If Your Birthday is Jan. 21
(The Day of the Frontrunner) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
How you feel about yourself determines how you feel about your experiences, and the people who populate your life. You've seen this in action before. Make this a conscious process and you'll find it much easier to work with. Give yourself credit for all the progress you've made, and take that as a sign of better things to come.

Current Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
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.

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
Today there's an interesting aspect pattern involving Venus in Aquarius and several minor planets. This formation speaks of a polarity and potential conflict between our wilder, instinctive drives and our ability to step back, reason and deliberate. There are gifts to both these sides. Today's pattern may be a reminder that you can ultimately choose how to respond to provocation, particularly if you're sitting in front of a screen with a keyboard. The words you construct can be edited and rewritten until the moment you hit 'send'. Be mindful that they also have power.

Planet Waves Eric is busily working on The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual; and we expect to publish by the end of this month. You can pre-order all 12 chapter-length signs here, or you may choose your individual signs here.

Daily Horoscope for January 21, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
How you feel about yourself determines how you feel about your experiences, and the people who populate your life. You've seen this in action before. Make this a conscious process and you'll find it much easier to work with. Give yourself credit for all the progress you've made, and take that as a sign of better things to come. You share a birthday with Placido Domingo, Billy Ocean, and Geena Davis.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Today may be one of those days when you're not sure what's bothering you, though if you're patient, the truth will bubble to the surface. Meanwhile, take a gentle approach to the people you work with this week. You're entering promising new professional territory. Leave your personal life at home.

Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're getting to the bottom of some deep personal mysteries. Just be cautious about thinking that others have dark or sinister motives. People are driven by many of the same desires that you are, only they're usually less honest about it. Remind yourself and everyone else that we're only human.

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You may be feeling emotional about a work-related issue, such as whether your efforts and talents are really appreciated. Try to get to the bottom of that question today, and don't assume your perception is correct. When your self-esteem is in tune, it's much easier to collaborate with others.

Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Your instincts about a partnership situation are correct, especially if you've decided there's a way to make things work out in everyone's favor. Humanity must get over its obsession with the zero-sum game: that is, the notion that there must be a winner and a loser. You know that everyone can win.

Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Make sure you tap into the abundant support of others that's available to you this week. Venus and the Sun are moving through your partnership angle, which suggests people are ready to work as a team toward a common goal. First agree on the goal, then work toward it. That is consensus.

Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- One of the overarching themes of your solar chart at the moment is to keep an open mind. Creativity knows no bounds except the ones we place on it. Even the most intractable people often have one little place where their mind is open. You, however, have many. Make sure you use that gift.

Libra
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You're so driven by a common-sense approach that you might fail to notice the extent to which others are moved by their emotions alone. Oil and water don't mix. If you find that persuasion does not work, switch to empathy -- before you lose the attention of others whose help you need.

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- With Mars placed late in your sign, you'll need to consciously stick to your current plan until the new one is ready to go. Don't rush that process. Vital information is forthcoming, and you'll probably have it by Wednesday. Till then, make decisions on the basis of keeping your options open.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Don't let your insecurities get to you. Hardly anyone would suspect that you can go into an emotional whirlwind and question your own worth, though you hide it well. You have the option to be empowered by your own doubts. Remember how many times they've been wrong in the past.

Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You'll be guided toward clarity on a major personal issue this week, which will feel good. Yet at the same time, you need to keep a circumspect view. That means seeing things from many positions, like you're walking around a circle and taking in the view from every direction. Keep an open mind.

Aquarius Birthdays 2018:
A Reading from Someone Who Understands Aquarians
"My takeaway from the Aquarius reading is a sense of PEACE. You really do UNDERSTAND what Aquarians are going through these days (and yes, because you do understand and explain the issues I am going through so well). Yes: you are an honorary Aquarian."
-- Eileen
Dear Friend and Reader:

I know at least a couple of Aquarians who've dealt with major difficulties this year. I'm not sure how widespread that has actually been among those with an Aquarius Sun or Aquarius rising, but I suspect it has a lot to do with Chiron wrapping up its journey through Pisces: your house of what you value, including your body, your money, your talents and your self-esteem.

This year Chiron begins to move into Aries. This will shift the focus of your learning and healing agenda, and hopefully provide a little relief.

Planet Waves
Chiron is not the only planet changing signs this year, however: Saturn is newly in Capricorn, and later this spring Uranus will enter Taurus. These shifts hold very specific changes for you: both in terms of your inner reality, and in terms of the overall environment you interact with.

Using his signature blend of astrological experience, therapy training, life coaching, and motivational speaking, Eric will cover these major changes to the sky (along with subtler points) in your upcoming 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading.

Recorded in pro-quality audio, you'll receive two segments of astrology (at least 30 minutes each) and a tarot reading for the year ahead, plus an extended description of your sign. But what you really get is practical, accessible inspiration that will help you find a more empowering perspective on challenges, and the confidence to say yes to opportunities.
"Ah Eric -- just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of."
-- Liz Glanville
Please note that when you pre-order your 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading, you will secure the lowest price we offer --just $33. The price increases as Eric nears publication, and then increases again.

The Sun enters your sign this Friday, Aquarius -- I wish you a happy birthday season, and much joyful use of your reading.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

P.S. The 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading is distinctly different from the Aquarius written reading available in the upcoming Art of Becoming annual project. It covers your key astrology in a different format and emphasis, capitalizing on Eric's more intuitive, improvisational skills. The Birthday Reading also makes a fantastic gift for a loved one!


Aquarius
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Remind yourself not to let the past be the basis for the future. This is perhaps the simplest and easiest-to-access tool for spiritual growth that exists. You understand what happened and what it meant to you. Now, use your precious mind and teach yourself that much better possibilities exist.

Pisces
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today's alignment of the Moon and Chiron in your birth sign will help you clarify what you need to feel better, and to take better care of yourself. These things are not so mysterious (or expensive) as they're often made out to be. Check in with how you feel, sticking to the present moment.
