Mercury Direct and the Pisces Full Moon

Dear Friend and Reader:

As you enter this week, remember: much in the astrology is signaling that all may not be as it seems, in one way or another. Thankfully, you should not have to wait long for things to begin shaking out and clarifying. Even so, the theme for this week is taking things slowly and methodically -- while keeping your eyes and ears sharp for unexpected but crucial details.

The overall tone is being set by two major events. The first is Mercury stationing direct in late Leo, in the same degree as the Aug. 21 eclipse, on Tuesday at 7:29 am EDT (11:29 UTC).

The other is the Pisces Full Moon conjunct Neptune on Wednesday, exact at 3:03 am EDT (7:03 UTC).

Either of those events would warrant your attention. Together, they indicate the potential for a mix of emotional uncertainty that's building to a peak, combined with mental turbulence or distraction and a changing of gears (or change of direction). You might find that stressful. However, if you're involved in any kind of creative endeavor -- especially if it does not rely on digital technology -- this astrology could be very useful.

The more you can flow with your vision, muse or immediate environment, the easier things will likely be. Any situation where you must work against a metaphorical tide could prove challenging.

If Your Birthday is Sept. 4
(The Day of the Builder) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It's obvious that you need more interesting, more fulfilling work, and you can create this if you want. You have all the ingredients you need: the talent, the devotion, and the confidence. Yet you may be clinging to familiar patterns, and needing a boost of courage so you can let them go. Only you can give yourself that, by taking action rather than by waiting.

Written in the Planets
Aspects involving Ceres and Jupiter may be suggesting that there is usually a variety of ways to approach a problem, or an opportunity. While Mercury is still in storm phase, it would seem the first step in any scenario is robust data gathering, not to mention fact-checking. Clarity will probably surface eventually; until then, keep your options open and make compassion a guiding principle.

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.

Daily Horoscope for September 4, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

It's obvious that you need more interesting, more fulfilling work, and you can create this if you want. You have all the ingredients you need: the talent, the devotion, and the confidence. Yet you may be clinging to familiar patterns, and needing a boost of courage so you can let them go. Only you can give yourself that, by taking action rather than by waiting. You share a birthday with Damon Wayans, Mark Ronson and Beyonce.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- At a certain point, the only way to find out if a theory is correct is to try it out. When you do, you'll find some aspects work well, some don't work at all and some turn out better than you planned. Yet these are results you can only get from a real-life, real-time experiment.

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) -- It's been nearly a month since certain events shook up your concept of who your friends are, and why they're in your life. When you look around at your current social reality, what has changed? Who surrounds you now, and do you feel more supported? Or do you need to make more adjustments?

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Mercury is at the end of its retrograde today, which may arrive with some pressure or a touch of chaos. What you really have is an opportunity to clear up any obstacles to your success before you move onto bigger and more interesting things. Address the past while it's convenient to do so.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- A financial issue is not as big as it seems, and it may not be a problem at all. You're about to make a discovery that sheds light on an immediate situation, and also helps you unravel a deeply personal matter that was getting in the way of your cash flow. Follow the connections.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You may be struggling to figure out how you're going to handle the logistics of what you need to get done. Make notes in pencil, so you can change your strategy. Over the next day or so, Mercury will change directions and Mars will enter Virgo, which will help your plans fall into place.

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) -- This week's truly extraordinary astrology will facilitate one self-discovery after another. You're likely to be the only one who understands or even recognizes this process for what it is. Growth always comes from the inside out. Pay attention to what you learn, and put it to work immediately.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Do you want certain people to know certain things about you, and others to know different facts? That's interesting, and you might consider why that is. You are one person, with one heart and soul. You are who you are; and when you change and grow, all of you comes along.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Be cautious about all matters of public opinion, however you think of that concept. Mars, the Scorpio planet, will be making some moves this week that urge you to take the views of others with a grain of salt, or sugar, or both. Don't be deterred by critics or other lesser minds.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Take advantage of an opportunity to do something totally new and, in the process, let go of something old. The sky is in a big shuffle right now, and all kinds of interesting possibilities are available. You're one of those fortunate people for whom the unfamiliar has an actual allure.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You might take the occasion to reveal all the relevant facts to a significant other or collaborator, and then see what happens. If they respond in a similarly transparent way, you know you've got someone worth associating with. Secrecy is the one thing that must be counted as intolerable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you look up at night, you'll see that the Full Moon is building, which is guiding you in the direction of a close partnership. There are things you may not understand, and dearly want to know. Be patient over the next 48 hours and see if what emerges helps settle your questions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- One benefit of the current astrology is helping you let go of old mental patterns, the ones that just don't serve you at all. This may involve being selective about who you associate with, and being vigilant against this vile thing psychologists call "groupthink." You're excellent at thinking for yourself.
