In a stinging defeat for the Republican Party and Donald Trump, the Senate voted by a slim margin — 49 to 51 — against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. As the bill was defeated, protesters outside the Capitol cheered and chanted “Yes, we did!”

If Your Birthday is July 30
(The Day of Tangible Presence) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
There comes a time when everyone must confront the past, so they can move on to the future that they want. For you, that time has arrived. Fortunately, what we call the past exists only in memory, which includes the patterns you live by. You will wake up before many around you. Don’t let anyone hold you back from the experiences and the love you want.

Written in the Planets
Venus in late Gemini continues to make interesting aspects, today squaring Chiron and forming a sextile with Uranus. This speaks of the revolution inherent in healing. Part of that is knowing which areas of your life to wind up in order to move forward. Initiating change is almost always accompanied by some level of fear of risk; working through that fear facilitates healing and feeds back into the cycle of growth. Affirming your intentions in some way might add to your determination and courage.

“Ah Eric — just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of.”
— Liz Glanville

This is a seminal year for Leo Sun, rising and Moon, with two New Moons in your sign, the second one a potent solar eclipse. All the more reason to take hold of the reins and steer this dynamic energy in the direction that works for you.

Your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric Francis will be exactly the support you need to navigate through these exciting transits. It’s now available for pre-order at the lowest price of just $33, so be sure to grab a copy — whether for yourself or the Leo you love — before that increases.

“Thanks for reassuring this Leo, who is having a year ‘for the books’! You get to the core of things.”
— Barbara Peaslee, on a previous Leo reading

August Monthly Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino

Once again, one of the outstanding astrological events of our lifetimes occurs in your sign. That would be the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017. There’s a precedent for this: the total solar eclipse of Aug. 11, 1999. Consider what you were doing that summer, and what you were doing for the next three or so years. When you think of 1999 as a ‘before and after’ moment, what do you get? You are now standing at the threshold of another such moment. What you’ve lived through the past several years is the ‘before’; the moment you’re in is like a dimensional gate; and the future is unwritten. Take the time and the care to point your life in the direction that you want to go. This need not take longer than a few moments, though deep meditation and grounded decisions usually require more investment of thought. Remove the no-longer-valid priorities from your agenda; decide what no longer serves you. Then, search your soul and remind yourself what you simply must do. Be exceedingly honest with yourself about this, and don’t be distracted by whether you think something is or is not possible. You might know what this agenda is without even thinking about it. Use the power of your mind and point your existence in that direction. Then, steady as she goes.

If Your Birthday is July 29
(The Day of Cultural Assessment) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As the year progresses, you will come into your own. This may not happen today or tomorrow, though all the signs are there. Don’t be daunted by the insecurities of others. You must use any friction as a source of power. If you find yourself in a conflict, use it as a way to map out where people are coming from, and get the upper hand.

Written in the Planets
As Venus nears its square to Chiron (exact Sunday), it occupies a particularly potent, and possibly volatile, degree: 28+ Gemini. You might want to notice whether any of your emotions or thoughts — or your reactions to what you’re being asked to ‘receive’ — are threatening to outpace your core values. The level of personality has a way of buffeting us when we stay at a surface level; if you’re feeling stress, Chiron in Pisces seems to suggest that diving to deeper water might take you beneath the layer where the wind whips up the waves. If it feels more like immersion into a new level of understanding rather than evasion, you know you’re on the right track.

The Fulcrum, the Venturi and the Cycle of Fire

Dear Friend and Reader:

We’re now in the final weeks before the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017. For those who are uncertain of whether astrology has any validity, this is a good time to pay attention. Eclipses are one of the very best laboratory-of-life ways to observe astrology. You would just need to associate what you notice with the eclipses.

“Eclipse” by Via Keller, the original Planet Waves artist.

