Dear Friend and Reader:
Once again, we're being confronted with a mass casualty incident involving firearms. This is on the heels of every other kind of disaster, or the threat of one, in rapid sequence since the Aug. 21 eclipse. By now every American has heard the story: someone set up a position on the 32nd floor of a resort hotel in Las Vegas, and opened fire on a country music festival across the street. According to the police, and press reports, there were more than 500 casualties, including 59 dead.

Security checkpoint set up outside a Chanel store in Las Vegas after Sunday's shooting. Now all hotels and casinos on the strip are screening everyone on the way in. This is the wave of the future. Security checkpoints, including sophisticated X-ray scans, will soon go from being many places to being everyplace. This will be a massive boon for the national security state and everyone in that business, dwarfing the expansion after 9/11. Photo by Melja Nanucci for Planet Waves. |
Remember that nearly all of us are experiencing this through the internet, and at the same time, few are considering the impact of the internet on events and our perception of them. The internet influences the speed that the news travels, as well as its impact. The internet also means that videos of the crime and the crime scene were available almost instantly.
Straight away, as always happens these days, the "false flag" theories have come up: that is, ideas about how actual events fail to match up with the official story that's being repeated with absolute unanimity by all media from Fox to The New York Times to MSNBC to Democracy Now!
They are all taking different positions on the gun issue itself, and perhaps asking different questions, though the core narrative is remarkably consistent no matter what the position of the outlet: a lone shooter, with no known motive, did this all by himself. (To be fair, Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC had one guest for about five minutes Monday night, who was present at the scene and who described his perception of multiple shooters.)
For anyone spreading fear, Las Vegas was the perfect setting for such an incident: it's one of the unofficial capitals of the United States. Almost everyone has been there, and even if you hate the place you love the place. Everyone can relate. It's pure Americana, as is country music. Between the internet and Las Vegas, it's easy to write yourself into the story.
Ultimately, the idea of any false flag theory is that the government did it. There are many plausible versions of this. But we don't need any theory or potential false flag operation to see that: this is about the true flag, the stars and stripes of the United States government. Our government allows, and encourages, people to possess weapons of war, where those weapons are used routinely on the people.
The effect is a proxy war on the people, waged on behalf of the people who arm the population. Armed citizens take their own guns and do the bidding of those (for example, in Congress, and in state governments) who allow them to have those guns.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 6
(The Day of the Good Life) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Expect the unexpected, which means that making rigid plans will not serve you. However, if you hang loose, and have a general sense of your goals, you will both discover and invent many new ways of living. As a balance to that, you must select as friends those who respect boundaries, which is another way of saying respect your time and your feelings.
Written in the Planets
With yesterday's Aries Full Moon behind you, hopefully you're noticing greater ease in your relationships. This evening, the Moon enters Taurus -- offering a more grounded, deliberate undercurrent. Given that Venus (ruler of Taurus) and Mars are both warming up a square to Saturn in Sagittarius, the influence of the Taurus Moon could be helpful. Proceed with careful deliberation in all tasks, and use tangible evidence as your reference points. Squares to Saturn can undermine one's self-confidence, but they don't have to get away with it. Your accomplishments are real, and your loved ones are just as human as you are.
 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 6, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Expect the unexpected, which means that making rigid plans will not serve you. However, if you hang loose, and have a general sense of your goals, you will both discover and invent many new ways of living. As a balance to that, you must select as friends those who respect boundaries, which is another way of saying respect your time and your feelings. You share a birthday with Thomas McClary, Elisabeth Shue, and Ioan Gruffudd.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You are entitled to change your mind, even if this shakes up some of the people around you. What you're likely to discover is that they can handle your decision-making just fine, and appreciate your ability to stand up for yourself and do what is right for you. Just tell people what you're up to.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You may be feeling like a house on fire, or a fire spinner, or a fire-breather. Your mind is bursting, and you have the ability to focus your energy and do something really, truly original with it. You may wonder whether anything gets lost in translation, though the true essence will come through.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You will surprise people today with how bold you're willing to be. Yet you can trust that your intelligence and awareness are running the show, even if people around you think you're being weird for its own sake. Shake things up a little, especially among your friends. They need it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Career turns come in the most unexpected ways. One's professional life is rarely an even stairway to the top. More often, it's a trip along catwalks, fire escapes, and going in through the out door. Let the unusual events of today and the next few days guide you to your next great success.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- If a long-term plan seems to get worked over by forces beyond your control, it probably was not such a good plan -- though you'll discover something in the process. You may end up with a far better vision for your life, and a deeper idea of what you really want and need.
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) -- There's no predicting what will happen in an intimate partnership, though what comes to light today will help you understand the true nature of the contact. You'll also see how far you've come in recent years at handling being thrown a curve. Be grateful for every drop of your maturity.
Libra Birthdays 2017:
Fire Up Your Potential, Become Your Own Safe Harbor
"I am absolutely impressed with my Libra birthday reading! It’s like Eric was talking directly to me. Everything he said is what has been happening. The last year has been a tremendous challenge in pretty much all areas of my life, but the birthday reading gives me hope that I really am on the right track. Thank you for such a great birthday reading Eric! Longtime Planet Waves fan."
-- S.R.
Dear Friend and Reader:
Your sign is known for its 'balance' -- but how do you find anything like that when the world around you is so out of whack, frightening, confusing and painful? It seems to come down to cultivating an inner sense of equilibrium you can return to no matter what throws you off -- and which enables you to engage with the world in meaningful, helpful ways.
Eric just recorded the two astrology sections of your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading (the tarot segment will be ready shortly). Timed to pave the way for Today's Full Moon in Aries -- your opposite sign and relationship house -- this reading will be carrying the signature of that building energy.
More importantly, Eric designs these readings to highlight and activate your potential; to offer you a safe harbor in this storm we call 'life on planet Earth'; and to help you consider both your challenges and recent lessons from a new, creative and empowering perspective. What you get is practical motivation and inspiration you can use right away -- in your most intimate relationships, your career, your community and your healing process.
With Jupiter soon entering your house of what you value (including your self-esteem), you'll be well-positioned to access and integrate two other major planet sign-changes that direct affect Libra: Saturn entering Capricorn in December of this year, and Chiron entering Aries in April 2018. With these planets ringing the bells of your home-work axis and your self-partner axis, the next 12 months of your life (and beyond) are sure to be dynamic.
It's up to you to navigate the upcoming shifts, but you can do so with an expert guide by your side when you pre-order your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading here.
"Eric, thank you. Your service has reached farther and deeper than you know. Turn up the flame on the human blowtorch, baby. Yeah!!!!"
-- Eryca Willinger
Eric once famously called Libra "the human blowtorch." Whether you see yourself that way yet or not, I'd like to invite you to try out this reading and see what it brings out of you.
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
