Len Wallick | What the World Needs Now
Venus has two astrological dominions where its expression as love, among other attributes, is potentially strongest: Taurus and Libra. Len Wallick takes a look at what Venus entering Libra can plausibly be made to mean -- provided you choose to participate with, rather than separate from, the brightest planet in our sky.

If Your Birthday is Oct. 15
(The Day of the World's Stage) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Once you learn to temper your perfectionism, you'll raise the quality of all that you do, and you'll feel better. Perfection is not a value. Self-improvement is as much about integrity as it is about blue jeans going through the wash 100 times. Strive for experience, aspire to be a student of life, and remember that a happy, sincere student does not feel guilty about learning.
Written in the Planets
Aspects by Mercury and Mars are suggestive of inspiration, but also a possible volatility. If you find yourself getting frustrated or stuck on the edge of an idea, try to work off some energy in a constructive way; you may well find the snag begins to unravel itself. Practice patience and determination, and try to resist any sense that results should appear immediately. Rarely are the greatest or worthiest achievements quick or easy; excellence comes with time and effort.
 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.
-- Ginger Aarons

Daily Horoscope for October 15, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Once you learn to temper your perfectionism, you'll raise the quality of all that you do, and you'll feel better. Perfection is not a value. Self-improvement is as much about integrity as it is about blue jeans going through the wash 100 times. Strive for experience, aspire to be a student of life, and remember that a happy, sincere student does not feel guilty about learning. You share a birthday with Virgil, Tito Jackson, and Mira Nair.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Over the next 48 hours, several matters will come up for healing, whether emotional, psychic or physical. The appropriate response is to pause and reflect, and take the time to take care of yourself. The more you do this, the more you will want to; so this may be a significant turning point.
"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) -- You have been at a creative peak lately; and while it's come at some cost, you will discover that it was well worth it. Before you start thinking about new adventures, settling into a steady work routine will be both helpful and healthy for you. Easy does it; slow and steady is the way.
"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) -- Here's a mantra for you: "The past is gone. It cannot touch me." You may need to remind yourself of that over and over, until it starts to really settle in. If old matters, cares or issues are coming up, be fully aware of the presence of these thoughts, and then let them go.
"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) -- You're now into an extended phase of your life where you can develop your financial skills and resources. If you're doing this right, you will feel some resistance, challenge and unfamiliarity. That's all a reminder that it will be well worth persisting. Give it a year -- see where you get.
"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) -- You can now attend to important matters of financial planning, which would best start with getting organized. If you know how much you have, how much you owe, and when it's due, that will enhance your feeling of control rather than diminish it. Knowledge is power -- especially where money is concerned.
"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) -- Shake off any feelings of not liking yourself, or struggling with your own thoughts. This is entirely an illusion of modern life: its pressures to constantly improve, or many influences designed to make you doubt yourself, to name two. Do something you love today. Be gentle with yourself.
"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) -- Today Mars is opposite Chiron, a truly important planet discovered orbiting our Sun 40 years ago next month. You are experiencing something that describes the full expression of the spiritual warrior. Be brave, be honest, and offer yourself in the spirit of the greatest good for all concerned.
"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) -- Today Venus meets Jupiter, which is sending a surge of energy through your most precious dreams. Be bold about asserting what you do the best. Offer yourself in the service of your most vital talents or ideals. The world needs the positive vibes and reassuring presence that you offer.
"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) -- Venus bestows talent in any form. Whenever you meet someone who seems to be able to express themselves any way possible, that's about Venus. This planet is now the most prominent one in your chart, and assures that you've got the skill and discipline to take on any task and do it brilliantly.
"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) --
Place your emphasis on fact-finding where taxes, joint finances or investments are concerned. Really, truly persist in your due diligence, taking things twice as far as you need to go. When you figure something out, try to prove yourself wrong and happily start from square one. Thorough means thorough.
"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) -- The Moon will be passing through your relationship house for the next two days. At first, it may seem that others are holding you to unreasonable standards. If that's true, you must calmly but firmly draw the line and set some boundaries before things get out of hand. You can do it.
"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."
