Planet Waves Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 27, 2018

Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 27, 2018 (#1231) | By Amy Elliott
Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — It seems you have some specific decisions to make in terms of where you will focus your energies. To some extent virtually the whole of the past year has been preparing you for this moment, through your experiences and through the information you’ve picked up, so that by now you pretty much know where you’re at. The remaining analysis may be about how far you’re willing to head in the direction of growth and healing, despite possible temptation to do otherwise. Yet if you listen to your inner guide, you’ll understand perfectly what these choices actually mean. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Comparing oneself to others is among the quickest routes to discontent. Yet we often do this, driven either by envy or — perhaps more commonly — by self-doubt and fear that we are not quite up to the mark. If thought out clearly, however, it’s possible to see how absurd these comparisons are. We are each unique, with our own qualities, flaws, joys and sorrows. You have an opportunity this week to really absorb this understanding; doing so may cause you to notice some unaddressed deep feelings, which you can then analyze and make the initial steps toward healing. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Try to keep an unrushed pace for the next few days, at least, and allow developments to take their course rather than playing an overly active hand. The astrology of the past couple of weeks has been somewhat fraught for many, and there are a lot of frayed nerves about. You would probably do well for now to refrain from committing to any particular course of action, remembering that what is said and done cannot afterwards be unsaid or undone. Instead, stay aware of your feelings as they arise, and do your best to be transparent and honest with yourself, if not with others. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — All relationships tend to contain moments when we’re not happy with a particular circumstance or recognize that an ongoing arrangement needs to be altered. For example, you might feel as if you’re doing too much, and need more support in a certain situation. If something’s bothering you, try to bring it up in an honest discussion — no need to go in with both barrels, but likewise don’t be a martyr and pretend everything is halcyon. That won’t make the issue disappear. In any ostensibly equal partnership you need to be able to communicate truthfully and like adults, rather than parents or children. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Just at present, you might well be fired up with enthusiasm, and wanting to move mountains in your current cause. This is undoubtedly wonderful to behold, yet try to remember that you are only human after all, with finite (if considerable) time, resources and strength. You can honor your limits and your need for occasional rest, and yet still accomplish so much that everyone else’s eyes water just looking at you; especially if you organize your time well and wisely. Your passion is evident, in any case; and it will almost certainly inspire others to emulation within their own lives. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — There comes a point when one simply has to take a leap of faith, and move forward from theory into practice. Caution is frequently reasonable and, more often than not, a little pause for analysis can be beneficial. However, it would seem you’ve done all the thinking out that you possibly can on one specific issue. The next phase is experimentation. This is not likely to be a circumstance where dipping your toe in the water inevitably leads to being in deeper than feels comfortable; in any case, stepping outside your comfort zone is a necessary part of growth. I suggest you wade in courageously. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — If you’re puzzling over where to go from your current position, or feel as if you’re stuck where you are, there may be help available in the form of certain memories. For example, you might recall specific childhood dreams or ambitions, which perhaps formerly you dismissed as impractical, but are now freer to dust off and re-examine. What did you want to do before, that you possibly now have time to fulfill? Remember that one is never too old to learn new things, and that the world contains an abundance of information; more than enough to discover in one lifespan. So discover away. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You appear to be learning that sincere love has to begin with yourself. This seems counterintuitive in our society, but ultimately it makes sense. After all, love is arguably more complete when there is no need for approval or a return attached to it; and if we don’t love ourselves, more often than not we end up relying on others to do it for us. If you find this something of a stumbling block, which most of us do at times, make it a project of an almost academic nature. There are methods that can help you circumvent self-doubt, and treat yourself with the justice and kindness you merit. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — One of the ways we express self-respect is in the way we treat other people, which means how often we tell the truth, keep our word, help out when it’s needed, and so on. This includes taking responsibility for carrying out our principles and standing by them, or being open to change when we learn something new. Doing all this requires a kind of self-trust, and the more you feed that on a regular basis, the more naturally it comes. It’s also important to recognize whenever you’ve done something you can be proud of to any degree; this helps build confidence. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — We’re in a time when our individual differences are being emphasized, often at the expense of understanding what we all have in common. Love and respect that apply universally are decidedly not in fashion. Yet, while it’s true that we each have a responsibility for how we live, there is surely also a place for compassion that regards only the fact that we exist, we’re alive and we’re human. When you feel sure that you can draw a decisive line (or, perhaps, build a wall) between you and someone else, it may be a useful exercise for you to look more closely at what links you together. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — On the one hand, critical thinking is an invaluable skill. When you experience an intuitive idea it can make a lot of sense to investigate further, ask yourself questions, or put it somehow to the test where possible. On the other hand, as with all things, taking skepticism to extremes will tend to distort it: you might end up dismissing anything and everything, or come up with a potentially baseless theory to satisfy a general sense of distrust. The golden mean usually involves keeping an open mind, and being willing to sit with a little uncertainty until more information can be had. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Gradually, your social milieu seems to be transforming into one that you find more congenial, more supportive, and more reflective of you as a person. Part of this may be down to a realization that you simply don’t have to associate with anyone who makes your life more difficult. I don’t mean in the sense of challenging you when necessary; rather, getting in the way of needed development and healing. Recent experience has taught you that where your principles or integrity are at stake, at no time can there be any compromise in favor of someone else’s convenience. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Monday Morning Horoscope for Dec. 24, 2018

Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — You have the potential, at this moment, to make a lot of progress on an endeavor that’s of considerable importance to your ambitions. Holiday season notwithstanding, it may well be a good idea to take some time to yourself, knuckle down and get some things done — especially if you’re feeling like there are ideas inside you bursting to come out; it’ll likely be a relief to get them off your chest and onto paper, even if only in raw form for now. You’ll probably be in an even better position to go at this full throttle once Mars enters your sign, though it can’t hurt to get the engine warmed up. Do what you need to do. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — New information can sometimes render it necessary to make changes in a philosophy or practice, which can feel somewhat discomfiting. Yet life is a process of trial and error, and we gain wisdom through experience. It’s also very likely that the habit or train of thought you’re now on the verge of leaving behind was necessary to you in the past. Therefore, don’t be too hard on yourself on the basis of your previous decisions; instead, you might recognize your learning as a sign of development — a cause for pride, rather than regret. The present and future await. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Just now, it would appear your mind is more than usually inventive. You’re already something of a natural at seeing things from a fresh viewpoint, but in the present moment you seem able to tap into your imagination almost at will. You’ll probably benefit from taking it easy over the festive season, albeit avoiding excess; sometimes a break from routines helps rejuvenate one’s mind and allow for ideas to flow more freely, especially if there are fewer stressors or points of doubt. Give yourself permission to enjoy a peaceful and restful week, however you might best accomplish that. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Relationships thrive on trust, and it helps to remember that trustworthiness begins at home. The more you cultivate your own honesty, transparency, integrity and self-knowledge, the more you will tend to attract those who do likewise; good faith seems to possess the power to multiply itself, and those who routinely demonstrate it set an example for everyone around them. Eventually, it becomes clear that there was never any need to be anyone other than who you are, or anything less than entirely open and sincere. Think over what you say and do. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — The week ahead promises to be burgeoning with opportunities for enriching experiences, though you may need to find them. One place you can do that is in helping take care of those less fortunate than you, or serving your community in general. Look around for ways in which you can support a local charity, for example; preferably by donating time and effort rather than money alone. Alternatively, if you’re spending the holidays with family and/or friends, perhaps there’s an original activity everyone will enjoy, or an interesting place your group can visit. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — At this time of the year the emphasis is on your solar 5th house, the place where reside your concepts of art, play and pleasure. It’s not easy having Capricorn in this area, and despite the fact that a wellspring of creative or imaginative energy is waiting to emerge from you, you seem at this moment rather hesitant to let it flow forth, or uncertain where you might find it. Perhaps the best thing at present is not so much to take an active part in the process, but simply to relax as much as you can, accept whatever is there, and allow your ideas to shape themselves gently and gradually. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — It might be useful for you this week to remember that, while you can’t change the past, you can influence what is to come. You may also be judging yourself rather too harshly for previous events, perhaps assigning blame to yourself where none is in fact due. Take note if you’re doing this; possibly you could benefit from reviewing these matters objectively, as if from an outsider’s perspective. It’s actually a good general rule, if you’re prone to self-criticism, to ask yourself what you’d say if someone else was in the same position. The chances are you’d be a lot kinder. Try that approach. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — When something isn’t quite clear, we can either: seek out more information, sit with the uncertainty, or hazard a guess based on the data we have. Many people choose the latter option, despite the risk of possibly being mistaken. You know better than to make those sorts of assumptions. If there’s something you feel you need to know, it’s likely you can gain a more coherent understanding of the matter, through research and a little detective work. Be shrewd and, where able, keep your ideas to yourself until you can be virtually certain of the truth. Be prepared also to let things emerge over time, when appropriate. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — New Year’s resolutions in our culture are usually an absurd process whereby we make impossible promises to ourselves, and behave with unimpeachable virtue (or, perhaps, prudishness) for a few weeks or so, until we inevitably break our word, shrug and then move on with the business of daily life. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother with any of that rubbish. If you sincerely want to make a change to your life, respect yourself and your intelligence by having an appropriate and accessible goal, and a plan to get there — and resolve to persevere even if you stumble. Accept no imitations. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Though your ruler Saturn has now been in your sign for about a year, you might be quite a way off as yet from any sense of feeling at home. Part of this may be due to certain memories or deep impressions surfacing and demanding your attention. This could actually represent a significant step toward a new phase of embracing who you are unapologetically. It may be a good idea to avoid placing unreasonable expectations on yourself. Instead, work with what you have — the very act of acknowledging and facing what you truly feel is one of courage, and lights the way to healing. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — With the holiday season rapidly approaching, you may be feeling somewhat keyed up, as if you’re absorbing the collective adrenalin rush of shopping and preparation by osmosis. If you still have a few things to do, I recommend you get them out of the way as soon as possible, while you’re in the relevant frame of mind; make a list, so that you don’t overlook anything. If you find you’re saddled with rather too many festive duties, see if you can delegate some, or find a way to simplify some of your plans. The aim is to make a space for yourself to get in some serious relaxation time. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Remember that when it comes to belief systems, emotion and human nature can have a way of tripping us up. Conformity is one way our thought process can be skewed; another is a sense of rebellion against the status quo. There’s a reason the list of logical fallacies is so very long. It’s true that intuition is a thing, and you have that in abundance; however, at times it’s helpful simply to check your ideas for coherence, consistency and rationality. If your instinct is sound, it’s quite unlikely to conflict with logical principles if examined. Don’t be afraid to use these tools. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 20, 2018 (#1230) | By Amy Elliott
Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — With the emphasis turning toward your house of career and status, and a powerful Full Moon about to take place right across that axis of your chart, you may well be at least beginning to feel — to borrow from Terry Pratchett — as if your get-up-and-go has got up and come. That’s likely to be a good deal more obvious in the New Year, once your ruler Mars is in your sign. Just remember all the things you’ve learned about yourself recently, especially where you’ve gotten in touch with your sensitivity and empathy. Keep close to your sense of fairness. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You may be experiencing some tension regarding specifically the question of what holds most meaning for you, and your general philosophy. These are profound questions, which we are in a sense compelled to answer with every decision we make and every action we take. The responses we give can change as we go through life and encounter new situations, though sometimes we stumble upon fundamental principles of such importance that they stay with us for many years. If there is turbulence around you, concepts of that sort are usually a very good anchor. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Mercury, your ruler, finally leaves shadow phase on Monday, meaning it will enter new zodiacal territory for the first time since its retrograde. If you’ve been feeling as if you’ve yet to shake off the sensation of slowing down and of a reflective state of being, there may be more information to emerge on your present path of self-discovery before you’re ready to move back into the active realm. Be as patient as you can, and keep going until you see fit to take a different route. At some point any uncertainty you may feel will most likely wane, and clarity fill the gap. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — In part thanks to the heavy emphasis on the nuclear family, around this time of year there is a culturally driven wave of sentimentality involving relationships and the imperative to Not Be Alone — regardless of whether the available company is worth keeping or not. Thanks to the Full Moon this week, you might be experiencing the urge to commit to a specific arrangement, which you would otherwise probably take your time in deciding. However, there’s no reason to rush anything; use your discernment, and weigh out all the details carefully, before coming to a decision. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — The solstices are among the pivotal turning points in the year, around which festivals tend to congregate, and which are globally significant. When they’ve passed, we tend to go back to our routine lives. That said, there is something particularly interesting about tomorrow’s solstice, namely a sense that some of its magic can be carried forward into the workaday world, if we so wish it. There is beauty and meaning and power in every day, though sometimes finding it takes a bit of digging. You seem to possess the key, at present, to doing just that. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — On the face of it, the astrology looks as if you’re about to turn into the creativity-related version of a perpetual motion machine. Yet it’s also possible that what you’re feeling right now is more akin to stress and overwhelm, or confusion regarding what to do next. Keep an eye out if you’re prone at the moment to wanting to push the river, or expecting too much of yourself. You cannot shoulder a level of pressure on the order of having to turn into Picasso overnight. You’re only human, and perhaps could do with remembering that it’s okay to need downtime occasionally. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Pay close attention to your body and emotions during the festive season, especially in social and other interactive situations. This time of year can pile on the stress as well as offering relaxation and general cheer. Take it easy, and don’t feel obliged to participate in any activity you’d rather not. Many people enjoy the parties and celebratory atmosphere; if you prefer a quiet, homely gathering or not much at all, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Stay alert and aware of your instincts, and try to avoid too many excesses, particularly of alcohol. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You’ve probably heard that riddle on what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object. Nothing in our lived reality, fortunately, is quite so absolute; yet there are times when something has to give. When a matter feels important to us, we are apt to let our emotions sway our judgment; yet it can be enormously helpful to take a step back, analyze the situation and ensure there isn’t a factor we’re overlooking. At any rate, if there seems to be an inflexible barrier in the path, it’s probably sensible to pause and try to figure out a way round it. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Awareness is thankfully growing regarding the impact of single-use items on the environment. It seems far too many things are made to be disposable in short order. This can impact our thinking as well; it can be ridiculously easy to decide that a project or an interest isn’t working, and to throw it over for something new without further analysis. Yet what might seem like a blind alley can often have hidden doors. If you think you’ve arrived at an impasse, look around carefully for a way through that you haven’t yet spotted. Chances are there’ll be at least a few. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — The focus of the planets is shifting onto your sign, and it would seem you’re about to get a foretaste of what the incredible 2020 astrology might feel like for you. If you’re experiencing apprehension at the idea of being more central in the grand scheme of things, you can acknowledge this and sit with it for a while. To embrace that situation will require confidence — in yourself, and in the various beliefs you hold dear. What you possibly need to realize more than anything else is that there is every reason why said confidence is perfectly justified. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You may feel as if you’re currently paying a visit to Wonderland, or a parallel universe in which everything is upside down or exists in ten different dimensions. There are certainly enough Mad Hatters operating on the current world stage, after all. Yet if you listen carefully, you will find the strain of truth running beneath the cacophony like a deep bass line, maintaining a rhythm of solid, reliable tones. Hold that sound in your mind, and allow it to drown out the noise when things seem like they’re getting to be too much. You know who you are, and you can lean on that feeling. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — The astrological spotlight is currently on your zones of public visibility, suggesting that you’ll have opportunities to stand out more palpably over the mass of your fellow humans. Small moves in the right direction could cause a surprisingly dynamic response, propelling you into a broader realm of influence. Just remember to keep your sense of perspective; it’s all too easy to let that slip away when the world is changing around us, but you’ve grown immeasurably, and sacrificed far too much to let go of your roots and of the person you’ve spent years becoming. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.


