Other than the Moon, none of astrology's archetypes changes signs more often than Mercury. Mercury's retrogrades, however, slow the changes down. As Len Wallick describes it, you can be just as exceptional as Mercury's long delayed (and impending) ingress to Capricorn -- provided you keep your mind in mind.
Moon Phase: Moon is in Last Quarter phase and enters Waning Crescent phase on Jan. 12 at 2:29 pm PST / 5:29 pm EST (22:28:49 UTC).

If Your Birthday is Jan. 11
(The Day of Evaluation) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You've covered some distance establishing independence from your family, though several steps remain. These include being grounded in yourself financially, emotionally and in your choice of partners. Your freedom is about more than the right to your own opinion. You're seeking the strength to act on your knowledge and desires, which will take courage.
| Current Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
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.

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
Mercury entering Capricorn appears to signal getting down to business. If you've had a hard time corralling your ideas, inspirations or general philosophy of life into tangible progress on certain goals, this shift might help. Mercury in Capricorn is known for thinking practically and realistically, often building on traditional structures or methods. With Mercury joining Saturn, Pluto, the Sun and Venus in this sign (along with other points and objects), you may need to remind yourself to stay open to some of the warmer or more sensitive sides of life to balance the abundant pragmatism. Planets in Aries, Leo, Scorpio and Pisces are offering their help in that.
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 11, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You've covered some distance establishing independence from your family, though several steps remain. These include being grounded in yourself financially, emotionally and in your choice of partners. Your freedom is about more than the right to your own opinion. You're seeking the strength to act on your knowledge and desires, which will take courage. You share a birthday with Alexander Hamilton, Clarence Clemons, and Mary J. Blige.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take a low-key, modest approach to all business communications. Understate your goals and your talents; align yourself with the wider priorities of the organizations that surround you. This is not about compromising your integrity; it's about preserving your standing, so you have more freedom.
"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) -- The more you learn, the more you change. For the next few days, discoveries will be thundering inside of you, and you'll encounter people who feed this process. Radical ideas are fun, though the gem you're seeking is a key to your healing process. An important teacher is in your vicinity.
"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're motivated by the desire to feel good, which is true of most people (even if they don't admit it). If you pay attention to this important value, the world will make more sense. You may not agree with the ways others seek pleasure, though at least you'll understand what's driving them.
"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) -- Relationships can be unpredictable, which for the next few days may involve your feelings, or those of someone else. Or it may involve some unusual circumstances arising. Don't let human inconsistency get in your way. Take any unexpected changes of plans as an invitation to try something new.
"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) -- Mercury's sign change today is encouraging a cool, calm and mostly collected approach to whatever questions come up. Keep your plans loose and be ready with alternative approaches, particularly involving online strategy. Any disruption or seeming mistake contains valuable information.
"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 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.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You're at your creative best right now. No problem is too big, strange or difficult for you to solve easily. Ease back on the effort and increase your pondering of the matter. When in doubt, look out the nearest window and think of nothing special. A fantastic idea will come to you.
"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) -- How you make your income must align with your values. This cannot be repeated often enough. You must feel good about what you do every day, who you serve, and how your money is made. If you're feeling any misgivings, be honest about that, and plot your path to a better future.
"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) -- Sometimes you must give up something to gain something. Usually in such cases, what you give up turns out to be something you didn't really want, or that was getting in the way. Emphasize what matters and what is useful and you'll discover you have everything you need.
"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) -- Make a conscious choice to count yourself into the game. Otherwise you may count yourself out, and for no good reason, either. We all share the same planet. We all have some unique potential. Don't be distracted by those claiming to be great and mighty. Invest in yourself every single day.
"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 now 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) -- Nobody is trying to sabotage you. Get that out of your mind. However, you must be vigilant about negative emotions and self-defeating tendencies. Once you notice them, you'll be able to sidestep them gently and make better choices. This is the actual process of negotiating your freedom.
"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) -- It's sometimes possible to get back what you lost, but it's not possible to get back what you never had. Once you know the difference, it'll be easier to guide yourself emotionally, and focus on your real desires, rather than your imaginary ones. Fantasy is not all it's cracked up to be.
"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) -- The public is your friend, however you think of it. You've worked to maintain your integrity, because you know that you don't live in a vacuum. You're therefore ready for people to see and acknowledge your work. Stand out in the daylight and sign your real name to everything you do.
"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."
