If Your Birthday is Aug. 24
(The Day of Astute Examination) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must stick to the task at hand to get things done, though be cautious of what psychologists call "over focus." Keep a wide perspective, and many sources of information flowing in your direction. This will serve to challenge your pre-existing ideas and beliefs, and take you past the viewpoint of your parents. You have a long way to go, and that's a good thing.
Written in the Planets
Breaking habitual response patterns is easier said than done. However, aspects involving Mercury and Venus today could well be of assistance in doing just that. If you find yourself returning to a thought or action that might have resulted from early programming, pause and consider precisely what led to it; you may discover an alternative recourse in the process that proves to be more helpful all round, and which perhaps you've always wanted to try.
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 signaled 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 24, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You must stick to the task at hand to get things done, though be cautious of what psychologists call "over focus." Keep a wide perspective, and many sources of information flowing in your direction. This will serve to challenge your pre-existing ideas and beliefs, and take you past the viewpoint of your parents. You have a long way to go, and that's a good thing. You share a birthday with Betty Dodson, Stephen Fry and Dave Chappelle.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Let your energy out. You'll know you're doing this because, suddenly, you may feel like you're running into a headwind. The resistance is the thing you want. It's a reminder that you're really in an unfamiliar place, and are willing to meet the challenge of being there. Fly into the turbulence.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- If you focus on one specific task or idea for a while, you'll discover something, which will lead to the next one. That may seem like a sidetrack or diversion, though it's more likely to be the thing you really want to do. So just start somewhere, get into your work, and follow the treasure trail.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You seem to be working yourself free from an emotional paradox that may have seeds in negativity imposed on you when you were much younger. Yet it also may spring from an experience of an ancestor. It may not be your problem, which would shift how you address it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Your thinking, communications and day-to-day affairs may not be proceeding in a straightforward direction, though you will take some meaningful segues. As the artist's artist Brian Eno once wrote, "Honor thy error as hidden intent." If you take a wrong turn, just keep going, and see where you arrive.
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."

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) -- Mercury is your planet, though only rarely is it retrograde in your sign. This is a review phase, most significantly calling for a reassessment of your professional goals. The question, "What do you want to be?" really translates to, "Who do you want to be?" which really means: "Who are you?"
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- The Moon in your sign today is giving you solid contact with your intuition, which will help you evaluate an idea someone is presenting to you. If something feels off, or if you can't quite say yes, honor that. If your body is pulling you in a certain direction, follow along.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- To make the most of your potential, allow yourself to be drawn in unfamiliar directions. Do things that you're not good at, and learn as much as you can. Experiment with different ways of managing your affairs and coordinating the people around you. Experience not knowing as a source of strength.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Take a broad-minded approach to any situation that has an impact on others. Get their opinions, and consider carefully the ones that repel you the most. Strong leaders need a few people nearby who disagree with them. You don't have to do what anyone says, though you must listen carefully.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You may get an intuitive message to try something bold, or to speak to someone you consider influential. Will you take the chance? Will you be able to rise above your hesitation and make a move? What have you got to lose? It would seem, nothing. At worst, you'll learn something.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Once you embrace that the whole universe is in motion, this becomes a dependable factor you can work with. You will see potentials that you'd missed before; you will understand that you are bigger than your ideas about yourself. More is possible than you've ever dreamed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take advantage of a financial situation that's currently working in your favor and plan for the future. This takes discipline but not as much as you think. There are people who depend on what you have to offer, and you can count on them for as long as they can count on you.
