This Week's Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino
Monday there is an eclipse of the Moon in the angle of your chart that describes your relationships, and the environment that surrounds you. Suddenly it seems that environment is changing in significant ways. Mostly this will come in the form of letting go of old friends and getting some new ones. It's essential to go through this every once in a while, especially if your goals, your sense of purpose, or your idea of who you are becoming are changing. Essentially, you need friends who are not threatened by your willingness to change and grow. There's no way to overstate this necessity. You are indeed evolving rapidly; and having people around you who in some way object or are made nervous by that fact is a perfect way to thwart your own progress. If someone really cares about you, they will honor your need to grow.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 8
(The Day of the Roleplayers) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Financial matters will take on a new level of spiritual significance. You might say that money is the meaning of life, but not in the way that most people think. Your resources are a vehicle for your most sincere intentions, and you must become a master of them. Doing the right thing is more important than personal gain, though both are possible at once.
Written in the Planets
Plan deliberately. That is, go step-by-step, and with a firm grasp on what already exists in some concrete way, and what is currently physically possible because of that. Listen to the wisdom of your body -- such as your energy level when you think of certain tasks; any weird sensations when you encounter something you're not 100% on board with; physical signs of stress or excitement. Mercury in Virgo is slow and powerful, preparing to station retrograde on Friday. Today it makes a trine to Pallas in Taurus. The more tangible your sources of wisdom and strategy, the more stability you create for your thought process as you move forward from yesterday's lunar eclipse.
 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."

Daily Horoscope for August 8, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Financial matters will take on a new level of spiritual significance. You might say that money is the meaning of life, but not in the way that most people think. Your resources are a vehicle for your most sincere intentions, and you must become a master of them. Doing the right thing is more important than personal gain, though both are possible at once. You share a birthday with Dustin Hoffman, Roger Federer and The Edge.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Notice if you find yourself overworking, if you're frustrated, or if your efforts seem to be going nowhere. You may indeed be doing something worthwhile, though it will help if you pause and reassess your plan a few times a day. If you keep your priorities clear, you'll be much more effective.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're getting a feeling for how you're influenced by groups, and how much courage it can take to stand apart from the prevailing opinion of those around you. This is not about creating a confrontation, or being stubborn. It's about being honest with yourself and the people you work with.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Make sure your living space actually provides room for you to live. Clear out what's unnecessary. Make space for what you want to do. And if you have housemates or relatives, make sure they understand that you need quiet time, and also time at home without others there.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- The Moon is still vibrating from yesterday's eclipse in Aquarius, an event that symbolizes some space opening up in the world for you to be yourself. Though Cancer is a sign associated with the home and tradition, you have ideas about relationships that are ahead of their time.

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 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) -- The next few days will be a sensitive, vitally influential time. You may be called to make critical personal decisions; and to do that well, you'll need to balance your personal interests against the needs of the people around you. The greater mission is more important than your personal agenda.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Work with those in authority this week, not against them. This involves two main categories of life: higher-ups at work, and members of your family. You don’t have to agree with their every thought or opinion; you just need to be supportive, and gently guide them toward reality.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Recent shakeups in your household or extended family are serving to remind you it's time to leave the past behind. To do that, you must let go of tendencies that hook you into their emotional patterns, though for that daunting task, it really helps to have extra motivation. Now you do.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- The recent lunar eclipse in Aquarius is a reminder that you need real community. Not virtual or online or conceptual community but the genuine thing, within walking distance to your home. If you must use the internet, let it be a vehicle for connecting with others in an actual room with air.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- A partner or loved one is offering you generous gifts, which you would be wise to receive. It would seem that someone has genuine affection for you, of a kind that you would genuinely benefit from. They may seem sappy or sentimental, which is like a frosting over sincere love.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Yesterday's Full Moon eclipse in your birth sign is still ringing through the hills and valleys of your life. Whatever may have emerged will serve you as a reminder that you can only be who you are. It's impossible to conform to the desires of others and still be sincere to yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Yesterday's lunar eclipse will help you release negative tendencies, thought patterns and lingering anxieties. All you need is to want to let go of these things, and perhaps consciously recognize how they only serve to burn up your energy and waste your time. You have better uses for your resources.
