If Your Birthday is Aug. 10
(The Day of the Velvet Voice) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Don't fall for the trap that others are standing in the way of your dreams. They are not, as long as you don't give them that role. You will build the life you want by applying your imagination, mixed with discipline and a touch of flexibility. It's time for you to design the life you want, so don't let your current attachments or anxieties get in the way.

Written in the Planets
Given the current state of the world, it wouldn't be at all surprising if you're feeling a little nervous. However, the state of the sky today is much more pleasant, including Mercury sextile Venus and the Sun sextile Jupiter, among other aspects. All this points to a possible way to channel your fears into something constructive. As our friend Amanda Moreno recently pointed out, "Prayers for peace, calm, level headedness, objectivity...or making a point of hugging a friend, wishing a stranger kindness and health, planting a damn tree or basil plant...your efforts ripple out." Send ripples of love today.

"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 10, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Don't fall for the trap that others are standing in the way of your dreams. They are not, as long as you don't give them that role. You will build the life you want by applying your imagination, mixed with discipline and a touch of flexibility. It's time for you to design the life you want, so don't let your current attachments or anxieties get in the way. You share a birthday with Leo Fender, Antonio Banderas and Sean Blakemore.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Today's meeting of Mars and Neptune will be inspiring and exciting, if you remember that your creativity is the thing that drives your life. You are the author of the stories that you live by; you set the tone of the world you inhabit. If you don't like the story of your life, write a new one.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Pay attention if any relatives or housemates want you to give up your plans in exchange for something they want. The chances are you're working on something you value, which is calling for your full creative focus. Don't allow anyone to get between you and your creative aspirations.

Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- The most important issues are not political and they are not economic. Ultimately they are spiritual, which means about the nature of existence.

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.

Planet Waves
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.

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.
Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You must be cautious about allowing emotional attachments to influence financial decisions. You're likely to be in a generous and self-sacrificing frame of mind, though that will not serve anyone's best interests. Get your feelings out of the equation, and ensure that everyone is being truthful with you.
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
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Mercury, your ruling planet, and Vesta, an asteroid associated with Virgo, are making an unusual conjunction. This is calling you to see the whole situation for what it is. You have a key role in current developments, which seems to be encouraging those around you to see the wider, deeper picture.

Libra
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Mercury is slowing down to a retrograde in the most private angle of your solar chart. That means it's time to have a long talk with yourself about something you may have been denying, or not acknowledging fully. You can afford to be totally honest with yourself; you cannot afford anything but.

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Watching a video about something is not the same as doing it. There's no substitute for experience, especially when it comes to sex, music, art or any form of play. Whatever you want, you can honor your craving to make it real. Try something and see how it feels. Life is an experiment.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You can now take a more sober and productive approach to a family situation or emotional issue. Admitting your real feelings will motivate you to work for a real solution, which will no doubt involve tuning up your boundaries and making some decisions. This will feel good, as you take each step.

Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Honesty is often driven by passion, and how you feel today is no exception. However, it would be wise to say a bit less rather than a bit more, and stop short of trying to justify your feelings. Knowing how you feel is enough, and you don't even need to say anything.

Aquarius
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your doubts must inspire you to dig out the truth. There's no use sitting around wondering, or ignoring your concerns. Gently nudge the people around you to come out with their version of reality. You want all of the facts, not just a select few. This will take a couple days. Be persistent.

Pisces
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your mind is in a more serious and productive mode, though with no shortage of imagination. A little focus and discipline will go a long way; choose a task and tackle it, starting with the most challenging or difficult. Leave the easy stuff for last. Most of it will take care of itself.
