Aries (March 20-April 19) — Most of the human race is having an identity crisis right now, linked to the disruption that’s taking place all around us. It’s not easy, in these circumstances, to focus on living productively or to find a guidance system you can hold to firmly amid the ever-changing face of the world. Yet it can be done, if you only look within. The golden thread of integrity is there, and all the rulebooks ever written can’t replace it. More than ever, the wisdom of your inner compass is crucial. Do what you can to keep it within reach. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — When we form strong and loving connections with other people, they do wonders for our deep healing. You might see Jupiter’s station retrograde in your opposite sign as a gift that allows you to take in the warmth of companionship and let it fill you up. This is an active process, however; among other things, it requires that you place trust in what you’re offered, and that you communicate your needs clearly. Perhaps even more importantly, don’t forget to return the favor or pass it on. Love shared is love multiplied. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Over the past few months, you’ve perhaps learned to consider the details of your daily life more in terms of the bigger picture. Astrology connects our regular routines with the concept of service. What you may find in the coming season is a more accurate sense of your calling, made clearer by recent experiences and changes. What you offer to the world is intimately connected with who you are, and with that unique gift which you, and only you, possess. When you’re doing that every day, it won’t feel nearly so much like work. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — What ultimately underpins your success? This question might absorb at least some of your attention as Jupiter turns retrograde in your solar 5th house. This is the house of creativity and art, and everything that means; particularly with Scorpio there, with its connection to the deeper concepts of life, it is also incredibly profound. What this adds up to is an understanding that you cannot and must not compromise on how you spend your energy. You need the freedom to be yourself as a foundation. Be discerning. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You need to recognize that you are a complex being, full of intricate and occasionally even contradictory qualities, like a puzzle. If something is holding you back from pursuing your aspirations, chances are you’ll find the root cause, or at least a clue, by digging around in the past — which is not the same as getting lost there; it’s about knowledge and perspective. Becoming who you want to be often just means accepting and seeing who you are, which can actually strengthen your ability to deal with any underlying issues. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Many natives of your sign are used to the idea of working behind the scenes, preferably as quietly and anonymously as possible. There is a certain safety in being useful to someone else. Unfortunately — or perhaps fortunately — this is no longer enough. Recent events have coaxed you out of your shell, if only just a little; absorbing the lessons of those experiences will surely help draw you out further. It’s time to do precisely that, and take the risk of speaking in your own voice. It’s not nearly as risky as you think. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — You may be getting a fresh perspective on partnerships of all kinds; in particular regarding what can reasonably be expected, of you and of your loved ones. Self-esteem and holding to one’s values are keys here. A healthy relationship with yourself is the best way to make sure you’re independent of others, and that those others cannot overwhelm you with needs or demands. Too often we develop ways of interacting based on expectations and scripts. Resolve instead to proceed based on what is indubitably real. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Jupiter in your sign is changing direction. That presents you with an opportunity to review the past few months and consider how the big planet’s presence has influenced your life so far. In particular, whether it’s helped you to express yourself more clearly and honestly, in the service of taking up your life mission. This would seem to be a developing theme over the next few weeks. It would probably be especially useful for you to spend some time figuring out what you’re not saying, and why. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Sagittarius is portrayed in popular tropes as a rather flighty and reckless sign, though naturally this is a misunderstanding. It’s just that early on you discovered the secret of being true to yourself and honest with others, which is really a deeply responsible way to live. Besides, what you’ve dealt with in the recent past has given you enough extra, added maturity that, emotionally speaking, you could lift a car. It would probably do you good to recognize this, and to give yourself all due credit. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — When trying to process a challenging experience, whether from the distant past or more recent, there can be a temptation to close yourself off. You might even let resentment bottle up until you find yourself lashing out, which doesn’t help anyone involved. There is a different way: you can open up, be vulnerable and trust those who love you best. That way also nourishes and broadens your sense of compassion and community. In the present environment we must do all we can to forge and strengthen human bonds. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The last few months appear to have been something of a game-changer in terms of how you view your career or social standing. Potentially one specific issue may have rubbed you the wrong way, causing you to feel somewhat held back or disappointed. In the course of the next several weeks, you’ll almost certainly come to regard these events in an entirely different light. When the full pattern is revealed, what perhaps seems frustrating now will probably make a lot more sense by the time the solstice arrives. — by Amy Elliott.

Pisces Birthday Reading is Available for Instant Access

Dear Fellow Pisces, Pisces Rising or Pisces Lover:

Last week was crazy busy — finishing The Art of Becoming, keeping up with horoscopes and playing investigative reporter — but I just had to do the Pisces birthday reading in time for the Virgo Full Moon.

You can still get instant access to this reading at just $44; the final price will be $66.

My job is to provide encouragement, reassurance, and actual information about your transits. I do my best to provide just that.

This is a mellow but detailed reading, which starts with a long discussion of relationships and the need to be discerning. This is directly related to claiming your full value in the world, and feeling good about yourself: what some call self-esteem.

I expound on two different interpretations of the Virgo Full Moon — one based on my own writeup in the Daily News, and for contrast, the other based on Sally Brompton’s interpretation in The New York Post.

From there, I talk about the ingress of planets from water sign Pisces to fire sign Aries, which in the coming days will include Mercury and Venus, then Chiron.
In the second segment I talk mainly about career, profession and community involvement — this is a discussion of Saturn moving from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

There is plenty more. You can get a personal reading from me lasting 75 minutes for $555 — or a reading I would be very happy to get, 75 minutes for $44. Get instant access now.

Thank you for your business, and for trusting me as your astrologer.

With love,

P.S. The Art of Becoming is now ready. This reading is a very detailed report on Chiron moving from Pisces to Aries, among other things. You can get individual signs here.

P.P.S. You may access last year’s Pisces birthday reading here at no cost.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — The period since your traditional ruler Jupiter entered your 9th house has been a sort of living experiment in how much you can achieve, and how much progress you can make, in a really short space of time. For you, this retrograde phase is unlikely to be merely about reflection and review. It’s far more probable that you’re being called to shift gears, and to spend more time getting your message disseminated on a wider scale. To put it another way, it seems you need to get some practice in being utterly and delightfully shameless. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
