Planet Waves Weekly Horoscope for Dec. 7, 2017, #1179 | By Amy Elliott
Aries (March 20-April 19) — If you’ve lately experienced a rather tense or disruptive period, this week you’ll probably feel a little more like yourself. With an ongoing question, you’re beginning to realize that the answer is perhaps found within you, and in your place in the world, as opposed to in a specific relationship. By being your own champion, you’re likely to uncover something important regarding your goals, or your forward trajectory, that you may have previously missed. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“Self-awareness, both of your thoughts and of your conduct, is your most powerful tool to influence your experience of growth into the new forms that you are. This includes reaching deep enough into yourself that you make some contact with the aspect of you that is timeless and changeless.”
— From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life — which you can read here. Eric’s beginning work on the 2018 annual edition — you may pre-order that here.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Cultivate diplomacy within your relationships this week. If you experience frustration or annoyance with partners, remember first that both you and they are adults. Avoid getting embroiled in spontaneous arguments. If there’s an issue you need to bring up, do so in a planned way; then speak calmly, and be open to the possible responses. In all your interactions, listen carefully to what is being said. Above all, don’t be afraid of sitting with uncertainty for a while. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“There is a genuine skill in creative mastery that involves standing back from judging what you’ve created. You might listen to what other people say; you might work until what you’re doing feels good; you might take a swashbuckling attitude and not care; you might trust the fact that you always strive to do better (or any of these at the right moment).”

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Anything is possible before it happens. Even if you sit back and put your feet up and do the absolute bare minimum, there is a nonzero probability of someone handing you a life of luxury on a plate. Unless you’ve been born into wealth, however, that probability is close enough to zero that you can regard it as such. Besides, where’s the adventure in that? You’re made of finer stuff anyway. So take hold of the energy that’s emerging into the realm of your daily life, roll up your sleeves and get to work, just because you can. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“You’re the one who has to negotiate between your potential and what you do with it. This is an active, everyday challenge being a Gemini. The world can seem so much bigger than you are, and in one way it is — but your mind is the thing that encompasses the world, all the world’s people and all your experiences there.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Mars entering your 5th house on Saturday might be considered the universal signal to hang loose and have some playtime, or to give free rein to your imagination. That said, your fun is likely to be all the more enriching if it has a purpose. Therefore, it’s probably wise to consider the meaning in all you do, as much as possible, and in each personal connection you form. Applying consciousness to your acts in this way is a form of consecration, and makes life itself an offering to the Divine. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“Notice your true feelings for people and make peace with the fact that you feel that way. You may have had a habit of resisting intimacy, and now you have little choice but to yield and open up to allowing others to touch your soul. In this way, you will come to the direct experience of growing into the soul dimension of your life.”

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — There would seem to be a perpetual hunger in our culture for discernible progress and measurable results, and an eternal pressure to push forward. This is partly why these three-week Mercury retrograde periods can feel so disruptive: we don’t understand the importance of downtime in the creative process. Yet sometimes ideas need to be left to ferment. This week, allow yourself some well-earned relaxation time. You’ll be all the more refreshed afterwards. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“Rather than thinking of yourself as the entity that holds all the planets in orbit, think of yourself as someone who grounds the Sun into the Earth. This is actually what you do in the physical and spiritual sense, and it grants you some relief from the much larger responsibility of providing all the power and all the gravity.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — It’s probable there’s still more to be revealed in the matter of family or past experiences that you’ve been dealing with. To some extent you perhaps feel as if nothing could surprise you. Yet now you need to work through what you’ve already learned. Where possible, write down your thoughts, or confide in a trusted friend. Take the time to process everything properly, and let yourself feel what you need to feel, before moving forward. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“There comes that time in any growth or improvement project where you have to ease back, have a glass of wine or even smoke a cigarette. Radical, I know. However, you’re at a stage of your life where you must follow your own rules, and to do that, your rules must be practical and workable.”
— From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life — which you can read here. Eric’s beginning work on the 2018 annual edition — you may pre-order that here.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — This week you will potentially be offered a welcome boost either to your self-esteem or your resources, or both; but there is a condition: you must be willing to receive it. This may involve ongoing and conscious work, especially if there is something from your past, or in your deep psyche, persuading you that this good thing can’t be yours. Whatever. Examine the roots of your reluctance, if you will; then banish it firmly and decisively from your mind. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“Rather than being a clear mirror, relationships can often feel like a house of smoke and mirrors. This is especially a concern due to the experience of projection: ascribing to others feelings that are actually your own. Anais Nin is credited with saying, ‘We don’t see things as they are. We see them as we are.'”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Mars entering your sign Dec. 9 may bring some fresh inspiration, in particular relating to your understanding of yourself. You may discover a talent or quality you didn’t know you had. In the rush to identify with specific cliques or communities, we sometimes forget that we are complex and multifaceted beings. Some old script might well have prevented you from seeing what you’re truly capable of. You’re about to find out; expect surprises. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“The self-esteem theme, described by the union of your 1st and 2nd houses, is the claiming back of your natural desire as a birthright. If you are in doubt about what you want, or if you consider it a potential moral affront, it’s difficult to feel good about yourself. For you, taking possession of desire is integral to your respect of yourself.”

