This Week's Horoscope for Cancer by Eric Francis Coppolino

Stay in contact with your desire. Try to go to the most sincere level you can; that is, not influenced by advertising, trends or what your friends are up to. Connect with what you actually want, however you may feel about it, whether or not you think it's appropriate. This will be a sweet spot of aligning with yourself. Particularly if you're judging what you want, whether you think it's too expensive or like someone might judge you, stick with yourself. You have a discovery ahead of you; a mystery will unravel. Be patient, and allow yourself to be instructed by your circumstances rather than by opinions or supposedly spiritual values. This process will likely include a point of contact in the sexual realm; you know intuitively and from much experience that the truth contains a wholesome streak of erotic feeling.

If Your Birthday is July 18
(The Day of Conviction) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You'll need to be flexible about evolving or developing your plans. Said another way: keep an open mind about your future, and let yourself be spontaneous. Life is unpredictable these days; it always was, though lately it's off the charts. So you need a balance between being ready to make decisions, while at the same time focusing on a tangible goal.

Written in the Planets
If something unexpected rattled you in the last couple days or so, today offers space for healing it, thanks to Mars in Cancer making a trine to Chiron on Pisces. In other words, this process is not about forgetting or ignoring what happened; it's about making some progress in integrating what you've learned for lasting benefit. A trine between Venus in Gemini and Jupiter in Libra blows gentle breezes in a favorable direction. If you're not entirely sure how you feel (Neptune is still influencing Venus), articulating your thoughts and emotions verbally might help you find a path to clarity -- though this could take a little time.

I've now completed your Cancer reading, which is infused with the energy of the recent Full Moon conjunct Pluto. I describe this in detail, taking it back to the beginning of Pluto in Capricorn.

As the reading developed organically, it built up an intensity I was not expecting, ultimately describing the relationship between you and the very wide world that surrounds you. The reading consists of two 35-minute downloadable sessions. They can also be played on any device, or added to iTunes.

The reading is now available at the published price of $55. You will get instant access. This reading will be followed by a tarot card segment sometime in the next week to month.

Here is an audio sample.

Thank you for trusting me as your astrologer.

lovingly,

"Eric, I enjoyed the depth and strength of the Cancer reading. How apropos to do it so close to the moment of the Capricorn Full Moon, Sun in Cancer, moment. I felt deeply connected to much of the reading, both the current moment (turning point), and the historical energy (Pluto in Capricorn). Indeed it has been an intense and deeply revealing time in my relationship life. Thanks for your depth psychology and therapy references, they resonate with me, and speak to the foundational level work I've been doing in therapy this past year."

Daily Horoscope for July 18, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You'll need to be flexible about evolving or developing your plans. Said another way: keep an open mind about your future, and let yourself be spontaneous. Life is unpredictable these days; it always was, though lately it's off the charts. So you need a balance between being ready to make decisions, while at the same time focusing on a tangible goal. You share a birthday with Nelson Mandela, Vin Diesel and Elizabeth Gilbert.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take an inventive approach to solving a family or household problem. Suggest something that has never been done, or that shifts the flow of events. The same old emotional patterns are leading you nowhere, and you need a fresh and open-minded way to see the situation. Be bold and experimental.

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) -- You are gradually finding your voice. Sometimes it's necessary to say what is not true, and hear how it sounds, before you're ready to say what is true. Today and for the next few days, you may come out with some things that really surprise you. Don't doubt yourself. Rather, listen to yourself.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- It'll take a few days to figure out how you really feel. Don't be surprised if you change your opinion a few times. Today you might think everything is wonderful and will work out for the best; other days, you might take a darker view. Day by day, you will gain a real understanding.

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) -- You must guide your life carefully over the next few days. There are going to be some unexpected turns in the road, though if you're conscious and make your decisions one at a time, you can shift nearly anything to your advantage. Sometimes the best path to success is indirect.

Eric has just recorded your 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading. The price will soon increase again, so be sure to order your copy before that happens. Eric's birthday readings are accurate, friendly and long-lasting, and they make the perfect gift.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Don't let any anxiety get to you. Your solar chart says you're dealing with all sorts of seeming unknowns. Yet your mind may also be playing tricks with you. Remember that just because you experience fear, that doesn't make something true. Usually, fear is about what's false or irrelevant.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Your birth sign is the one that's associated with selfless service. Many people would claim there is no such thing, but how would they know? Yet you have a special challenge: to serve others without doing a disservice to yourself.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- There are moments when potential opens like a spigot and floods your reality: today, for instance. Refuse to accept the things about your life that you don't like, and be open to the chance that much better things are possible. Take this rare opportunity and make at least one of them real.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Are you wrestling with an ethical or spiritual issue? It would seem so; in a way that few would suspect, you're not letting yourself off the hook about something. If you feel you must make amends, then reach out and do it. If you feel you must learn something, take the lesson and move on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You've had enough of the emotional thing for a while; as a Sagittarius, you are sensitive, but you don't like to make a point of emoting or being too sappy. You'll do it to please a partner, though it's time they get on your wavelength and dance with destiny in that way you do so well.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You know it's time to take more initiative in a relationship. You cannot always let others lead the way, or set the terms of collaboration. Yet to assert your will seems to be demanding audacity you're not sure that you have. However, there's no actual doubt that you can pluck up some courage.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Life has been teasing you with possibilities and the hope that things will get better. You know how hard you've worked to have a solid and stable existence. It would help if you didn't try so hard. The next few days will bring many unusual developments. You don't need to push.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Over the next handful of days, Mars and the Sun move from your fellow water sign Cancer into fire sign Leo. You have been learning, exploring and stretching into your confidence in many new ways. Now is the time to make those things a habit. Pour your vitality into what you love the most.
