This show features a special report on the tactics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. In New York City, immigration rights activist Ravi Ragbir was detained on Monday amid protests by members of the local community, including a city councillor. Another immigration activist, Jean Montrevil, was deported to Haiti on Tuesday. Many are questioning whether ICE is deliberately targeting campaigners.

Written in the Planets
If you need to check in with your emotions, particularly if you feel something you don't quite understand, Mars trine Chiron suggests you dig deep. This may take some courage or some impetus, but the new understanding that could follow is likely to be worth the effort. It might seem tempting to hide or shut away a part of you that may at times feel inconvenient (to you, anyway); but when on a journey of growth or healing, it's necessary to bring your whole self.
Eric has got underway with The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual. You can still pre-order all 12 chapter-length signs here for just $99, or you may choose your individual signs here. We will be increasing the price for all 12 signs to $111 today, Jan. 18 -- so grab your copy now to lock in the current price.
Daily Horoscope for January 18, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
The way to purge yourself of any self-doubt or self-defeating thought patterns is to be aware of them, and then take noticing as an opportunity to choose something better. Your growth goal this year is understanding, appreciating and caring for yourself. You are the only person whose approval you need, and you're the only one who can give it. You share a birthday with Oliver Hardy, Cary Grant, and Estelle.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Listen for people who share your concept of fairness. This is one of the most important values, though it comes in many different forms. Social justice is usually striven for and attained in small, subtle ways, not grand and glorious ones. When you meet someone who's committed, keep them.
"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're in an excellent position to take leadership on an important professional situation. Your skill and experience are being depended upon, as are your sincerity and your ability to work with others. Make sure you get everyone organized and on board; what you're doing can have a positive impact.
"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) -- Venus has entered your fellow air sign Aquarius, which is offering a sense of your potential, and reminding you that you have a future. The complications of recent months are almost behind you. Make sure you take the last few steps and bring matters to a clear state of resolution.
"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) -- Venus, a planet dear to your heart, has moved in your favor, which will open up certain options that seemed out of reach just yesterday. Yet you must be patient and let relationships and social conditions develop gradually. Don't try to push the river. Rather, let it carry you to interesting places.
"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) -- Venus has entered your opposite sign Aquarius, and in the language of the stars, that means new social possibilities and discovering new love interests. Keep things light and breezy and get to know people for a while before making a commitment. Sincere friends really do make the best lovers.
"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) -- Groups behave differently from any of the individuals involved. Study the psychology of how these patterns form, and what is right or wrong depending on whether it's done by one person, or several. You have the strength of character to act ethically, no matter what others may say or do.
"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) -- The more fun you have, the more creative you'll be. This happy cosmic law will work for both pleasure and business. If you focus on solutions rather than on problems, you'll be reminded how much potential you have, and how good your life really is. However, this is a conscious choice.
"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) -- One thing that life seems to be teaching you is that competition is not the healthiest way to approach family and relationship situations. You will get to understand this even more deeply as you put it into practice and see it work. Strive for cooperation, in ways both subtle and more obvious.
"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) -- You know you're not bound by the same laws and rules that govern most other people, and the reason is that you know other principles are more important. Perhaps love does not govern the world we live in, but it does govern the universe, and that's the level to focus on right now.
"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) -- Take an optimistic view of financial matters and you will find a way to work things out. Take a creative and adventurous view and you'll start thinking in bigger, bolder ways. You're gradually letting go of old, useless ideas about money, which means accepting your true gifts. It's the same process.
"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) -- The intelligence bestowed by Venus entering your sign is different from the cerebral forms of thought you're accustomed to. Venus in Aquarius is full-spectrum thought, which considers how beautiful an idea is, not just whether it's logical or reasonable. Therefore, let beauty be your guide.
"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) -- If you can imagine something vividly, you can probably do it. This is the kind of imagination that comes with feelings that verge on tangible, and physical, as well as clear visualization. Don't force the matter; but if you can conjure up the experience in your mind, it's probably ready to happen.
"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."
