Len Wallick | The Better to See

With today's offering Len Wallick proposes that you approach the eclipses this month with the idea of putting them to use as a sort of telescope. Astronomers use a telescope to see both what's coming and what is long past. Beginning with the lunar eclipse on Monday, and through to the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, you might be able to do something of the same.

Moon Phase: Moon is in Waxing Gibbous phase and enters Full phase on Aug. 7 at 11:10 am PDT / 2:10 pm EDT (18:10:33 UTC).
Next Full Moon is in Aquarius on Aug. 7 at 11:10 am PDT / 2:10 pm EDT (18:10:33 UTC).
Next New Moon is in Leo on Aug. 21 at 11:30 am PDT / 2:30 pm EDT (18:30:06 UTC).
Moon Sign: Moon is in Capricorn and enters Aquarius today at 5:15 am PDT / 8:15 am EDT (12:15:25 UTC).
Sun Degree: 14-15 Leo.

Planetary Stations and Sign Changes
Moon enters Aquarius at 5:15 am PDT / 8:15 am EDT (12:15:25 UTC).

If Your Birthday is Aug. 6
(The Day of Unique Happenings) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Share what you do with the world. Offer your beauty, your ideas and your deepest personal expression. This may feel like you're taking a chance of some kind, and in a sense you are: it's called 'putting yourself out there'. Do this in a bold way that's meaningful to you; in fact, I suggest you try many different experiments. You will learn a little more with each.

Written in the Planets
Today the Moon enters Aquarius on its way to eclipseville. Chances are, by now you've got a clue regarding where in your life this event will show up; the wheels may already be in motion. Keep as steady a pace as you can. Don't forget that Mercury will station retrograde in just under a week: your probable first step if unsure of anything is to gather all available facts and notice details.

Just in time for the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017, you'll have access to a helpful, excellent video astrology reading. These will be done by sign and rising sign; each reading is about half an hour. Over the next few days, the price of this reading will be increasing. It's now $77; by this evening, it will be $88; and on Sunday it'll be raised again. The final published price will be $111. You may pre-order here.

"I have just listened to your Part 1 and Part 2 readings and I am amazed at how accurate it has been. Like you have a telescope watching me shed a skin and transform into a totally changed person in the last 10 years."
-- Pauline Jones

If you have a Leo Sun, rising sign or Moon, how are you feeling about your vision for your life, and in what ways are you ready to take action toward it? With a partial lunar eclipse on Monday in your opposite sign Aquarius (your relationship sign), the door opens to one stage of potential transition. In just over two weeks, on Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse in Leo signals the second stage of whatever life-shifting process you're engaged with.

The reverberations from these two eclipses will keep rippling out and developing through the next six to twelve months -- and Eric's upcoming 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading will be designed to guide you through it all.

"The past few years have been very difficult on many levels and it has been the readings I get through you that keep me going. Always, absolutely right on, every one of them."
-- Rhonda

Daily Horoscope for August 6, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Share what you do with the world. Offer your beauty, your ideas and your deepest personal expression. This may feel like you're taking a chance of some kind, and in a sense you are: it's called 'putting yourself out there'. Do this in a bold way that's meaningful to you; in fact, I suggest you try many different experiments. You will learn a little more with each. You share a birthday with Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Andy Warhol and Michelle Yeoh.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You know it's time to make some changes, which may involve the people you hang out with. Do you really feel appreciated for who you are and, more significantly, have you ever really had that experience? It feels really, really different from the usual forms of conditional love.

Eric is busy recording In the Shadow of the Moon, your 2017 Midyear reading, which will guide you expertly through the powerful total solar eclipse of Aug. 21 and well beyond. We're publishing very soon, so be sure to pre-order today and get all 12 signs at a fantastic bargain.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Check whether your professional goals and your deepest needs for intimacy are working in harmony with one another. It's not necessary to have any conflict between the two; however, this can take some conscious working out. Over the next few days, you'll get some insight how to do that.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Your personal values are different from what was programmed into you as a child. That includes influences from religion, education, and any odd tendencies your family may have had. Know what matters to you, and don't hesitate one bit if nobody agrees with you. It's your life.

Eric has now published your complete Gemini birthday reading, comprising well over an hour of excellent insights. Order here to get instant access, whether for yourself or the Gemini you love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- If you have anything challenging you want to speak with a partner or loved one about, today there's an unusual opening for that. The key, though, will be saying less and listening more. Speak just enough to get the other person talking; pay attention to what they say to you. It will be the real material.

Eric has recently published your full 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading. Eric's birthday readings are accurate, friendly and long-lasting, and they make the perfect gift. Order your copy here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- There's no point keeping secrets from yourself. So you may as well admit to everything you know or suspect is true. Once you do that, the implications will seem far less troubling than they did before you acknowledged how you really felt. And once you're there, you'll have your freedom.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Your relationships don't follow the usual patterns of many other people. You've noticed that those habits and customs don't work so well anyway, though your need to live differently is tapping into something mythic; something old and not well understood by the world. You are catching on, though.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Despite all the pressure to 'emphasize the positive', you would really benefit from talking about what might be troubling you. If you don't know exactly what that is, all the more reason to open up to someone you trust -- preferably someone not directly involved in what you're describing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You're starting to notice how influential your family was in setting your expectations about relationships. It may seem frustrating that you cannot get out of these patterns; but when you notice them, you are indeed halfway there. Don't be afraid to describe your feelings as what they are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- There are times when you must give something up in order to make a professional gain, though this is unlikely to work out as a loss. Offer what's needed; do what you're called to do, and don’t worry about the time involved. The impact on close partners will be less than you think.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- One thing we are missing in contemporary life is the notion of pooling resources to get something done. Well, it's not entirely gone, but it's not considered cool. Your charts are reminding you that if you spread out the costs, and spread out the work, you will get a lot done.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You know that big changes are coming, though the question is: what do you want to change? What habits are getting in the way, and which do you need to cultivate? And do you have the right friends? You need supportive people around you, who recognize who you are. Find them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The Moon has moved into position for Monday's eclipse in Aquarius. This rare event is a window into your psyche. Focus your attention inwardly today and for the next couple of days, because you have access to an inner perspective that will teach you a lot about yourself in a short time.
