From Crisis to Awakening

Dear Friend and Reader:

Once again we begin the week with a national crisis on our hands, born of a global situation: one of the most powerful storms on record has ravaged Caribbean islands and now Florida and, potentially, surrounding states and others as far north as Tennessee.

Larry Kahn, an editor of a news website based in the Florida Keys, was quoted in the Miami Herald Saturday: "Everything is underwater. I mean everything."

As everyone knows, this follows by mere weeks the flooding and storm surges of Hurricane Harvey that devastated the Gulf Coast of Texas, and by a few days a massive earthquake in Mexico.

Wildfires are currently raging in many Western states. Just a few days ago, our beloved friend and editor in Oregon, Carol van Strum, as a forest fire lingered just miles away, was busy figuring out how to load her family of birds and dogs into her truck. We all knew that her donkeys and horses would have to be left behind, should the fire reach her neck of the forest. Thankfully they were all safe. Not everyone was so fortunate.

It is exhausting to be confronted with this kind of news several times a week, endlessly. It may seem that only those at the scene are involved, and for everyone else, these are conceptual events. Yet because we are connected via an extended nervous system, which reaches directly to the scene of every disaster and feeds your eyes and ears, we are in a sense right there.

Daily Horoscope for September 11, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Face any challenges with an open heart and mind, and you’ll turn them into your allies. It will help if you rise above self-defeating mental tendencies, which would make a first-quality psychological and spiritual growth agenda for the year. Happiness is possible, though in this life it’s something that we both earn and learn. You’re motivated to make real changes. You share a birthday with D. H. Lawrence, Harry Connick, Jr., and Ludacris.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- A decision you make today has the power to shape your future. Yet the greatest risk you face is the fear of risk itself. Don’t let your mind play tricks on you. Use logic and consider the worst-case scenario, then estimate the chances of that happening. Then ask what you stand to gain.

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 said that the point of art in any form is to be self-serving. How is it, then, that it makes all of our lives so much better? It’s a special kind of indulgence, where the lure of feeling good leads people to do something of universal importance -- and it turns out that is a pleasant sensation.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You know instinctively that you’re not really trapped. At times it was convincing, but times have changed. You may have believed you needed something urgently, though now your needs have shifted. This is all part of a maturing process, which is another way of saying: growing up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You’ve been rockin’ the whole career thing in ways nobody would have imagined possible. Now is the time to collect, in terms of feeling good about yourself. The money is coming, or will soon enough. The greater challenge and the greater reward come through deep self-acceptance.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Don’t confuse vanity, arrogance or narcissism with self-respect. All of those unsavory mental states are based on the lack of honest respect for oneself, and signal this fact to the whole world. Honoring who you are is a humble experience, it’s subtle and it takes practice.

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
Planet Waves Astrology Editor

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- In the Teachings of Don Juan series of books, the shaman describes ‘certainty’ as one of the enemies of mankind. That’s because the true nature of the universe is change, and certainty is a fixed state of mind, where suddenly things cease to be negotiable. Be open to new information. It will help you.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Be grateful for what your personal struggles have taught you, and resolve that you don’t have to go through them again. Or you don’t if you choose to change the ideas that led you there in the first place. You don’t need to be such a harsh critic or, for that matter, a critic at all.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You may be noticing that certain people around you seem unusually narrow-minded. Don't get caught in this web of seeming intrigue or evaluation of reality. If you do, you may not get out for a while; and you have plenty of positive, productive and helpful things to keep you busy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- The Sun is continuing to lean into Saturn in your sign, giving you a power of focus and concentration that will keep building as the week progresses. Listen to what partners and colleagues suggest, though keep your sense of humor and trust yourself to do the right thing.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You are sitting on a power source. I mean this literally. You have a tap into energy coming out of the ground, and the deeper you plunge in, the more mojo you will draw up and be able to use. To do this, you must be a bit fierce. Your own power must feel a little dangerous.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Certain aspects of your life are more complex than they seem. It's as if you don't know which details to focus on first. The details count, though the bigger scene is what matters much more. What is the direction you want to head in? What goals do you have? Leave your mind wide-open.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You could obsess over personal matters, or you could use the rare energy of the moment to advance some of the professional goals that are dearest to your heart. When you answer your true life-calling, that shifts your personal relationships to others as they respond to your improved self-respect.
