An Unusual Virgo New Moon

Dear Friend and Reader:

At the core of this week's astrology is the Virgo New Moon, exact at 1:29 am EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 20. Can you believe it's been a month since the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse? And quite a month it's been, as superstorms have wiped the infrastructure off of whole islands, and have rearranged much of Florida and Texas.

Barred spiral galaxy -- in this case, an artist's image of the Milky Way.

The Virgo New Moon is a high-impact event, if you measure by the many aspects it makes to slow-moving planets and deep-space points, particularly the Galactic Core.

The Moon and Sun form their conjunction in an opposition to Chiron. The is the last of seven Sun-Chiron oppositions during Chiron's run through Pisces, which began in 2010. So it's the first of several send-offs to this phase of history, as Chiron gets ready to enter Aries.

The message here seems to be about understanding the purpose and the impact of our relationships. The purpose must, on some level, involve healing. The impact could be anything, though it's essential to remember that it exists. Our relationships are the primary way that we teach one another, and define our reality. For its part, Chiron in Pisces has offered a thread of reality though a decade of ever-increasing human indulgence in fantasy.

If Your Birthday is Sept. 18
(The Day of Internal Mystery) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may have learned to make healing the top item on your personal agenda. It's the one thing that makes every other thing possible. This is particularly true where your relationships are concerned. It's essential to allow others to have an impact on you, which means learning how to feel safe being vulnerable. That's the golden ticket to a satisfying life.

Written in the Planets
The movements of Vesta and the Sun today suggest the importance of channeling your energies using compassion and empathy. Devotion is a powerful force; it's important to make sure this kind of strength is applied to a cause that heals rather than harms. At an everyday level, remember that the outcome of even the smallest ethical dilemma can have a ripple effect, both outward and inward. That is to say: every decision you face is really an opportunity to offer service or aid in your unique capacity.

In the Shadow of the Moon, the exciting 2017 Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, is now published. Although the video readings for all 12 signs use the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21 as a starting point, Eric develops the themes through some of the most important astrological events you'll encounter in the remainder of 2017 and 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 18, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You may have learned to make healing the top item on your personal agenda. It’s the one thing that makes every other thing possible. This is particularly true where your relationships are concerned. It’s essential to allow others to have an impact on you, which means learning how to feel safe being vulnerable. That’s the golden ticket to a satisfying life. You share a birthday with Greta Garbo, James Gandolfini, and Aisha Tyler.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You may feel like it’s impossible to stick to one task today, though there’s something to be said for moving from project to project all day. If that’s what you’re doing, then go with it, unless of course you have a specific deadline. If so, focus, and knock it out of the park.

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) -- Sometimes the most daring approach is by the numbers and to the letter: you follow a protocol exactly, just to see what happens. If something goes wrong, you can always blame the instructions. More likely, you’ll get ideas for how you can take an original, though sensible, approach.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You will need to keep your temper cool, and walk away from any struggles or fights, lest you light a fire you cannot contain. It’s clear that something is bothering you, though you must figure out what that is before acting on your emotions in harmful or even destructive ways.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You’re in touch with a depth of personal reality that’s potentially so powerful, you must acknowledge it fully. That’s action enough for now. You don’t need to make any final decisions or move in a lurch. You only need to honor your own truth, and persist in your quest to go deeper.

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 we've just published it in full; 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) -- Practice being the measure of your own respect and status in the world. You run the risk of reasoning or arguing yourself out of existence, when you could just as well be yourself, accept yourself and assert your intentions. You know what matters to you; and that is indeed what makes the difference.

Your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric is now complete and available for instant access. 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. This Wednesday, Sept. 20, brings a powerful Virgo New Moon directly opposite Chiron. 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 gets into all of this and more in your 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 ordering your Virgo Birthday Reading -- recently published and currently at just $44 for some of the clearest, most immediately useful astrology you can find on the internet.

May Mercury smile upon you in all that you do.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- As a Virgo, one of your primary life missions is to be less critical of yourself. Yet you can go further, and experiment with genuine self-affirmation. To do this, you must be forgiving of yourself and the people who have hurt you. You’re not doing this for their sake, but for your own.

Your 2017-18 Virgo Birthday Reading by Eric contains insightful and accurate guidance that you can use to understand your personal gifts and ignite your potential. Order your birthday reading now and get instant access.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Activity in one of the most sensitive angles of your chart may be stirring up your anxieties and your self-doubt. One approach is to let this pass, which it will soon enough; and another is to carefully observe your thoughts and notice what you think -- without any judgment at all.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Developments of one month ago may be coming up for review and reassessment. Make sure you do an honest job of it. Take your time, and look for what may need another think-through. Be on the lookout for what you’ve left incomplete, and do what you can from there.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- There are times when you have to push important projects or goals along, and today may be one of them. But you can take a gentle approach rather than an aggressive one; people know you mean business. Even if you speak softly, people will hear you loudly, so don’t wear out your vocal cords.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- There are many ways to look at a question you’re contemplating, though this seems like a spiritual matter. It’s something on the level of ‘the meaning of life’, and more significantly, how you choose from among your options. See those options first, and then practice making decisions. Even small ones count.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Something you learned earlier in the summer is reminding you of its significance. You made a discovery that shaped your ideas about relationships and commitment. There are some things you simply cannot abide, and some that you must admit you both want and need.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- People may come at you with strong opinions today; and you must keep your cool, and meet them with true empathy. That means being responsive without being reactive. It means listening carefully and then giving yourself as much time as you need to reply in any way. There is no rush.
