"I can't -- I can hardly sleep. I can hardly do anything else but write about this because this is the time to be an artist. This is the time to be alert. This is the time to have all my senses in Olympic training mode. Because we -- if we are not going to speak into this wind, this particular dangerous times 10 wind, then we are not artists."
-- Nikky Finney
September 2017 Horoscope for Virgo by Eric Francis Coppolino
When Mercury, your ruling planet, stations direct on Sept. 5, it does so in the exact same degree as the now-infamous total solar eclipse that happened on Aug. 21. The eclipse created an opening, and now you're about to find out what was really going on. This will, perhaps, take the rest of the month, because you'll need to integrate a discovery that you may find quite unbelievable. The odd bits include how what you figure out was right where you could have seen it all along; and then, how you'll have to consciously make sense of the discovery. What's actually happening is that your mind is opening up in a way that's never happened before. You're becoming more sensitive to an inner source of information, which you can depend upon implicitly. Said another way, you are changing; the structure of your psyche is changing; you are, in truth, a much larger being than you ever imagined. Practicing using these skills, and being this person, will build your confidence in ways you've never imagined possible. The way that a shamanic teacher might phrase things, you're entering into a new relationship to the vast unknown, which you contain. You must stand in a conscious relationship to the mystery of your existence. Let it be what it is, without the need to 'solve' or even resolve anything.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 26
(The Day of the Supportive Partner) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may feel like what you're thinking is so obvious, everyone should be able to read your mind. However, you're more opaque than you may feel, and you would do well to explain yourself. Make it plain to others what you've got on your mind. As you do this, you'll figure it out for yourself; a method of growth which will serve you brilliantly.
Written in the Planets
On the one hand, Mercury conjunct the Sun in Virgo today suggests an ability to express your more service-oriented (and most detailed) ideas -- even with Mercury retrograde. (Don't be surprised if you find yourself taking a cue from the past, perhaps revised, to apply today.) On the other hand, Mars in Leo is making a potentially combustible grand fire trine with sister Eris in Aries and Ixion in Sagittarius. This a reminder that -- no matter how noble you think your intentions -- it's essential to keep your actions ethical and transparent. Check your motives carefully, as well as your M.O. Asking someone for feedback could be key.
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 the recent eclipse will keep rippling out and developing through the next six to twelve months -- and Eric's 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 26, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You may feel like what you're thinking is so obvious, everyone should be able to read your mind. However, you're more opaque than you may feel, and you would do well to explain yourself. Make it plain to others what you've got on your mind. As you do this, you'll figure it out for yourself; a method of growth which will serve you brilliantly. You share a birthday with Mother Teresa, Melissa McCarthy and Chris Pine.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Never, ever be intimidated by your own talent. Just forget it. That also goes for your beauty, your intelligence and your willingness to dare. These personal qualities are your best friends, and you have them in abundance right now. You're good enough to go the distance, if you dare.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Venus changing signs today looks like someone you love is coming to visit. You might keep an extra bottle of wine and some snacks on hand in case of an unexpected party. You could also plan the party intentionally, and send out a few invitations. Emphasize quality, as in small and intimate.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, about to make a conjunction to the Sun. This will have the effect of setting you free from something you may not have known was snagging you. Be sensitive to what you remember about your past, and let any feelings bubble to the surface and drift off.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You're in such a beautiful phase of self-discovery that you may be discovering what that actually means. You have an inner life, an inner being and indeed a world you contain. This is about your soul and your precious mind -- not the internet, and not entertainment. Your world, on your terms.
Leo Eclipse and Beyond
On Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse in Leo signaled 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), your birthday reading will cover 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.

You're invited to pre-order it now, while it's at its lowest discounted price.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Today and tomorrow, the Sun and Mercury make a conjunction in your sign. The personal discovery this describes is about how you're not really so strange. Or, more accurately, you can be as unusual as you want and still be acceptable, as long as you speak a language that others understand.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Venus, your ruling planet, has entered Leo, meaning that the greatest benefits of life come through your friends and your community. What you receive will come in proportion to what you offer to people, which is another way of saying be real and share yourself. Give it all you've got.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Today's astrology will go a long way toward boosting your confidence. You may be tempted to make a personal statement that seems daring or inappropriate, though what you're likely to find is that you're a voice for the people. Never, ever be afraid of your own thoughts. Be confident enough to speak up.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- This is a good day to make a decision that you know is the right thing, but which others may feel is controversial. Assuming you've thought things through and considered the potential implications, and are within your authority, you can exercise an option that others will need to accept.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Not everyone is thrilled when they see someone else succeed, though those are important people to avoid. They're betraying themselves and would not hesitate to betray someone else. Surround yourself with positive people, and treat them as your equals. Learn just how they see the world, and why.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
You might feel inclined to move forward with your plans, though not say much about it. For now, that looks like a good idea. You're still working out certain details and are uncertain how partners or loved ones will respond. Eventually, though, you will have to reveal the facts and how you feel.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The light is about to shine through a relationship, revealing something you have never noticed before. Remember that, because as the following few days approach, you might not have such an advantage; but what you observed today is no less true or valid. In fact, it's the one thing to remember.
