Tending New Ground, in a New Way

Dear Friend and Reader:

With each new natural disaster that has swept through the news recently (hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes...) it feels as though the planet is trying to get our attention: no matter how much technological 'progress' we make, it won't matter until we face the damage we do to the Earth, commit to changing harmful behavior patterns, and act to heal the environment -- our home. By healing the environment we can heal ourselves; and the process can also work in reverse.

Interestingly, the astrology now and through the weekend speaks to this dynamic.

And although it may seem to be speaking on an entirely personal level, extrapolating the message to the macro level and applying it to the planet (both environmentally and socially) makes sense. But let's start with the personal.

Tomorrow (Friday), Mercury in Virgo opposes the centaur planet Nessus in Pisces. I wrote this week on Planet Waves that this aspect "looks like a reminder: no matter how logical and rational you think you are, emotionally dysfunctional patterns from the past (including those you've inherited from your parents or grandparents) need to be faced and seen for what they are, and for what they to do to you. Once you can see them, you can begin addressing and disarming them."

It's worth noting that just yesterday, on Wednesday, Mars in Virgo made its own opposition to Nessus. And on Saturday, Mercury and Mars form a conjunction. So this Mercury-Nessus conjunction also has the firepower of Mars behind it.

If Your Birthday is Sept. 15
(The Day of Mastery) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The association of Virgo and service is more than poetic. Those born under your sign come to the Earth with a special mission of making their goodwill available to others. This year, you may fully embody the truth of your role as facilitator, assistant in healing process and one who feeds those who are in some way hungry.

Written in the Planets
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry," as the saying goes. What exactly causes those plans to swerve from the well-plotted course? Sometimes it's external factors we could never have seen or predicted; sometimes it's an existing element we ignored or minimized. Yet, often we undo our best intentions thanks to our own emotional or karmic baggage that we seem programmed to stumble over. Today's opposition between Mercury in Virgo and Nessus in Pisces looks like a reminder: no matter how logical and rational you think you are, emotionally dysfunctional patterns from the past (including those you've inherited from your parents or grandparents) need to be faced and seen for what they are, and for what they to do to you. Once you can see them, you can begin addressing and disarming them.

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 15, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

The association of Virgo and service is more than poetic. Those born under your sign come to the Earth with a special mission of making their goodwill available to others. This year, you may fully embody the truth of your role as facilitator, assistant in healing process and one who feeds those who are in some way hungry. You share a birthday with Fay Wray, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jaki Graham.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You’re learning not to fear the potential negative opinions of others, which is the only thing still selling for less than a dollar a pound. Yet the vital message of any feedback loop is to remember that your words and ideas have impact. Strive for accuracy, honesty and the spirit of love.

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 life after the Great American Eclipse. Order all 12 signs here (recommended), or choose your individual signs.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You’ll grow to love who and what you take care of. This beautiful quality of life is rarely seen for what it is. Look after people and you will love them. Look after the world and you will love it. Look after yourself and you’ll love yourself. This unravels one of the paradoxes of existence.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You know what your priorities are. Mostly they involve taking care of whatever you consider your family to be. I know it always feels like you can never do enough, though give yourself credit for doing quite a bit. At least you care, and you care enough to want to make a difference.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- If you have food, you’re doing rather well for our planet; and if you have enough food to share with others, you have a form of wealth. Keep your ambitions simple and down to Earth, focused on real needs, even if greed and panicking over nothing are a way of life shared by many.

This is a unique year for you, Leo. The biggest events, of course, were the recent total solar eclipse in Leo and its companion lunar eclipse in your relationship house (Aquarius). But that pair of events was only the beginning -- and Eric designs each Birthday Reading to cover all your most pivotal astrology well into next year.

Are you navigating changes in your relationships or family paradigm? Do you find yourself at a career crossroads? Are you seeking clarity, encouragement and new perspectives on your creativity, self-esteem, sexuality or healing process? You'll find ideas and reassurance in this reading.

"I have just listened to your Part 1 and Part 2 readings and I am amazed at how accurate it has been. Like you have a telescope watching me shed a skin and transform into a totally changed person in the last 10 years."
-- Pauline Jones

Your reading is now priced at $44 and the first part is currently available for immediate access; so you'll want to order your 2017 Leo Reading very soon -- definitely before the price increases again. This reading is designed to work for anyone with Leo Sun, Leo rising and even Leo Moon -- and makes an amazing gift.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- The time to have faith in yourself is when things are uncertain or a little chaotic, like maybe right now. You can trust what’s motivating you. You can trust your intelligence. And you can trust your ability to take care of yourself. This will get you a long way, and already has.

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 recent 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.

On Sept. 5, 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. 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,

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You may feel like the whole planet, or at least a few boroughs, are getting involved in something you’re working on. That may be true, though they only have the influence you allow them. You’re on the right track, and you’re well advised. You don’t have to listen to every Tom, Dick or Harry.

Your 2017-18 Virgo Birthday Reading by Eric will contain insightful and accurate guidance that you can use to understand your personal gifts and ignite your potential. Pre-order your birthday reading now while it's at the lowest price of just $33.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- End the week on a positive note at work. If you’re responsible for others, spend some time listening to their woes. Invest in some kind of meal or snack; your chart has a message about the importance of offering food. If you report to someone, remember they too are human.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Faith is trusting the universe to feed you. That's what's behind the crisis of creativity: will I be able to do what I do the best, and still be able to eat (and feed my family)? When you break it down into such stark terms, the mysticism disappears, and it's an entirely practical matter.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Sex is food. Too bad that it's made all mystical, scandalized and turned into a property right. Nourishment should be simple, yet there are emotions involved. It would be helpful to sort out love from attachment, and the past from the present. Then cook a meal with someone you care about.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Keep reaching for that thing you want, need or yearn for. Follow it, aspire to it, stalk it, or learn how to make it happen, however you must. Let that motivate you all the time. In the end, you may not reach that particular goal; but you'll accomplish plenty else along the way.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you're debating whether the purpose of your life is profits or providing a service, you're having the wrong discussion. You will never be satisfied with merely gaining financially. That would be painfully meaningless for you who are so aware of the human condition. You must do the right thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep your mind on the important tasks at hand over the weekend. You don't need to put in a lot of hours or obsess over a question, but keep your projects simmering actively, and follow inspiration when it comes. Something that seems annoying may prove to be incredibly valuable.