Planet Waves Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 13, 2018

Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 13, 2018 (#1229) | By Amy Elliott
Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — For many, the days are long gone when adhering to a certain religion was compulsory, socially if not legally. Now, when there is such widespread access to cultural ideas and beliefs of every kind, choosing one’s spiritual or ethical path can simply be a matter of what best fits one’s personal values. However, the pressures of family and community do still exist, and it can sometimes be very tempting to accept a dogma unquestioningly rather than face criticism or worse from others. Yet there is a true liberation in recognizing your need to live honestly as yourself, and in committing to that. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Part of the challenge in working through any healing or growth process is that the results often don’t show themselves immediately. It’s all too easy to decide instead to give up and go numb, and sleepwalk through the world. Yet you have too much good sense to consider that as anything like a real solution. One approach that may help is to get more involved with an issue you care deeply about, or are interested in. This needn’t be merely to ‘keep busy’ so that you can put what you’re feeling out of your mind; it could also give you an increased sense of purpose. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — When we really need help, we often discover who numbers among our truest friends. When someone close to us needs help, we can find in offering and giving support that our intimacy with them deepens. Relationships tend to appear at their most profound and wonderful when those involved have the opportunity to express qualities that bring out the best in us: compassion, loyalty, warmth and empathy, among others. Be there for loved ones if they need you, even if you’re not sure what you can do; and if you could use someone’s company or assistance, reach out. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Your instincts may be more finely tuned than usual this week. If there’s any kind of interpersonal tension in your workplace or daily life, the chances are you’ll be one of the first to spot the change in the wind. What you do with this information depends on your judgment; you might be able to prevent a misunderstanding, though possibly it’s too early to gauge the best action to take. Don’t rush into anything, therefore, and wait for more to unfold if necessary. You may figure out a creative and friendly way to resolve any problem that does emerge, once all the pieces are in place. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Little unexpected events happen relatively frequently in these lives of ours, and usually it’s fairly easy to adapt to them. With those of greater significance, some time can be required, and perhaps it’s also necessary to take a more active role in readjusting. This week, you may be visited by an inspiration out of the blue, or may discover that it’s time to step something you’re working on up a gear, or change its course somewhat. You’ll probably be able to meet this alteration without too much difficulty. Make room for whatever arrives, and keep an open mind as to what you’ll do next. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — When it comes to your wellbeing, don’t forget that the mind and the body are connected with and feed into one another. If you’ve been feeling under the weather physically, check how you’re doing emotionally; and vice versa. A holistic approach will probably mean you’re more in tune with yourself in general, as well as being less likely to miss any useful information. Pay attention in particular if any longstanding or old patterns recur; new clues may appear that were perhaps unclear or not available to you before, and which could lead to new ways of maintaining your equilibrium. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Virtually all human responses to a situation contain some form of emotion, even though it’s often subtle or driving from underneath the consciousness, rather than open and out on the surface. We like to think of ourselves as rational, reasoning beings, though going through the full reasoning process actually requires us to be honest and transparent about how we feel. These facets of the character tend to be shamed when on display, or smothered guiltily whenever possible, though there is no logical point to this. In dealing with a specific issue, you’d benefit from being aware of all your reactions. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — The state of the world is troubling for many, and the information overload we’re all constantly receiving can trigger certain old stress points. If you’re feeling that way, remember to take however long you need for self-care, and step away where possible from toxic environments, including online, if they’re getting to you. One thing you’ll want to avoid in particular is any tendency toward a narrowing worldview. These are challenging times for people with open and candid hearts, but you owe it to yourself to be real, and not to allow anything to constrict you or shake your courage. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Don’t be afraid to express yourself if you feel your views might not quite fit in among your peers, or be acceptable to those in positions of authority. The uniqueness of a perspective can add significantly to its importance, simply by virtue of presenting an idea unthought-of before, or one that existed but no-one had previously dared to bring to the discussion. Humanity is gloriously messy, and is not designed to slide neatly into perfectly square boxes, though some may wish it so, for the convenience of not having to think too hard. Never mind pleasing them — you have more interesting things to do. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You may be feeling somewhat hemmed in at present, perhaps rebelling against what you might see as ponderous duties (which are somehow infinitely more irritating when we’re in the mood just to enjoy ourselves). One possible solution that can help mitigate this feeling is to be as organized as possible, including separating work and leisure hours; this allows you not only to feel in control of your time, but to see the balance consciously. Where possible, organize your spaces as well; see if you can establish a designated area to wind down. Remember that ultimately you’re working with your mind. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Much of the time, it’s possible to follow your passion without treading on the sensitive toes of self-appointed social arbiters. Sometimes, it isn’t. Yet if you have a sincere devotion to something, there might well come a time when you must choose between, for example, staking your reputation and/or being subject to criticism on the one hand, and giving up or making a compromise on the other. At some stage, committing to your vocation may mean accepting risks such as these. However, you might ask yourself what’s so scary about that; after all, few things in this world are more liberating. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — It’s not all that easy to understand the true potential of an ambition; once the necessary research has been carried out, the only thing left is to pursue it and see what results. Often, there will be unexpected and interesting developments, which are illuminating if not always to one’s taste. Just now, though, your ability to gauge probabilities is rather astute. In considering an action, you may well be in a position to measure likely outcomes to an unusual degree of accuracy. By all means cross-check your ideas with whatever is available in the outside world; however, as a rule, you can trust your judgment. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.


