Hurricane Harvey: Call it What it Is

Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
-- Jackson Browne

Dear Friend and Reader:

This is a good week to appreciate the dry roof over your head and the food in your refrigerator. Now is the perfect time to appreciate, truly appreciate, that you have a home to come home to: that you have a dry bed, and that your people and pets are close to you. Be grateful for the toilet that flushes, the electricity coming out of the wall, and the privilege of having a toaster and some bread to put in it.

Estimates that 30,000 people will be displaced by Hurricane Harvey are woefully understated. Flood damage is insidious.

Unlike a fire, where all the damage is up front, a flood is a continuously unfolding disaster that gets worse with time. Damage, loss and injuries continue for months.

The mold grows and grows, until it's stopped. The extent of renovation required after a building is submerged in water is more than most people can afford, if the home or business is even salvageable. I know this from personal experience. The first-ever Planet Waves office, in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, was destroyed by Hurricane Floyd weeks after the previous famous total solar eclipse in Leo, the Aug. 11, 1999, grand cross event. This featured mandatory evacuation and rescue by the Fire Department with a guide rope across the front yard, which was turned into a brisk river.

Before I move on to the week's news and astrology, which has deep personal and transpersonal impact, please take note of our listing of animal rescue groups serving the Houston area. We received all of these references from Planet Waves readers. Please donate as generously as you can. Animals always pay for the failings and shortcomings of people, and they're our best friends. We've just added one rescue group devoted to horses.

If Your Birthday is Sep. 1
(The Day of No Nonsense) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
There's no use keeping secrets from yourself. It's not even possible, though you really do need to know whatever it might be you would try to tuck away -- and you're about to find out. What exactly? We're talking about the discovery of what you want. This is more like an admission to yourself, which will have a way of setting you free.

Written in the Planets
Although the trine between Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries is not exact until tomorrow, it is definitely in effect now. Essentially, this is just one of the early ripples that picks up on the recent total solar eclipse, since Mars will be in the eclipse's degree. This aspect is excellent for personal growth and self-discovery that comes through breaking with routines, shedding inhibitions, unexpected encounters and taking desired risks. What's lighting you up in positive ways today?

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 September 1, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

There's no use keeping secrets from yourself. It's not even possible, though you really do need to know whatever it might be you would try to tuck away -- and you're about to find out. What exactly? We're talking about the discovery of what you want. This is more like an admission to yourself, which will have a way of setting you free. You share a birthday with Barry Gibb, Al Green and Gloria Estefan.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Sometimes to make the right decision on a business or professional matter, you must act alone, and often against the opinions of close associates. There are certain things where you're simply the best judge. Just make sure you get those other viewpoints first, and consider them carefully.

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) -- As you're seeing, you must take some risks to experience yourself as fully alive. It's too easy to stick to your routines, get the occasional minor thrill and persist in the life you know. It's only slightly more challenging to think an original thought or to try something you've never considered before.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Over the next few days, your ruling planet Mercury changes direction; this happens when the retrograde phase ends on Sept. 5. Between now and then, pay special attention to resolving past details, figuring out where your collaborators are at, and sizing up what you've learned in recent weeks.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- If someone close to you is directing intense energy at you, you can sidestep it, or you can engage them directly. You might take the direct approach, because there's a gift in there for you. Remember that you set the tone of your environment; that's how potent your emotions are.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Events of the next few days will reveal just what, exactly, was going on around the time of the Aug. 21 eclipse in your birth sign. There was plenty you missed in all the whirlwind and fray. The details and the deeper layers of meaning will begin to come out; keep an open mind.

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're born under one of the signs most closely associated with anxiety. The motion of Mercury and Mars this week may be stirring up your worries, though within a week you'll figure out that everything was in your mind. There's an important lesson in here. Don't miss it.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You're not as alone as you may feel, though you're the one who must come out of your shell. Rather than count on people coming to you, consider being the one who makes the first move and goes to them. In the end, this is a question about allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Pay particular attention to your professional affairs over the next week. A diversity of aspects pick up where last month's world-famous eclipse left off. You have some unusual opportunities to move up in the world, and you could also make some mistakes, though they're avoidable.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- The Sun moving through the most visible angle of your chart is encouraging you to stand out, stand tall and shine brightly. It's also the time to take care of the details rather than leaving them to anyone else, or to chance. This will remain true. It's your reputation. Take care of it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You'll need to be careful where financial matters are concerned, particularly where partnerships or investments of any kind are involved. Above all, don’t make any snap decisions. You may have a point of view, though you're working with incomplete information. Many variables are at play.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Whether things are going beautifully or dismally in your relationships, everything and everyone around you is in motion. So there's no use clinging to any one way that things are. All in all, honesty will be the best policy and you will have many opportunities to open up. Do so lovingly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's up to you to keep communication clear, both in personal and professional relationships. Through the weekend and into next week, be sure to spot misunderstandings before they go out of control. You will need to keep a wide perspective, and think for everyone else.
