Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say
Dear Friend and Reader:
This week's astrology features Mercury and Mars in Cancer making a series of aspects throughout the week. Mercury in Cancer, particularly, can indicate a mind that's very sensitive to others -- to people's moods, to what they say, to what they seem to leave unsaid. Which means that it becomes extra important to say what you mean, and mean what you say.
As Eric suggested in an email about this astrology, "make actual statements of fact. Do not hedge or pussyfoot around the point."
I recognize how incredibly difficult this can be for many people -- especially in person.
Years ago, I remember a college professor of mine pointing out that, more and more, he was hearing students say, "I feel that..." when they were actually trying to express their thoughts about an academic topic, not describe their feelings.
The phrase "I feel that..." seemed to emerge as a way to soften the critical opinion being put forth (critical as in, 'critical thinking'). It was a way for students, particularly young women, to avoid seeming confrontational; it betrayed a lack of confidence in their thought processes and in their right to assert them, by couching everything in 'feelings'.
That was 20 years ago that my professor made that observation, prior to the internet as we know it. In today’s digital environment, it seems the stakes are even higher for speaking up. Saying nothing can seem 'safer' -- though we know silence often comes with dire consequences.

If Your Birthday is June 26
(The Day of Stamina) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today's gleaming aspect between Mars, the planet of desire, and Neptune, the planet of dreams, says that this is the year you can make progress aspiring to what you want the very most. This will not happen by magic; you must still be the dreamer and the one who acts upon your passions. Yet many previous obstacles are out of the way.
Written in the Planets
Aspects involving the inner planets speak of ethical behavior in relationships. Especially with Neptune in a potent situation just now, it's crucial to practice accuracy and honesty (more detail in the featured piece above). Other possible helps may include offering trust, holding space for one another, or simply keeping to high standards in terms of mutual respect, compassion and generosity of spirit. Do this as an act of devotion to your dharma.
Astrology can help you. In the right hands, astrology can provide you with a new perspective on your life. My readings are designed to help you consider all of your possibilities, your greatest potential, and to help you see your problems in a new light. I'm about to record the Cancer reading for you. If you order now, you'll get the best pre-order price of $33. Shortly before publication, it'll be $44 and then the final price will be $55. These readings condense 22 years of my counseling experience, nonstop reflection on the human condition and lots of excellent astrology. They are in plain talk, easy to follow, and paced gently. They are some of my best work; these readings are an invention. And you can have all the benefits. I plan to do this reading next week -- earlier than usual, so get on board before the next two price increases. Here's how to pre-order. If you're seeking a private consultation, here's that link.
Daily Horoscope for June 26, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Today's gleaming aspect between Mars, the planet of desire, and Neptune, the planet of dreams, says that this is the year you can make progress aspiring to what you want the very most. This will not happen by magic; you must still be the dreamer and the one who acts upon your passions. Yet many previous obstacles are out of the way. You share a birthday with Charles Messier, Patty Smyth and Ariana Grande.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Your intuition will be working beautifully today, if you stay in touch with your body. Your mind is probably chattering away, giving you all kinds of supposed information. Your body and feelings are telling you something else, and if you slow down and pay attention, you'll get remarkably specific information.
|
|
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You don't need to give up anything in order to be yourself. It's not helpful to be less intense, or less honest or real or sexual -- less anything -- so people can appreciate you for who you are. Rather than sacrifice anything, emphasize what you love the most, summon all your courage and live that fully. |
|
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- More important than succeeding financially is living in a way that's meaningful and that honors your ethics. Anything else is empty, and cannot truly be called success. Rather than sell out, you want to buy into what matters the most to you. That means investing yourself in what you care about. |
The Gemini birthday reading has just been recorded. Get it while it's hot! Order here to get instant access, whether for yourself or the Gemini you love.
|
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You have a business opportunity where you discover a point of disagreement, but keep the discussion friendly. People like to pretend that they're all about their financial integrity, when it turns out they don't pay the electric bill, they only pay the shut-off notice. We can all do better. |
|
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You want to know the truth, and that's different from making up a story. There's only one way to know, which is to find out. This is no longer about your intuition, your imagination or your desires; you need to ask the right questions, and pause, and listen long enough to get some answers. |
|
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- We live in a world where reputations burn like tissue paper, and where they seem barely that substantial the rest of the time. You, however, must guard the gains you've made where the respect of your community is concerned. That means using your influence mindfully, rather than backing down. |
|
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You prefer to be cool and mild-mannered, rather than getting too much useless attention. However, you're unusually visible right now, your words have unusual power, and at the moment, you run the risk of overreacting at just the wrong time. Be impeccable with your speech and your actions. |
|
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You're aspiring to great things, though it's essential that you go one step at a time. Have a vision for where you want to be; know what direction you're heading; and take the time to initiate and complete each phase of your work with mindfulness and sincerity. This includes treating people as your equals. |
|
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- No solutions to financial quandaries can be found in passion or pathos. Indeed, if there's an issue, it's likely to reside on the emotional level, and will benefit from a calm, clear discussion of the solution. Once you have that going, the whole situation can be turned to your advantage. |
|
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Keep an eye on a developing situation, and check in with the parties involved. As well, keep your ear to the ground for rumors, but don't believe them; chances are, they're wrong. Still, they can have an influence, and your job is to help mitigate that. The truth is all that matters. |
|
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Remember that your primary role in your workplace is to take care of your community. Yes, you have a job to do, though on a deeper level; as an Aquarian, your mind is on the level of the group. Right now, there's the potential for some serious drama; don't feed it. Keep the peace. |
|
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're hot on the trail of an idea you want to express. Don't try to plot its course. It has a life of its own, which is living through you. Stand back and allow this experience to unfold. The same would apply to a relationship or tryst. Let it be what it is; leave the future unwritten. |