Sagittarius Astrology Reading by Eric Francis is Ready!
Dear Friend of Planet Waves:
This weekend, I completed the astrology portion of the Sagittarius reading. I wanted to make sure it was recorded before Mercury stationed retrograde in your sign, and before the Full Moon in your opposite sign.
We’re in an astonishing moment globally, challenging though it is — though, for Sagittarius, it’s particularly amazing. Saturn is set to leave your sign. Mercury will be retrograde for the next three weeks, highlighting the Saturn-Pholus-Galactic Core conjunction.

Eric Francis.

This is rock-and-roll astrology, and I’ve done a reading to match the vibrant, growth-oriented and downright beautiful quality of your charts.
We have two astrology sessions for you right now. In the first, I describe the process of Saturn in Sagittarius, and what Mercury retrograde is suggesting you do, in preparation for Saturn’s change of signs.
I also talk about why Sagittarius is an utterly unusual sign, containing two deep-space points that can serve as a direct connection to source. I also talk about the relationship of Chiron to Sagittarius, which describes how to harness this energy.
In the second section, I look forward: to the sign changes of Saturn, Chiron and Uranus, which take hold between now and your next birthday. These three sign changes take us beyond the Uranus square Pluto era (2011-2015) and into the next distinct phase of astrology — a short but powerful one that will peak in 2020 (the Saturn conjunct Pluto era).
This is fresh, alive astrology that’s easy to follow. I am at my best as a motivational speaker, wherein it’s my role to make your own potential compelling to you.
You can get the reading at the current order price of $44. In a month or so, your tarot reading will follow along.
The reading includes many resources, such as articles relevant to your astrology that will provide helpful backstory, and your 2017 written reading from The Book of Your Life.
(Yes, we are over-delivering here, though the moment calls for it.)
With love, your friendly neighborhood astrologer —
P.S. If you’ve never listened to one of my audio readings, you’re invited to check out last year’s Sagittarius reading as a gift. It’s a great way to review your last year during this Mercury retrograde phase, and prepare to make the most of your new reading.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — This week for you may be an exercise in establishing boundaries. You are perhaps feeling as if you have a lot of responsibilities to various people, including family members and partners. Yet there’s only one of you; and you need a certain amount of time to be by yourself, and to reflect, however cheery and gregarious you may usually appear. You should honor that, especially now. By all means help where you’re needed, but don’t be a martyr. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“The overwhelming message of this series of South Node eclipses is that you must get beyond your own past, and find the present. Finding the present means sorting out your emotional reality to the point where you understand what happened, and what it means — and use it as a source of strength rather than of weakness.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — Things may be a little tense for you this week, to say the least. Be particularly cautious against the possibility of overreaction in case of the unexpected; whatever transpires is unlikely to have unfolded in full, and may do so in as yet unimagined ways. Therefore, be patient with others around you, and with yourself. If you need some outlet for your feelings, consider opening up to people you trust; only be sure to tell the whole truth. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“If you’re worried about your reputation, this is merely another way of assigning power over yourself to others. You cannot control what anyone thinks, and no matter how pure, sinister, friendly, loving, raunchy, talented or slothy you might be, people will think what they want. What they might think is not your business.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Mars in your house of career and ambition will likely urge you, over the next few weeks, to consider — and perhaps reconsider — your life goals. It would seem you have an untapped well of potential or skill, and may need to recalculate to account for how you’ll use it. This means having faith in yourself, and is probably vital to affirming who you are. So think big. Rather than placing limitations on your ideas, imagine how they could be even more audacious. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“It looks to me like you need to call an end to a certain line of conduct or thinking that has been in your family for a while. The opportunity you have is based on the fact that you can actually see this issue for what it is. It’s normally difficult to discern, and it’s been masked or veiled recently by its prevalence in society. Once you have it in your sights, address it on the spot.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Despite the constant nagging sensation we all have that the world is going to hell in a handbasket (or possibly one of those shopping carts with dodgy wheels), your chart seems to have everything pretty neatly placed just now, aligning your consciousness with your purpose. You know all you need to know, at least for the present, about living in accordance with your dharma. The only thing that can interfere is you; and that won’t happen if you cultivate faith in yourself. — By Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
“You mean a great deal to the people close to you, and though they may not say anything about it, they certainly know it. If it ever seems that people benefit from you more than you benefit from them, rejoice in that fact. You need less than they do; you are more complete in yourself than most people around you; and anyway, that self-completion is the major theme of your astrology.”