Monday Morning Horoscope for Dec. 10, 2018

Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — In the creative process — in bringing just about anything into manifestation — the first step is the vision. An inspiration appears, and an idea is formed. How you shape that idea into concrete reality is up to you; just now, however, you seem to be in a good position to receive that initial spark of light from the cosmos, so pay attention to what’s on the edges of your consciousness, including any dreams you can remember. Practice creative thinking as a daily exercise, which means observing the world around you and inventing narratives in your mind. Notice who you encounter in the public arena. What could their story be? Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Healing tends to operate as a function of evolution. That means if you are healing, you are also growing as a person; which is not something that can be rushed. Even — perhaps especially — if you are still mending from very old hurts, it’s crucial that you hold space for yourself and take whatever time you need, without self-reproach. Try to open up to people close to you, provided you feel safe doing so. Those who care about you most will surely offer their support should you need it, as you would do for them. Lovingkindness is one of the most beautiful phenomena this world has to offer, after all. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — One of the most challenging aspects of relationships is projection: because we don’t always know the entire contents of our own minds, we tend to imbue others with those characteristics of which we’re not aware. Then we are surprised or disappointed when they act like themselves instead of the person we’ve created in our head. Mercury’s recent backwards trip, however, has likely helped you with any difficulties in this line you might have been experiencing. You’re much more aware, now, of who you are, and where the boundaries sit between you and others. Hold on to that knowledge as much as you can. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — These past months may well have been enlightening and inspiring for some; they were decidedly frustrating or strange for many. Our culture is not used to long periods of virtually compulsory slowing down and re-evaluation, such as we have known with these days of one retrograde after the next. However, with Mercury now direct and the year almost behind us, we can begin to move forward again. The path of growth and service you have kept on all this while stretches out before you, hopefully somewhat more smoothly and with fewer brambles, and there is much to be said for continuing in this direction.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Dedication to an art or a craft, or simply to living as oneself, is a sacred thing. When you bring the energy of your devotion to your chosen field, the universe answers with a power all its own, giving you the tools you need. This week, if you’re a little stuck or just need an extra boost, try opening yourself up to the gifts of the cosmos. Do whatever is necessary to rekindle the passion you may have felt when first committing to your vocation — or, if you are waiting to be called to something new, do what you can to be able to receive that message. It should arrive soon enough. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — After such a long spate of inner planet retrogrades, it might seem that the last thing anyone could possibly want is yet more reviewing of the past, or introspection. Yet what you may need to do now is more along the lines of tying up loose ends, and decisively dispensing with elements of former times that no longer have a place in your life. This might be best done in a structured, methodical way, possibly with support from others. The point is to free yourself once and for all of certain challenging influences, so you can get on with the business of living in the present and planning for the future. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — There are times when the only appropriate response to a situation is a fully mature one — and then, often people don’t quite succeed at that. However, there are other times when it’s helpful, if not necessary, to act more like a big kid. I don’t mean having a massive tantrum in the middle of the supermarket, of course. I’m really referring to: doing something because you want to do it, or because you always have and the opportunity’s arisen; playing, or making playful art; or enjoying the feel of the sun on your face or the wind on your skin, almost as if for the first time. Let out your joie de vivre this week. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — It really is true that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Once overcome, fear becomes meaningless. This does not require you to rush into facing what frightens you head-on. In fact, these things are mostly best tackled using gradual, incremental, planned exposure. The other approach can work, if you’re in the mood — but it must be up to you. On the whole, though, confidence is something that cannot be forced. It’s built lovingly, one brick at a time; and the foundation must be thoroughly fixed in place before anything can be positioned above it. That way the structure is hardy enough to ride out all weathers. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — One of the things that would seem to characterize this next phase of your life is working with, or transforming, your spiritual dimension. Sagittarius has an inherently spiritual element in part through your ruler Jupiter, and perhaps also through Chiron, which has a special association with your sign. Yet when the outside world beckons, there isn’t always much time to look within and quietly observe. True, you’ve just had a whole year to get acquainted with your deeper nature, and in the process probably learned a good deal. Now you’ll likely want to bring at least some of that into the sunlight for everyday wear. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — It may take a while yet for some of the progress you’ve made recently to make itself clear. In fact, you might be thinking you haven’t got very far at all, or that you’ve taken some steps in the wrong direction. Take heart. The developments have all been happening beneath the radar of your immediate perception. If you look closely you’ll see the pattern; however, it will probably emerge of its own accord soon enough. In any case, take it a little easier on yourself, and remember that we all hit choppy waters once in a while. Under those circumstances, perseverance can itself be a major accomplishment. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s possible that we’re all best off treating life as somewhat like an experiment, in which we learn by trial and error. It’s tempting to apply judgment to the ‘error’ part of this equation, especially nowadays, and considerably less easy to respond with compassion, whether to our own mistakes or someone else’s. Yet it is always worth the try. In addition, doing so would probably help you to ensure that what you’ve learned in the past few months is preserved somehow, and within your reach, and that you’re fully aware of its value. This should help you avoid regressing into old habits, and establish more constructive ones. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re more than ready to take your career to the next level, whether through stepping up a structured ladder or expanding your reach. Only be sure that you’re doing what you love, and that your work keeps you in touch with the cosmic, or spiritual, consciousness that forms so central a part of your existence. This does not seem to be a moment for devoting the majority of your essential energy to anything other than what is paramount for you. If that means you need to be cautious and circumspect before making any definite commitments, take all the time you require. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Jupiter in Sagittarius Horoscope for Nov. 15, 2018

