now it's time to form your own tribe, with its own purpose.
"Trust yourself, and trust your body, if you embody what I call the thresholder. The thresholder is one whose role is to bring others to the edge. You can only take them to the edge; they must cross over themselves. Others can only take you to the edge; you must cross over it yourself, and see who welcomes you on the other side of the journey."
-- 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 have a lot on your mind. Yet you don't need all the answers, and you don't have to solve all the riddles, problems or issues at once. Take them one at a time, starting with the one you care about the most. Then see how that goes, get some momentum, and feel your confidence.
"Make some peace with what you really feel beneath the surface tension of appearances. The reason that staying superficial is so popular is because it negates feeling. Yet every facet of your astrology is saying that it's essential to go deep -- and that depth is an essential element in feeling good about who you are, and discovering 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.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may have to consider the opinions of others more than you want, though it's not really a big deal. Someone close to you wants to be heard, and you would be well served to listen. This is not an instruction that you have to obey but rather an opinion you need to take on board.
"You might think of Saturn as the one missing and necessary ingredient in Sagittarius. It's not an easy mix. It is, however, a imperative one, if you want to get anything done; if you want to claim your full personhood. To live free means to take up responsibility for your destiny."

Capricorn Birthdays 2018
A Blessing from the Cosmos
"The Capricorn 2017 Birthday Reading was expansive and mind-blowing, and absolutely on the money in everything. You helped me immeasurably as I change and change and grow, and change some more. What a time!"
-- Linsey
Dear Friend and Reader:
Last week, your ruling planet Saturn entered your sign -- and is now joined by the Sun, Venus and some lesser-known bodies. Some people fear Saturn; but for you its arrival so close to the solstice is a blessing from the cosmos.
If you're someone with a Capricorn Sun, rising sign or Moon, Saturn in your sign the next three years is a reminder that if you set a goal and are willing to work toward it, nothing is out of reach. It can be hard to feel that way in this day and age, but now you have a powerful ally in your corner.
One of your most meaningful tasks for the coming four seasons is defining yourself in a way that's not dependent upon tribal identity. How exactly do you do that? Eric will be covering that -- along with the opportunities, challenges and essential mission of Saturn in your sign -- in your 2018 Capricorn Birthday Reading.
He'll also cover 2018's other major planetary sign changes in your reading (Uranus into Taurus, your zone of play and creative risk-taking; and Chiron into Aries, your zone of home and the emotional landscape) -- plus additional aspects throughout (and beyond) the year that add nuance and offer creative opportunity.
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.
"Your work has always offered me food for thought, options to consider and clarity when needed. Thank you very much for what you do and how you present it."
-- Victoria Bouet
You get two 30-minute astrology segments and a separate tarot reading for your year. When you pre-order your Capricorn reading, you secure the lowest price we offer: only $33. This price increases as we near publication, and then it increases again when it's ready.
Happy Birthday, Capricorn!
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
P.S. The 2018 Capricorn Birthday Reading is distinctly different from the Capricorn written reading available in the upcoming Art of Becoming annual project. It covers your key astrology in a different format and emphasis, capitalizing on Eric's more intuitive, improvisational skills. The Birthday Reading also makes a fantastic gift for a loved one!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You're feeling more grounded in yourself, though there seems to be something irritating you. It's like you have a concern that you cannot quite name, or a question you cannot formulate. Rather than pressing yourself for an answer, listen quietly and take things slowly. It will come to you.
"The thing is, your future self is not as easy to perceive as your past self. Every transit I've described adds up to you developing in ways that you simply cannot predict, and which therefore amount to a daunting unknown. In order to face who you are becoming, you must face that unknown."
-- 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 are at an important turning point between the past and the future, though you're the one who must guide your life forward. You cannot count on circumstances to do it for you. You know what you don't want. You know what you want. Know the difference, and act on it.
"The fantasy is simple; you're in control. The reality is more complex; feelings are involved. I recommend trying anything that you're bringing out of fantasy at least three times before you make up your mind. Gradually work your way into it. Build your courage. Find the right people and persist in your experiment. Let curiosity drive you."
-- 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) -- Over the next 12 months, being properly paid for your work is a top priority. For this to happen, though, you will need a plan; you'll need better information; and you will need the support of your friends and allies. There's no rush, though important resources are becoming available right now.
"There really is no mission, career or vocation: there is you, becoming who you are. I feel like I keep saying this, though this notion keeps coming up in your astrology. You're not really changing; rather, your inner essence is emerging in a way that is both unstoppable and undeniable. And this you can express as mission."
