Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Oct. 8, 2017
Today's Oracle takes us to the Pisces weekly for Aug. 22, 2003.

For all its reputation as a dreamer, Pisces rarely balks at life's constant necessity to get the job done and get it done well. You can now take advantage of a rare political opportunity that will advance your cause and, by no coincidence, the cause of those around you. It may be subtle: an open door, a conversation that drops a bit of vital information in your lap, or an encounter with someone who knows just what kind of help you need. The connection point is serving the wider social vision which you are learning in no way detracts from your individual comfort and gain. Opportunities for efficient progress abound.

The Oracle is a daily mini-reading divined from our extensive Horoscope Archive. You can research any Planet Waves horoscope published since 1999 at the Horoscope Archive and Oracle.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 8
(The Day of High Romance) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today's spectacular Mercury-Sun meeting on your birthday is calling on you to shine your brightest, and let the world see what you can do. Ground yourself in concrete goals, and in specific places where you are the most productive. Place an emphasis on doing things for their own sake, and because they're the right thing to do, and the money will flow.

Written in the Planets
Today Mercury catches up with the Sun in mid-Libra. This might be a good time to reflect on what has passed since Mercury stationed direct last month, and what may be culminating now. If something was revealed during that station, how has that developed for you, and how might you take matters forward? Vesta is still fairly close by; that'll help with any requisite goal setting or self-motivation. Get your mind up to speed.

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 8, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Today's spectacular Mercury-Sun meeting on your birthday is calling on you to shine your brightest, and let the world see what you can do. Ground yourself in concrete goals, and in specific places where you are the most productive. Place an emphasis on doing things for their own sake, and because they're the right thing to do, and the money will flow. You share a birthday with Jesse Jackson, Sigourney Weaver, and Bruno Mars.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Today you may get some clarity or confirmation about the nature of a relationship, if that is what you seek. Whatever you hear, it will set you free to embark upon the next phase of your journey. You will know the right thing when you experience it; it'll feel that way.

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) -- All ideas benefit from revision. Something you're doing now is up for another round of rethinking or redesign, which will occupy most of the coming week. You're starting with good material; and more to the point, it seems like you're having fun. And that is the true spirit of creativity.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Today's conjunction between the Sun and your ruling planet Mercury will have you feeling like the star that you are. Yet this is not about popularity, celebrity or even about image. You are someone who not only can think intelligently, you love to do it; and that feeds your passion.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Stand on your foundations: intelligence, ethics and your impeccable sense of timing. Draw confidence from your sensitivity to beauty, and your faith that the right thing will happen because you are doing your part to make it happen. You have great strength, if you would only use it.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- It's important to approach others in writing, though at the moment, the sound of your voice will be more compelling. So take a two-staged approach: call first, and then send a follow-up letter. Or send a letter in hard copy, on paper; and then set up the phone call from there. Be a little old-fashioned.

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) -- The solution to a financial question is forthcoming. You will have to recognize it when you see it, however; it may not have a clear label or a list of ingredients. The idea will likely surface in what feels like an unusually honest and transparent conversation with someone who cares about you.

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) -- Today's magnificent joining of Mercury and the Sun in your sign is offering you the feeling that you can do anything. Yet you must be prepared to go it alone for a while, remembering that you're the one to whom your own goals and aspirations are dearest. This is obvious: it's your life.

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 may be feeling some unusual mental or emotional pressure as Jupiter gets ready to enter your sign two days from now. Your dreams may be especially active. They may be big dreams, though even the small and subtle ones will be whispering to you with wisdom you can use in the immediate future.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Keep it physical, by which I mean get out of your head. Test your ideas out in real life, in the world of your senses. You need experience, and the way to get that is to experiment, in real time, and see what happens -- then adjust your plans based on the results of your test projects.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Today's Sun-Mercury conjunction in your house of career and reputation signifies a moment of understanding. Several distinct threads may suddenly weave a pattern, or something that seemed vague or incomplete will grow solid. All that remains to decide is whether you'll take the route that's now clear before you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You know the truth. You know your genuine and heartfelt intentions. You've thought about this long enough, and you've conducted many experiments over the years. Now is the time to act on what you know, with courage and confidence. As a wise person once said, fortune favors the bold.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can now make an important decision related to finances, partnership and where the two meet. You have all the information you need. You have seen the patterns that are involved. Now you must rise above your own hesitation and act on your precious and hard-won knowledge.
