"I have made mysterious Nature my religion. I do not believe that a man is any nearer to God for being clad in priestly garments, nor that one place in a town is better adapted to meditation than another. When I gaze at a sunset sky and spend hours contemplating its marvelous ever-changing beauty, an extraordinary emotion overwhelms me. Nature in all its vastness is truthfully reflected in my sincere though feeble soul. Around me are the trees stretching up their branches to the skies, the perfumed flowers gladdening the meadow, the gentle grass-carpeted earth...and my hands unconsciously assume an attitude of adoration... To feel the supreme and moving beauty of the spectacle to which Nature invites her ephemeral guests!...that is what I call prayer."
-- Claude Debussy

This Week's Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino
You have incredible potential, but have yet to devote to yourself fully. You're driven forward, and at the same time, seem to have an odd attachment to the past, or to your ideas from the past. Step one in rising above your foundations is to recognize this when it happens. Notice when your expectations are specifically based on what you've done before, or what has happened to you before. This is the snag, and it's one that's taken for granted nearly all the time. Yes, it's true that "the past is the best way to predict the future," though that's the thing you must get beyond. If you want to accomplish what is unprecedented, you'll need to do what's never been done. So in a sense, the past becomes the record you plan to break, the mistake you're not going to make again, or the activation of what was previously latent potential. You will like living this way.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 22
(The Day of Seasoned Experience) | Birthday Readings: Leo | Virgo | Others
You will thrive on transparency, which means revealing all the things you are reluctant to say about yourself. The fact that we're stalked and spied upon by our various devices, and reveal certain thoughts on social platforms, does not diminish the human need to be self-revealing, in an honest and entirely self-motivated way. You will feel better about yourself.
Written in the Planets
Whether you were able to see yesterday's total solar eclipse or not, in some way it has effected your life, and will continue to do so for months to come. It's okay if you're not sure what that effect is yet; it may take time to manifest as you continue to work toward your dreams and goals. Today a supportive aspect between Mars in Leo and Saturn in Sagittarius may help give some structure (whether literal or philosophical) to your energy, efforts and desires. Later the Sun enters Virgo, beginning a transitional phase of the current season. What does your current plan serve, and what serves your plan?
In the Shadow of the Moon, the exciting 2017 Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, is now 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? 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 this eclipse 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 22, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You will thrive on transparency, which means revealing all the things you are reluctant to say about yourself. The fact that we're stalked and spied upon by our various devices, and reveal certain thoughts on social platforms, does not diminish the human need to be self-revealing, in an honest and entirely self-motivated way. You will feel better about yourself. You share a birthday with Dorothy Parker, John Lee Hooker and Tori Amos.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may be feeling one thing and doing another. They have much more in common than you might imagine. So set aside the notion that there's some conflict within you, or that you're being pulled in two directions. You are one being, with one authentic desire. Sit with that for a while.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- The beginning of a new phase of your life may not always feel like one. There may be certain details that you have to take care of, and you may need to update your mental and emotional approach to life. Do a little every day; be consistent, and be persistent. Build your new world.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- The single most influential factor in your life is your state of mind. Once you know that, it will make a lot more sense to track your thoughts, your attitudes, and how you respond. The main question is: are you coming from the past, or aware of your actual, present reality?
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You're a little old-fashioned, which serves you well. All the bling and glamour of the world are useless. What counts are sensitivity, intelligence, and a thoughtful approach to relationships and the important tasks at hand. For that, old ideas often serve the best.
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.

You're invited to pre-order it now, while it's at its lowest discounted price.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- After yesterday's eclipse in the most sensitive angle of your chart, it will come as some relief that the Moon is in your sign today. Many things that seemed abstract or disconnected from your reality are now tangible, and you can see and feel them for what they are. Stay in touch with yourself.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Desire may be as close as you ever get to seeing the future. It's a powerful form of visioning, and you must exercise your strength consciously. Do this from the most positive place, and let yourself be motivated by at least one brilliant possibility that you're willing to work for daily.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- In any situation for which you have responsibility -- whether it involves family, your workplace or a community project -- there are old problems that need to be solved. Before forging ahead into new territory, make sure you address the lingering issues that will be easier to solve sooner rather than later.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You may feel as if you're pressing forward with some matters left unresolved. However, you've done what you can for now, and you'll have to let certain things take care of themselves; particularly if they involve something that's been delegated to a partner, assistant or employee.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- If the concept of spirituality means anything, it would start with seeing your own needs as being related to those of everyone else. That's a radical point of view in our "me first and only" era of history; though there are people you care about profoundly, who truly are part of you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Current aspects are reminding you to be extraordinarily thoughtful in your relations with others, particularly financial. There would seem to be old business that you must attend to, for the sake of what is right and true, and for the sake of good karma. Be meticulous and over-generous.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Less is asked of you than you may think, though you must be alert and strong, and hold space for the right thing to happen. That means listening, being observant, and saying the right thing at the right time. Trust that you know the truth; the question is how to make it relevant.
