I think that there is something about the ritual of making things more difficult that people find meaning in."

PWFM | So Much More Than I Thought This World Could Ever Hold
Here's something: at the moment, we are quite literally on the brink of nuclear war, or some nuclear exchange, with North Korea.

What can we do about it? One thing we can start with is simply waking up. Tonight's Planet Waves FM [play episode here] provides some healing balm in this world of threats of bombs.

If Your Birthday is Sept. 27
(The Day of the Ambiguous Hero) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today's meeting between the Sun and the meaningful asteroid Vesta are reminding you to be true to your calling. Devotion is perhaps the most deeply necessary form of love in a world that seems to be unraveling at the seams, or fixated on the latest bright, shiny object. Day by day, week by week, rise to the calling of the purpose that has chosen you.

Written in the Planets
How consciously can you hold space? As in, for your own thoughts and emotions; for the needs and desires of others; for the ways in which a person's spiritual, sexual or relational evolution (including your own) might seem to fly in the face of what is 'proper' or expected? The Sun's conjunction to Vesta in Libra today shines some light on these questions. Even so, some ways of crossing a threshold are easier or more constructive than others (even if you didn't fully realize you were ready). So with all the high-energy astrology this week, including today's Mercury aspects (detailed here), you'll want to keep your mind clear of substances, open like a parachute, and dialed into a discerning wavelength.

Planet Waves
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 27, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Today's meeting between the Sun and the meaningful asteroid Vesta are reminding you to be true to your calling. Devotion is perhaps the most deeply necessary form of love in a world that seems to be unraveling at the seams, or fixated on the latest bright, shiny object. Day by day, week by week, rise to the calling of the purpose that has chosen you. You share a birthday with Meat Loaf, Lil Wayne, and Avril Lavigne.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- The time has arrived to toss all of your conditioned expectations in personal relationships. Reality is too big for rules, games or holding anyone to a false standard. You are traveling through some truly beautiful human territory these days, if you'll only open your eyes and see the landscape.

Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're in the process of learning to distinguish desire from need. You may make a few mistakes along the way to learning that distinction this week, with both Venus and Mars so close to an opposition to Neptune. Before you declare whether something is urgent, meditate on it first.

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Over the next few days, you may be inclined to sacrifice love and companionship in service of your professional goals. You don't have to give up anything for the love or companionship that you want, though the people closest to you would need to be fully supportive and understanding.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to turn your attention to a family or domestic matter that's been calling for your attention. Work-related projects are off to a solid start, and you can return to them Friday and end the week well. For today, figure out what relatives or living partners have on their mind.

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.

Planet Waves
You may view the glyph key here.
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.
Leo
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Your neighborhood is an important place in your life. Humans are migratory, especially today; though the one mile that surrounds the place you call home must be a garden that you tend. Develop relationships with your neighbors, and take any opportunity to help. This weaves a strong web of connection.
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
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You're in a position to be generous and helpful, and others may be noticing this. However, you must be selective where you offer the benefits of your altruism. Your emotional and moral support are more important than financial resources you might provide. If that goes well, consider doing more.
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.
Turn Up the Flame with Your Libra Birthday Reading
Awesome, so uplifting and so 'IT' -- a wonderful birthday message. Eric, thank you. Your service has reached farther and deeper than you know. Turn up the flame on the human blow-torch, baby.
-- Eryca Willinger
Dear Friend and Reader:

Your birthday season has begun, and this year it's extra special. Just as the Sun is making its way through the early degrees of your sign, it forms a conjunction with the asteroid Vesta, which symbolizes devotion, the sacred flame and the hearth.

Planet Waves
This distinctive conjunction offers you the opportunity to lend your energies to what you're passionate about -- what matters to you the very most.

Your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading by Eric Francis will give you on-point and accurate guidance to help you optimize your power and direct it where you need it to go.

Your forthcoming solar year will also see Saturn entering your fellow cardinal sign Capricorn; and Chiron entering your relationship sign Aries. Eric will discuss all this and more, in a friendly, accessible recording you can come back and listen to as often as you need.

The Libra birthday reading will contain two 30-minute segments of audio astrology, plus a tarot reading for your year (and an extended written description of your sign).
As always, your reading is spot on and validates what I am experiencing in life at this time. The sheer acknowledgment that as a Libra I need balance, beauty and aesthetics in my life to make me tick on, balanced, in my day-to-day endeavors and consequently some very huge endeavors for the year was just what I needed to keep going.
-- Ginger Aarons
Pre-order your Libra birthday reading here for the earliest price of just $33. Note that once the reading is published, the price will increase -- so you'll want to get your copy very soon.

Thank you for your business. May the light of your hearth shine bright.

With best wishes,
Amy Elliott

P.S. This reading makes an excellent and lasting gift for the Libra you know and love -- and is also incredibly well-suited for anyone with Libra rising or a Libra Moon.
Libra
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- The rare meeting of Jupiter and Uranus continues today, though other planets joining the alignment will demonstrate to you that the potential you're looking at is not only possible but real. Yet remember that you are bigger than any opportunity, which is why you don't need to be nervous, only excited.

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Whether your dreams are large or small, notice what they are. It's true that the dreamtime has been heavily infiltrated by the tidal wave of the internet; however, the unconscious part of your mind is actually quite conscious and will have precious information for you in these very days.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Today's aspects point you toward not just some form of public recognition but also a new source of income based on your talent. Talent, of course, means devotion, study, practice, more devotion and more practice, and you have that kind of discipline. Put yourself where people can see you.

Capricorn
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You have tremendous potential for success right now, though if you think of it as being some kind of personal gain, you will squander the miracle. Express love, and the love of what you do, and be grateful from hour to hour that you are in an excellent position to help and be of service.

Aquarius
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Spirituality is not so much about what you believe, as it is what you allow to come through you. Part of your mind is like a memory bank, and a thought generator. Another is a conduit; and if you get out of your own way and open up to the flow, you will be astonished what you learn.

Pisces
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today there's a magnificent aspect between Jupiter, the source of wisdom and bringer of gifts, and Uranus, the planet of invention and revolution. The message is that no problem is too big to solve, and no challenge is too difficult to meet. You have extraordinary talent. Take a breath, and get busy.
