If Your Birthday is Oct. 7
(The Day of Defiance) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may be feeling like you have so much potential, yet be wondering how you're ever going to manifest it. To that end, it will help if you put your faith in yourself rather than in others. You are the most dependable person in your life, because you're the one to whom your life matters the most. Grasp that, and your goals will come much closer to you.

Written in the Planets
Venus in Virgo is moving into a square with Saturn in Sagittarius tomorrow. Following the Full Moon and Venus-Mars conjunction that punctuated this past week, you might notice that your personal (and especially romantic or intimate) relationships feel somewhat cooler today. Beware of holding loved ones to too high or too rigid a standard. They are only human. As are you -- so even if you do get overly focused on their inadequacies, skip the guilt and see if you can shift into a more self-reflective mode. Seeing what's real in a relationship is never a bad thing; it just requires you to see the broader picture along with the details, and to do so with compassion for all involved.

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 7, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

You may be feeling like you have so much potential, yet be wondering how you're ever going to manifest it. To that end, it will help if you put your faith in yourself rather than in others. You are the most dependable person in your life, because you're the one to whom your life matters the most. Grasp that, and your goals will come much closer to you. You share a birthday with Sherman Alexie, Desmond Tutu, and Toni Braxton.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- A little financial planning will go a long way, even if you just decide how you're going to spend your money this weekend. That will give you a clue that a thoughtful approach to your finances is the best approach, whether you have limited funds or plenty of extra to work with. Make every dollar count.

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) -- Today's astrology is about 20 degrees cooler than yesterday's, which I'm sure you'll appreciate. Yet you still possess every drop of the creative mojo that you've been working with all week long. Take some time today and get a few of those ideas into manifestation, as art, music, dance or a good time.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You seem to be growing more confident by the day, whether this involves your ideas, the work you do, or relating to your family. Honor yourself as a mature adult, and remember that the little kid in your heart is the true essence of your personality. Look at the world with wonder and curiosity.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- It's time to plan more carefully. Seemingly random chance has been in action, and it's given you new ideas and shifted the game in your favor. Now, you need to consider your strategy carefully and contemplate what you're going to do with your advantage. Start by remembering that you have it.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You have solid ambitions, though you need to be more thoughtful about how you're going to get where you want to be. Rather than wanting everything at once, set some priorities, and begin with something that's both important to you and attainable within a reasonable period of time.

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) -- A little planning will go a long way today. So will making any effort at all to see where the people you talk to are coming from. Inquire politely what they're up to, without asking directly how they're feeling. Then do something truly unusual and listen carefully for a few minutes.

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 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

P.S. The Libra Birthday Reading is ideal for anyone with Libra rising or a Libra Moon, too! It also makes a fantastic gift.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You can now see beyond a particularly slippery deception that was present in your work environment. The question is what you plan to do about it, and the probable correct answer is: the less the better. However, you will be well served to practice vigilance, and to take "show me" as your motto.

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 are awakening to your potential in an entirely new way. You're discovering things about yourself that you never dreamed of. It's easy to forget these revelations, just like it's easy to forget a dream. What you have available now is too beautiful to forget, and worth acting upon.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Be sure to balance your professional ambitions against the original creative impulse that set you on your path. It's easy for the creative root to get lost in the drive to succeed, especially if you're actually making progress. So review your plans daily and keep getting back on track.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Your current professional challenges or opportunities will bring out the best in you. Don't worry if you don't have collaborators, or if they don't seem up to it; this phase of your work is about your personal development as some kind of artist, artisan or entrepreneur. Get busy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Are you concerned about doing the right thing with your life? That's a common fear, though it's exaggerated by the notion that what you choose today is what you'll be stuck with forever. One thing is clear: you need experience, and you have that available. Take your opportunity to learn and grow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Trust what people do rather than what they say. What they are doing now is what they're likely to do in the future, since they have little motivation to alter their ways. Once you figure that out, it'll be easier for you to connect with people on solid ground rather than promises for the future.
