Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Feb. 4, 2018
Today's Oracle takes us to the Aries monthly for November 2014.
Something you've recently learned or discovered about yourself now must be taken to heart in a relationship situation. Self-knowledge is the basis of any agreement you have with another person, and when you gain some of that (or what looks like quite a bit) it will necessarily influence your agreements with others. Or rather, it will if you are paying attention, and if you want to live sincerely. You have long known that you could not fit yourself into any situation or partnership that is smaller than you are. True, it's the way of the world to try to cram ourselves into these situations, though such a compromise will eventually fall apart. You might start from the premise that no compromise is possible -- not, at least, on the specific matters you have identified.
And then what? Well, one solution to that puzzle is that you proceed as an individual on your own terms, and others will get to enter your life as individuals on their own terms. A relationship is not two people living as one, because in truth that is not possible. It's two people acknowledging their mutual existence, respecting one another for their similarities and their differences. If this sounds like walking over a cliff, it's because maturity is in short supply these days, though from the look of your chart, you are being called to tap into your deepest reserves.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 4
(The Day of the Curveballer) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
If you want the right thing to happen, you'll need to know what it is -- and work for it. Justice does not flow like a waterfall. It begins as a state of mind: a commitment to what is right and true, and to nothing else. Your own emotions and hang-ups must not get in the way; be willing to fight for the success of others.
| 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
Over the next ten days or so, Jupiter in Scorpio is going to be contacted by a series of squares from Aquarius. Today, Venus makes its aspect; that will be followed tomorrow by Juno, and then eventually the Sun and Mercury. This feels like a situation in which a conviction you might hold -- perhaps owing to an intuitive insight, or something you can't quite define -- is called into question, whether by argument or by events that challenge your understanding. It's entirely possible that your belief may need to be changed somewhat. However, Jupiter will station retrograde early next month; so the chances are this is an ongoing process that will need to be played out. Don't rush toward any apparent quick solutions. More information will almost certainly emerge in the future.
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 4, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
If you want the right thing to happen, you'll need to know what it is -- and work for it. Justice does not flow like a waterfall. It begins as a state of mind: a commitment to what is right and true, and to nothing else. Your own emotions and hang-ups must not get in the way; be willing to fight for the success of others. You share a birthday with Rosa Parks, Alice Cooper and Jonathan Larson.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take every opportunity to build cooperation and collaboration today: the planetary weather is just right. You can easily put yourself into the feelings of others and talk to them in their own language. Make introductions where you think there's even the hint of possibility something good might happen.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Over the next few days, you may need to guide a loved one past their self-doubts and possibly their jealousy. This will be easier and more effective if you remember that whatever someone says is about them. Translate the word 'you' to 'me' and the scenario will be easier to understand.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You may understand what someone is experiencing before they do. Still, it would be best to give them the time and space to figure it out. When a person discovers something about themselves in an original way, it's a lot better than being told by someone outside themselves.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Most people are carrying around a lot of baggage where their sexuality is concerned. That might even include you, which you would know by a sense of heaviness and displeasure. It's time to explore these feelings in words. It's time to learn to say what you feel, and get feedback.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Suddenly a situation involving a relationship does not seem so urgent, pressing or calling for an immediate response. Some development or discussion over the past 24 hours gave you some perspective. Maybe you were hung up on something you wanted in the past, which is no longer relevant today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Use what you know, and work from your experience. It makes little sense to believe what others say when you have the wisdom to know that it may not be true. What is motivating you? What is motivating everyone in the situation? Keep asking till you get to the bottom line.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- The week begins with the Moon in your sign, providing a survey of all the tasks you want to complete. You have about 10 days to wrap up some important projects, so that you can collect yourself and move on to more important or more timely subject matter. Get ready to move on.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must keep a grip on important family matters, some of which involve money and some of which involve the care and destiny of children. To use kids as bargaining chips is not fair to them, though it often happens. Pay attention and offer your advocacy for the young people in your life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Have the courage to talk about what bothers you, or what you want. Just muster up the guts and say the words. To make any change, to grow, to evolve, or to improve your life, you must have the courage to speak up for what you believe and what you've experienced. This is on you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- There's a raging self-esteem crisis in the world, though you will feel better about yourself when you know what's important to you, and you act on it in tangible ways. Get this down to a trained, in-body sequence of moves, like driving a car or playing a musical instrument. Priority leads to action.
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) -- Work with the tension in a personal relationship rather than trying to fight it. Usually, the source of conflict is either: one person's actions trigger the other person's insecurities; or someone feels trapped or stuck. Size that up, and then you can figure out how to handle it. There is a way.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will need to assert your authority this week, though you must do it in a gentle and thoughtful way. Apply enough pressure and enough will to get a result, noticing when your insecurities are triggered. Stop and figure out what's going on. Then go back to easygoing, conscious persistence.
