If Your Birthday is July 26
(The Day of the Symbolic Herald) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A Mars-Sun meeting on your birthday reveals that you are in rare form and ready to conquer the world. Remember, though, that discretion is the better part of valor. Fortunately, your solar chart describes you as thoughtful and careful in your planning, and sensitive to all sides of any issue. Those will be assets worth keeping at the ready. You will need them.

Written in the Planets
Today's Sun-Mars conjunction in Leo is all about energy; so get active to feel good. The more physical, constructive, creative and personally rewarding your task or goal, the better. That said, if you're harboring doubts, fears or insecurities of some sort (especially related to what you desire or to your self-image), you could find all this energy challenging to handle productively. That doesn't mean it's impossible; it just means you might want to start with manageable and very clearly defined tasks first, or enlist a friend to act as a sounding board. However you're feeling, keep in mind that Venus in Gemini opposes Ixion in Sagittarius today. Anyone is capable of anything -- including behaving unethically, and that includes you. Keep your Sun-Mars vigor on the right side of the tracks, no matter how many sides of the story feel valid.

"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 26, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

A Mars-Sun meeting on your birthday reveals that you are in rare form and ready to conquer the world. Remember, though, that discretion is the better part of valor. Fortunately, your solar chart describes you as thoughtful and careful in your planning, and sensitive to all sides of any issue. Those will be assets worth keeping at the ready. You will need them. You share a birthday with Carl Jung, Helen Mirren and Mick Jagger.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You have excellent ideas, and you're ready to act on them. However, you would be wise to do this within your means. If you're going to spend money on your projects, do so wisely and consciously. You definitely need a budget, and you need to use that budget well. That will lead to better work.

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) -- Get a clue where you stand financially. This may not be easy; you may need to do some sorting out, though it will be worth it. Your money is an important aspect of your power, and you must know where you stand. If you get your analysis down to two competing stories, you're doing well.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You're somehow a lot smarter than you were yesterday. Isn't life wonderful? It's a nonstop learning experience for those who know they are students of existence. That's the approach to take for the foreseeable future. Your charts are brilliant at the moment and, fortunately, so are you.

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) -- Mercury, the planet of mind and concepts, has moved into one of the most productive angles of your solar chart. When it comes to words, ideas and technology, you will be at your best. Take on the biggest projects first, and don't let the small ones bog you down. Whip through them.

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) -- For the next 48 hours, the Sun and Mars form an exact conjunction in your sign -- a rare event for you. This alone is enough to give you solid energy for the next 12 months. Yet in order to have the benefits of this, you must trust yourself. Like playing the piano, that takes daily practice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Mercury, the official Virgo planet, enters your sign today. Remember all that you've considered, discovered and affirmed over the past few days. Remember who you are when you're absolutely real, and bring that person into every conversation. Be yourself and nobody else -- and you will succeed.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You can trust that you've done your homework on the ethical question you've been pondering; you know the difference between right and wrong. More significantly, this distinction actually matters to you. You can synthesize the correct attributes of each side of the story. Use that skill boldly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Once you are confident what's happening, you can make any decision you need to make. You might still be hesitating, or feeling over-cautious. If that's true, then take your time, one day at a time. You don't need to delay, but you do need to be thorough and contemplative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may have to gently persuade partners or colleagues to take a more broad-minded view of a situation where you have ultimate responsibility. That you, in the end, are holding the bag is the important thing; try to figure out where they're coming from. That will make it an easier conversation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You know what's right and what's wrong. It should not take that much thought. At the same time, the correct choice comes with a feeling of ease, rather than anxiety, guilt or worry in any form. If you find yourself overthinking things, you've likely missed something simple.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If there seems to be a sticking point in a financial relationship, try ignoring it for a few days. When you come back to it later in the week or over the weekend, you may find that it no longer exists. Much more beautiful and exciting things are happening in your relationships.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep a pulse on what others are thinking and feeling, particularly if you disagree with them. You don't need to push back, or to prove anything. You merely need to listen, be aware, and then do what you know is right. Be the committee of one who gets things done.
