"I write from instinct, from inexplicable sparkle. I don't know why I'm writing what I'm writing. Usually, I sit and I let my hands wander on my guitar. And I sing anything. I play anything. And I wait till I come across a pleasing accident. Then I start to develop it. Once you take a piece of musical information, there are certain implications that it automatically contains -- the implication of that phrase elongated, contracted, or inverted or in another time signature. So you start with an impulse and go to what your ear likes."
-- Paul Simon
Harbinger of the Future: Jupiter in Scorpio
Dear Friend and Reader:
Today I've got some news for you about Jupiter in Scorpio, a one-year transit that began this week. But first, I have a call to action.
The world is in crisis. We are seeing the effects of global warming manifest before our eyes: as successive hurricanes pounding coastlines and inland areas; as rising sea levels; as droughts followed by massive fires that are brought on by complex groups of conditions that all come back to the planet heating up.

Teaching and learning at Esalen Institute. |
There is political crisis from the top to the bottom of society, most of it rooted in greed and lying; there's a sexual crisis that has belched into the news, and once again, only because it's happening in the entertainment industry and we recognize the names involved.
News outlets that could be helpful are too busy selling us drugs and luxury cars to care very much.
There's a spiritual crisis -- of meaning, of the value of human life or any life, and of the value of existence itself. There's a mental health crisis -- also related to meaning, and many factors that are driving people insane. There is economic crisis, health crisis, social crisis: it's all the same thing with many different names.
Your help is needed now. If you've ever felt like you've been called to serve, now is the time to answer that calling. It's time to rise above your own problems and your own sense of crisis and offer yourself to planetary healing, free of charge, with no hope of getting credit for what you do, and no promise of getting a result.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 13
(The Day of the Tough Cookie) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You seem to be a step ahead of yourself, though you might want to slow down a little and let events develop before taking action. You know what direction you're headed, though over the next few seasons, additional information will come to light, and you will have opportunities you were not expecting. So take things gently; the future comes upon us fast enough.
Written in the Planets
With Mercury and Uranus preparing to send out some mental sparks tomorrow, today's transition of Venus into Libra should offer some emotional stability. Look for the beautiful solution to any curveballs you get thrown; that is, the thing that feels elegant, balanced, in harmony or simply fair. This is not the same as pretending to go along with what others want just for the sake of avoiding a disagreement. It's about hearing the music in the phrase, "both and" -- or knowing that when you allow space for a third option, that is often the point at which all others meet in creative ways.
 Order your Libra audio reading today, and get instant access to the two astrology segments (the tarot reading will be following shortly -- and at that time, the price will increase). Please use this link.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.

Daily Horoscope for October 13, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
You seem to be a step ahead of yourself, though you might want to slow down a little and let events develop before taking action. You know what direction you're headed, though over the next few seasons, additional information will come to light, and you will have opportunities you were not expecting. So take things gently; the future comes upon us fast enough. You share a birthday with Paul Simon, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Ashanti.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Part of your self-care routine must involve full awareness of what you put into your body. The old adage "you are what you eat" was never truer than it is today. That includes every last thing you might eat or drink. Be conscious of what that is, and take nothing for granted.
"The person you thought you were five years ago, one year ago, even yesterday, is not quite the same person you are today, potentially in some profound ways. To the extent that this is shaking up your consciousness and that of the people around you, you simply must develop confidence in yourself."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- If you can take some time to yourself this weekend, it will do you good. Once you settle down and drop your guard, you'll discover a world of feelings that will nourish you and refresh your mind. No matter how busy you are, try to take an hour or two and settle into yourself.
"If Taureans are competitive, it's primarily with themselves. You never want to do anything worse than you did it last time. Your next effort has to be better. When this is not driving you a little nuts, it can really work for you; and it definitely works for those who benefit from your devoted efforts."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- As one born under the sign of the twins, language, thought and ideas are your primary source of nourishment. Curiosity is a form of hunger, and you can nourish yourself with your own mind. Keep your sense of humor, which is your best asset. The meaning of life is a pun or riddle.
"Like an aviator or a sailor or both at once, you must study the weather, within you and around you, and have many skills and tools for coexisting with it. You harness your energy from change itself. Knowing yourself is not a matter of having a fixed concept, but rather an honest and ongoing relationship with who you are."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- There's lots of discussion of 'privilege' these days, and everyone seems to want to move up a notch. Your solar chart is suggesting that you fully appreciate where you are in life right now, because it's pretty good. You have excellent advantages working for you, and some truly unusual opportunities.
"Whatever you are doing, the essential spirit of your chart is that you define yourself. You set your mission; you establish your reputation; you are the master of the experiment. If you want to accomplish anything beyond the routine level of success, that also entails the highest level of self-responsibility and inner authority."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- The Moon in your sign for the next two days will lift your spirits, and offer you a nice stream of good ideas. Despite the prevailing madness in the world, you are welcome to envision your future, and think boldly about the life you want to live and the places you want to go.
"You are now in a moment where you get to review, rethink and recreate just about anything you want. This may involve any facet of your life. You have the opportunity to work from the roots of your existence upward, and outward. For now, stay close to the ground and work from your core reality."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- For some weeks, there's been a Venus-Mars conjunction in your birth sign. This can have odd manifestations in the outer world (such as too much competitiveness), though the real message is to stay in harmony with both your inner man and inner woman. As the conjunction dissolves, remember.
"Let everything point you back to you, as the focal point of your existence. This will enhance your capacity for relationships rather than diminish it. The more solidly you are present for yourself, the more solid you can be for others. But that's really beside the point; focusing your intimacy with yourself is its own reward."

