Great American Eclipse: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Dear Friend and Reader:
Astrology may be the most objective means of studying the world, since it's inherently meaningless. Every experiment needs a control of some kind, and astrology, removed as it is from any known law of cause and effect, provides the perfect null value.
The charts and other tools used by astrologers provide information about the timing of celestial events, but no information whatsoever about their relevance to mundane life, with the exception of information about the seasons changing (good for farming) and the lunar phases (good for hunting and for farming).

We bring all the meaning astrology has, through our stories, myths, observations, speculation and the ability to "read" a chart, which is a different form of reading from reading a book. It's still a form of literacy, though it uses entirely different capacities of the mind. So in this sense, astrology is also the most subjective means of studying the world. We see what we see, and assign meaning as a willful act.
Keeping that in mind, I'm here today to evaluate what has happened in the wake of the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017. This was the first eclipse in U.S. history to move from coast to coast, and where totality was over the American continent itself rather than over the ocean. In a video presentation that came out shortly before the event, astrologer Dale O'Brien gave the history of eclipses that have cast shadows over the United States, and described the timing of what happened in the months after they occurred (a Google search for "Eclipse Paths" and the author's name will get you to the right video).
To sum up Dale's excellent research and presentation, there are always cascades of history-changing events after eclipses touch our country. However, they usually take slightly longer to manifest, around a month to six months.
If you study old astrology textbooks, eclipses (like comets) have a terrible reputation, and are usually associated with pestilences and disasters. Leo eclipses in particular are associated with extreme weather patterns, and Leo itself is associated with flooding events. (Hurricane Floyd, the first of what I would call the global warming hurricanes to arrive in the Northeast, happened right after an unusual Leo total solar eclipse. Hurricanes Rita and Katrina happened shortly after Saturn entered Leo in 2005.)

If Your Birthday is Sept. 22
(The Day of Restless Drive) | Birthday Readings: Virgo | Libra | Others
All good things are possible, if you keep a positive outlook. Negativity is often justified on the basis of being real, though it's just as real to look for the opportunity in every situation, to focus on learning and to see the best in others. Real is what you say is real, and you can take a chance on expressing that in a creative and adventurous way.
Written in the Planets
The Sun enters Libra today, marking the Northern fall equinox (spring in the Southern Hemisphere). The equinoxes are pretty special moments: for this short space of time, day and night are of pretty much equal length anywhere on the planet, energetically linking the whole species together. This is something well worth keeping in mind: at root, our differences are tiny, and our common ground is far more real and substantial. Offer some love to your fellow beings today.
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 22, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
All good things are possible, if you keep a positive outlook. Negativity is often justified on the basis of being real, though it’s just as real to look for the opportunity in every situation, to focus on learning and to see the best in others. Real is what you say is real, and you can take a chance on expressing that in a creative and adventurous way. You share a birthday with Michael Faraday, Andrea Bocelli and Billie Piper.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Big changes are coming, and you’ll get a taste of them today. Some of the most positive outcomes will happen when you least expect them, such as when something seems to go wrong. Take the chance to reassess your situation and ask yourself if there’s a better way to do things.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Several different factors in your solar chart are encouraging you to stretch your limits and even attempt the impossible. If you proceed in a spirit of adventure and respect for life, you can do that safely and with interesting results. Make a personal policy of learning from everything and everyone.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Cultivating self-esteem can take some work. Most of that involves learning how to be emotionally independent. You seem ready to let go of certain emotional or family ties that were not serving your happiness. Ultimately this will strengthen you and your relationships. It’s challenging at first, and it gets easier.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Notice how abundant you are: you always have a little extra to share, whether it’s food, space in your home, or the love and appreciation of others. The more you’re aware of this, and the more you offer yourself, the safer and happier you will feel. And you’ll set a helpful example to others.
Leo, Virgo Birthday Readings Complete
Dear Friend of Planet Waves:
If what we're seeing in the wake of the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse is any indication of how influential it was, astrology is alive and kicking in your personal world. I've spent the last couple of days finishing the Leo and Virgo birthday readings, and I want you to know they're available.
They are also somewhat late, though this has been a work ethic issue: I don't do this kind of sensitive reading when I'm in any way stressed, unrested, or distracted. That time finally arrived Friday and Saturday, and these readings are now available.
We are in the midst of extraordinary astrology: we're living in the wake of so much that's happened, so much that is happening now, and so much coming up. You need all the information you can get.
Having access to sensitive and accurate astrological keys is a direct advantage. You know the psychic weather when you know the astrology. I work in both the personal and the transpersonal, describing certain inner developments in your life, as well as developments in the world around you -- and then I describe where the two meet.
I work in human language, using astro-lingo only as necessary. My message is designed to be both positive and informative: while I'm a pretty good astrologer, I am an even better motivational speaker. I believe in your potential, and I am honored and happy to offer you the keys to realizing your personal gifts.
We are, as well, living through extraordinarily trying times. It's not easy to be alive right now, but if you can keep your awareness up, and stay a little bit above the fray, and look toward the future, these are indeed brilliant and challenging and amazing times to engage fully with life.
Because these readings are being delivered late, we're going to keep the pre-order price of $44 for a while. You may get your Leo reading here, or your Virgo reading here. These are especially poignant for your rising sign, as my emphasis is on the houses.
Both include original new music by Vision Quest. You may listen to our live stream here.
We are also offering pre-order on the Libra reading, which I reckon will be done pretty soon -- probably within a few days after the equinox.
Speaking of, I mention in Virgo that I've recently published an article in The Mountain Astrologer called It's All in the Houses. This is an informative, easy-to-follow article that will open up your astrological thinking. The way that I can do these readings for you so accurately is that I understand the houses, or at least I sincerely strive to. I explain how that works in the article, which is free to anyone. If you want to take this deeper, we do offer a class by the same name.
Thank you for being a customer of Planet Waves, and for doing your part to make the world a friendlier, warmer and more intelligent place.
With love, your astrologer,
P.S. If you missed In the Shadow of the Moon, you may access all 12 signs here, or single serving signs here.
 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 (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- The Sun leaves your sign today, which is a turning point for you and the world, known as the equinox. This is a time of balance, and you surely could use some of that. Yet many adventures are ahead. Mercury, Venus and Mars in your sign portray you as someone with a mission.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Today the Sun enters your birth sign, which will help you cast off the mentally intense quality of the past month. There’s such a thing as overthinking, and you’ve probably been up to that. You’ve long needed a breath of freedom, some space to move around and a vacation from your mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Today is a day to dream big, and to honor your vision for your own life. You may not think it’s attainable, though that’s also true of so much that so many people have accomplished. Nearly everything we see around us, in the world of people and of things, was once considered impossible.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Today the Sun enters one of the most visible, social and all-around beautiful angles of your solar chart, represented by the sign Libra. You have plenty going on at work, though you can make some time to get out of the office, and spend some quality social time with people you care about.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Some unusual and unplanned circumstance may offer you an advantage or opportunity. Yet you’ll have to see this for what it is, and try something that may seem unusual or contrary to your usual nature. Notice how this works: it’s one method of expanding your world, and your mind.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Today the Sun enters the angle of your chart associated with your long-range plans and your vision for your life. You may be reminded of ideas that you’ve been brewing for a year or so, and finally have the energy to act upon. Yet if you listen carefully, you may hear a whole new song.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a different calling in your relationships from many people around you, and this is especially true now. If your encounters with others don’t follow the usual prescribed path of romance, do not worry. There’s something much better and more meaningful available to you, in this very moment.
