International condemnation of Donald Trump is growing after reports the president used an expletive during a meeting about immigrants from Africa, Haiti and El Salvador. While meeting with lawmakers, Trump reportedly said, "Why do we want all these people from Africa here? They're shithole countries."

If Your Birthday is Jan. 13
(The Day of Upward Mobility) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You will surprise even yourself with what you create this year, though for maximum access to your gifts, you must be flexible. Embrace change both as a necessity and an important push out of your comfort zone. Remember that new experiences take time to develop, so stick with your decisions, and grow your life with the devotion of a gardener.
| 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
Today Mercury makes a conjunction to Saturn, still newly in Capricorn. If you're still trying to get a handle on what Saturn in Cap means for you, you may start noticing some clues. That should crystallize as Mercury travels through this sign the next two weeks. With regard to 'everyday life', see if you can work out some details in any plan that's been more general thus far. This is a serious time in many ways, but play and mischief still have an important role. In fact, today's square between Venus and Uranus is a reminder to seek new experiences, especially in relationships (of all kinds).
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 13, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You will surprise even yourself with what you create this year, though for maximum access to your gifts, you must be flexible. Embrace change both as a necessity and an important push out of your comfort zone. Remember that new experiences take time to develop, so stick with your decisions, and grow your life with the devotion of a gardener. You share a birthday with Clark Ashton Smith, Shonda Rhimes, and Orlando Bloom.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- It's been an interesting week, and you've learned a lot more than you were expecting to. Take some time and size up the developments you've experienced, and reassess certain goals and objectives based on what you now know. However, going forward, make small, calculated moves.
"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) -- You might be thinking, "If I keep thinking this way, where will I end up?" However, you'll have more fun and end up someplace much more interesting if you don't bother yourself with that possibility. You're on a very interesting ride, and you can trust the direction you're heading.
"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) -- A partner or loved one seems to have no clue what they want, though don't mistake that for lack of integrity. It can take time to figure out what's useful, and usually that's a process of elimination. By the end of the day, it will be obvious what's not helpful -- and, perhaps, what is.
"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) -- You can hang loose; and you'll be happier if you do, especially in your love life. Relax your expectations of others and of yourself, and give yourself room to be spontaneous. Given the choice, opt for the experience you've never had, or the person you've never spent time with.
"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) -- Make sure you spend some time playing this weekend. You may have to catch up on some work-related business, but not as much as you think. You're doing a good job of staying on top of things, and enlisting cooperation. Get out and blow off some steam. That will help your efficiency.
"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) -- This is a good time to handle a sensitive matter involving finances or a contractual situation, particularly if it's proven to be stubborn in recent months. Take an optimistic and light-hearted approach, and trust your intelligence. No problem is over your head or beyond your abilities.
"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."

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- If you're feeling restless, get out of the house, camp out in a cafe and read and write. Your chart is describing you in a literary mood, but also with a case of cabin fever. Just make sure this is a pleasure trip, and go alone. Don't get lured into dealing with business. It can wait a day or two.
"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) -- Whatever you're trying to do, you can do it for less than you think. Before you throw money at something, throw ideas at it. Conduct a few experiments and test your theory. You probably don't need to upgrade or replace anything; you have something that will do the job just fine.
"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) -- Don't be afraid to try something new. You may be at a point of frustration with your current approach, and need a change of pace. This can be a subtle shift -- you don't need to throw away all your recent efforts as much as you need to learn from them. With each step, build on your knowledge.
"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) -- You don't need to hold yourself to a strict standard. You're allowed to change your mind and change your plans if you're feeling boxed in. Just give people a little notice and take the time and space you need. When you don't feel confined, your mind works a lot better, and you're happier.
"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) -- If you say something you weren't planning to reveal, don't worry about it. These things happen; and sometimes it's best if reality gets out, even if you didn’t intend it. In the end, there are no secrets, and we'd all be happier living that way. Ultimately, there's just one version of the truth.
"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) -- Listen carefully for excellent ideas coming from friends, random acquaintances and what floats past your news feed. As a Pisces, all tributaries and rivers flow into your ocean. You can seek inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and right now there's plenty to be found, even in the strangest places.
"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."
