If Your Birthday is Sept. 30
(The Day of Glaring Truth) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Mercury enters your sign on the anniversary of your birth, which is saying it's time to speak the truth of who you are. As a Libra, you are born with a natural gift for diplomacy, and a good supply of social lubrication. You will still have those resources available when you dare to speak directly, without hesitation, of what matters to you the most.

Written in the Planets
Today two major goddess asteroids meet in a square aspect: Vesta in Libra and Juno in Capricorn. Squares indicate a feeling of inner tension that asks to be resolved through action you must take. In this situation -- coming as it does on the heels of the recent Sun-Vesta conjunction -- the theme is clearly relationships. Are you trying to reconcile holding space for some sort of unorthodox relationship with a need to hear and honor past unmet relationship needs? It may be possible to do both. The key would seem to be not getting stuck in those past emotional deficits: Vesta suggests there's space for all of the processing and integration necessary -- if you're willing to express yourself honestly, listen empathetically, and keep one eye on the sense of spaciousness and abundance you'd like to cultivate.

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 30, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Mercury enters your sign on the anniversary of your birth, which is saying it's time to speak the truth of who you are. As a Libra, you are born with a natural gift for diplomacy, and a good supply of social lubrication. You will still have those resources available when you dare to speak directly, without hesitation, of what matters to you the most. You share a birthday with Elie Wiesel, Marion Cotillard, and T-Pain.
Aries
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You don't need the approval of others. What you need is to relate to the community around you on your terms rather than theirs. Anyway, there is no 'theirs', as each individual has his or her own sense of appropriateness. All you can really do is be you, and let the confetti fly.

Taurus
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- It may take you a few days to decide whether you're being honest with yourself, and whether others are being honest with you. That's okay, because the truth reveals itself in its own way and in its own time. Yet be cautious if you find yourself actively in denial of something.

Gemini
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- How do you know if you really feel the way you think you feel? Well, if you have to ask, then it would be healthy to take some time and see if what you're observing now is still true in a day, a week and a month. Time is a dependable measure, if you're paying attention.

Cancer
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Proceed with a spirit of collaboration, based on the idea that we're all in this together. Whatever you want to accomplish, it'll be easier with help; so make a few phone calls and see who you can recruit to the cause. Mingle work with some kind of social event later, for maximum effect.

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.

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 mighty Mercury, planet of ideas and awareness, has arrived in your birth sign, after lurking around nearly forever in Virgo. If you were wondering where your mind went, now you have it back. Be aware that your words have tremendous impact at the moment. Say only what you truly mean.

Scorpio
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Your solar chart is so powerful at the moment, it's a wonder you can even sleep for an hour. It's like you're experiencing 12 full moons all at once. However, try to catch a few winks of sleep, and write down your dreams. There's some fantastic cinema playing on the astral plane.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- This moment has been a long time coming. It's not easy to move energy on our planet at this time, or rather there's so much already moving that nothing seems to matter. What you are doing does indeed matter, and you're likely to know it. Don't worry about the final result. Stick to the task at hand.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Mercury has entered the success and reputation angle of your chart, and you're likely to be getting the attention of people in a position to help you succeed. Remember, though, that you must be accountable for your words and for your actions. And you must stay on message.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The Moon now in your sign, and Mercury newly in Libra, are offering you a fresh perspective on life. It's worth holding out and not giving in to fear in any form. It's worth adopting an optimistic point of view, especially when it comes to your own choices. Currently, positive options abound.

Not everyone is as generous as you are, though you know the power of sharing. You might consciously be more open to receiving, which will make it easier for others to give.
