This Week's Horoscope for Virgo by Eric Francis Coppolino

You're about to experience the most interesting effects of Mercury retrograde and the solar eclipse. Many things come together over the next week, meaning that you'll see patterns you may have entirely missed until now. So, in honor of that you might focus on noticing the way the different elements of your life story form constellations. Who, for example, is appearing from the past, and what are you learning when they show up? Are you carrying around old grievances, or are you letting them go? Don't take your anger too seriously. There is, however, one thing that may actually be troubling you, even though you haven't given it a name yet. If you tap into your deeper anger, you will know it, and that's the time to make a point of resolving the matter. Pay specific attention to any way that parents or parent-figures show up, particularly as those with intractable opinions. Among other things, you simply must be more flexible than that.

If Your Birthday is Aug. 29
(The Day of Structured Action) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may be driven or even obsessed by an idea. This may relate to a personal discovery, a business plan, an invention or a creative project. Still, no matter how much energy you invest in that seemingly external thing, you will be guided again and again into the realm of your inner being. Don't be afraid to go there: self-knowledge is the freedom of who you are.

Written in the Planets
Hanging on to hurts from the past and how they came to be -- especially in relationships -- is rarely an efficient or effective path to healing. But what if you feel like it's impossible to heal your fixation on what happened? Or what if you feel that moving forward, getting your needs met or getting 'justice' can only happen with the help of another person or through some form of relationship? The asteroid Juno in a square to Psyche and Makemake in Libra seems to pose these questions and the tension that goes with them. Retrograde Mercury in Virgo, making a slow trine to Juno, suggests there's a difference between looking within and fixating on the past. The difference being: eventually you integrate what you've discovered and use it to look, think and move forward again.

We've published In the Shadow of the Moon, the exciting 2017 Midyear Reading by Eric Francis. 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 soon, so don't hesitate to order your copy here or choose your individual signs here.

Daily Horoscope for August 29, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You may be driven or even obsessed by an idea. This may relate to a personal discovery, a business plan, an invention or a creative project. Still, no matter how much energy you invest in that seemingly external thing, you will be guided again and again into the realm of your inner being. Don't be afraid to go there: self-knowledge is the freedom of who you are. You share a birthday with Ingrid Bergman, Richard Attenborough and Lenny Henry.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Something verging on authentic spirituality is dawning on you, and in the human experience, this is exceedingly rare. You know that the many details of what you've learned add up to something much bigger than the sum of the parts. You can see around corners, and even glimpse the future.

In the Shadow of the Moon, the exciting new 2017 Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, has just been published. Don't miss this essential guide to the forthcoming Great American Eclipse. Order all 12 signs here, or choose your individual signs.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're your own worst critic. Consider the advice of a theater director who said, "never judge your own performance." You can, however, focus your talent and your devotion, and get the details right. Just know that what the audience feels is the spirit of what you're doing, not your technique.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- While it takes time and often some therapy to set yourself free from negative family patterns, it's worth the investment of time and energy. In the process, you will discover new feelings, new potentials and the desire to liberate yourself from the past. That is actual growth.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to bear down and get busy, though make sure you're tackling the right project. You may be confused, and all you need to do is pause and think about it. Today, anyway, it will help to work from a task list, and to proceed in a logical order. That will save you time and effort.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Continue to focus on the business- and work-related dimension of your relationships, keeping a positive attitude and creative approach. You are currently doing most of the work in collaboration, though the more organized you are, the more others will be in a position to help you.

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.

"Your readings are soothing, grounding and remarkably spot on, especially in times like these. I very much appreciate you and your work." -- Alison

Last week's total solar eclipse is about to be followed by Mercury stationing direct in the same degree. If you're Virgo Sun, Moon or rising, that likely means the effects of the eclipse are still developing for you. What will you make of this profound energy? Your 2017-18 Birthday Reading by Eric Francis will contain insightful and accurate guidance that you can use to understand your personal gifts and ignite your potential.

Your birthday reading will include two audio segments of astrology and an additional Tarot reading -- well over an hour of top-quality interpretation, delivered in a friendly and accessible way.

"I don't think I have read anything so achingly beautiful in my whole life as this Virgo reading."
-- Rev. Jody Lotito Levine

Pre-order your Virgo birthday reading today while it's still at the lowest price. This reading also makes an excellent gift for the Virgo in your life.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You've reached a turning point on an emotional matter connected to your family. You may love and be loyal to them, though it's long past time when you can take their opinion about you as the truth. You inhabit a larger world than they do, and you need a correspondingly larger self-concept.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- The one thing you fear being known about you is the one that will feel the best when you reveal it. This isn't merely about confessing or telling all; you will be making a gesture of claiming your personal power in the form of fearlessly living your truth. Nothing else is actually living.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- There's a trick to taking criticism, which is exploiting it for its informational value. First, you must accept that you and what you do are larger than anyone else's ideas about them. You're the one in the position of creative authority, and you set your own terms. Steal whatever people throw at you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- As a Sagittarian, you're famous for your overarching perspective, and your ability to consider any viewpoint. Then there are those times when you're just not in the mood or when you cannot be bothered. Today more than ever, you'll need to be open-minded and listen. Your success depends on it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- There are times when you just know something. Now may be one of them. The interesting thing is that it may directly contradict something you were certain about only recently. This is a sign of maturity, not of inconsistency. The planets seem determined to teach you how important this is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You can answer your own question; you already know the truth. However, there's a lot more to consider than any one fact or issue. What you need is context. Share where you're coming from with a close partner and ask for their viewpoint. Sleep on it before you decide how you feel.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There are two kinds of healthy leadership: one involves decisions, and the other involves having a vision. Today and for the next few days, emphasize your vision, rather than doing too much deciding. Give people some time to come along. The current Mercury retrograde will have an exciting conclusion.
