Aries (March 20-April 19) — It could be argued that an eclipse has points in common with Mercury retrograde phases. In both instances, normal procedure is suspended or disrupted for a while, and things might seem confusing or out of place. Then the balance is restored, and we go on with our lives, perhaps a little wiser for the experience and what it’s shown us. Put more simply: if this eclipse generates a little tension, your resilience will probably be more than adequate to field it. — by Amy Elliott.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Keep your eye on the ball this week, and don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked for too long. What you’re striving for is too important to allow for bringing anything less than your full attention. Likewise, take sufficient time to do everything properly; don’t fudge quality trying to get to the end before you’ve finished the middle. Treat every task as if the buck stops with you, and as if each detail has your personal signature on it — whether that’s officially true or not. — by Amy Elliott.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Many things look different when viewed with the perspective of time. When it comes to your longer-term ambitions, it makes particular sense to consider your journey as a whole entity, rather than focusing on specific details — especially if you’re currently experiencing what you might view as a setback. What may seem an impassable gulf to you now will probably be well behind you by next week; by next year, most likely, any difficulty will be all but forgotten. — by Amy Elliott.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Most people are, at present, feeling a little frayed around the edges; and this week’s eclipse seems to be at least partly about confronting that reality. Your innate sensitivity may cause you to feel overwhelmed at times, but it also primes you for dealing with your emotions constructively. Use that tool for all it’s worth. Remember that, ultimately, you are enough. Other people know this; if you need to, reach out to them, and soak in the abundance of their love. — by Amy Elliott.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — In recent years, the maxim “Treat others as you would be treated” and its variants came under some scrutiny among social media philosophers. Many suggested it be changed to the possibly more thoughtful “Treat others as they would wish to be treated.” The spirit of both is really the same. Especially in your relationships, it might help now to apply this rule consciously, however it’s best phrased. Do your best to ensure your presence makes someone’s day sweeter. — by Amy Elliott.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — This week’s eclipse will likely help demonstrate for you something about the nature of true service. Especially if you’re given to excessive self-deprecation, you may be inclined to think this is a matter of quantity; or rather that you’re not doing it right unless you’ve taken on more than you can safely handle, usually the grubbier the better. That will no longer do. It’s time to stand out and focus on a form of service that requires the full weight of your intelligence. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Any less-than-ideal situation at work is likely to come to a head this week, in the sense of compelling you to recognize if the job you do is not meeting your needs in some way. Try to step back and look at the entire scenario in terms of yourself as a whole person. It’ll be easier to see where your work is not meeting you. If any of this can be improved by communicating desires or ideas, do so in the peaceful yet sincere fashion for which your sign is well known. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — It does no one any good to bottle up or conceal their emotions. Conversely, dwelling on past hurts too long can be equally enervating. It may be necessary for you, this week, to deal with a specific matter from your past before you can move on. If you can, try to view what happened through as wide a lens as possible, taking in all the circumstances. Some added perspective should make it easier for you to attain the peace of mind you need and deserve. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — A lot of factors, including the imminent Mars-Vesta conjunction in your sign, are no doubt nudging you to at least consider where you might focus your energy and your capacity for devotion. This is substantial, provided only that your chosen cause sufficiently engages your interest. With an eclipse taking place in your house of communication, you may choose to do something involving writing or speaking, or some other method of expressing your unique voice. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — This week’s astrology will probably have the effect of clearing away any remaining cobwebs from before the end of last year, especially regarding your self-esteem, as you continue to explore this surprising new world wherein you can shine without fear. You know now that to love yourself, you don’t have to exceed everyone else, or get a certain mark on a scoreboard. You merit self-love by virtue of simply existing. Just be you as firmly as you can. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

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 still available at 33% off, for $44. After the eclipse the price will go up to $66, where we will leave it.

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) — Today’s eclipse would seem to be the latest in a series of events that basically add up to a rebirthing process for you. The last solar eclipse, back in August, perhaps first clued you in that some of the habits you’d held over from the past were no longer serving their purpose. Our coping mechanisms are really astonishing, but they have a use-by date. You can now begin to develop new techniques that reflect the person you are becoming, rather than who you once were. — by Amy Elliott.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Several points of stress may culminate with the eclipse; then the tension should hopefully start to deflate gradually, like an air cushion. It’s important that you be kind to yourself and give this process sufficient time to unfold. In particular, check in with any feelings of self-doubt. Remember that though the results of your endeavors may not always be immediately palpable, in truth experience has already shown that your work is not only worthwhile, but of decided importance. — by Amy Elliott.
