Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Aug. 12, 2017
The current astrology means adventure. If you can't get on an airplane or the Space Shuttle, try taking a road trip of at least two hours and one overnight. You may be busy, but this will help you focus your ideas and clear your head. If you think a kid is holding you back, take the kid along too. What you need is movement, the expansion of your geographic horizons, which will key right into the expansion of your psychological horizons. I guess in a pinch, getting together with some good friends and tripping will suffice. But after a rather close and stuffy experience of someone or something the past few weeks, you really seem to need some fresh air and the sound of tires humming beneath your feet.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 12
(The Day of Convention) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Let your momentum carry you. You don't need to push so hard. All you need is to guide your life by making clear and honest decisions that are based on what you know you want. Once you can do that, events will carry you swiftly in the direction you want to travel. Yet honesty is key, particularly with close partners who might be affected by your decisions.
Written in the Planets
Mercury stations retrograde today in Virgo for about three weeks. You know the drill: double-check emails (and their addresses) before you click 'send'; if you think someone's ignoring your texts or emails, pick up the phone and call before you go nuclear; pay attention to what you're doing (especially while driving); and do your best to have a Plan B and leave extra time for everything. Take a deep breath; you're gonna be okay! Venus in Cancer is making such lovely aspects to Ceres and Neptune, compassion is likely to come naturally and be quite nourishing. Remember to offer some to yourself as well as to others, and to receive it graciously. Compassion may even come in the form of food; never underestimate how difficult it is to think straight on an empty stomach.
 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 12, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Let your momentum carry you. You don't need to push so hard. All you need is to guide your life by making clear and honest decisions that are based on what you know you want. Once you can do that, events will carry you swiftly in the direction you want to travel. Yet honesty is key, particularly with close partners who might be affected by your decisions. You share a birthday with Helena Blavatsky, Mark Knopfler and Yvette Nicole Brown.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- If you like how your life is going, then keep going. If you see things you want to change, make your adjustments sooner rather than later. By now you know what is true and meaningful for you, and what is not. Get a grip, honor your deepest reality and use your power of decision.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're on a roll, so don't let any doubts deter or distract you from your purpose. Let yourself be guided by inner influences as much as possible; your intuition has been worth its weight in gold lately. You know what you're doing, even if it sometimes doesn't feel that way.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Mercury, your ruling planet, is about to go retrograde. This could symbolize rethinking an important decision you thought was well-settled. Don't be afraid to reassess the facts, and to check your thought process. You may need to do this a few more times between now and early September.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Know who your allies are, and who your friends are, and stay in close contact with them. Make some calls and send some emails early today, and work up a game plan. By afternoon or evening, high-level situations may go wonky, and you'll be there with ideas and people ready to work.
To the Leo Eclipse and Beyond!
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.
This is a unique year for you, Leo. In addition to the current eclipses (and the double New Moons in your sign), Eric plans to discuss in your upcoming reading 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.
"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."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Bring the full power of your intellect to bear on a question or issue. Do not settle for a superficial version of events. Go beyond the press release, the distractions and the deceptions. Pull back the veil that's covering reality. Remind yourself often: the truth is better than illusions.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Pay special attention to any situation calling for emotional connection. Chart factors that indicate bonding and simpatico are strong in your astrology right now. This covers everyone, really, though reach out to your children, especially daughters. Let them know you truly care, and are available.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Be as productive as you can be today; focus on completing the tasks that simply must get done, or the most challenging tasks, and get them out of the way. Invest your talent and energy and keep at it, staying late at work if you have to. Bigger, better things are coming.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- With Mercury about to station retrograde in the angle of your chart representing accountability, you may get the feeling that someone is trying to blame you for something. You can accept responsibility without taking the blame. Step up to the challenge and be willing to set things right.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Others will offer their cooperation if you offer your support and attentiveness. Your solar chart is saying it would be too easy to take their love and affection for granted, though if you do, you're missing something special. It's easy to be self-absorbed. It's just as easy to embrace others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Sometimes when you're unraveling secrets, or seeking some complex or hidden truth, it helps to proceed with the curiosity of a child. Ask the obvious questions to anyone who might know. Note whether the answers make sense on their face. Do not accept any old gibberish, or a dumb look.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't need to doubt whether a person you're interested in is sincere; their actions will confirm that for you. Your part in the arrangement is to allow them closer than you might normally let a person get. This may seem like a risk, though that's nothing compared to the reward.
