True Value

Dear Friend and Reader:

As we begin moving onward and outward from today's Leo New Moon, the astrology seems to be setting us up to consider matters of the head and the heart. Where do they intersect, and where do they seem at odds with one another? What can one teach the other, and vice versa?

The centerpiece of the week is the conjunction between the Sun and Mars in Leo, exact Wednesday at 8:57 pm EDT (00:57 UTC Thursday).

This certainly brings the heart into the equation; though it does so in a very expressive Mars style, rather than in the more receptive mode of Venus.

Sun-Mars conjunctions (especially in a sign like Leo) are about getting active to feel good: start a project, especially something you identify with closely, and get creative.

If you're feeling insecure about something, find a constructive outlet (especially anything physical) to help channel those emotions and buffer against recklessness. There is the potential here to get a little caught up in the energy and not notice how much you're putting out there.

If Your Birthday is July 24
(The Day of Exciting Instability) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must give yourself freedom to be yourself. You'll know you're really doing that because you notice the extent to which you've felt hemmed in, and like you cannot really say what's on your mind. Push the edge; stretch your limits; take extra license to be what some might call 'inappropriate', especially if that means gutsy and determined.

Written in the Planets
Mercury enters shadow phase today, which means it's now in the area of the zodiac it will cover again during its retrograde in August. Themes of the next couple weeks or so are likely to turn up again as everything builds to the approaching eclipse. Notice any developments; if possible, keep a record so that you can refer to these events later. If something you're working on appears to slow down or peter out, try to remain patient: our current paradigm of universal immediacy makes the long game unfashionable, and a few weeks seem like months or years; but matters will take their course if you'll only let them.

"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 24, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You must give yourself freedom to be yourself. You'll know you're really doing that because you notice the extent to which you've felt hemmed in, and like you cannot really say what's on your mind. Push the edge; stretch your limits; take extra license to be what some might call 'inappropriate', especially if that means gutsy and determined. You share a birthday with Alice Ball, Amelia Earhart and Summer Glau.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Suddenly planets have entered your fellow fire sign Leo, which is giving you a boost to your confidence and your courage. Run with that, and exploit it for all it's worth. Just remember, the key to success as an Aries is to finish the things you begin. That will take patience and commitment.

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're ready to make big changes at home and with your family. You may have decided it's time to take an entirely new approach to the people you're close to. If you do that, be prepared for some blowback, which you'll need to work through without compromising your position.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- When you actually get into your feelings, you run some risk of experiencing how potent they are. You also might experience resistance or tension as more dramatic. However, if you keep your center, you can use this energy to your benefit. Go toward your feelings rather than away from them.

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) -- Now is the time to invest energy in improving your financial status. Mars and the Sun are working together, and are providing you plenty of motivation to succeed. This is all depending on you feeling good about yourself, who you are and what you do. Keep that a top priority.

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) -- The Sun and Mars in your sign are something of a best-case scenario. Today, they are also joined by the Moon and Mercury. There's a big convention in your sign. What you need to do is to stay cool. Don't rush decisions. Think on things overnight. Drink as much water as you can guzzle.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- If you're dreaming that you can be a person of influence, your dreams are correct. Yet you will need to take steps to fulfill your vision. With you, careful thought must precede action. Give your plan a few days, and remember there's a difference between thinking and overthinking.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You are done trying to be popular -- and you're likely to see how much damage that's done to your confidence. With the Sun and Mars moving through Leo, a sign closely allied to yours, you can afford to be bold and brassy, and not give a toss what others think. Remember: no regrets!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- The Sun and Mars are moving across the mighty midheaven angle of your solar chart. This will increase your visibility, and also your need to be entirely responsible to yourself and your superior officers -- in that order. You must act at all times as if you're the one holding the bag.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may get a glimpse into the future this week, at a problem that may arise later in the summer. If you can spot it, you'll be able to nip it in the bud and not have to deal with it again. You'll recognize it because it seems out of context or out of place within your current life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You still seem to be uncertain what you want, which is why it's so difficult to have. One thing to ask yourself is: are you building your future, or are you still invested in your past? One way to tell is that the future has an unfamiliar, uncertain feeling, while the past seems tidy and secure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When people feel more passionate than you do, that has a way of making you nervous. But you may as well get used to someone feeling passionate about you, whether or not you think you deserve the attention. As long as it's positive and friendly, you are in safe territory.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The emphasis of your life is taking you deeper into work-related activities, though much of it is what you would do for fun anyway. You'll still need to keep some balance in your days. Every day, do something unrelated to a responsibility. Give yourself a moment of pure indulgence.