Jupiter in Sagittarius Horoscope for Nov. 15, 2018 (#1227) | By Amy Elliott
Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — You’ve gained enormously in wisdom over the past few months, making discoveries about how your individuality mixes with the world beyond in its various manifestations. Now you’re preparing to take that knowledge into the deeper recesses of your mind, which is prompting a longterm reconsideration of your entire philosophy, and of what holds meaning for you. Likewise, you’ll probably want to review your aspirations and spiritual beliefs during the next several seasons, gradually forging a path that primarily upholds what you know to be true, and enshrines your right to self-determination. If there was ever a time when you could compromise your integrity or core principles, that can be safely consigned to the past. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — An essential component of embracing change, especially within oneself, involves embracing mystery and complexity, and apparent paradox. This can include confronting your own shadow material, or deep-seated emotions; which means being open to new information about who you are and what you might need or want, and not suppressing or denying any of it. If you’ve been prone to mistaken conceptions regarding any of those points, you’ll have the chance to deconstruct them, and gently rebuild a self-understanding that integrates all of you. Be careful of apparently simple answers to anything you’re puzzling over. This is likely to be a signal that you have somewhat more to discover before reaching a conclusion. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Jupiter is now in your opposite sign, Sagittarius, where it will reside until December 2019. This is your sphere of interpersonal relationships, and it’s also where your ruler Mercury is about to station retrograde. If your previous partnerships have been subject to any kind of pattern — if you’re consistently meeting the same kind of person, for example, or similar habits tend to form when you’re with someone — now is your chance to analyze the causes and, if necessary, break the mold. Jupiter’s influence may pique your interest in a different type of partner, or encourage you to experiment with new venues or hobbies. What you learn in forthcoming weeks could be considerably useful in helping you loosen any self-imposed restrictions. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — The concept of altruistic service sometimes gets mistaken for a martyr complex, or false humility, or mendacity. Yet in its highest form, shorn of pretensions or pointless self-flagellation, it gives a fundamental sense of purpose to daily life in a way nothing else can quite parallel. This need not be mutually exclusive from the pursuit of your calling; if anything, the two would encourage and support one another. What it might help you to consider is whether you’re choosing goals, and methods of reaching for them, that are really worthy of you; how far you truly identify with your aims; and whether you need to rearrange certain aspects of your world, so as to make it easier to devote time and resources to what’s most important to you. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Jupiter’s yearlong visit to your zone of creativity, self-expression and fun should herald a new sense of freedom and the ability for you to engage in play, including play with a purpose. You might want to develop some new skills, or immerse yourself in your art form of choice. Be aware that any activities that might be seen as unconventional can attract the ire of the staid and the boring, though don’t let that hinder you. If you face pressures of that kind from bosses or other parent-like figures, perhaps consider finding a more congenial environment in which to explore your interests, or meet the challenge head-on if you wish to. At any rate, your time is your own; no-one can prevent you from being yourself.Get your full reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — During the months ahead, you could experience changes in your relationship to your past, roots or family. You’ve possibly already noticed this beginning, and may have some idea as to where you wish to focus any re-evaluation process. Mercury retrograde should help with this, bringing certain facts into the spotlight. Look closely at any event or action that seems to resonate with phenomena from your early life, or from interactions with parents; notice what you’re thinking and especially what you’re feeling. Also, your concept of home might be altering or expanding; perhaps you’ll be fired with an urge to see more of the world, or resettle elsewhere. After all, home is a relative term; it could refer to a specific address, or the planet. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Is your current environment exciting enough? Do you feel sufficiently stimulated in your work, or in your interests? If the answer to either of those questions is anything other than a resounding ‘yes’, this may be your year to do something about that. You’ve likely already caught a glimpse of a new perspective on your capabilities; if you’ve previously underestimated them, chances are you’re much less inclined to do that, and quite right, too. Once this series of inner planet retrogrades is finally over, why not take up a class, or a new hobby? You might also visit some places you’ve never been to, or spend time with different people, especially if you’ve gotten into a habit of doing the same things week after week. Live your life. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — You could see a surge in productivity over the next several months, with Mars and Jupiter working together to unleash your creative powers. You may find you’re able to turn ideas into a concrete reality with surprising speed. What this will perhaps require from you more than anything else is self-belief. In part, this means being willing to devote yourself to your ambitions regardless of how others might react, and regardless of any desire you may have to gain approval. If nothing else, this exercise will help you to value yourself and the gifts you bring to the world; though the more actively you work on supporting your self-worth and independence, the more your inventive mind can manifest satisfying results.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Your ruling planet Jupiter has returned to your sign for the first time in about 11 years, which probably feels a good deal like coming home to yourself. What has happened for you in that span of time? What have you learned, and where do you want to go next? You may already have an idea as to these points; however, make sure you have a grasp on the breadth of the possibilities; there could be many more options available to you than you currently perceive. The one place you can’t go is backwards; you’ve experienced too much to allow the wisdom you’ve gained to be wasted. Also, there are others who need sorely to benefit from your fresh insights and understanding. Don’t be afraid to set an example. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — What do you dream of? Who do you see yourself becoming in the next few years? You’ll probably find yourself grappling with these issues in the approaching seasons. You might also notice that your intuition is somewhat enhanced, and that it’s easier than usual to access the deeper realms of your mind, and your spiritual nature, as if someone is shining a light into places that were previously hidden. Take a deep breath, and go exploring. As an earth sign, it’s likely that you’ll always have one foot on the ground; just be careful, like Ariadne did for Theseus, to make a trail you can follow back to the surface, especially if you’re not used to contacting these parts of yourself. Maintain your boundaries. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Thanks to the internet, the meaning of the word ‘community’ has in recent years been altered, no longer referring to a group of people necessarily within the same locale. In the months to come, you might also be revising your definition of a community, including what constitutes an ideal one for you. This would partly involve meeting and spending time with people who enhance your life, and vice versa. However, you could also think about the ways you can help improve your community, perhaps by providing a service or a gathering space for congenial minds. It’s likely there’s at least one area in which you have clout, expertise or a passion that you can bring to the table. Lead the way, and you’ll soon see who follows. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — There would seem to be two particular things to note about Jupiter returning to Sagittarius, which is the region of your chart associated with career and ambitions. Firstly, this represents an opportunity to expand the reach and output of your working life, possibly through promotion, spreading influence or a change of focus. Consider what you’d ideally like to see take place, regardless of how likely that scenario appears, before taking steps to begin making it a reality. Secondly, you may find that your aspirations, and their fulfillment, become more closely connected to the expression of your identity on a profound level. This might feel something like discovering how all the various aspects of your life are neatly linked in a coherent pattern. Get your full reading by Eric here.


