This Week's Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino

The spotlight is on Leo now, with Mars and the Sun streaking across the sky, and two eclipses soon to arrive between today and Aug. 21. This means your life is in transition; and if that is true, then it's essential that you stay in contact with what you want. Mars, the planet of desire, will help you focus your goals, and erase any guilt or apprehension you may be feeling about being authentically bold. To live the way you want requires courage, on several different levels. Most people are easily given to living with difficult situations rather than taking the chance of changing them. Yet because you have so much energy (Mars and the Sun are both hot and fiery), it's essential to dial in the power of Saturn. This is about discipline, careful timing and using structure to your advantage. Incremental changes are the right changes, at least for now.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 1
(The Day of Original Style) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You need adventure in your life. Yes, you may be hesitating, though at least your idea of doing something bold exceeds downloading a new app. For you, it's more like visiting a new country, or trying some form of art that you've never experimented with before. And certainly you need friends and lovers who crave the unknown as much as you do.

Written in the Planets
Does your way of expressing yourself (or even your leadership style) suddenly feel like it's at odds with something you've been patiently, persistently planning and working toward? Today the Leo Sun squares the asteroid Pallas in Taurus. With these planets in fixed signs, you'll have to remember to bring a little flexibility to your actions -- and reactions -- today. Whether any challenges come from others or from within yourself, remember to listen carefully. This is a time of testing; you can be bold, remembering that a small adjustment to your strategy now could mitigate resistance later.

"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 August 1, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You need adventure in your life. Yes, you may be hesitating, though at least your idea of doing something bold exceeds downloading a new app. For you, it's more like visiting a new country, or trying some form of art that you've never experimented with before. And certainly you need friends and lovers who crave the unknown as much as you do. You share a birthday with Jerry Garcia, Lorna Goodison and Coolio.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Love is spiritual. Sex is spiritual. Existence is spiritual. Therefore, you can remove all those false boundaries from your mind: you know, the ones that make petty distinctions between certain shades of beauty and desire being better than others; and join those who refuse to be unfree.

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) -- With your ruling planet Venus now making its way through Cancer, the sign of empathy, you could persuade anyone of anything. You don't need to be rational or eloquent; only to demonstrate that you care. That will build an unusual degree of trust -- and lead to even better things.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You have a rare perspective on how so many things that seem entirely unrelated are actually part of the same pattern. This could apply to any aspect of your life. Over the next few days, study the connections and the synchronicities. They will provide you with a map of your reality.

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) -- Venus, the original water goddess, is now in your sign. This will enhance your attractiveness, which means your ability to draw people and things to you with relatively little effort. Yet don't let that stop you from focusing specifically on what you want or need, and making that happen.

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'll need to strike a creative deal with someone in a position of authority. Keep the emphasis on creative; you want something that works for everyone, and where everyone comes out ahead. That can take a little thought, though you will be surprised how little. One idea will suffice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- There's a lot going on in the world and in your life, though you need to honor a deep and perhaps unspeakable desire that you have. You know what it is. You might not have admitted it consciously, though now is the time -- and then, while the feeling is fresh and alive, act on it.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Venus crosses the midheaven angle of your solar chart today, which arrives with a healthy dose of aspiration, and the feeling of being noticed. Aspire to good and loving things: to serve the world in the way that only you can. People respect you, and your positive example means a lot to them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Patience pays off. Yet if you have anything you need to make amends for, get it out of the way early, and get back to being productive. You may be under a lot of pressure, though there are people who would be only too happy to help you, if you're willing to be friendly and cooperative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may be summoned to take up a leadership role, which mainly involves leaving room for something to happen. That might mean ensuring a full conversation happens, and that all sides of the issue are heard. Your power of objectivity will allow the truth to come out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- There's a matter of professional responsibility that's gradually compelling you to take a more serious and mature approach to life. Your role is requiring you to keep your hands clean, and maintain the highest standard of integrity. This is not optional; it's a bottom-line requirement.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It's getting near time to confront an issue that's concerned you for a while, and which you've previously been able to sidestep. It's about a dimension of spirituality that goes beyond crystals and incense. It may seem dark; but once you go there, you'll feel much better and won't want to turn back.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What comes to you is yours, and you must take ownership of it, if you want it. You have earned the gains that are coming to you, and that means feeling no guilt, or thinking you owe anything other than what you've actually promised. Be generous with yourself first, and others second.
