"Anytime you write something, you go through so many phases. You go through the 'I'm a Fraud' phase. You go through the 'I'll Never Finish' phase. And every once in a while you think, 'What if I actually have created what I set out to create, and it's received as such?'"
-- Lin-Manuel Miranda
This Week's Horoscope for Capricorn by Eric Francis Coppolino
This week, a rare alignment between Jupiter in Scorpio and Pluto in your birth sign presents some unusual opportunity for success. You've had a taste of this the past week to 10 days, and you may already be on a roll. Think in terms of what biologists call a symbiotic relationship. What works for you must work for others, and what works for them will work for you. If you find yourself in a competitive environment, where one person's loss is another's gain, you definitely want to shift that, because that's far from the spirit of your chart. Make sure you're not the one competing, or believing that there's some shortage of resources or potential. There is no lack -- there's plenty to go around. However, your clarity of mind, your honest intentions and your sincere choices make all the difference. Just remind yourself regularly: another person's lack or loss is never your gain.

What loose ends do you need to tie up to bring a project (or phase of a project) to a close and set your sights on the next? Tonight's Capricorn New Moon speaks to both the winding down and the looking ahead.

Daily Horoscope for January 16, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
A New Moon on your birth anniversary is encouraging you to persist with full confidence in who you're becoming. The central feature of your life is growth: embodying and coming to terms with your mission and your purpose. Listen to yourself, and trust the affirmative messages you receive. Wrap up old business so that you have bandwidth to move forward. You share a birthday with Susan Sontag, Aaliyah, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may have to maneuver through politically sensitive territory at work today, whether as the manager or as one being managed. This is a case where cooperation is more important than authority. First, agree on the job that needs to be done, then get together and do it.
"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) -- Success in life is all about having faith in yourself. You might think it's about faith in outcomes, or trust in people, or belief that the truth will prevail. Really, though, it's about your fidelity to your life, your being and your purpose. Clear the fog, and appreciate the simplicity of this.
"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) -- Today's New Moon is offering you an opportunity to clear the decks on a personal or business arrangement that has outdone its use. If you do this, you will clear space in your life for what you love. This will take some courage, but not as much as you think. It feels good to move on.
"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) -- Today's New Moon in your relationship zone seems destined to open doors and present new opportunities. Notice when you feel good around someone. Look for mutual respect and ease of communication. Stay in contact with anyone who seems like someone you want to get to know better.
"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) -- Once you connect with your confidence, on an emotional level, you'll be able to accomplish anything. Start by getting out of your own way. You have every skill you need to get the job done, and you have the patience. So ease into the work and let your curiosity and sense of adventure lead you.
"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) -- Today's New Moon in the most creative and adventurous angle of your chart is a reminder that you need to up your game. You may feel like you're getting away with something when you take a bold step of some kind, and get some unusual positive result. Happiness is perfectly legal.
"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) -- There's an art to not allowing the emotional issues of others to weigh you down. You're under no obligation to carry the baggage of others. You have your own work cut out for you but, moreover, you need your own emotional space. Living your life your way is beneficial to everyone around you.
"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) -- Today's New Moon is reminding you to keep your interests local. It's possible to have friends all over the world, though life is what happens in person. Focus on what's within walking distance to your home and branch out. Much more is happening than you may imagine.
"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) -- Vesta, the asteroid of fire and devotion, recently entered your birth sign, just in time for the New Moon. What is that fire? It relates to creativity, sex and purpose -- all three, in different ways at different times. Yet there's just one flame burning at the center of your soul. Tend to it well.
"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) -- That rarified thing known as being yourself is never accomplished aggressively. Rather, it's a day-by-day commitment that you keep to yourself, mostly in the form of the decisions you make. You speak the truth as you know it, and remember who you are at all times.
"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) -- Use any emotional discomfort you may be feeling as leverage. Use any deep desire the same way: as motivation to push your life forward. You may feel that your heart-felt wishes are far from your reach, or impossible to manifest. In fact they are closer to reality than you may think.
"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) -- Today's New Moon in one of the most vibrant angles of your chart is a kind of social debut for you. Get out around people, and explore the social world, preferably where people are sober and therefore more likely to be sincere. Be bold with people. They like you more than you know.
"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."
