If Your Birthday is Jan. 6
(The Day of Substantiation) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Your prospects for improving your professional income are better than ever, though this is a claim you must make for yourself. There are two elements involved. One is having a goal you might think is out of reach. The second is doing what you actually care about, and doing it well. Know the ways your talent benefits others, and work that angle.
| Current Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
Stop yourself every time you notice yourself saying, "But what would my [mother/father/family] think?" This may be subtle; it may be below the level of tangible inner dialog, though the message will still come through.

Current Capricorn Monthly Horoscope
Saturn's return to your birth sign describes a sense of completeness you have not felt for a very long time, if ever. Take a moment to collect yourself: a week or two of reflecting on your goals and preparing your mind.

Written in the Planets
With Mercury in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries, stay open to sudden, unexpected ideas. Accompanying astrology -- namely the Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio, which is making additional aspects -- is just ready and waiting for you to act on your brainstorms. Remember: goals and desires are not achieved simply by thinking about them. You have to do your part; and right now, there's some real traction you can use to your advantage if you're willing to get busy.
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. Note: These videos are only included if you get all 12 signs. You may choose your individual signs.
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 January 6, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Your prospects for improving your professional income are better than ever, though this is a claim you must make for yourself. There are two elements involved. One is having a goal you might think is out of reach. The second is doing what you actually care about, and doing it well. Know the ways your talent benefits others, and work that angle. You share a birthday with Joan of Arc, John Singleton, and Eddie Redmayne.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Rely on others for their wisdom, particularly those people who are closest to you. This doesn't mean doing everything someone else says; rather, work with the information and ideas that you get, make them your own, and continue to seek deeper understanding. Knowledge really is power.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You have your own original ideas about life. You're never going to conform to what others believe, so scratch that off your list of things to worry about. You have the strength to think for yourself, which isn't always easy. Don't believe anyone who says that your ideas -- or you -- are somehow wrong.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You may not see eye to eye with certain people, though that's because your perspective is from a hilltop rather than from a valley. Others seem to be emphasizing the personal or private elements of the situation while your concern is for everyone involved, and for the future.
"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."

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Over the next few days, a rare planetary setup will present you with some unusual opportunities to connect with people. This has been forming for a little while, and someone you recently met may also fit the pattern. Here's the most important thing you can do: know what you want.
"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."

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Usually, what's actually creative is provocative. A real idea will make you squirm a little. If by chance this includes something a bit kinky, you're on to something that could be a lot of fun and that will also teach you something about life. Experiment with words first, and actions second.
"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."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Notice whenever you're feeling 'less than' -- less intelligent, less beautiful, less flexible. These are all the same thing, based on the same error. You have everything you need, starting with brainpower; and if you can put your thoughts into action, you'll see just how effective you really are.
"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."

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Money becomes toxic when it's the only thing that matters, or when it's an end in itself. You have many important priorities on your mind, and many things you want to accomplish. Finances are an essential ingredient, though they're not the purpose of what you're doing, only a facilitator.
"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."

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must seek what you want and what you need, and then do any necessary negotiating to make it happen. That means having conversations where you figure out where other people are coming from, and most significantly, know -- and remember, and focus on -- your own agenda.
"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."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- One of the most important keys to life is being close to your values and to your priorities. Everything you do, every choice you make, verify that it aligns with what actually matters to you. If you find yourself spending time on what does not make a difference, quickly make some adjustments.
"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."

Capricorn Audio Birthday Reading is Ready!
Dear Friend and Reader:
Friday, I recorded your Capricorn birthday reading. It's about 70 minutes in length, in two sessions. This is your birthday audio -- an entirely different reading from The Art of Becoming, which will be ready in January.
You are living in extraordinary times, as a Capricorn or Cap rising. There's been nothing quite like this in your sign since the early 1990s, when the Uranus-Neptune connection passed through town. That was a while ago -- and what you're now working with is just as significant.
At the moment, the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Pluto are in your sign, which is building to a series of major events that peak in 2020. That may seem like a long way off, though time marches on. The presence of Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn, is a reminder to tend to your growth, shore up your foundations, and take your place in the world.
Saturn in your sign is helping to ground you in your real priorities.
In this reading, I focus on several key points of development, though none is as important as your relationship to your family, and your family history. For all you want to do in life, all the ways you want to succeed, and solidify your process of self-actualization: the family connection is essential.
This relates directly to your most intimate partnerships, because they're based on an emotional foundation that was laid in childhood. I provide specific information about how to work with these elements, and how to engage in productive self-therapy (it's not always so useful, but it can be).
Your reading includes access to last year's recording, plus your 2017 written reading (from The Book of Your Life), and a tarot reading that will arrive in about a month (maybe more, maybe less).
You can get instant access when you order the reading here for just $44. We will increase the price further when the Tarot section is published.
This reading is also included with the Backstage Pass. If you're not a BSP member, you can upgrade and extend your current subscription, and the Capricorn reading will be included.
Thank you for being a Planet Waves customer.
With love,
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You're close to a breakthrough; and when that happens, remember to keep going and take your idea or project to the next level. You have many moving parts working together at the moment, and you're guiding yourself in one solid direction. Keep doing that even when it does not seem so urgent.
"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."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take this weekend and invest in your career. Rework your resume or LinkedIn page. Dust off some of your great accomplishments of the past, and keep them handy. Most of all, make phone calls to people who you know are supportive of your success. Tell them your plans and enlist their efforts.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If you find that others are resistant, try a different approach. They're not actually having difficulty with you; it's all within their own mind. See if you can get them to open up and talk about what they want, then notice if there's a place where you can make that happen together.
"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."
