Stepping Up to the Blue Supermoon Eclipse
Dear Friend and Reader:
This week opens the first 'eclipse season' of 2018. On Wednesday, Jan. 31, we'll experience the Leo Full Moon, which is also total lunar eclipse -- meaning that we're entering a phase of a couple weeks when you might be able to advance your life in unexpected ways. (The corresponding partial solar eclipse will occur with a New Moon in Aquarius on Feb. 15.)

At 8:27 am EST (13:27 UTC) on Wednesday the Moon in Leo will align exactly with the Sun in Aquarius, with the Earth tucked precisely in between (the peak of the eclipse is a couple minutes later). If you live in the right parts of the world and have clear skies at the right time, you'll be able to see Earth's shadow gradually cover the Moon, making it look a reddish-brownish color.
But wait: isn't Wednesday's Full Moon a blue Moon? Yes, but that name does not actually refer to the Moon's color; it's simply the fanciful term given to the second Full Moon in one calendar month (if you recall, the Cancer Full Moon occurred on Jan. 1). They're rare, but not as rare as the colloquial saying would seem to suggest. The Jan. 31 Full Moon is also the third in a series of three straight 'supermoons'; that is, Full Moons that occur while the Moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, and therefore looks slightly larger than usual.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 29
(The Day of the Compassionate Combatant) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Others
You must initiate the changes you want, in all facets of your life. While you're doing that, make sure your employment environment matches your true nature. You must be comfortable and feel safe where you work, if you're going to work to your full potential. You have the talent and the motivation to get a better deal, if that is what you need.
| Current Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
This week, there's a Full Moon eclipse in your opposite sign Leo. Think of this as a tune-up of your relationships, particularly on the emotional level. It might feel like a pressure release.

Current Aquarius Monthly Horoscope
You don't need a conspiracy theory to understand your life. It's a fact that the elements of your existence have come together by design, most of which was based on your own intentions, choices and actions.

Written in the Planets
When is a rebellion not a rebellion? When the result of victory is a continuation of the status quo. Much like the women who campaign against abortion rights, it's possible for us to trick ourselves into thinking we're standing up for our rights and choices, when in fact sometimes the end product is the opposite, and the enemies we thought we were facing turn out to be projections of the mind. Today Venus conjoins Okyrhoe (and Astraea) on the South Node. If you feel like going into battle today, first take some time to really think about what you want to accomplish, and the best way to meet that goal. You might be surprised by what you discover.

Daily Horoscope for January 29, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You must initiate the changes you want, in all facets of your life. While you're doing that, make sure your employment environment matches your true nature. You must be comfortable and feel safe where you work, if you're going to work to your full potential. You have the talent and the motivation to get a better deal, if that is what you need. You share a birthday with Anton Chekhov, Oprah Winfrey, and Sara Gilbert.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You seem determined to remember who you are, and you can. Let the world be your mirror, both of what you want and what you don't want. People will be serving as powerful examples of both the next few days, and you get to make decisions about who you are becoming -- and unbecoming.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- All the work you're doing and the responsibility you've taken on is about serving the world, though it's also teaching you who you are. There are no guaranteed ways to contentment, though among the options, feeding your soul is one that usually works pretty well.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- It may seem like someone is trying to convert you to their point of view, though that may not be true. Rather, someone wants you to see and understand their perspective. You don't need to accept it, though you would benefit from knowing what it's about. Ask all the questions you want.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- This week, push may come to shove over certain financial matters, though don't worry -- there are plenty of resources to go around. You will need to make a conscious effort to get some of them flowing in your direction, which will require you to have a good public relations profile.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You may hear from an old lover or friend today or this week. But are you concerned this will cause conflict with a current love interest? If yes, now's the time to pause and ask yourself why that is. It's usually seen as a wild dream that relationships won't conflict -- but they don't have to.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You will get results at work if you stick to what everyone agrees is the established plan. Go back to the original goals and strategies, and then craft your ideas in that direction. It's always best to work from common ground, which you have a knack for spotting and building on.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Avoid conflicts with people you share a power relationship with -- for example your boss, or your employees. You're especially vulnerable today; and if you're not emotionally steady, you could get hurt emotionally. Use your power gently, and do your part to help with agreed-upon goals.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- There seem to be many layers of truth, though they all point to the same thing. If you follow the various rivers, your spiritual beliefs, your creative ideals, your ideas about sex and your ideas about love all lead you back to the same source. You can follow any one, or all of them, and get there.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Is your view of your success wide enough? Does it leave you room for possibilities other than what you want right now? You can afford to take a few steps back, so that you have a wider view. Be cautious if you feel you must make any sacrifices to attain your real idea of success.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- The Moon moving through your opposite sign Cancer, your relationship zone, is encouraging you to face up to certain emotional realities of your intimate relationships. Once you do, you will begin to take away the power they hold over you, and open the way to honest communication.
Aquarius Birthdays 2018:
Pointing Yourself in the Right Direction
"Thank you. I've been a fan for a few years and always feel nourished by every reading -- my own and others. This particular reading hit home and felt like a swoop of fresh air pointing me home. Thank you again."
-- Elaine Sonne
Dear Aquarius Sun or Aquarius Rising Reader:
Some of the most noteworthy astrological events of this year relate directly to your sign. Whether this is exciting to you or slightly intimidating, you can consider yourself fortunate: Eric will be covering the unique opportunities and challenges these events may bring you in his usual grounded, reassuring, inspiring and perspective-shifting way in your 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading.
Among the events influencing your year are both of your ruling planets in new signs: Saturn entered Capricorn -- the 'hidden area' of your chart -- in December; and Uranus moves into fellow fixed sign Taurus in May.
As your inner landscape and outer environment take on a new flavor, Eric will be guiding through it all. Also of particular note: we're about to get the first of two eclipses involving your sign.
The Jan. 31 Leo Full Moon will oppose the Aquarius Sun for a lunar eclipse; then on Feb. 15, the Aquarius New Moon will also be a partial solar eclipse. Translation: your solar year is getting off to a potentially potent start, the effects of which will ripple out for months to come. 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 reading.
When you pre-order your 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading, you'll lock in the lowest price we offer on two segments of astrology (each at least 30 minutes long) plus a tarot reading for 2018. You can listen to this reading as many times as you like throughout the year -- to check your progress, or to receive a little extra encouragement, insight and empowerment to tackle whatever's come your way.
"I am listening to it again now, and there are so many more gems coming to me. Profound, deep and so thought provoking...inspired!"
-- Rhonda Benson
Please note that the price increases as Eric nears publication, and then increases again.
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 (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It may sound corny to say this, though the more you love yourself, the more you will love other people. If you look at the doubts you have about yourself, you will see the ways that you doubt others. It may not seem likely, but address your self-doubt and others will emerge in a much more beautiful light.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Despite any bumps and grinds over the past week or so, your confidence is not shaken. In fact, you're likely to have more resolve, and a bolder drive, to succeed in your personal way. Don't sell yourself short with someone else's definition of success. You have an agenda, and it is calling you.
