"Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which I have become woman was painful. I wept because I was no longer a child with a child's blind faith. I wept because my eyes were opened to reality....I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. That means I love humanly. I wept because I have lost my pain and I am not yet accustomed to its absence."
-- Anais Nin

If Your Birthday is Feb. 21
(The Day of Intimacy) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You are not a victim of life; not only that, you know from experience that love is the answer to all of the world's problems. It's a good thing you have plenty to offer. Do so freely; the more you offer your passion and beauty to the world, the better you'll feel, and the happier you will be. Bring the warmth to a chilly world, and offer forgiveness where there's anger.
| Current Pisces Weekly Horoscope
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?

Current Pisces Monthly Horoscope
You are made up of all of who you are. To be yourself, you must be completely you, and draw on all of your experiences and all of your feelings, and count every need and desire as valid. Be aware of when you try to cast away or disown certain elements of your being.

Written in the Planets
Today's Venus-Neptune conjunction is a reminder to keep idealistic expectations about the object of your affection in check. Yet it's also an open invitation for soul-level connection with someone, or to make (or appreciate) some truly inspired art. Meanwhile, Mercury is making a conjunction to Nessus in Pisces and a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. There's an opportunity here to make some headway in addressing the effects of a persistent, troublesome pattern -- specifically, it would seem, certain patterns of thought or communication. If that rings a bell, has it ever occurred to you that this pattern might be one you learned or inherited from a family member? This realization, if true, might make it easier to release or at least loosen your identification with it.
You can now get instant access to ten 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 21, 2018 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You are not a victim of life; not only that, you know from experience that love is the answer to all of the world's problems. It's a good thing you have plenty to offer. Do so freely; the more you offer your passion and beauty to the world, the better you'll feel, and the happier you will be. Bring the warmth to a chilly world, and offer forgiveness where there's anger. You share a birthday with Nina Simone, Alan Rickman, and Jordan Peele.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You have a financial strategy; you just need to use it. Once you put it into action, you will notice that your life changes pretty soon after. One question to consider is about the extent you are willing to need and accept the support of others. Get clear about that, and put your plan to work.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You can take a softer approach to others and yourself than you might feel is appropriate. The benefit of being gentle is that it conserves energy, and cultivates goodwill. People are incredibly sensitive right now. A polite request can get excellent results, and everyone feels good.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You have creative ideas about what you want to do with your career, including some workable material. However, you will need to demonstrate them through experience. Do your best to leave past disappointments behind. You cannot build on them; you can only avoid them in the future.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Give yourself plenty of freedom to think about the kind of future you want. Let your mind stretch into the distance, across the ocean of time. Make friends with the goals and desires you like the best. Over the next month, you will get to choose from among them, and take one for a test drive.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You need clear agreements with people, especially those you're sexually involved with. That will require being honest about the past; and, if you want the relationship to continue, forgiving and moving on. If, however, a particular problem has turned into a habit, that calls for a special response.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Before you judge or accuse a partner of something, check in with yourself and inquire whether you're in any way involved. You don't need a showdown as much as you need to balance out the energy, and take responsibility for your own thoughts. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Work may be the last thing on your mind today. If it's even vaguely possible to take a personal day, or to get out while the sun is still shining, try to do that. Even a few hours away from your responsibilities will do you a world of good. You need some time alone with your thoughts.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Meet people halfway, whenever you can. If you have something they need, be generous. You don't need to follow the prevailing view of the world, which is "every man for himself." That's not the way to build a happier world. Your happiness is closely related to that of the people you love.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You're more sensitive than usual today, so honor that fact. Avoid upsetting people and tense environments, if you can. Be subtle about this; sidestep the conversations you're not ready for today, and take care of yourself. If you have a bathtub, today would be a great day to use it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Listen to what you say today, and make sure you're being honest. You might exaggerate certain problems, though you might also overdo it on praise. You're actually on safe ground if you stick to the caring side of the spectrum and remind people how much you love them.
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) -- You must stop blaming yourself for what other people did to you in the past. At the same time, you need to have the strength and self-respect to do your part to make sure it does not happen again. The two are not mutually exclusive. Both depend on enhanced self-awareness.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today's unusual astrology will teach you something about yourself and your relationships. You don't need to look for the lesson, but rather notice what happens. Pay attention to what people say to you, and how you respond. Then observe how you feel. You may solve a problem that's vexed you for years.
