August Monthly Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino

Once again, one of the outstanding astrological events of our lifetimes occurs in your sign. That would be the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017. There's a precedent for this: the total solar eclipse of Aug. 11, 1999. Consider what you were doing that summer, and what you were doing for the next three or so years. When you think of 1999 as a 'before and after' moment, what do you get? You are now standing at the threshold of another such moment. What you've lived through the past several years is the 'before'; the moment you're in is like a dimensional gate; and the future is unwritten. Take the time and the care to point your life in the direction that you want to go. This need not take longer than a few moments, though deep meditation and grounded decisions usually require more investment of thought. Remove the no-longer-valid priorities from your agenda; decide what no longer serves you. Then, search your soul and remind yourself what you simply must do. Be exceedingly honest with yourself about this, and don't be distracted by whether you think something is or is not possible. You might know what this agenda is without even thinking about it. Use the power of your mind and point your existence in that direction. Then, steady as she goes.

If Your Birthday is July 29
(The Day of Cultural Assessment) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As the year progresses, you will come into your own. This may not happen today or tomorrow, though all the signs are there. Don't be daunted by the insecurities of others. You must use any friction as a source of power. If you find yourself in a conflict, use it as a way to map out where people are coming from, and get the upper hand.

Written in the Planets
As Venus nears its square to Chiron (exact Sunday), it occupies a particularly potent, and possibly volatile, degree: 28+ Gemini. You might want to notice whether any of your emotions or thoughts -- or your reactions to what you're being asked to 'receive' -- are threatening to outpace your core values. The level of personality has a way of buffeting us when we stay at a surface level; if you're feeling stress, Chiron in Pisces seems to suggest that diving to deeper water might take you beneath the layer where the wind whips up the waves. If it feels more like immersion into a new level of understanding rather than evasion, you know you're on the right track.

"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 29, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

As the year progresses, you will come into your own. This may not happen today or tomorrow, though all the signs are there. Don't be daunted by the insecurities of others. You must use any friction as a source of power. If you find yourself in a conflict, use it as a way to map out where people are coming from, and get the upper hand. You share a birthday with Ken Burns, Monica Calhoun and Wil Wheaton.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You have a greater influence on others than you may imagine. Your personality can shock them out of their supposedly safe zone in a rather pleasant way. People need this desperately nowadays, and all it really means is you being your fiery, friendly, unpredictable self. Let the good vibes roll.

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 must rule your own roost. If you live or share space with others, they will need to give you some space to do that, and you will need to be diplomatic and encourage them to do so. This is not about you having power over anyone; it's about you living the way you want to live.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You must be vulnerable if you want to learn new things about yourself. That involves taking a risk of the sort few people are willing to dare today. The benefit you'll receive is experiencing yourself as a whole person, rather than as one fragmented into parts or layers.

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 may be feeling vulnerable for a reason you don't understand. It's not just in your imagination. Yet this is the kind of openness that will teach you how to be available, which always involves taking a slight risk. Pleasure often has a delicate edge of pain, and love has a hint of sadness.

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) -- You may get some fantastic ideas from people you disagree with -- which is why you should listen to them carefully. Rather than argue, mine them for data, for their point of view, and for the details of their seemingly weird approach to life. Then spin that dross into gold.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Mercury is now in your sign, which is providing you with access to your own intelligence. You don't need to think hard; you just need to give yourself a little time and space to consider your situation. When you do, you'll see how supportive you can be of someone who truly needs you.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Spirituality is not about following a formula; it's about tapping into what you know. It's not about rules; it's about being responsive to your surroundings. And it's surely not about being right, but rather about being willing to learn. Let these be your guideposts this weekend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- If you're annoyed or irritated about something, make sure you have the subject area correct. You're feeling something; and if you don’t get it right, you might make a bad decision or take out your irritation on someone who doesn't deserve it. So, keep an open mind, and ponder this for a day or so.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You're a source of inspiration to someone who loves you dearly, though they might be too intimidated to say anything. Be gently encouraging and emphasize the many positive qualities that this person has. Recognize the places they have been hurt, and offer your support in their healing process.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Setting one's own interests aside is an art form, and at the moment you have access to that particular talent. Some say it's impossible, though you are indeed capable of thinking exclusively for what is in another person's best interests, having nothing to do with your own needs.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Aquarius is one of the signs that can get set in its ways, and relies on jolts to set them free. You don't actually need to use that method. You can be more flexible and take your steps incrementally, at will. Yet to do that you need to view the world through a wide-angle lens.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel like you're in a tight spot, whether that's emotionally or in some practical situation. Yet there's an easy solution you may not be seeing yet. Sometimes you have to turn the puzzle upside down, or look at the game from the other direction; then you see something obvious.
