It would be easy to complicate the Leo Full Moon and lunar eclipse of Jan. 31, 2018. Len Wallick proposes a more simple approach in this column, asking you to begin with what's familiar and then be curious about what's not. If you can also be good company for others, bonus points could well accrue.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 1
(The Day of Willfullness) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You're far less bound by social conventions than you may think. Though your sign is famous for doing its own thing, it's easy to get caught in established patterns; whether because it's seemingly easier to handle them, or you're cautious about asserting your individuality. The art and craft of that are about living each day a little more boldly than the last. You share a birthday with Langston Hughes, Don Everly, and Brandon Lee.
| 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
Today the Moon enters Virgo. It also passes the degree of the infamous solar eclipse from last August, which today may give you a little added context on your experience of yesterday's lunar eclipse. Astrology is often best read as a continuing story, in which regular events each have a chapter, of which we carry the memory and the lesson with us. Later, from Virgo, the Moon also forms a grand trine with Pallas in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn, which may assist you in taking the long view. You might think consciously of these moments as points on an unbroken line, and see where that idea leads.
Eric is busily working on The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual; and it's shaping up to be an exciting, information-packed edition. You can pre-order all 12 chapter-length signs here, or you may choose your individual signs here.
Daily Horoscope for February 1, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You're far less bound by social conventions than you may think. Though your sign is famous for doing its own thing, it's easy to get caught in established patterns; whether because it's seemingly easier to handle them, or you're cautious about asserting your individuality. The art and craft of that are about living each day a little more boldly than the last. You share a birthday with Langston Hughes, Don Everly, and Brandon Lee.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may be feeling a much-appreciated drop in pressure, though you will need to take some time to reorient and find your way forward. Don't be in a rush to do this. The signposts will manifest for you, sometimes as hints from your environment, and sometimes in the form of direct invitations.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Your leadership skills depend on your excellence in communication, and your desire for understanding. Use those to the max over the next few days. Your intuition about the motives of others is likely to be on point. Suspend judgment and work with people on the level of what works for them.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- It's necessary that you use your words and ideas with precision. One gift of being born under a sign ruled by Mercury is that you're a natural wordsmith. Aspects that develop over the next few days will demonstrate how effective it is when you speak and write clearly.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your focus on a financial issue for the next few days. This will work out in your favor if you stick to the facts, and take things one step at a time. Make sure you know what you want, and what other people want; and then work from the place where the two meet.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Think of yourself as wearing the mantle of power. Yet it's subtle: you draw your strength from your ability to think, to plan, and to work with both allies and adversaries. And you know that your main gift is to be helpful, in a world where many people need assistance and love.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Break through any bout with narrow thinking by creating options for yourself, and extending them to others. There's no need to bind yourself or anyone else up in a condition that's restrictive or that doesn't honor their basic need for flexibility. Be creative and dream up some new possibilities.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Everyone possesses natural creativity. It's just a question of whether they align with it. You are rapidly moving toward connecting with a deep memory of some creative talent, ability or desire. You can claim this as your own, if you feel the pull and respond in a conscious way -- with some tangible action.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Now would be a good time to reach out to family members you've been out of contact with for a while. All you need to do is call them up and say hello and ask what's going on. Let them know you care, and that you're doing well. Don't worry where the discussion leads. Listen and learn.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Your language powers are especially potent right now. Use them for the good of your community, which also means that you get to benefit. You can serve in the role of negotiator, messenger, scribe or facilitator. Do not exert yourself; this is low-energy-output work. Intelligence is efficient.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- There are two kinds of desire: the lusty, gotta-have-it kind; and the kind that knows what's right and true, and moves in its direction. The second one is operative in your life right now; or, said another way: your inner guidance is strong. Don't let any false needs or wants get in the way.
Aquarius Birthdays 2018:
The Aquarius Eclipse Zone -- and a Gift from Us
"Today I was listening to last year's reading and I kept feeling that I needed to get this year's reading; I'm so glad I did. It answered everything, or at least helped me to realize I'm okay and actually very excited."
-- Rhonda Benson
Dear Friend and Reader:
You've just experienced a spectacular "supermoon" and total lunar eclipse in your opposite sign, Leo. Leo is your "relationship sign," and as such also holds information about other sorts of partnerships besides the romantic kind (including those that are not so amicable).
Not only that, but the corresponding partial solar eclipse will occur on Feb. 15 in Aquarius -- making these next couple of weeks a potentially very fertile time for you to shift your life in a new direction. What would you like to see more of in your life in the next 6-12 months? And in what ways can you aim yourself in that direction over the next couple weeks?
Eric will be taking up this auspicious astrology in your upcoming 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading. He designs these audio meditations to be useful for the entire year, long past your birthday month -- which is perfect, considering that the eclipses take months to unfold.
He'll also be covering the major-planet sign changes that mark this year, two of which involve your ruling planets (Saturn, which is newly in Capricorn; and Uranus, which enters fellow fixed sign Taurus in May) -- and much more.
You can lock in the lowest price we offer when you pre-order your Aquarius reading; that's two segments of astrology plus a tarot reading for the year for only $33. Note: the price will increase as Eric nears publication of your audio reading.
Why should you get your Birthday Reading if you're already getting the Art of Becoming annual reading? Mainly because it covers your key astrology in a different, stand-alone format and has its own unique themphasis -- born of the moment when Eric records it, capitalizing on his more intuitive, improvisational skills.
May you celebrate your birthday eclipse season with a sense of potential and empowerment.
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
P.S. If you know and love an Aquarian, show them by giving the 2018 Aquarius Birthday Reading as a gift!
P.P.S. If you'd like to review your year and check Eric's accuracy as you head into The Eclipse Zone, please listen to last year's reading, as a gift from Planet Waves.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Know the limits of your knowledge. No matter how smart you may be or how much you may read, it's essential to understand that there are simply things you have not found out yet. Keep a keen sense of your blind spots, and act judiciously; when real data shows up, you will feel it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Important developments in your professional life are calling on you to tap into both your worldly experience and your inner sense. The two are in perfect harmony now, and you're likely to have help from unusual and unexpected places. You're in new territory now. Pace yourself carefully.
