This Week's Horoscope for Capricorn by Eric Francis Coppolino
Your sign is somewhat famous for a priggish attitude toward sex. That's funny, since you're probably one of the more sexual people you know, even if you veil that with proper attire and an insistence on seeming prim, at nearly any cost (including resisting fun that might appear in any way untoward, or revealing your true desire). It's time to throw that approach and all the theories that support it into a bonfire. It's time to ask yourself who you were trying to impress, and then decide that you don't care. More than that, it's essential you recognize the ways in which people blame others for their own impulse to restrain themselves with morality; i.e., what would mother think? If you really want to go there, though, ask yourself that very question. If she had a porthole into your life, she might be shocked for a moment, and then have a very, very different reaction -- as will you.

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
Today is essentially the epicenter of the week's standout aspect pattern, with the Sun and Venus getting cozy with Pluto in Capricorn. Those planets are also still vibrating with Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio. If you're willing to go beneath the surface (of desire or other emotions; of your creativity; of your relationships and friendships; of whatever you feel you need to express), you may find you can move something along much further than you usually could. Identify your priority projects, and get busy. Feel the natural flow between giving and receiving in your relationships, whether sexual or platonic. When you circulate energy through clear intention and conscious action, everyone involved can benefit.
The Art of Becoming is Becoming
Dear Friend and Reader:
This is an update on The Art of Becoming, my 2018 annual edition for Planet Waves. Last week, I produced an introductory video [play here], in which I review the build-up to this year's distinctive astrology.
|
In this special episode of Planet Waves TV [ play video here], I set the scene for the remarkable astrology of 2018. I begin with a recap of Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus-Eris, before outlining the forthcoming sign changes of several major planets. |
We promised the annual edition for "sometime in January" and with one exception (involving audio) I've always come through with that. What makes this year interesting is that, for the first time, I'm also writing a daily horoscope, in the New York Daily News.
The first items to be delivered will be the videos on Saturn, Chiron and Uranus (more information here), which will be included if you pre-order all 12 signs. These videos will contain details on how to work with your life cycles and really see what these transits mean.
I've now uploaded the first video, covering Saturn in Capricorn, though as of this moment, most of this work is ahead of me. So, please send some good vibes. Next will come my written presentations (possibly with extra audio sessions), mapping out in detail how the astrology of 2018 will look for each of the signs. This is my 20th annual edition, and your readings will get the full benefit of all my experience. If you want to get a feeling for how that looks, you may access the full 2017 annual here with our compliments.
If you'd like to dig a little deeper, you're invited to check out our previous annual editions going back to 1999 (here's a letter explaining more about their history).
You may pre-order all 12 signs for just $99 here. We recommend this as best value; note that you can share the readings with your household. Alternatively, you may choose your individual signs here.
Thank you for your interest in Planet Waves. As ever, it's good to be with you.
With love,
Daily Horoscope for January 9, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You're working with more power than you imagine, whether that's the influence you have on others, talent, resources, sex appeal or the force of will. Yet these gifts are not yours to throw around like thunderbolts. Choose your missions carefully, and stay close to your chosen purpose. Be gentle with people's hearts, because you hold them in your hands. You share a birthday with Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Baez, and Haddaway.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You have everything going for you at the moment: solid standing with people you respect, a reputation that you've earned, and the ability to grow. Never sell yourself short of your potential. The whole point of aspiring to great things is doing what you have never done before.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Your knowledge is more important than your beliefs. Therefore, don't be deceived by belief, especially the notions of others you were tricked into accepting. Spiritual theory must include actual human experiences, desires, feelings and needs, though who needs theory when you have reality?
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You may be focused on getting the job done, which is admirable, though you must focus on the big picture right now. This includes understanding the financial aspects of your situation, and considering the influence that you have on others. Get up from your desk and sit down at the meeting table.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Be open to lust, passion and sexual curiosity. Yes, in modern politically correct society, everyone must act like they have boundaries made of polished titanium, and appear as pure as a Zen monk. Your imagination is brimming with intrigue, and your clothing is your most practical boundary.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Work relationships are some of the most important of all, particularly for Americans, who spend so much of their lives on the job. These days, workplace romances may seem like the most dangerous thing in the world, though not if you proceed with impeccability and genuine respect.
"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."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Your creativity is at a peak, usable for any purpose you want. You can solve problems at work, you can invent a business idea, you can devote yourself to art, or you can explore the arts of love. You won't necessarily feel your own strength until you experiment. Then it'll be obvious.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You will need to be at your best with Libra diplomacy today. That includes not letting others push you into decisions you don't want to make, no matter how insistent they may be. You know what is right for you; and, in truth, it's nobody else's business, no matter who or what they may be.
"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.'"

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must initiate whatever you want to create. The plight of humanity is often rooted in waiting around for things to happen. You know that you want to make changes, and you want to make progress. Do that by taking action, which begins with your thoughts and the decisions you make.
"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."
-- 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. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- If you're involved in any plan to improve your income, make sure it's the perfect one: it has to be something you love doing because, when you succeed, you're going to be doing a lot of it. Forget "passive income." You need income connected to what you're over-the-top passionate about.
"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."

Capricorn Audio Birthday Reading is Ready!
Dear Friend and Reader:
Your Capricorn birthday reading is published. 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) -- How you present yourself in public must match who you are privately. That may mean dialing back your presentation or, alternately, turning it up. In particular, you must have actual consistency on the matter of your sexuality. There is zero room in your life for hypocrisy in any form.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You must trust yourself if you want others to trust you. You must be your own leader, if you want others to follow your lead. This won't require making many adjustments, only paying attention to what you do and say. Make conscious choices, and be aware of how people respond to you.
"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 has now begun work on the 2018 annual edition -- The Art of Becoming. You may Pre-order all 12 signs or choose your individual signs.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Choose one plan or desire that you've had for a while -- just one -- and put it into action today. That means taking real steps, and then putting it where people can see it, find it or discover it. Consider this an experiment, and observe the results. Build on what works; tinker with what does not.
"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."
