"Thoughts have some characteristics of fancy, of freedom, even of unreality, which are wanting to the prosaicness of heavy material things. Thoughts sport with the relations of time and space; they fly in a moment across the gulf between the most distant objects; they travel back up the course of time; they bring near to us events centuries away; they conceive objects which are unreal; they imagine combinations which upset all physical laws, and, further, these conceptions remain invisible to others as well as to ourselves. They are outside the grip of reality, and constitute a world which becomes, for any one with the smallest imagination, as great and as important as the world called real. One may call in evidence the poets, novelists, artists, and the dreamers of all kinds."
-- Alfred Binet

Archive Horoscope for Capricorn from July 2012 by Eric Francis

There's no debate that people are free: both you and the people close to you. This is true no matter how trapped anyone may feel, by whatever they think is trapping them. I suggest you take some time over the next few weeks and consider the agreements you have with others, or what Carolyn Myss calls 'sacred contracts'. Those are all up for review now, which does not mean cancellation but rather a clear evaluation. Consider the commitments you have to others, the commitments they have to you, and where these promises intersect with your life path. You need to ask some basic questions, such as, does this agreement serve to benefit everyone involved? Under what circumstances was the agreement made? What was its purpose and does your arrangement still serve that purpose now? This is an approximately one-month review phase, so you actually have time to think -- and to feel -- your way through the questions.

If Your Birthday is July 8
(The Day of the Dark Pragmatist) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Follow protocols in professional matters, such as treating people with a level of respect more suited to 1960 than it is to 2017. An old-school approach will get you further than our contemporary casual way of doing things. Dress appropriately, arrive for meetings early, and speak the Queen's English. This will serve your personal relationships as well.

Written in the Planets
Tonight into early tomorrow is the Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto. Pluto is known as the Lord of Change. The very concept of 'change' stirs up a lot of emotion in people: some feel energized by it; others fear it at almost every turn. With the Moon involved, and the Sun in Cancer (ruled by the Moon), emotions are doubly emphasized. So pay attention to yours. Notice whether any intensity or tension you're feeling relates to your environment (such as the actions or emotions of another person); then ask whether you're actually tapping into some deeply internal holdover from your own childhood. And remember: if 'change' is being reflected back at you in the form of another person changing, that's not your cue to feel threatened and try to control them or get defensive. It's a reminder to tend to your own emotional growth.

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 July 8, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Follow protocols in professional matters, such as treating people with a level of respect more suited to 1960 than it is to 2017. An old-school approach will get you further than our contemporary casual way of doing things. Dress appropriately, arrive for meetings early, and speak the Queen's English. This will serve your personal relationships as well. You share a birthday with Anjelica Huston, Kevin Bacon and Louis Jordan.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Don't let commitments to others get in the way of promises you've made to yourself. It's all too easy to do this: to allow your responsibilities to family or profession to eclipse your basic human needs, especially for fun and adventure. People can survive without you for a day or two.

You can now pre-order all 12 signs of the new Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, In the Shadow of the Moon, for the introductory price of just $66. Just in time for the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017, Eric will record a helpful, top-quality video reading. Get your copy today.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- In claiming your power, you must learn to say the word "you." To do that, you have to come out of yourself and enter the world relationally. You must admit the existence of others, which confirms your own existence and gets other people to notice you. Get past that bit being scary.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You must get past doing things for appearances. That's a diversion from the actual substance of life, when you need the real thing. Be mindful of any time you're trying to impress someone with your image. This is directly at cross-purposes to what you want to achieve.

The astrology section of the Gemini birthday reading has been recorded, and the Tarot reading will follow soon. Order here to get instant access, whether for yourself or the Gemini you love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Use elegance of speech to make your point. Be good for your word; for those born under the sign Cancer, your word truly is your bond. Make only promises you can keep and, when called upon, keep any promises that you've already made, even if it's inconvenient or costs money.

Your 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading is now available to pre-order at the earliest price. Eric intends to record this reading soon, so be sure to pre-order today before the price increases. Eric's birthday readings are accurate, friendly and long-lasting, and they make the perfect gift.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Today's astrology is perfect for getting some solid work done. Take on the most challenging tasks today, the ones that will benefit from not being distracted by colleagues or employees. You might accomplish a week's productivity with a day of effort. Then go out and blow off some steam.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Summon your political skill today and you'll be able to negotiate anything. Political skill means understanding both the formal social order (official position) and the informal one (who has social standing or sway) and working with both. It also means knowing what you want.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You possess the alchemy between spirit and sex. You always do, though it's particularly accessible right now. One problem, however, is that both of these topics are usually glossed over. They insist on treatment with depth and sincerity, and approaching them will guide you there.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You have a relationship to yourself, which is similar to a marriage. In fact, it's even more intense because you cannot leave yourself. You cannot separate from yourself and you cannot take a day away from yourself. You're now being called to renew and deepen that commitment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- The fear of being alone, for an hour, a day or a lifetime, is driving many to a dangerous mental brink. You're being called to turn your attention inward, and to think and feel your true existence. You need no palliatives. You need to dive inside yourself and listen to your soul.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You are shaped by your environment, and you are learning to shape your environment. Between one and the other, you must develop keen senses and astute powers of inner observation. You will need these today and tomorrow, as the Capricorn Full Moon approaches.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This weekend's Full Moon takes place in the most sensitive angle of your chart. It's called the 12th house, where all kinds of old karma is stored. So don't be surprised if some of it spills into your awareness. Much will involve family. Here's a mantra: I am not a child any more.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Tomorrow's Capricorn Full Moon takes place in a visible angle of your chart, and eyes will be on you. The planets counsel that you maintain your dignity, dress appropriately, and conduct yourself professionally. Be reserved and well-spoken, and keep a modest sense of humor at all times.
