"What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and that love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best, power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
-- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A Capricorn New Moon to Build On
Dear Friend and Reader:
The astrology this week appears to speak of building something new, thanks in part to a New Moon in Capricorn. Yet as the week progresses, it looks like you'll be doing this building with a shifting frame of reference, thanks to several objects changing sign.
One way to think of it is like making a sculpture: each time you walk to a different side of it, your perception of the thing you're making changes slightly. As a result, you can see new options that might alter what you do next.

Another example might be when you rearrange the furniture in your home: when you move an easy chair to a new spot, the vacated area is suddenly open to other possibilities.
The chair, in its new location, may seem to invite a new piece of artwork to hang above it. When you sit in the chair in the new spot, you have a new perspective of the entire room; that shifted perspective may help you see something else with fresh eyes: a way to make an underutilized corner more useful, for example; or you might realize you no longer need that end table that just collects clutter.
If you've been using the 'productive' astrology of the last week or so to move projects toward completion, there's a good chance this week's shifts will come naturally to you as you look forward to the next thing. And if you feel like you have not been able to take advantage of the traction that's been available, perhaps think of this week's astrology as another chance to do so.

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 the Sun forms an aspect pattern with Chiron in Pisces and Sedna in Taurus. This may be a reminder that if you want effective healing, that's pretty much incompatible with suppressing emotions, grievances or old hurts. Likewise, in order to restore a sense of wholeness, it's necessary to acknowledge, accept and love all of you -- even the parts you might see as messy, chaotic or flawed. As Chiron prepares to cross the Aries Point, remember that it's not only okay to be imperfect; it's an essential part of the human experience.
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 15, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Once I got a fortune cookie that describes your birthday chart perfectly: "Be boldly who you are. Be humbly who you aspire to be." Your career, profession or vocation is not a thing outside yourself. It's the expression of your life purpose and your existence. This is much more fun, it's easier and it's more fulfilling. Grow into your most meaningful purpose. You share a birthday with Martin Luther King, Jr., Molière, and Regina King.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Your professional responsibilities don't necessarily bring you emotionally closer to people, and sometimes you have to stand on your own. Make the decisions you have to make, even if they're difficult, and even if they're not popular. You will feel better for doing the right thing. You always do.
"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 may be wrestling with your conscience, though there's no need to pin yourself down to the mat. What is right is obvious, and you know it. You're only struggling to let go of a feeling or emotion, which currently seems bigger than it is. Keep some perspective, and face the future.
"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) -- Acknowledge what you're experiencing if you feel lonely or isolated, even if you have no reason to. You've embarked on a new phase of your relationship life in recent weeks, and a new approach is necessary. This calls for more commitment, not less; though you must invest that in the right people.
"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) -- The Moon moving through your opposite sign Capricorn today and tomorrow will demonstrate that you've come far from the territory where you so recently seemed stuck. Let certain new relationships develop gradually, and feel the subtle, soulful quality of your encounters with others.
"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) -- Discern carefully what has to happen sooner, and what can happen later. That means setting priorities, and organizing yourself around them. There may be one rather pressing priority you need to act on today. You'll feel a sense of relief when you begin that task -- and when you're done.
"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) -- It's possible that an encounter of some kind has taken you deeper than you were planning to go, though not deeper than you can handle. If you take the perspective of a child rather than that of an overly serious adult, you'll start to cast off the fear, and reap the benefits.
"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) -- One of your greatest assets is the emotional independence you've cultivated. You don't need others as much as you used to, though it would be great if others learned to rely on themselves as well. Make sure that any support you offer guides people in that direction.
"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 may feel like you need to make radical or sudden changes to your diet or health regimen. However, that rarely works. What tends to succeed is the slow phase-in, based on gradually increasing knowledge and commitment. Stay close to your purpose. For you, meaning is a form of nutrition.
"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) -- Your financial situation isn't as dire as you may think. You have some work to do, though you're willing and able. The key is staying grounded, and connected to your purpose, rather than making money its own purpose. It's not -- its role is to serve you, not the other way around.
"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) -- It takes grit and determination to make it in this world, though also love and compassion. Be kind to the people who support you in any way, who keep you company, or who make your coffee in the morning. Reach out with affection and you'll be reminded you're not alone.
"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) -- All human behavior is driven by deep motives and patterns, though these are often hidden. At the moment you have a rare window into just some of what that material is, which increases the potential for growth and self-awareness. Be honest with yourself, and make some important decisions.
"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) -- You may feel like you're of a rare breed or one of a kind, which is your greatest asset, not a problem. However, if you put the sensation of feeling different out front, you'll only succeed at making yourself feel awkward. Just be the person you are, and see if anyone notices that fact.
"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."
