"In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well oiled in the closet, but unused."
-- Ernest Hemingway

Chiron: Key to The Gemstone File

Dear Friend and Reader:

Maybe it was the rare-to-find Orange Toastees, or maybe it was the world-famous date nut bread. Howard Johnson's in Arlington, Virginia, might have seemed like an odd place for a conclave of the captains of industry and the stewards of government, though that's where it happened.

From the transcript alone, you would probably never know the apocalyptic, species-threatening nature of the meeting, nor from the location, or the tone of the conversation. From the stenographic word-for-word account that somehow emerged, it seems as if spoken in whispers.

It's a panel discussion, with microphones at the dais, presumably in a motel's conference room, away from government property. No reporters were present; none know about it, or they surely would have been there.

Participants include government environmental regulators from the US and Canada whose names we know, along with their clearly identified lawyers and consultants.

Then there are a bunch of anonymous chemical industry representatives, all of whom manufacture pesticides and herbicides. They are each referred to as "A Voice." Their names are lost, assuming they were ever recorded.

It was a tight bunch; it's probable that anyone at the meeting could have recited the names of all the others. These are people who knew one another well and who did business together all the time, like the neighborhood business association of supertoxins manufacturers.

Someone in the room, whose role is unclear, was named Diane, an echo of the mystery secretary in Twin Peaks. We may assume the only other woman present was the stenographer, Elizabeth Ann Tipton.

If Your Birthday is July 21
(The Day of Tragicomic Controversy) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Are you happy with your position in life? Do you get the respect you deserve? You need to set the example for the world, placing self-respect as your top-level priority. This is not about egotism or how important you are. You need a calm, quiet understanding that you belong on the planet and have a role to fulfill. This is about service more than achievement.

Written in the Planets
With the Cancer Sun making a trine to Chiron in Pisces today, you have a beautiful opportunity. Chances are, something popped into your awareness this week that might have been a little challenging, disruptive or downright explosive. If so, it may point to something you can understand better, and even heal. What's really been bothering you? Be prepared to look beyond superficial or current irritants. The better you understand the roots of your emotions, the less scary they'll be.

"Ah Eric -- just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of."
-- Liz Glanville

This is a seminal year for Leo Sun, rising and Moon, with two New Moons in your sign, the second one a potent solar eclipse. All the more reason to take hold of the reins and steer this dynamic energy in the direction that works for you.

Your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric Francis will be exactly the support you need to navigate through these exciting transits. It's now available for pre-order at the lowest price of just $33, so be sure to grab a copy -- whether for yourself or the Leo you love -- before that increases.

"Thanks for reassuring this Leo, who is having a year 'for the books'! You get to the core of things."
-- Barbara Peaslee, on a previous Leo reading

Daily Horoscope for July 21, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Are you happy with your position in life? Do you get the respect you deserve? You need to set the example for the world, placing self-respect as your top-level priority. This is not about egotism or how important you are. You need a calm, quiet understanding that you belong on the planet and have a role to fulfill. This is about service more than achievement. You share a birthday with Robin Williams, Sarah Waters and Romeo Santos.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You have the power to free yourself from an emotional entanglement that has seemed persistent and difficult to define. The moment you figure out what it's about, you'll be liberated, and you'll know what additional steps you'll need to take in order to heal yourself and be shorn of the past.

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 will be evaluated on the quality of your speech and of your writing. As informal as the world may seem, those with any power or influence are concerned with the words that people use, and their ability to be sincere. Come from your heart, and present yourself consciously and carefully.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You're working with information that you didn't expect to have. This puts you at a distinct advantage, but only if you're careful about using what you know. Mostly, you've got the opportunity to follow the trail and learn even more. Proceed carefully, take one step at a time, and keep mum.

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 have access to wisdom that's coming from an unusual place; one could say that you've tapped a spiritual source. Yet this is subtle, and it will be easy to overlook, and equally easy to forget, even if you hear it. So you will need to listen carefully, and filter out negative inputs.

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) -- There are those times when something seems to be missing, like a nutrient in one's diet. This is why it's important to follow your cravings, and to get the messages of your dreams. Your body is telling you that you need something. With a little reflection, you'll figure out what it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Take the opportunity to advocate for someone who needs help or support. You might help them directly, or you might take up their cause in some way. This could include introducing them to someone you know who you're confident can and will help. Spread the positive vibes. Weave your community.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Your true profession involves being directly supportive of people, whatever the task at hand. This counts if you're CEO of a car company, if you install cable TV, or if you teach sanitation workers how to do their jobs in south Brooklyn. Whatever you may do, offer the world your total support.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You have a brilliant idea brewing, though you haven't quite put it into words yet. Feel the beauty of a concept about to be born. Trust that your mind is creative and that it's leading you in the right direction. Have confidence that what you want for yourself is also good for the world.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You don't need to cling to anyone, nor they to you. Yet you'll benefit immensely from taking the approach that relationships are for nourishment, so let's get the food on the stove. And for that matter, change the sheets and get ready to have some fun. Life is for living, not worrying about what's next.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- When a relationship is right, it will feel good. There won't be a sense of strain or urgency. You will feel a sense of ease from the first moments of your encounter, a feeling of exchange and a sense of humor. Ask yourself which circumstances in your life match this description, and which do not.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Sometimes all of your effort put into one direction gets a result entirely different from what you were expecting. And sometimes that's just the right thing. It would seem that you were working for one result though what actually manifests will teach you to set your sights even higher next time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Too often, healing is associated with a massage table, an operating table or a therapy chair. For you right now, healing is about letting your ideas and your love flow through you and into your work. Your charts are calling to your artistic, musical, poetic and erotic nature. Carpe diem.