A Lifeline for These Times: Your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading
"Today I was listening to last year's reading and I kept feeling that I needed to get this year's reading; I'm so glad I did. It answered everything, or at least helped me to realize I'm okay and actually very excited."
-- Rhonda Benson
Dear Friend and Reader:
When the entire world seems to be losing its collective mind, having somewhere to turn for solace, sanity and a way to make sense of it all is crucial. Resources that enable you to see how your life fits into the bigger picture -- and which give you a sense of your potential, and how to make the most of it -- can truly be a lifeline.
To that end, Eric recently recorded the two astrology sections of your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading (the tarot segment will be ready shortly).
This means you can get instant access to an astrological lifeline that has been crafted specifically for you -- whether you have your Sun, rising sign or Moon in Libra.
Eric designs these readings as a kind of life-coaching, spiritual healing, cheerleading and strategic problem-solving hybrid. You get a clear sense that you belong on this planet at this time for a reason -- and that activating your soul's purpose is entirely doable, even if you face painful challenges. Eric's birthday readings address these issues with clarity, sensitivity and an eye to the greater energetic landscape -- so you can see your path more clearly and take your next steps with confidence and peace.
With Jupiter now in 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 directly 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.
"Wow, you have just blown me away. So precise with what l am going through Libra Sun and Libra Moon and you haven't even looked at my chart! Well done, Eric."
-- Judy Newland
I hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to order your 2017-18 Libra Birthday Reading -- before the next price increase (which will occur when the tarot segment is recorded).
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
P.S. If you'd like to check Eric's accuracy and review your past 12 months, you're invited to listen to last year's Libra reading, as a gift -- before you purchase your current reading.
 T"You may have been looking to the people you relate to directly -- that is, partners of various kinds -- for answers about the changes you're going through. The deeper truth is that something inside you is evolving and growing, and changes to your partnerships are a kind of secondary effect. The sum total is that your circumstances are conspiring for you to be highly self-reliant."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- One purpose of your career is to feed you, but the larger purpose is to feed others. This can take many forms: leadership, supporting others, or actually offering food to the people around you. This is an important and very old tradition, and you have an opportunity to keep it alive.
"The essence of this message is that you must express your true self in every facet of your being, particularly in the work that you do. The tangible contribution you make to your community and the larger society is your single most dependable way to develop yourself, and to cultivate respect for yourself, and these angles of your chart are coming under strong, creative aspects this year."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Jupiter's ingress into your neighboring sign Scorpio is offering you the benefits of a wise and loving guardian angel. You are carrying protection. You have excellent information. The question is: what are you planning to do with those assets? The answer is: you simply must follow your dreams.
"You will thrive if you maintain a spirit of exploration and play in the work that you do. You might explore the idea that no matter what you do, you're doing the same thing: expressing your energy and love. If you discover that you don't feel so energetic or so loving, that's the time to consider why you're doing it. However, remember, many facets of your current astrology call for patience."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Your star is rising, though you must proceed with humility and with a sense of a beginner's mind. Don't be an expert. Be someone who seeks the truth. An exceedingly important part of your leadership role involves resolving conflicts rather than perpetuating them. Keep an honest dialog going.
"One thing to remember is that your integrity is not linked to your being unchanging. In fact, your integrity is about your ability to change in helpful ways, and not to resist what you need the most. As well, you must be honest with yourself and with others about your uncertainty. It's all too tempting, in times of profound change, to attempt to cling to some form of fundamentalism or false security."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Jupiter is now making contact with the midheaven angle of your solar chart. Though most astrologers associate this transit with fame and fortune, I associate it with accountability. This transit, which will last for a whole year, is a reminder to be at your impeccable best all the time.
"If you find some material you must confront, summon the might of Pluto to help you work through the details. When you discover that you're carrying around material from one or more of your ancestors, notice what it is, and offer it back to them. One thing you have going for you now is a rather hot spiritual fire burning. This is an excellent opportunity to burn off karma."
-- From your 2017 annual reading by Eric Francis, The Book of Your Life -- which you can read here. Eric's beginning work on the 2018 annual edition, and we'll have more news about that soon.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Venus and Mars have been working their way through your relationship house for several weeks. Romantic as it sounds, this has not been all sweetness and starlight, however. It's been an exercise in setting boundaries and standards that you must uphold. Be grateful for your self-respect.
"When you look at these years in retrospect, they will clearly be a 'before and after' time. There are likely to be focal points of that transition; you may have experienced many 'befores' and 'afters', which add up to nothing less than a complete transformation in the form of embodying your own existence. This has taken many shapes, and in truth it's a process that, once ignited, keeps on going."
