Getting Oriented in the ‘New Normal’
Dear Friend and Reader:
With so much going on in the news that stirs up fear, trauma and a sense of powerlessness, it’s especially gratifying and surprising when something actually goes right: on Tuesday, the citizens of Alabama voted in a special election to put Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Doug Jones into the seat vacated by current U.S. Secretary of State Jeff Sessions. The loser? Republican Roy Moore: a man who has been accused by several women of harassing them — and in some cases sexually assaulting them — when they were only teenagers and he was a District Attorney.

What does it say about us as a society that most people seemed to assume Moore would win despite the allegations, which come on top of his well-known history of racism, homophobia, misogyny and extremism?
For one, it’s a barometer of the political gaslighting spearheaded by Trump. Even though we’ve seen famous, powerful men dropping like flies from their positions of status for the last couple months, the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief remains in office, spouting irrational tirades via Twitter as though the planet itself depends on it.
If Trump seems untouchable regarding the sexual assault accusations he faces, why wouldn’t a man he publicly endorsed (at the urging of Stephen Bannon) prove the same? Especially in a state where, up until 2003, a 14-year-old child could get married with the consent of the parents.

If Your Birthday is Dec. 15
(The Day of Expansion) | Sagittarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You’re poised to make great strides in finding your true purpose where work is concerned. This will be more like remembering something than discovering it. And the full expression of your idea will most likely come in the form of an unusual collaboration or partnership. Begin experimenting immediately, and you will find your way to the hidden stone.
Written in the Planets
Today the Moon joins a veritable stampede of planetary critters in Sagittarius, several of which are making interesting aspects to objects around the solar system. It looks like a good day to talk about what it means to nourish our feminine sides, as well as what it means to be a female spiritual warrior who leads from the heart. At the same time, other aspects bring up the concept of our collective wounded masculine side. What is the nature of that injury, and what might healing it look like? No matter what your gender, sex or sexual orientation, the framework of astrology describes everyone having a ‘feminine’ side and a ‘masculine’ side. Even if you keep your inquiry to your journal, it may prove incredibly useful given the cultural conversations happening now.
The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual by Eric Francis, will be your best guide to the major astrological shifts ahead. If you pre-order now, you’ll not only get all 12 signs of the written reading for $99, but we’ll include three extra videos covering the forthcoming sign changes of Saturn, Chiron and Uranus.
