"No matter who you are, engaging in the quest to discover where and how things began tends to induce emotional fervor -- as if knowing the beginning bestows upon you some form of fellowship with, or perhaps governance over, all that comes later. So what is true for life itself is no less true for the universe: knowing where you came from is no less important than knowing where you are going."
-- Neil deGrasse Tyson

If Your Birthday is Oct. 5
(The Day of the Just Cause) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The Full Moon on your birthday reveals that you're heading for an exciting, challenging year, with many adventures calling you. Yet to experience this fully, it's essential that you see yourself in the other, and allow people close enough to you to feel who you really are. Your relationships will take their own mysterious course; do not try to predict or dictate the journey.

Written in the Planets
Today sees Venus conjunct Mars in Virgo, and then the Aries Full Moon -- happening within two hours of one another. Since Mars rules Aries and Venus rules Libra (where the Sun is), this is really one combined event, with the focus being on your relationships -- within yourself, and with others. It's worth spending some time considering how you integrate your inner male and female archetypes, and how that is reflected in your interactions with others. Eric has much more in this week's Astrology Diary, which is well worth rereading.

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 October 5, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

The Full Moon on your birthday reveals that you're heading for an exciting, challenging year, with many adventures calling you. Yet to experience this fully, it's essential that you see yourself in the other, and allow people close enough to you to feel who you really are. Your relationships will take their own mysterious course; do not try to predict or dictate the journey. You share a birthday with Bob Geldof, Bernie Mac, and Kate Winslet.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You now have a better sense of what you want, and with whom it's appropriate to share your time and energy. Today's Full Moon in your birth sign is a reminder that your independence of mind, of feeling and of desire is the first step toward balanced relationships and productive collaborations.

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) -- You have earned every drop of your talent. You started with a bit of extra potential, though you've worked at doing what you do, and being who you are, harder than most people would ever dream of. You don't need to flaunt anything. Just be sincere and remember to make eye contact.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You're on a roll, and the reason for that is mostly because you're feeling confident and complete. It's as if you're finally standing on solid ground, and your thoughts and feelings match up. You might think you're faking it, though it's clear that you're experiencing true self-assurance. Remember the feeling!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today's Full Moon is reminding you that you have a message, you have an audience, and you have the courage to put the two together. Be bold about expressing yourself. Don't be daunted by anyone or anything. People will feel your good vibes and your passion, and they will respond.

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. These readings are now available.

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.

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.

The astrology segments of the Libra reading are now also published.

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 (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Don't believe everything you hear. In fact, subject all information you plan to depend upon to verification. You don't need to make a fuss about this; just quietly check to ensure that the key points are true and, if they are not, carefully evaluate where things might have gone wrong.

Your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric is 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) -- Today's unusual astrology includes a stunning conjunction of Venus and Mars in your birth sign. This may be offering some promise where a relationship is concerned, though your real-life experiences are the only test. For example, is there a spirit of sincerity, mutual support and cooperation?

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) -- Astrologers worldwide are watching carefully as Jupiter moves through the last degree of your sign. Jupiter's presence in Libra during the past year may not have paid its way in gold; but you have, if nothing else, discovered your true potential. Now it's up to you to make it real.

The Libra solar year commenced with a special conjunction of the Sun and Vesta. Your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading by Eric will contain the guidance you need to help you focus on what matters to you the very most. Order your reading today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You contain every potential, every possibility, every polarity. You get to express any or all of them in your own individual way. What will you plant in such rich and fertile ground? Don't get lost in the source of how you might "identify," to use a contemporary word. Be organically yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Nearly all great achievements come through collaboration. As one born under the highly independent sign of the centaur, you need to remind yourself of this regularly. You seem to be working up to something brilliant. Be bold about asking for any assistance, support or promotion you may need.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Today's Full Moon happens across the axis of your chart where confidence meets success. Imagine how bold and enterprising you would be if your self-assurance were to increase, even a little. Imagine wasting far less time ruminating and doubting yourself. You would be unstoppable. Try it out.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Jupiter, the planet of great promise, is about to move across the career and achievement angle of your solar chart. Now is the time to consider your most important goals, and what you intend to do about them. Then, get ready to revise and expand those plans -- and work for them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Lately it's seemed like others either don't have a clue, or they're running some agenda that does not take you into account. There are times when you must do your thing, your way; and let others catch up to you if and when they want to, and are ready. You only gain in this equation.