Monday Morning Horoscope for Nov. 5, 2018

Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — Part of how we learn is through experiencing new circumstances, to which we then have to adapt. You’re likely to be involved in a situation that’s in some way unprecedented, and therefore calls for a fresh approach. Your response need not be immediate; hopefully you’re in a position to take whatever time is necessary and consider all the facets, including how you’re feeling. The prospect of a departure from your customary MO might, for example, feel a little intimidating; if that seems to be the case, try to figure out what could be behind that. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Relationships need trust in order to thrive. The current environment does not exactly foster the building of trust, though that makes it all the more crucial that we do so where possible. If you’re feeling doubtful about someone else, or finding it difficult to maintain faith in general, you might begin by considering your own behavior and words, and focus on bolstering your reliability. It’s very easy to stray into little deviations from the strict truth, if we don’t keep watch. Hold yourself to a high standard in that respect, and you’ll surely inspire others to do the same. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — As an air sign, you need a certain amount of stimulus; if your daily life is feeling a little samey, you might be inclined to make some changes this week. It would probably be advisable, however, not to rush into altering anything irreversibly, especially where there are risks involved. Try instead to satisfy your creative or intellectual urges with the resources you already have. Consider how you can use your time or money more productively, for example, rather than trying simply to acquire more of either. If nothing else, this will be a good exercise in distilling your options. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — This week’s New Moon in your 5th house of art, sex and play should herald some fresh, fun ideas on these or similar themes. Be open-minded about what comes through, and don’t dismiss anything out of hand, even if it requires more faith than you are usually willing to bestow. That includes stopping any self-doubt you might be feeling from hampering you. Equally, be wary of unnecessary distractions. While it’s certainly tempting to allow ourselves to remain in a metaphorically somnolent state, it’s more important than ever to do precisely the opposite. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — This part of the season is traditionally when the veil between the worlds of flesh and spirit supposedly grows thin, and when we honor our ancestors. One possible factor behind this in the Northern Hemisphere is that the nights are growing longer, giving rise to a general sense of turning inward. You’re now being invited on something of an introspective quest, in which you could explore and revisit your concepts of the unseen and the spiritual. Among other things, pay attention to your dreams, and notice any patterns relating to family traits and histories. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You may be feeling driven to get certain things accomplished, as if for a deadline. Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing; however, be careful not to push yourself beyond your capacity, or to try and do too much too fast. This isn’t only about preserving your wellbeing; you need to keep a pace that allows you to be clear, thorough and accurate in your communications, and take one step at a time. Hasty decisions may also be at risk of unforeseen snags, or of being suddenly reversed at a future date. You likely have more time available than you are perhaps aware of. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — People are not the best judges of their own merit, and many seem particularly inclined to put themselves down. You know better than to treat minor mistakes as irrevocable blots on your soul, though just at present you may be feeling somewhat off-kilter and unsure of yourself. You’re actually pretty grounded and clear on your goals, and deep down you know you are perfectly capable of carrying them out. Don’t allow your fears to take hold; if anxiety starts to plague you, remember that trusting yourself is not only reasonable but in line with the facts. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — A rather special New Moon in your sign is bringing you a chance to reaffirm your relationship with the cosmos, and with the higher part of yourself. This will be especially valuable if you’ve been feeling a little lost and disconnected from your most profound sense of identity; though, given your astounding strength of character, that can never be taken from you entirely. As a Scorpio, you have the important task of keeping humanity in touch with issues we’d rather leave permanently on the back burner. That starts with being authentic and honest with yourself. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Your ruler Jupiter finally enters your sign Thursday. You’re probably already experiencing the beginning of this, and it’s likely to be a gentle and gradual shift in consciousness, rather than a grand arrival complete with fanfare. It’ll almost certainly help if you allow these changes to happen at their own pace. Potentially you could also document them as you undergo them; this may give you a better sense of what this means specifically to you, and perhaps assist you in understanding more thoroughly all the strides you’ve made in the past 12 months or so. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Family and ancestral traditions can have a deep importance, and often we find ourselves adhering closely to them in times of uncertainty, for a sense of comfort if nothing else. The rules and customs of a social group can be likewise a source of relief. Yet if we try to maintain them rigidly, we can soon find ourselves bumping up against restrictions or limitations that might work for others, or have been well-adapted to former times, but for us simply don’t make sense. If you encounter this, try not to shy away from the cognitive dissonance; this can lead to necessary progress. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This week may see a leap forward, or at least a few steps, in the realm of your career or longer-term ambitions — if you’re open to the required changes. It would seem an issue that’s been something of a sticking point for you is being challenged in a pretty direct way. Whether you decide to alter your way of thinking is up to you, though reviewing your position would surely not hurt. In the end, this boils down to a question of what you consider to be fundamentally important, what your ultimate principles are, and where you really want to be heading. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Every living being has a place in this beautiful universe, and that includes you. It can be so easy to lose sight of that in comparisons with others, or in a maze of judgment, and then suddenly feel no longer a unique soul with divinity at its core, but instead ‘less-than’, or ‘sinful’. Yet in reality you know that to deny your own sacredness is to deny that of everything else. Or, said another way, however obscure or distant it may seem at times, faith in whatever deity or spiritual entity you swear by means faith in its power and presence within you. Honor yourself accordingly. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.

