Len Wallick | Re: the Mercury Retrograde
The Mercury retrograde that initiated in Virgo yesterday won't be an isolated incident, thanks to the total solar eclipse taking place on Aug. 21.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 13
(The Day of Long Odds) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Cut back expenses and emphasize only your most important priorities. Remember that your time and your attention are two of your most meaningful resources, and it's essential that you use them wisely. You can reduce your spending significantly, which will teach you how to be more efficient. If you focus on necessities, you will have plenty left over.
Written in the Planets
Aspects involving Mercury and the Sun today are likely to support the application of reason. Just now, this is not only useful but necessary. Eric wrote in Thursday's full Planet Waves edition how the ability to reason is adversely affected by technology both overwhelming our minds with information and acting as an artificial memory. This Mercury retrograde period might be a useful time for you to reflect on, among other things, the way your gadgets have changed your life, and precisely how far you're willing to allow them to encroach. Remember that boundaries are most effective when you draw a solid line, and enforce it consciously and consistently.
 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 13, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Cut back expenses and emphasize only your most important priorities. Remember that your time and your attention are two of your most meaningful resources, and it's essential that you use them wisely. You can reduce your spending significantly, which will teach you how to be more efficient. If you focus on necessities, you will have plenty left over. You share a birthday with Alfred Hitchcock, Madhur Jaffrey and John Slattery.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- For the next few weeks, focus on wrapping up projects that you've already begun. That might include anything from organizing your finances to finishing a painting to a piece of writing that you want to complete. Mercury retrograde is all about tidying, and tying up the loose ends.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Gently sidestep any temptation to get angry or be frustrated. First, filter out the expectations of others, then ask yourself what you're trying to accomplish. If you slow down and do that, you'll see that there is a clear path to your destination. Yet to find it, you must evaluate your situation carefully.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Mercury will be moving retrograde for the next three weeks, which is the perfect time to get your home organized and in order. Make a list of unfinished products or things that annoy you, from slow drains to messy drawers. One by one, fix them and cross them off your list.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Your role in life is to take care of people. Your sign represents the Mother archetype in her highest form. The world needs not just sane leaders but those willing to nourish and nurture whatever needs care and attention. Start with making sure everyone around you is well fed.
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.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- This week, take a broad-minded approach to life. Recent events have shown you that the reality can be vastly different from your perceptions. To embrace this is a special gift, of both sight and insight. Don't be satisfied with your current state of knowledge. Keep penetrating the layers.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Sex or no sex? This is the question. You might be asking what's appropriate for the situation, though what is inappropriate matters more. Following the rules and conventions of society works for some things, though adventure is not one of them. You know who and what you want. Set your own terms.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Take an open-minded approach if a partner comes to you with a concern or need. They deserve the best of your attention and support. There's also something in this for you, because someone close to you can see something that you cannot, though you may hold the key to the riddle.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Success is rarely attained by taking some predictable, straightforward path. More often, it's the seeming setbacks that lead to the breakthroughs. Keep your usual positive approach and quickly look for the gift inside of any issue or problem. This is not New Age hocus-pocus; it's a solid approach to life.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- If you want to manifest a professional vision, you'll need the support of your friends and allies. They'll be only too happy to offer themselves, if you let them know you truly appreciate their friendship and kindness. If someone is helping you, or even willing to help, you cannot be too gracious.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Families tend to be vast repositories of lies and concealed information, and most people think this is perfectly normal. Well, maybe it's normal, but you cannot live this way, and you know it. It may be stunning to others that you think there's just one standard for reality, which is reality.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Use your gift for language to open up a conversation with someone who may seem reticent to reveal their secrets. You don't need to poke or prod, only gently stroke their fur or feathers, going with the grain. A little warmth and sweetness will go a long way toward helping them feel safe.
