"Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second, and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream."
-- Frederico Fellini

If Your Birthday is Jan. 20

Do you choose to live a closed and private life, or an open and transparent one? More lies in this decision than you may imagine. Thoughts, feelings and ideas increase by being offered to others.

Written in the Planets
With Eros conjunct Pluto in Capricorn today, keep your feelers tuned to the substrata of your sexual energy. Are there any tremors, shifts or rumblings? Anything trying to push up to the surface? Even if you keep your discoveries private, the investigation could prove compelling. Overnight into tomorrow, centaur Pholus enters Capricorn. If anything has you feeling edgy or impatient today (a common quality when a planet's in the last degree of a sign), remember that small moves can really count for a lot with Pholus. No need to rush or push things.
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. On Thursday, Jan. 18, we will be increasing the price for all 12 signs to $111 -- so grab your copy soon to lock in the current price.
Daily Horoscope for January 20, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Do you choose to live a closed and private life, or an open and transparent one? More lies in this decision than you may imagine. Thoughts, feelings and ideas increase by being offered to others. If you're a kind and loving person, you can surely afford to offer the spirit of your life to others. There is no conspiracy necessary, and nothing to hide. You share a birthday with Buzz Aldrin, David Lynch, and Heather Small.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may be feeling a bit clairvoyant, though make sure you verify your hunches before acting on them. You may have some great ideas, which you should definitely write down, and make sure they're still brilliant in the morning. Ideas are like hunches -- they require research and development.
"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) -- The Sun has entered Aquarius, the angle of your chart associated with achievement and reputation. The more important theme is taking responsibility, which for you often translates to leadership. Not everyone can organize other people into a productive team. You have that skill in abundance.
"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) -- Make sure you verify the claims of others before depending on them. There's an indication in today's Moon-Neptune conjunction cautioning you about a blind curve, foggy conditions or slick road surface. Therefore, slow down for a day or two, and be attentive for information that confirms or denies your hunch.
"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 emphasis of your chart is currently on group experiences rather than one-on-one. That means intimate, small-group spaces, where a real conversation can happen. Stay focused on there here and now and you will discover new ways of relating. This will be a refreshing change.
"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) -- The Sun has joined Venus in the relationship angle of your solar chart, like a sunrise of love. This is not just a promise of the good things to come; it's a reminder how good your life really is. Emphasize the positive and reach out to others with your usual warmth and kindness.
"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) -- The problem with this thing called work is that it's not especially creative. People are often threatened by any idea better than their own, or by anything new. The French originally thought the Eiffel Tower was ugly. You have interesting, even daring ideas. Work the crowd and build consensus.
"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 Sun has entered your fellow air sign Aquarius, which always takes the pressure off you, and gives you a sense of your greater potential. You can afford to take some space and stretch out your mind, and your plans for the future. You'll also benefit from making some new friends.
"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 have a rather spectacular imagination and unusual insight into human psychology. And for the foreseeable future, your chart is hinting strongly at you having the discipline to actually do something with your ideas. You really can, and you will surely love the feeling. Stretch, reach and create.
"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) -- Plans for your professional development that may have seemed far-fetched only recently are now right within reach. You'll need to strip away anything that's slowing you down, and focus on the essence of what you do. You have many ideas, though one stands out as both financially and creatively viable.
"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 have more in common with others than you may believe. Often at this stage of your life, you tend to feel like you're a lone wolf or the sole survivor. It's time to leave that thinking behind and find common ground with others. This must go deeper than opinions and the trends you like.
"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) -- It's high time you do something about your self-doubts. The time for that is when you're feeling them. What, exactly, are you concerned about? What challenges might you face that are somehow not up to your talent and your skill? Who ever tried to convince you of that? Happily, they were wrong.
"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) -- Your greatest asset is your sincerity, though you don't always use it. Part of why is that you doubt yourself when you don't have to. At the moment, you can proceed as if your misgivings are a kind of joke. You can afford to laugh at yourself for ever having doubted the power of your creativity.
"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."
