"Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms... If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there."
-- Gene Roddenberry

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Aug. 19, 2017
This month you embark on one of the most get-real times of your whole life. It will last for years; it will last until you get the message perfectly. Getting real means the premium on honesty in relationships not only increases; it becomes the bottom line. Honesty is an interesting thing. There are many in this world who find it easier to hide behind layers of personality glamour denial and those foggy half-truths about who they are. In your life the fog is clearing and be glad of it. Welcome people who are brave enough to be honest with you. Be brave enough to let the world know exactly who you are.
The Oracle is a daily mini-reading divined from our extensive Horoscope Archive. You can research any Planet Waves horoscope published since 1999 at the Horoscope Archive and Oracle.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 19
(The Day of Startling Surprises) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Look for the narrow opening, the unlikely advantage, the odd timing or the opportunity that you might otherwise miss. It may be looking right at you, and you may have overlooked it several times. That's the portal to the next phase of your life; indeed, to a way of life. It's not merely that 'things work out', but rather that they do so because you're cooperating fully.
Written in the Planets
Today the Moon moves into Leo: the sign of Monday's eclipse. Do you feel a quickening of energy, anticipation or emotional resonance? With the Leo Sun making a trine to the Galactic Core in Sagittarius today, taking leadership in your life in a compassionate, heart-centered way would seem to be directly in tune with our cosmic origins. See where your intuition aligns with what you love to do -- or even where you'd like to dare to go -- and keep any momentum going that you've been building this week. Small steps could count for a lot.
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 19, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Look for the narrow opening, the unlikely advantage, the odd timing or the opportunity that you might otherwise miss. It may be looking right at you, and you may have overlooked it several times. That's the portal to the next phase of your life; indeed, to a way of life. It's not merely that 'things work out', but rather that they do so because you're cooperating fully. You share a birthday with Gene Roddenberry, Kyra Sedgwick and Nate Dogg.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Living creatively is about what you've never done, and even what you never planned to do. It's OK to have your corn flakes with strawberries and a splash of maple syrup, and your exactly crisp English muffin. Then go forth, dive into the world and totally surprise yourself.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Pay attention to what you observe during any disagreements or schedule conflicts. They're not merely an inconvenience; you'll see that there are certain flaws in your system of organization, which you can then address and improve. Mercury retrograde can be helpful and productive.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Seemingly small investments in your healing process can pay substantial dividends. You may be a little extra honest with yourself about what you really need today, and you can be responsive to that calling. Pay attention to what seems to happen by pure chance or serendipity.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Small discoveries can teach you a lot. Observing yourself in seemingly routine moments can reveal the changes you need to make, and point you on a path of healing and awakening. Be vigilant the next few days and life will offer you many precious lessons and brilliant ideas.
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.

This reading is designed to work for anyone with Leo Sun, Leo rising and even Leo Moon -- and makes an amazing gift.  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.
Attention Virgo: Just one day after Monday's exciting total solar eclipse, the Sun moves into your sign -- bringing that energy signature front and center into your life, while it's still fresh. Its effects will continue to reverberate and develop for months to come, interacting with a whole host of astrology central to your year ahead. Eric will be covering all the most compelling areas of your life in your upcoming 2017 Virgo Birthday Reading: relationships, career, creativity, family, healing and more. You're invited to pre-order it now, while it's at its lowest discounted price.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- If a close partner says or does something that seems to disrupt your flow or self-confidence, take it in stride. There's a silver lining, even if you're discovering it in an annoying way. Someone may be right about something you don't understand, and that will serve as useful information.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- When you're coordinating others, you must be sensitive to all views, particularly the ones you don't agree with. Those who are annoying, irritating or disruptive can be potent messengers, and while they have to be managed, you will benefit from listening to their ideas; edit to suit your needs.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- If you tune into your feelings today, you'll make a discovery that's inaccessible through ordinary conversation or even by logic. If you feel a little jolt of awareness about something, an idea what to do or even a moment of regret, pause and pay attention to what that's telling you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You have big plans, though you must factor in the needs of a partner or lover. That doesn't mean altering your overall scheme, though it does mean listening and being sensitive to the needs of someone who cares about you and may depend on you. A little listening will go a long way.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- If the conversation with a partner or loved one takes an unexpected turn, go with the flow. A disruption or jolt could be the thing you need to bring the discussion to a fully honest level. This counts for double where sex or money is concerned. Being real has its rewards.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Some of your most important relationships involve the work that you do. People tend to put these relationships second to their romantic involvements, though for you, they are equally vital; and you tend to care deeply about your coworkers or employees. Take care of them.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If you get a spontaneous idea for either a creative project or a financial maneuver, it's probably the right thing. You'll want to test it out for a while first, and develop it into something more evolved. Yet the seed at the core is going to remain essentially the same.
