Len Wallick | Separation to Manifestation
If you are still in the habit of writing or saying "2017," don't be embarrassed. As Len Wallick observes today, much of the celestial activity so far this year indicates a more complete separation from the past is only now becoming possible. As always, however, a lot still depends on what you do to manifest what direction the sky is now taking.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 14
(The Day of the Integrator) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Work with the unexpected and the unpredictable. The world is wildly erratic lately; and if you set your mind to it, you will make this factor work for you. It's going to work one way or the other, so get it on your side. Hang loose. Watch the dice as they tumble, talk to the people who mistakenly dial your number, and try random experiments.

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
Vesta's change of sign into Sagittarius represents a chance to reflect on your ideas about devotion. In our constantly busy lives it can be difficult to get involved in all the things we're passionate about, and somewhat tempting simply to give up our dreams. Here's the thing: if you take just a few hours a week or even a month to do something important to you, the enrichment that gives your soul is a manifold reward. We have the capacity to learn all our lives, and it helps to have something to strive for.

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.

Planet Waves
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,

Planet Waves

Daily Horoscope for January 14, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Work with the unexpected and the unpredictable. The world is wildly erratic lately; and if you set your mind to it, you will make this factor work for you. It's going to work one way or the other, so get it on your side. Hang loose. Watch the dice as they tumble, talk to the people who mistakenly dial your number, and try random experiments. You share a birthday with Faye Dunaway, LL Cool J, and Dave Grohl.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- If you feel a wave of inspiration, surf it all the way to the shore. Whatever ideas come to you can be invested in existing projects, which may take on entirely new forms as the week develops. Be sure to get old commitments out of the way any chance you get. A new day is dawning.
"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
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- If you need to vent some energy, today would be a fantastic day. Don't stay bottled up in your mind, body or emotions. Give yourself a chance to go out of control in some creative or entertaining way. Then it'll be a lot easier to make decisions from a relaxed and easygoing position.
"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
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You seem caught in a situation you don't know how to handle, or how to extract yourself from. Keep your cool. It's not as complicated as it seems. What creates confusion is when you struggle with fear and then overreact, or when a partner is volatile. Have any discussion far from alcohol.
"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
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You're still catching up with bold developments in the relationship angle of your chart. These describe a rapidly evolving set of circumstances that will reshape your personal life. Notice the shifts that have occurred just in the past three weeks. Notice who shows up, and the improved quality of the conversation.
"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
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Events this week will encourage you to take a whole new approach to the work you do. You have a lot going on, and you must use tools like time management, organizational structure, and setting up complex projects in advance. Efficiency -- not overwork -- is the lever that you need.
"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
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Take the chance and initiate the conversation that you want to have with someone. Just say the first words and let it flow. Remember to come from a place of love and acceptance; you can do that, and someone needs your example. Asking questions gently will ease the way.
"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
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Maintain a sense of proportion around family and household matters. You're in a position to help, and to be reassuring to others, though not if you go out of alignment. Recognize what actually impacts you and what does not. You'll be more supportive doing less rather than doing more.
"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
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- To be happy, you must be devoted to yourself. This translates to knowing what matters the most to you, and honoring that. Pay careful attention to your thoughts this week. When something seems pressing, or like an urgent necessity, ask yourself whose priority it really is. It might not be yours.
"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
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may be looking at some kind of financial reorganization, which would be a wise move. Getting a handle on budgeting and cash flow is a high priority for you now; and if you honor that, you'll be rewarded by greater prosperity. Work with the idea that money flows toward structure.
"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.

Planet Waves
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,
eric


Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- How has your anxiety level been the past few weeks? Have you relaxed some? Saturn's recent move into your birth sign should have taken off some of the inner pressure. Tuesday's New Moon in your birth sign will help as well. Take the opportunity to cultivate your Zen mind.
"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
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You can easily let go of three bad habits over the next few days. Choose the ones you want to rid yourself of the very most, and make a commitment to yourself. Know why you need to change these things, and focus on shifting the emotional orientation of whatever does not support 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
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take a sober and business-like approach to whatever you do this week, especially if work related. But remember that some of the most important career development happens in social environments. Know who you're talking to; keep the conversation going by asking questions.
"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."
