Aries (March 20-April 19) — Don’t fight the urge to go inward this week. The activity in your 12th house is pulling you into the deeper recesses of your mind; where, as in many a story, you’re likely to discover the key to the puzzle of your future path. It’s essential for our wellbeing that we come to understand all the parts of ourselves, and you are no different. There is nothing wrong with self-knowledge or self-acceptance being your major focus right now, if that’s what you need it to be. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — It’s possible that you feel somewhat overwhelmed by the extent of your social engagements. Being a focus of attention may be agreeable for a while, but then eventually one tires of it, and wishes for more substantial fare. The key to navigating this is almost certainly one of balance. There’s no reason why you can’t enjoy the company of friends regularly, though for you these events will undoubtedly be all the sweeter if you also do something solo, or intended just for you, each day. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — The decks are cleared for you to really focus on your ambitions, and get where you need to be. The chances are you know exactly where that is, though it wouldn’t hurt to check in with yourself now and then, to make sure you’re on precisely the best course. Any snags will likely be as a result of someone not quite understanding your viewpoint, or not quite willing to stand behind you. Cultivate the society of those who you know will support you without caveat or hesitation. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — The next phase of your personal journey is in development, and you seem to be feeling that the changes can’t come too soon. You may need to secure a loose end or two before moving onward; regardless of whether this is the case, be sure to care for yourself and do whatever helps you relax and feel re-invigorated. You’ll probably reach the stage quite organically where you can simply let go of the stress of the past, and move on to exploring fresh ideas with childlike enthusiasm. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You’re more introspective than you care to admit, and just now you may be especially so. What you might not realize is that a healthy relationship with your innermost thoughts is an important foundation for self-esteem, and for your actions in the outer world also. True, these journeys into the mind can sometimes be dreamlike or insubstantial, or simply confusing, leading you to try and rationalize away your instincts, however useful they are. This week, try listening instead. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — This week’s Full Moon is likely to feel somewhat pivotal for your relationships, in whatever state they currently happen to be. You’ll probably receive more attention than usual. That said, it appears best to avoid making plans that rely on your expectations of others. Focus on living in the moment and enjoying what comes your way, rather than plotting out a future in precise detail. Also, make an effort to listen to what others want, and then try to help them to it as far as you reasonably can. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Too often, when it comes to the quality of daily life, people appear inclined to settle for what they have, without examining whether it could be better. Or they might seek material improvements only, regardless of whether that contributes to spiritual or moral fulfillment, or even to happiness. This Full Moon presents an opportunity for you to consider your regular existence in the light of what truly matters most to you. Think of this as a subject on which compromise is simply not an option. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — A potential abundance of creative inspirations, or simply of opportunities for fun and frolic, may leave you scratching your head as to how much you can really fit in, or what you should be doing first (and with whom). Assuming a lack of more concrete factors, I suggest you simply follow your well-honed intuition, and go with whatever seems to be the best use of your time. The lessons and the logic will probably reveal themselves at a later date; for now, you can let the flow of events carry you. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — This week’s Full Moon could essentially operate for you like a torch, illuminating certain facets of your early life that were previously a mystery. That said, you may need to do some work figuring out where best to carry it. Potentially the factor that seems most obvious to concentrate on may be a red herring, concealing something behind it that turns out to be far more significant. It will probably help to avoid going for easy answers here if you want to see things as they really are. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — By now you have a pretty good idea of what you want, and how you plan to get there. While it’s undeniably helpful to have something worthy to strive for, this week’s astrology questions whether you may need to broaden your focus a little. One’s entire life cannot be spent concentrating on a single idea. We all need a variety of interests. This week especially, you might take an interest in your immediate surroundings; perhaps by getting involved in a local project, or hanging out in favorite places. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — With Pisces as your second house, it’s crucial for you to spend time figuring out what drives your concept of self-worth. That means getting — and staying — in touch with your feelings. Acknowledging their existence, for one, and their nature, for another, will surely help you understand your essential humanity. That fact alone is sufficient reason for you to feel you have value and a purpose. Be clear with yourself, this week, that your emotional world is real, valid and important. — by Amy Elliott.

Pisces Birthdays 2018
What Have You Learned, and How Will You Use It?

“Thank you Eric, very helpful to have your perspective. As a Piscean (with Scorpio rising and Moon in Cancer forming a grand trine — all very watery) I have certainly experienced massive transformative times and have been set on a journey with many unexpected twists and turns.”

— Trudy Austin

Dear Pisces Friend and Reader:

What have you learned during the seven or so years Chiron has been in your sign? Have you faced crises; been pushed to grow; learned you are stronger, more creative and more whole than you previously thought? Do you feel more at home in your skin or on the planet than you used to?

When Chiron begins its process of leaving Pisces in April, you’ll want to be sure you take its lessons with you. It’s possible they’ve been hard-won, but chances are you are very much the better for it, and are aware of this.

As a fellow Pisces, Eric has been sharing the experience the whole way; as an astrologer with an established track record of working with Chiron, he’s in a prime position to guide you through Chiron’s entrance into Aries, your second house of what you value — including your self-esteem — in your upcoming 2018 Pisces Birthday Reading.

This ‘audio meditation’ consists of two segments of audio astrology (plus a tarot reading that will arrive a little later), each at least 30 minutes long. You can download it to any mobile device and listen as many times as you like throughout the year — any time you need a little extra encouragement, some orientation, or a reminder of the longer arc of your path.

Note that the Birthday Reading is a separate project from the annual edition, different in every way — they make excellent companions. While the annual readings are written chapters of an interconnected set, your birthday reading is a stand-alone deep dive into your astrology as your solar year is beginning.

“Ah Eric — just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of.”

— Liz Glanville

You can pre-order your 2018 Pisces Birthday Reading here, for just $33. We offer the lowest price first; the price will increase as we near the recording and publication of the reading.

Eric will be covering far more than Chiron’s transition — astrology that impacts your relationships, career, finances, sexuality, healing process, creativity, family and more. His audio readings not only stand up to repeated listenings throughout the year, they’re almost like getting a personal consultation for a fraction of the cost — and just as useful.

Yours & truly

Amanda Painter

P.S. If you love a Pisces, make their day: give the Pisces reading as a gift.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — This week’s astrology is an invitation for you to be unapologetic about who you are. This is no time for obfuscations, half-truths, or compromises. You must be yourself, wholly and gloriously. There will always be people who think it’s cool to act unimpressed, or who confuse self-fulfillment or self-esteem with an ego trip; by now, I am sure you know this is rubbish. Forget what others think. If you’re daring to take meaningful actions in the world, the only opinion that really matters is yours. — by Amy Elliott.