Planet Waves Weekly Horoscope for Nov. 1, 2018

Weekly Horoscope for Nov. 1, 2018 (#1225) | By Amy Elliott
Aries

Aries (March 20-April 19) — It is becoming increasingly crucial that we don’t place too many barriers between ourselves and the rest of humanity. Whatever you feel, whether it’s elation or deep distress, or one of the infinite states in between, you don’t have to put on a mask, especially with loved ones. If you think you need some form of support, don’t hesitate to seek it from people you trust. In turn, you might be in a position to encourage similar transparency in those you care about most. We’re all much better off if we look out for one another. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Taurus

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You might be getting a sense that not everything is as it seems, or that something is foggy or unclear. It’s likely there is information you don’t yet have, though that will probably emerge over time. You may also feel as if someone close to you is not quite giving you the full picture. In the absence of anything more definite, it would perhaps be wisest to adopt a policy of trust. If there are new details to be revealed, they will transpire eventually; though if you have specific questions you might also try asking directly. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Gemini

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Your ruler Mercury is now in shadow phase, though you have a couple of weeks before it stations retrograde. While this is an indicator that the pace may be starting to slow down for you, you don’t exactly need to stop the clock and freeze yourself in time until it stations direct. Be wary of feeling inclined to do that if things don’t quite happen at the speed you’d like. There is plenty of room for living your life regardless, and for continuing to broaden your horizons. Be open to possible new experiences this week. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Cancer

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Creative or self-expressive endeavors are likely to receive assistance from your more intuitive sensations and feelings. Pay attention to your dreams, and perhaps try not simply to record them but to consider in detail your emotions surrounding them. Playing word association games might help to draw out anything sitting below the surface. Notice when a smell or a strain of music produces a specific emotion or thought. Do what you can to recognize yourself as a cosmic being, and try to keep tuned in to your higher ideals. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Leo

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — In part everyone is socialized to depend on others for approval, rather than trusting in ourselves and following a moral code we believe in. Yet eventually it becomes clear that if we don’t appreciate ourselves, whatever we receive even from those we love best will not be enough to counteract the resulting self-doubt. You’re getting a window into the fact that you must be your own best friend. Learn to state your needs openly, and to respect your own wishes and abilities, and you’ll no longer need anyone’s sanction.Get your full reading by Eric here.

Virgo

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — If you’re experiencing a pattern of behavior or events, it’s possible that something in your past will be key to unraveling that and moving beyond it. See if you can make specific connections, and then notice whatever memories emerge. Unlocking them is likely to be a significant help in breaking through any habits you need to release. As you do this, remember that whatever concerns your wellbeing is important, even if it appears trivial to you. Don’t be tempted to keep sweeping these things under the carpet. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Libra

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — One quality you value, which your sign traditionally possesses in abundance, is a sense of tolerance. You can be diplomatic even in trying circumstances, and find common ground with people who might seem undeserving of the effort, while not allowing anyone to cross the line or take advantage. This skill is becoming rarer and more difficult. There’s a lot of fear and hostility about, so we need to make connections where we can, and show compassion and love where it’s needed. Take pride in doing so, and do it courageously. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Scorpio

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Thanks to many centuries of cultural influence by a religion that exhorts us all to be ashamed of existing, acceptance of who you are, faults and all, can be difficult at times. Remember that none of us is or ever can be perfect, and try not to be unduly hard on yourself. Even the shadow, to use Jungian terminology, has its gifts. We place far too much emphasis on ‘repentance’ and self-flagellation, and not nearly enough on recognizing the good and the sacred that exists within each of us, and celebrating it. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — With Jupiter entering your sign in just a week, you may be feeling under pressure to get things in order so that you have a clean slate. You don’t need to rush, however, and certainly not to push yourself to exhaustion. Resist any temptation to compare your accomplishments with those of people around you, and instead recognize everything you’ve achieved in the past year, which amounts to something considerable. You’ve made real strides in learning to understand and trust yourself, and the fruits of that already show. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Capricorn

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Many people are apprehensive about the future on a national and global level; given the content of the news, they have reason to be, though if we consider the progress we’ve made over the centuries, things look rather more hopeful. You may take comfort in this, and in the fact that wherever fear exists, there is also bravery. One thing you can certainly rely on, however worried you are right now, is your determination and strength to maintain your principles, and to grow wiser and more attuned to the divine within you. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Aquarius

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This is a pretty pivotal time for you, though it may seem as if things are actually grinding to a halt, or even going backwards. Yet, just as with planets that are apparently retrograde, this seems really to be a simple matter of perspective. While there might be certain influences moving out of your life at present, consider that these could be factors you need to let go in order to make room for you to bring in new ones, which are designed to help you all the better. Let the changes play out, and see what’s there when the dust clears. Get your full reading by Eric here.

Pisces

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — As the saying goes, trust in God but lock your car. Just now you are more than usually open to the promptings of universal fraternity, which is a beautiful thing indeed and not to be gainsaid, especially in the current environment of intolerance and hostility. However, you should not overlook common precautions. Certainly be willing to trust, but also be cautious about in whom and how far you place your faith. Keep yourself protected energetically; this may be counterintuitive, but it will help you maintain your sense of compassion. Get your full reading by Eric here.
