This Week's Horoscope for Pisces by Eric Francis Coppolino
In astrology, the 12th house is the one that is usually said to correspond with yours, the 12th sign. This is the most mysterious house, which is about all things invisible, and not available to the normal senses. How have your dreams been? Have you noticed that you're doing some kind of deep working out? Have you noticed that the air feels a little cleaner, like in the morning after it's rained all night? Last week's eclipse took place in your 12th house, which was like a psychic purge. Periodically, this house needs the pressure equalized with the rest of your life, your mind and your chart, and that's what happens when there's an eclipse in this area of your chart. Notice your new clarity, feel it, and pay attention to what you notice. Make sure you do that Pisces thing and keep your point of view moving rather than fixed. One benefit to this event was that it's helping set you free from thought-forms that had grown too rigid. Look at everything and everyone, including yourself, from as many angles as you can.

You share a birthday with Sidney Poitier, Trevor Noah, and Rihanna.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- It may be daunting to take responsibility for your own life, though nothing else has ever been true. Even small children take a role in shaping their destiny, trying as hard as they can to influence the flow of events. You are well past that. Your decisions are important. Make them with care.

Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You may find that someone close to you is especially open to what you want, by which I mean they will make space for your more unusual erotic desires. Co-create a space that's free of interruptions, and where you have plenty of time. Think of this as creating a temple devoted to love and pleasure.

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Jimmy Breslin, perhaps the most famous columnist in this newspaper's history, once advised journalism students, "Don't go where the crowd is." Stay away from the fuss, and address people one on one, where you can both hear one another speaking. Then, strive for genuine understanding.

Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Through the much of the day, you may have the feeling that things are running out of control, so the less you do, the better. By late afternoon, your mind and your environment will cool off, and you'll be able to make some decisions. Until then, keep reminding yourself, "slippery when wet."

Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- By now you're figuring out that it would help if you had a plan. Just a sketch or outline on a placemat will do. Any strategy you come up with must be flexible, because so much happens so randomly these days. But you do need some concept of the steps leading to your goal.

Virgo
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You may be concerned that if you initiate contact with someone -- such as stop and say hello -- you will lose control of your life. Yet one is not qualified to drive a car if they don't know how to operate the gas, the brakes and the steering. All three remain available to you at all times.

Libra
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You may be in for a surprise today, though if you roll with the rollercoaster, you'll have a good time. One of the problems with modern life is that it's entirely too structured and punctual, to the point of competing with the Japanese commuter railroads. Being flexible will do you good.

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Few things that turn out to be bold and beautiful achievements ever went according to plan. If anything related to work or a personal project seems to get bollixed up, take advantage of the seeming chaos and invent something new, or take a different route. Creativity is an accident.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Keep stirring the pot. Do whatever you didn't do yesterday. Meet anyone you don't already know. Keep a pair of dice in your pocket, and take them out and roll them on every surface, to remind yourself of the random nature of life. Get your mind off the grid. Regulations are for bureaucrats.

Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You're one of those people who benefits when your expectations are not met. Whether the outcome is better, worse or different than you were planning, when you introduce variables, you come out the winner. If you remember that, you'll relax and not cling so tightly to so-called reality.

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.

Planet Waves
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
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When you recognize you're a person who is in a state of constant evolution and development, it becomes obvious not just that you shouldn't judge people, but that you cannot. Not only that, it's a waste of perfectly good creative energy. Focus on who you're becoming. That's a great investment.

Pisces
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must go all-in on your most cherished goals; that's the only way to get a result in the world, and it's the only way to have fun at what you're doing. Draw on all of your resources, set two or three goals, and then make them happen with everything you've got. You will do it.
