Rediscovering Buoyancy
Dear Friend and Reader:
The Sun entered Pisces today, joining Mercury (which entered Pisces yesterday), Venus, Neptune and Chiron. On Friday, the asteroid Juno will join the pool party. You may be noticing that last week's edginess is softening, or feel a sensation like pressure has finally equalized.
Partly this is a typical shift after any eclipse, but it's being emphasized right now by the cluster of planets in Pisces.
I realize as I type this that it's also possible all the current water-sign activity might have you feeling more sensitive, a little overwhelmed or even desiring some measure of escapism in the aftermath of last week's tragic, horrific and maddening school shooting in Florida. If that's the case, rather than withdrawing completely, you might see if you can call on all this Pisces energy to shift into a more creative mode. That can include tending to your self-care.
Over the weekend, the Sun and Mercury entered Pisces, one day apart. They join Venus and long-term visitors Nessus and Neptune. On Friday, the asteroid Juno will join the pool party. The movement from Aquarius to Pisces signals a shift in emphasis from the intellect to the emotions; from groups as a political structure to the collective as organically unified; from disruption and pattern-setting to visioning and moving toward that vision.
As if to underscore the point, most of the more prominent aspects this week feature these planets in Pisces. The first of these is Venus conjunct Neptune, exact on Wednesday (and in effect now). Even when these planets meet in other signs this is an inspirational, dreamy, romantic, poetic, musical, psychically sensitive merging of energies. But in Pisces -- a sign Neptune rules, and in which Venus has a special affinity -- we may have the apotheosis of their combined expression.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 19
(The Day of the Explorer) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may feel like it's difficult for you to have any personal goals or ambitions. The more you reach for, the more you'll be guided into serving others. Be happy that, as a Pisces, these instructions are written into who you are. Nobody needs to convince you to do the right thing; you only need to get out of your own way and cooperate.
| Current Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Last week's solar eclipse in your birth sign is gradually working its effects on you. When an eclipse is building, it's like an invisible storm is blowing in. The psychic air pressure changes; there's tension in the atmosphere.

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
Still newly in Pisces, the Sun today forms a sextile to Pholus in Capricorn. In creative terms this could help immensely: a relatively small-seeming idea providing the seed from which a whole new project may sprout. On the flip side, as always, there is a danger with Pholus of things getting out of hand. If you find yourself on a train of thought that specifically feels troubling, it would be particularly wise to slow it down and do a little fact-checking before you act on your thoughts.
You can now get instant access to nine signs of the 2018 Planet Waves annual, The Art of Becoming -- with more to follow. Order all 12 signs here to read your Sun, Moon and rising sign and those of loved ones, or choose your individual signs here.
Daily Horoscope for February 19, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You may feel like it's difficult for you to have any personal goals or ambitions. The more you reach for, the more you'll be guided into serving others. Be happy that, as a Pisces, these instructions are written into who you are. Nobody needs to convince you to do the right thing; you only need to get out of your own way and cooperate. You share a birthday with Smokey Robinson, Amy Tan, and Seal.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Stand back and give others room to believe what they believe, whether you think it's true, or helpful, or not. They will learn more from their self-exploration than they could from having anything explained; and you will learn the art of detachment, which is an essential part of friendship.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- What some call creativity is for you about being a whole person. It's about drawing from all of your thoughts and experiences like a tree draws nourishment from the Earth and from sunlight. You are that tree; expressing your talent and curiosity speeds your growth and evolution.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- What you do for a living must include all of you. Don't make the mistake of dividing your character, or treating important facets of your being as separate from your true goals and your notion of success. Wholeness is not just an option for you; it's a bottom-line necessity.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Take it easy on bosses and others in authority today and tomorrow. They have more on their mind than you may know. If you're in a position of responsibility and are feeling like you have too much on your plate, seek some assistance from those you know are qualified to help.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Keep checking in with yourself about whether a relationship arrangement feels right. What you're looking for is whether your encounter with someone else supports your whole being, or just part of who you are. It may seem like a lot to ask; but, really, it's just the starting place.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- A plan is merely an outline or a sketch -- not the finished production. You may have an idea of what you want to happen; and once you take action, another experience may arise. Don't toss that to the wind, however. What you actually get may turn out to be the experience you wanted more deeply.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Remember at all times that your life is a quest for wholeness. We find what we seek most of the time; and if you seek a balanced and meaningful existence, that's what you're the most likely to find. Your life has no separate parts. Everything you say and do is a reflection of your true being.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- When embarking on a creative or amorous enterprise, the one thing to put out of your mind is 'how people will respond'. That is literally none of your business. Your only goal needs to be expressing yourself sincerely, without any fear of making mistakes. As for the critics, they need to get a life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Planets are gathering in the angle of your chart associated with safety and security, though those are the last things you want right now. Rather, push yourself into new and unfamiliar territory, particularly where creative and amorous encounters are concerned. Fortune's flavor is bold.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- The purpose of spiritual ideas is to bring you closer to your source, not drive you away. There's no need to analyze things until they have no life left. Any vaguely intelligent person knows the difference between right and wrong. The variable is the rules you allow yourself to play by.
Aquarius Solar Eclipse Reading from Planet Waves
Dear Friend and Reader:
I've just finished the Aquarius audio reading. It's now available for instant access.
This is a separate project from the annual edition, different in every way. This is a 75-minute astrology reading in two sessions, based on Thursday's solar eclipse in your sign -- the last solar eclipse in Aquarius until Feb. 17, 2026.
|
Chart for Thursday's solar eclipse. The monograph behind it is by the German philosopher Dieter Duhm. |
This chart has a lot to say about relationships, self-esteem, family and ancestral matters. I do my best to help you orient inwardly to experience these dimensions of growth and healing not only as real, but as accessible, workable places to focus your energy and time.
Your reading is available for $66. My audio readings are some of the most unusual astrology you'll encounter. I believe they go deeper than the work that most professional astrologers do, reaching the spiritual essence of the chart's message, though without the need for a natal chart. This reading will stand up to many playings.
Doing this work takes experience and preparation; if sold as "self help" these readings would be going for many times the price. My intention is to keep them accessible and affordable.
I've prepared a sample of the reading lasting about six minutes, which you can play as an mp3, or download as a zip file. The music is an original piece by Vision Quest, the Planet Waves in-house ensemble.
My method of reading opens up so many dimensions that I could devote hours to each chart. Yet this reading distills certain vital messages, catching you up on the past few months of Saturn in Capricorn, and previewing the transits of Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.
I'll be following up with a tarot reading in a month or two, a feature that's included with your reading, though is about to be split off as a separate product. That's not delivered on a schedule -- it's ready when it's ready.
Your reading also includes access to last year's audio reading (so that you can review it) as well as The Book of Your Life 2017 written reading.
Thank you for being a Planet Waves customer, and for trusting me as your astrologer.
With love,
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The best people you can attract into your life are the ones who believe that their existence is a quest for wholeness. Some are content to be the pastry chef pumping insulin, or the cardiologist who smokes. That's not you, and those are not your people. Invite wellness and sanity into your life.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- With Mercury, Venus, the Sun and other planets in your sign, you have everything going for you. One hitch, however, could be investing your time and energy into people far less committed to being alive than you are. Leave the purists and the perfectionists to their own business.
