"Melancholic and lovable is the trick, right? You've got to be able to show that you have these feelings. In the game of life, you get these feelings and how you deal with those feelings. What you do when you are trying to deal with a melancholy. A melancholy can be sweet. It's not a mean thing, but it's something that happens in life -- like autumn."
-- Bill Murray

If Your Birthday is Sept. 21
(The Day of Current Taste) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
So often, it seems that how we feel about ourselves depends on how intimate partners, friends and the wide world feel about us. The key to true emotional freedom is to liberate yourself from this and, in the process, to feel good about yourself all the time. This calls for detachment and self-awareness, which open the potential for a whole different kind of love.

Written in the Planets
As the saying goes, "Divide and conquer." Set two groups at loggerheads, and you can gain power over them both. This tactic is being applied to its height in these turbulent days; yet, as aspects from Mercury and the Sun imply, you need not fall for it. As Eric has said in recent pieces, try to find common ground instead. We are all human beings; that's somewhere to start. We only have the one planet. Furthermore, we are a social species and we depend on each other. This is unfashionable thinking; yet it's the truth, and the more people are willing to admit it, the better.

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 21, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

So often, it seems that how we feel about ourselves depends on how intimate partners, friends and the wide world feel about us. The key to true emotional freedom is to liberate yourself from this and, in the process, to feel good about yourself all the time. This calls for detachment and self-awareness, which open the potential for a whole different kind of love. You share a birthday with Leonard Cohen, Stephen King, and Taral Hicks.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Be generous of heart today, which will include assisting others when you have the chance. You might decide to do something that’s not your job, just because you can. Monitor your stress level. Ease off on the effort if you feel any strain. It’s preferable to help people help themselves.

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) -- Over the next few days, you might be concerned that some of your behavior or decisions are self-destructive. It’s always good to monitor one’s relationship to alcohol. That said, in order to make any real progress in life, love or art, one must experiment, burn some fuel and make some mistakes.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- If you feel called to take your space, then by all means do so. Don’t worry if this also feels a little lonely; you may need to isolate yourself somewhat despite that, because you’re working through so much. Keep your focus inward and you will make some significant self-discoveries.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You’re probably far less conservative than certain members of your family who influenced you. By that I mean you are more trusting, more generous, and more willing to appreciate where your fellows are coming from, without judging them. Don’t let anyone’s fear or stinginess deter you.

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) -- You may be discovering that you’re walking a fine line emotionally. You may feel strong and positive one moment, and self-critical in the next. Learning compassion for yourself is one of the most meaningful lessons of your whole life. Set that as a goal, and keep practicing. You’ll get it.

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,

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You’re learning to be more generous with yourself. That might involve directing more of your resources toward what gives you pleasure, though really it’s about giving yourself the benefit of the doubt. You know more than you think, and must prove yourself far less than you think.

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) -- You’re usually a social person; but you don’t have to be, if you don’t feel up to it. You might want to focus on one important discussion with a family member, something that’s been brewing for a while. You can use your impressive power of diplomacy to help resolve a persistent issue or question.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Celebrate your vulnerability rather than running from it. You will feel lighter, gentler and more liberated. In fact, the world is a treacherous place, though responding with defenses piled on defenses will not get you anywhere. You can, at least, be open to yourself. Then you can step out the door.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Sometimes in one’s professional life, the aspects of work you love the most can get set aside for more practical goals. Today, bring your focus back to what you absolutely love about what you do. The nuts and bolts stuff has momentum and, for now, mostly consists of tying up loose ends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You’re starting to get the feeling of what’s possible, if you devote yourself to what you want. You seem to be pointed in the right direction. Now, gradually, turn up the energy. And don’t fly below the radar. Stay visible, and make sure people know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You don’t need to be a stickler about anything, or hold people to the specific details of a plan. There’s no need to enforce commitments or live up to anyone’s expectations. Anyway, your first obligation is to yourself; and from there and only there, you can keep the promises you want to keep.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A specific encounter with a specific person is calling you, and you would be wise to focus on that experience. There’s a special gift for you, and the rare opportunity for a certain kind of exchange. That calls for focus, respecting the flow of existence and this unusual season of your life.
