If Your Birthday is Oct. 16
(The Day of Essential Judgment) | Libra Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Forces outside your control may seem to be guiding your relationships, though if you would turn your attention within yourself, you'll see how your desires are driving everything. The way to change what you're getting is to change what you want, though first you need to figure out what that is. Herein lies the beauty of the journey, and the game.
Written in the Planets
Today the Sun, Saturn and Eris all make contact with one another. This could draw attention to the similarities between apparently different social pressures, such as to conform versus to perform. That is, whether you're being asked to exaggerate or show off certain qualities, or to suppress them, it comes to the same thing: preventing you from being freely and authentically yourself. Honesty is powerful; that's why many people are so afraid of it. You might try it out regardless.
 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 16, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino
If Today is Your Birthday
Forces outside your control may seem to be guiding your relationships, though if you would turn your attention within yourself, you'll see how your desires are driving everything. The way to change what you're getting is to change what you want, though first you need to figure out what that is. Herein lies the beauty of the journey, and the game. You share a birthday with Oscar Wilde, Tim Robbins, and Flea.
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- If you stay on top of your work, you will avoid a big crunch tomorrow. Monday is usually a sluggish day, though pluck up some focus and kick your mind into high gear. A clue from your astrology is that one good idea can save you hours of work, so focus on quality rather than quantity.
"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) -- Jupiter has begun its one-year trip across Scorpio, the relationship angle of your solar chart. Mercury and the Sun are following close behind. This is about you: you will become more visible and more attractive, and gain a sense of your power and strength. Walk lightly, and love gently.
"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) -- Throw off any feeling of insecurity or uncertainty and proceed like you know what you're doing. Even if you don't, you'll figure it out soon enough. Your Gemini powers of wit and wisdom will always be waiting for you to summon them. Let everything you touch turn to beauty.
"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) -- Ease back on any panicky feelings, or the sense you're living in the middle of a mystery you cannot describe. Mercury is about to join Jupiter in your house of fun, pleasure and art. Keep your energy moving: creative, sexual, physical, all of it. Get up right now and walk around the block.
"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) -- Keep cutting through the fog on any matter of personal importance you're trying to figure out. Be determined to get to the truth. Pretend you're Nancy Drew or old Sherlock Holmes, and assemble all of your available clues, and your thoughts about what they point to. Know what you don't know.
"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) -- Your feelings usually make sense; that's what people find so perplexing about you. You need to trust that a little more, and then put some more thought into what you're going to do about them. Persistent inaction is useless. Over-reacting is useless. There is plenty of middle ground.
"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) -- Take the time to make sure any social justice or personal service project you've started recently has the proper outcome. This may take some time and focus, and a bit of effort. Check that everyone has what they need, and ask whether there's anything else you can do to assist or serve.
"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) -- You will need to clear up the confusion and take charge, which are really one and the same thing. You have a natural gift for seeing the future; now, you must focus your perception on seeing the present, and sizing up the most basic facts. That will easily lead to a coherent plan of action.
"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) -- If there's a difficult or thankless job that must be done, you're the one to do it. You're the one willing to get your hands dirty, stay late, or work your tail off to make sure something happens the right way at the right time. Once you've accomplished that, have a cup of tea and get onto the next task.
"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) --
You must get in the habit of doubting yourself enough to check your work. Get second opinions, particularly from people you tend to disagree with. Jupiter so prominent in your chart is saying that you must shake off any vague trace of know-it-all. Learn to ask focused, pointed questions.
"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) -- You choose the people who are in your life. You can, you must -- and you do, and it's important that you keep choosing at all times. Nobody is entitled to you. Nobody owns you, though most of the world's theories of relationships suggest otherwise. You need your own code to live by.
"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."
