Looking Beyond the Devil in the Details

Dear Friend and Reader:

By now, whatever emotional energy peak you may have experienced with the Full Moon should be dissipating. And while you still might feel a little foggy or unsure about certain situations (thanks to Neptune's lingering influence), at least the mental shenanigans of Mercury are slowly beginning to sort themselves out. 'Easy does it' is still the mantra du jour, though.

That might even go double for any unexpected pieces of information that came to you as Mercury stationed direct Tuesday morning.

As Mercury traces its way back through the degrees of the zodiac where it was just retrograde, see if you can follow the trail of breadcrumbs back from whatever you've been reflecting on or reviewing.

Even though Mercury is returning to the same slice of zodiac where it was on Aug. 12, all of the other planets have shifted (whether slightly or dramatically). Don't be surprised if, as you follow your breadcrumb trail back, you find yourself in a slightly different place, with slightly -- or dramatically -- different self-understanding or insight.

Saturday, Sept. 9, Mercury re-enters Virgo at 10:52 pm EDT (2:52 UTC Sunday), in direct motion. Waiting for it just inside the doorstep are the hypothetical point Transpluto at 2 degrees Virgo, and Mars at 4 degrees Virgo.

If Your Birthday is Sept. 8
(The Day of the Puzzling Purist) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may feel tremendous energy and confidence, yet some uncertainty at what direction you really want to be going. Your astrology describes a scenario where you’ll need to rely on your intuition. Yet the more honest with yourself you are, the more effectively you will orient yourself. Acknowledge what you know; use what you know; never pretend not to know.

Written in the Planets
Although the sky looks relatively quiet today as far as major, exact aspects go, that does not mean nothing is happening. For example, tomorrow the Virgo Sun makes a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. Although this aspect does not make contact with the recent eclipse degree, you can still think of it as one more way the universe is conspiring to help you move your life forward in ways you've recently become aware you need to pursue. Sun trine Pluto speaks of transformative energies you can tap into for your benefit. The key is to look within to discover what you need to do to evolve upward. Acting ruthlessly or selfishly is a sure way to drag yourself down in the long run.

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 8, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You may feel tremendous energy and confidence, yet some uncertainty at what direction you really want to be going. Your astrology describes a scenario where you’ll need to rely on your intuition. Yet the more honest with yourself you are, the more effectively you will orient yourself. Acknowledge what you know; use what you know; never pretend not to know. You share a birthday with Bernie Sanders, Ruby Bridges, and Pink.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You will need to attend to the details without getting lost in them. The thing to get lost in is your own experience of making something for its own sake, for yours, or to serve a special purpose. Infuse your work with meaning that comes from your blood and your bones.

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 close to solving the riddle of self-confidence. One time-honored method of getting there is by being honest with yourself about what you know, how you feel and who you are. This isn’t the stretch that it may seem in your imagination. You don’t have to do anything except admit what is so.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- If you’ve ever wanted to be completely transparent with someone special or with the whole world, your solar chart describes a rare opening to do so. What you may intuitively sense and yet somehow doubt is the delicate pleasure of revealing yourself. You’ve discovered before that vulnerability is amazing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You may be wondering how it’s possible that things are going so well, though really, your attitude toward life is the key to your success. Optimism is not a weakness. It’s the willingness to envision and work toward the outcome best for you and those you care about the most.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- If you relax, particularly about money, you will attract all kinds of good things into your life. Abundance comes in many forms; financial wealth is just one of them, and while it can buy many things, happiness is not one of them. Respect, appreciation and love will light your way.

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.

Virgo Birthdays 2017:

Find Your Passion for Growth

"If you're getting the message to grow and to become, find your passion for growth. Passion means feeling, beauty, angst, love, confusion, pain and discovery: the things you discover in every meaningful endeavor."
-- Eric Francis Coppolino in the 2017 Book of Your Life reading for Virgo

Dear Reader with Virgo Sun, Rising or Moon:

What messages to "grow and become" did you receive between the two August eclipses? Are you still trying to figure that out, or maybe planning your next steps?

Recent weeks have been interesting and intense for just about everyone, though it's possible they've felt especially curious for you.

This Tuesday, you had the unique experience of your ruling planet, Mercury, stationing direct in the same cryptic, hidden-away section of your chart where the total solar eclipse occurred on Aug. 21. All of it comes together to begin your next year in dynamic ways -- ways that will ripple out and develop in the months to come, aided by other significant astrology in the process. For example, major planets are gearing up to change signs (among other things).

Eric will get into all of this and more in your upcoming 2017-18 Virgo Birthday Reading.

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

Created to help you steer through the next 12 months and beyond, Eric presents the two astrology segments (at least 30 minutes each) and tarot reading in accessible, inviting language. He'll offer motivation and inspiration for all the challenges and opportunities you may encounter in your intimate relationships, family structure, career, creativity, spiritual and sexual healing and much more.

"You guide but also ask the listener to engage with their lives. Humans don't just get transformation for free and you are very precise in telling us where to look."
-- Shelley Stearns

How will you activate your potential and passion to grow and become? You can start by pre-ordering your Virgo Birthday Reading -- at the lowest price we offer: just $33 for some of the clearest, most immediately useful astrology you can find on the internet.

Note that the price of the reading will increase before the full reading publishes, and then will increase again.

May Mercury smile upon you in all that you do.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- It’s been a turbulent few weeks, though you’re starting to get a grip. Mostly you’ve discovered there’s no point pretending that what you know is true is somehow false. Now you seem to be in hot pursuit of inner discovery, which is a great way to remind yourself you’re really alive.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- It’s worth asking yourself how much of what you perceive in others is really projection -- that is, your ideas about yourself, applied to them. This is true whether they’re friendly thoughts or not, though pay special attention to the darker shades. Listen to yourself, and observe what you want to change.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- There’s been unusual activity in the career angle of your solar chart these days, and it’s gradually working itself out. You still need to be cautious, particularly where it comes to offering too much information, particularly in your professional life. You can be a little more reticent to speak.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- This will be a productive weekend with the beneficial effects carrying over into next week. The key to tapping this energy is to apply yourself gently, persistently and over time. Don't try to get it all done at once, nor be daunted by the territory you must cover. Just stick with your task.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Luck is on your side, though only if you think so. Keep a positive outlook, and keep your eyes and ears open for those who are presenting an occasion to help or opportunity to get involved. Big breaks often come in small ways, such as any chance to establish yourself with someone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you're one those Aquarians who is laid back about money and who throws the bills in a shoe box and forgets about them till the reminder comes in, you might want to tidy up your paperwork. Stay current on your accounts and keep your desk in order. It will save you hassles.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Relationships are the source of nonstop drama in most people's lives, particularly those born under the romantic, sensitive sign of the fishes. Yet this in itself does not bring fulfillment, and you might ask what's the source of all the intrigue. It's mostly about what you don't say.
