"We made our mistakes back in the 20th century, Lord knows, but we never nominated a man for president who brags about not reading. Calvin Coolidge had his limits. Warren G. Harding spent more time on his hair than strictly necessary. Lyndon Baines Johnson was a piece of work. But all of them read books. When I envision a Trump Presidential Library, I see enormous chandeliers and gold carpet and a thousand slot machines. God help us. I mean it. We're in trouble down here."
-- Garrison Keillor
Welcome to Eclipseville, and Your Midyear Readings
Dear Friend and Reader:
It's time -- eclipse time, that is. Whether you've been feeling unsettled and edgy lately, or optimistic and eager to move your life in an exciting new direction, keep your antennae up and your eyes (and energy) focused on where you want to go. That will help you to take the steps you need (and want) to take.

Remember, this is not the same as having expectations about what the next two weeks 'should' be like. Whether the eclipse effect in your personal life is subtle or dramatic, rest assured that it is working. You can do your best to make conscious choices around opportunities and shifts in direction, but you can't really force things.
Even if you feel like you 'miss your chance' at something, you'll likely get another (if different) opportunity down the line. So hang in there, and try to enjoy the ride. Monday's Full Moon is exact just after 2:10 pm EDT / 18:10:33 UTC; the accompanying partial lunar eclipse peaks about ten minutes later, and is bookended by the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 7
(The Day of the Double Agent) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A lunar eclipse on your birthday only happens a few times in your lifetime. It indicates a shift in your social reality: a reorientation in your circle of friends and your relationship to the public, and taking a step toward having bigger, more adventurous dreams. Remember: your friends are the people who support you, especially when you need them most.
Written in the Planets
Happy astrological Lammas! Today is the much-anticipated lunar eclipse, preceding the considerably-more-anticipated solar eclipse in a couple of weeks. Regarding today's event: as Amanda pointed out in her Thursday piece, anything taking place across the Leo-Aquarius axis tends to be about groups and how we relate to them. Leo describes standing out and letting your light shine; Aquarius is the great leveller of the zodiac. There's often a thin line to walk between the two. Working with the energy of today's eclipse may help you navigate that path.
In the Shadow of the Moon, the exciting 2017 Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, has just been published. The video readings for all 12 signs cover the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21 and well beyond. We'll be increasing the price again very soon, so don't hesitate to order your copy here. You can also now choose your individual signs 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 7, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
A lunar eclipse on your birthday only happens a few times in your lifetime. It indicates a shift in your social reality: a reorientation in your circle of friends and your relationship to the public, and taking a step toward having bigger, more adventurous dreams. Remember: your friends are the people who support you, especially when you need them most. You share a birthday with Mata Hari, Garrison Keillor and Charlize Theron.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Today's eclipse of the Moon occurs in the sector of your chart where your deepest dreams for your life intersect with the environment where they would come true. You have a vision for your life, which you can think of as a special tree that you need to plant in exactly the right place.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Do the thing you want to do. Don't hope for it, plan for it, or aspire to it. Be that thing, in your actual day-to-day life. You might need to give up a few activities you don't truly want, or which waste your precious time; so the result will be a double net gain. Start today. Start right now.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Today's lunar eclipse is an invitation to question what you believe. All in all, it would be even better to challenge the whole concept of 'belief' itself, since it's so fragile and misleading. You might make a new standard for when you accept something is true, and be a little more skeptical.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today's eclipse of the Moon in the money and resources angle of your chart will provide you with some unusual clarity about your financial situation. What you will discover is that you're making more progress than you think, mostly based on having the support of the people around you.

Dear Friend and Reader:
If you have a Leo Sun, rising sign or Moon, I want to ask you something: How are you feeling about your vision for your life, and in what ways are you ready to take action toward it? What do you want to make room for, and what are you ready to leave behind?
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 two weeks, on Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse in Leo signals the second stage of whatever life-shifting process you're engaged in.
The reverberations from these two eclipses will keep rippling out and developing through the next six to twelve months -- and Eric's 2017 Leo Birthday Reading is designed to guide you through it all.
This is a unique year for you, Leo. In addition to these eclipses (and the double New Moons in your sign this month), Eric plans to discuss such astrological heavyweights as Chiron finishing up its journey through your 8th house; ever-surprising Uranus; and Saturn leaving your fellow fire sign, Sagittarius -- plus more.
Are you navigating changes in your relationships or family paradigm? Do you find yourself at a career crossroads? Are you seeking clarity, encouragement and new perspectives on your creativity, self-esteem, sexuality or healing process? You'll find ideas and reassurance in this reading.
"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."

I'm excited to see what you do with this year, Leo, and I hope you are, too. And remember: if you love a Leo, let them know: give them the gift of their special Leo Reading this year.
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
P.S. If you're new to Planet Waves and Eric's audio readings, I'd like to offer a special gift: listen to last year's Leo Reading for free, to review your year (and Eric's accuracy) before you make the quantum leap forward.
 The first astrology segment of your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric is now published. This is a seminal year for Leo Sun, rising and Moon, especially with the upcoming powerful solar eclipse in your sign. Make this dynamic energy work for you -- order your reading today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Today's lunar eclipse in Aquarius evokes a theme from one of the ancient texts: "When I am healed, I am not healed alone." Your wellbeing, your sanity, your ability to live honestly, are related to the same needs and desires of many around you. Tap into that mutual support, and feel its strength.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Someone you're close to is more negotiable than they may seem. You might have to answer the question about what's in it for them, which is reasonable enough for anyone who's not Mother Teresa. Explain how they benefit, and remind them everyone else does too, and you'll get what you need.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- It's possible to let go of past influences in a single jump, though you must be impeccably honest with yourself, and truly committed to having a better life. Can you do those things? If so, you can let go of a lifetime of negative conditioning and set the terms of your own relationships.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You need community. This has nothing to do with the internet. It's about the streets you walk around on, the people you see every day, and the friends you can actually spend time with. Don't be deceived by tribalism or trends. Get together with warm-blooded humans, and keep doing so.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You draw most of your power from your community, not your individual strength. Today's rare astrology is encouraging you to focus that idea. While you must be the intelligence that focuses your mission, many people are willing to help you, and many others need your help. This is a resource.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Today there's an eclipse of the Moon in your sign, which is about shifting the story of your life. It's not as simple as creating a "new you," though the old you is made up of tendencies, habits and patterns, and these are now subject to change. Focus some ideas on what you want to create.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today there's a lunar eclipse in the hidden, veiled area of your solar chart, though as a Pisces, this is exciting and intriguing. Let all your secrets bubble to the surface. Explore your personal attic, open up that old trunk you've never looked inside, and see what's there. Set yourself free.
