If Your Birthday is Aug. 21
(The Day of the Standout) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As you know by now, your birthday falls on the day of the astrological event of the 21st century (so far). So it's a time to ask big questions, such as: if you could do anything with your life, what would you do? Don't worry whether you think it's possible. Skip the details and stick to the vision or, better, where you feel yourself pulled on a cellular level. Go that way.
Written in the Planets
Well, it's here! The big day. The one we've all been waiting for. Understandably, you might be feeling a little bit tense; so probably rule number one for today is to take it easy and let the energy flow. Remember that Mercury is retrograde, so if matters are not entirely clear, try to be patient and allow them to unfold. It's OK if your personal experience of the eclipse is more subtle and personal than all the hype suggests. Don't forget Eric's advice about doing something meaningful that you love, as well.
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 21, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
As you know by now, your birthday falls on the day of the astrological event of the 21st century (so far). So it's a time to ask big questions, such as: if you could do anything with your life, what would you do? Don't worry whether you think it's possible. Skip the details and stick to the vision or, better, where you feel yourself pulled on a cellular level. Go that way. You share a birthday with Loretta Devine, Carrie-Anne Moss and Usain Bolt.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Simply dare to do what you want to do, and trust whatever happens next. There's no use speculating about what might go wrong, or how well things might go, since neither of those is likely to happen. Something much better is in store, though you can only find out in lived reality.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Today's total solar eclipse seems designed to bring to an end all that you're ready to let go of, release or outgrow. Use this power consciously and wisely. Make decisions, say what you have to say, and do what you have to do. New adventures, new friends and new places await you.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You have considerable control over your environment. Yet you'll never know or believe that unless you see it in action. Make a list of everything you want to change, and start making adjustments. Include the minor annoyances and the things that crimp your quality of life. Take charge now.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Way too much fuss is made over money, and it's all a distraction. What matters most is not for sale. What helps you the most comes with no fee attached. Let go of any concern about your finances and tune into who and what is truly meaningful. You have a lot to offer, and to be grateful for.
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.

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) -- Today's total solar eclipse will shake loose many feelings, needs, and things that you've denied over the years. Be grateful that this is happening. Take advantage of a rare opportunity for inner movement, which means freedom from what has troubled you. Let your emotions bubble up, and out.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Today is the long-anticipated "Great American Eclipse." This is likely to signify a change of narrative for the United States, in world affairs and also in a way that's distinctly personal for you. What are your widest, wildest dreams? What do you want the most? That's the thing to focus on.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You're destined to be a person of power and influence, though remember a phrase from the Declaration of Independence: this must only happen with the "consent of the governed." Pay close attention to what the people around you want and need, and consider that information carefully.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Once you set things in motion, there's no going back; though you can be happy about that. Most decisions have this odd way of getting stuck, reversed or waylaid. Be grateful that there is so much momentum behind you. It's been building for years, and now the time is right.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- The time has come for a radical evaluation of how you conduct yourself with others: business affairs, romantic affairs, family affairs, and the many places where they all intersect. It's time for genuine transparency. Secrecy may seem convenient, but that's merely an illusion you're better off without.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Today's infamous total solar eclipse occurs in the angle of your chart associated with relationships and partnerships. You're being summoned to take a new approach, while at the same time being sensitive to the past. Make it your ongoing policy to resolve old conflicts and debts.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today's unusual astrology -- which is serving to bring millions of people together to watch a shadow cast across our continent -- is a reminder that your work is destined to have impact. Do not aspire to fame and fortune; aspire to quality, devotion and the utmost sincerity.
