If Your Birthday is Aug. 9
(The Day of Psychological Leverage) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It's not always easy to live honoring the truth and nothing but the truth, though it's always worth it. There can be no compromising your integrity; and you must hold your boundaries in your relationships, whether this applies to money, sex, your spiritual endeavors or any other facet of your life purpose. Others may challenge your integrity, though you will prevail.
Written in the Planets
Does expressing your emotions -- indeed, even just feeling them in the first place -- often feel like a 'risky' behavior, like you're not sure where the guardrails are? How much do you value 'feeling safe', and how much do you value being emotionally honest and open? It seems there's plenty of physical grounding available, and space is being held, should you feel called to negotiate that point where caring openly could open a door wider than usual. Venus in Cancer is the tip of a 'kite pattern', opposing centaur planet Chariklo in Capricorn while making sextiles to Vesta in Virgo and Pallas in Taurus. Today it looks like the goddesses have your back.
 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 9, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
It's not always easy to live honoring the truth and nothing but the truth, though it's always worth it. There can be no compromising your integrity; and you must hold your boundaries in your relationships, whether this applies to money, sex, your spiritual endeavors or any other facet of your life purpose. Others may challenge your integrity, though you will prevail. You share a birthday with John Dryden, Whitney Houston and Audrey Tatou.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- There's absolutely no place in your life for denial. If you find yourself pretending something is or is not so, or if you notice you're making up stories that have no basis in fact, stop and do a reality check. Doing this will build your confidence and restore your energy.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- We live in times when everyone must mind their public image, though you don't want to be obsessed by this. You cannot control what others think of you, though you can present yourself in an intentional way.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You seem to be on the verge of believing something that's not true, only because it makes you feel better. However, you're likely to wake up just in the nick of time, and claim back your grip on reality. If you're trying to convince yourself of anything, it's probably not true.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Give yourself the chance to think in terms of best-case scenarios. As the expression goes, "dream a little," which is to say: consider what might be possible if everything went beautifully and your wishes came true. This is a useful thought experiment, designed to make room for what you truly want.

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."

Your reading is now priced at $44, and we've just published the first astrology segment; so you'll want to order your 2017 Leo Reading very soon -- before the price increases again.
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) -- Mercury, now in your sign, is about to turn to retrograde motion, which will span from Aug. 12 to Sept. 5. This is a time of re-evaluation, which you can begin now. Don't rush the process. Take things one day at a time. The deepest revelations will arrive the first week of September.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Power and influence can be focused through feeding the people. I mean this literally. Your solar chart this week is all about a special responsibility you have, which mainly involves emotional bonding, and food. This is true whether you're president of a big company, or a great-granny. Feed the people.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You may want to let your fantasies run away with you, described by today's lush conjunction of the Moon and Neptune. While this may seem contrary to doing business and keeping your productivity going, the most vexing problems yield beautifully to the power of imagination.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- If you're feeling insecure or isolated, stretch past that. Plenty of people are interested in you and what you have to offer. They appreciate your serious and sincere approach to life. It's true that not many people can think on your level, but if you give them a chance you may be surprised.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Measure your words carefully, as they are likely to travel further and wider than you're expecting. You're also subject to being misinterpreted. So take the time and effort to get your facts right, to be complete and to remove any ambiguities from a written presentation or correspondence.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Take a conservative approach to money. Current aspects suggest you're not being realistic about something, and that you could be working with incomplete information. The same may be true for contracts, which require special scrutiny now. Read the fine print, and notice what is left out.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today's Moon-Neptune conjunction in your sign is something of a mental vacation. It may not be easy to keep your mind on your work and your responsibilities, though you do need a break from those things. If you can arrange it, today would be an excellent day for fun and play.
