Aries (March 20-April 19) — Over the past few months, you’ve made some significant discoveries about your role and identity as part of society, and as a unique being. As the zodiacal emphasis now shifts to the zone of your one-to-one relationships, you can apply this new information in that realm also. Even in romantic partnerships where we’re encouraged to merge ourselves with the other, it’s becoming clearer to you that you’re nevertheless a whole person in your own right, and with no missing parts.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — In the age of indifference, rudeness and lack of compassion, you have the power to remind people, through your actions, what considerate behavior looks like. This is less about superficial manners — though politeness is an art that’s getting lost amid all the trolling — and more about empathy, and caring for those who are struggling. One important thing to remember is that just about everyone is struggling these days, yet most seem to have limits to their kindness. Make a point of having no exceptions to yours.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — The Sun and Mercury are entering your 5th house of creativity and pleasure, in a powerful opposition to Chiron. During the next few weeks, it would be worth making a point of visiting some of your favorite places and people, and of enjoying those moments. Indulge your love of life, for its own sake. If you produce art of any kind, keep your creative tools with you and take as many opportunities as you can to work on your projects. Any and all of this can result in profound healing and growth.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Brains can be tricky old things, and sometimes events can have an impact on them via a rather circuitous route. That said, with effort it’s usually possible to trace the steps. In understanding how recent experiences may have played out for you, there’s likely benefit in following this trail carefully. Notice what factors might lead to similar responses, and what you’re extrapolating from the event. The result you’re going for is a deeper and more thorough understanding of how your mind operates; this would perhaps help you change anything that doesn’t quite work for you.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You have something beautiful to say, and as of this week you have the floor; or rather the stage. If you feel a bit rusty and need to get some practice in, grab yourself a blank notebook and write about anything that comes to your mind. Don’t worry if it sounds nonsensical to you; perfect first drafts are extremely rare, which is why editors exist. One thing that helps is if you write what you know; another, if you write on what you care most about. Passion infuses just about anything with light and color.Get your full reading here.

Part of this relates to your most strongly held values, and how they inform your character. You’ll likely be required either to stand by them, or to review them. Just remember that you’re the only person who can really know what’s best in your own life. You can also, at least in this instance, choose a path that’s a win-win for everyone involved.

Dear Friend and Reader:

This rare retrograde phase will be just one of the factors in your solar year that Eric will discuss in your 2018-19 Libra Astrology Studio (formerly known as the Birthday Reading).
Eric’s readings are consistently reliable, high-quality sources of knowledge that you can draw on repeatedly for guidance, delivered in a friendly, accessible manner. Eric uses his 20-plus years of astrological wisdom to get right to the heart of what’s important to you.
“As always, your reading is spot on and validates what I am experiencing in life at this time. The sheer acknowledgment that as a Libra I need balance, beauty and aesthetics in my life to make me tick on was just what I needed to keep going.”
— Ginger Aarons, on an earlier Libra reading
The Astrology Studio reading consists of two audio astrology sessions of 30 minutes or more, an audio Tarot reading of 30 minutes or more (the Tarot Studio), your extended sign description and links to other resources. It’s the perfect primer for your 2018-19 solar year and beyond, and makes an excellent and unique gift — whether for yourself or for the Libra you love.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — You are capable of a powerful love that can spread into the wide corners of the universe. Indeed, you know — perhaps better than anyone else you know — what it means to love universally; if owing to nothing more than your innate sense of fairness and justice. The world could use some more open hearts right now; it’s necessary somehow to buck the rather dangerous trend of feeling ‘these people are mine, and I will care for them; these are not, and I will ignore them’. Ultimately, we are all children of the same Earth. Get your full reading here.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — It’s not been long since your classical ruler Mars stationed direct; your modern ruler Pluto will soon follow suit, while Venus is preparing to turn retrograde in your sign. This is likely to be a potent time for you, and it’s possible you’re processing some strong emotional material, mainly through the more instinctual channels. Your intuition will probably be very finely honed, so keep an eye out for any messages it might be sending you, including through dreams. Taking time for reflection may also prove useful.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Part of the reason why so much feels uncertain right now is that we’re collectively exploring new territory in terms of social codes of conduct. This isn’t necessarily just about etiquette — such as when it’s okay to use your smartphone in public — but covers the wider issue of basic respect, and our duty to one another as humans. Your ability to take a broad view may stand you in good stead here. If you should have specific ideas in this field, by all means share them. We could use some guidance. Get your full reading here.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — There is a tendency to consider any relationship involving some kind of power imbalance as negating any requirement for civility, compassion or due consideration of the other party as a human person. This seems to be true whether one possesses more or less power in the exchange. Try to emphasize, in your interactions, what you share in common with others rather than your differences; and remember that you are equally complex, unique creatures. Be prepared to bring kindness and respect to the table first. Get your full reading here.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The Sun entering your fellow air sign Libra this week provides you a path to restoring your sense of trust — both in your fellow humans and in the benignity of the cosmos. This is difficult for many of us right now, and it’s tempting if you feel like you’ve been through the wringer lately to respond by closing off. Yet while this can be a useful way of coping through stress, it is no more helpful on a permanent basis than cortisol is for the brain. Let yourself receive the love and gentleness that’s offered to you. Get your full reading here.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Holistic philosophy bears some resemblance to astrology, as both consider the various elements of a person as interdependent rather than operating separately. Whatever might be challenging you right now, especially if it has an emotional component, would probably benefit from a holistic approach; by giving care or relief to your body, mind, heart and spirit. As part of this, make sure you treat yourself with the respect and love you afford others; at least that, and for now make your wellbeing your first priority. Get your full reading here.