A solar eclipse is an exact alignment of the Moon and the Sun, at the New Moon. Usually at the New Moon, the Moon will pass a little above or below the Sun, from our viewpoint on Earth. There is a shadow cast, but it extends into space, and we don’t see it. When a solar eclipse happens, the Moon’s shadow is cast on the Earth.

It may sound like superstition to “believe” that this might “mean” something, though I suggest going beyond both belief and meaning, and observing what’s actually happening. See if you notice the acceleration effect of an eclipse, even set amidst our light-speed world. Notice the sense of unusual pressure that people are not readily admitting to. Feel the sensation that change is imminent. Notice the strange events that are not easily explained.

One distinction of this eclipse is that the shadow is cast not just on Earth but also directly over the United States, touching both coasts and peaking over Missouri. This has never happened in American history; neither have many other things we’re seeing happen, or have witnessed the past two years. The path of totality extends from south of Portland, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina. The rest of the country on either side of the path of totality will experience a partial solar eclipse.

If Your Birthday is July 28
(The Day of the Winner) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Mars and the Sun aligning on your anniversary says you must assert yourself and make a point of going for what you want. This is not trendy, though you will find happiness by standing apart from the crowd and rising above the fear that’s consuming the planet. You are one of the courageous and the sincere. Claim your space in the world.

Written in the Planets
What do you do when your pleasure-seeking comes face-to-face with its unintended consequences? On the other side of the coin, if your soul’s growth or dharma has a single ultimate trajectory, yet you have two or more sets of values that you’re living by, how do you negotiate between those two sides? As Venus in Gemini opposes the centaur Pholus and the Galactic Core in Sagittarius today, you may feel like you have to make a choice. Consider what it might mean if you choose a path of integration.

The Gemstone File Made Available To The Public

The Gemstone File, a project of Chiron Return, is a collection of documents pulled by three reporters (Carol van Strum, Peter von Stackelberg and Eric Francis Coppolino) who have covered environmental history since the early 1970s. And it has now been made available free at TheGemstoneFile.org.

The file covers numerous agricultural compounds, industrial chemicals and ingredients of household products, many of which are still on the market despite their safety studies being invalidated. The Gemstone File is a mine of missing information and details on compounds including Agent Orange, DDT, dioxins, furans, glyphosate, PCBs and other chemicals in your food, under your sink and in your bathroom.

If Your Birthday is July 27
(The Day of the Decision Makers) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Keep an open mind. We always hear this, and most of us think we do it all the time — which is a trap. You will need to make a special effort to be circumspect, which means listening carefully to everything you don’t agree with. And know what you don’t know. That is the mark of true intelligence, and once you connect with that, you will be unstoppable.

Written in the Planets
Today’s sky is a little quieter after the trumpet voluntary of the Sun conjoining Mars yesterday. On its way to Libra, though, the Moon passes through an interesting formation in the mutable signs: Venus is drawing opposite Pholus and the Galactic Core, and square to Chiron. Part of this is about not forgetting the lessons of recent days, and ensuring you apply them to your personal healing path and your daily existence. It can sometimes be easier to commit to an idea than to keep the momentum going, though this is what’s needed now. Don’t wait for the eclipse. When the Sun-Mars booster rocket begins to slow, make sure you’re ready to switch on the engines.

Planet Waves FM: Introducing the Oregon Lorax; Eclipse Countdown

If Your Birthday is July 26
(The Day of the Symbolic Herald) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A Mars-Sun meeting on your birthday reveals that you are in rare form and ready to conquer the world. Remember, though, that discretion is the better part of valor. Fortunately, your solar chart describes you as thoughtful and careful in your planning, and sensitive to all sides of any issue. Those will be assets worth keeping at the ready. You will need them.

Written in the Planets
Today’s Sun-Mars conjunction in Leo is all about energy; so get active to feel good. The more physical, constructive, creative and personally rewarding your task or goal, the better. That said, if you’re harboring doubts, fears or insecurities of some sort (especially related to what you desire or to your self-image), you could find all this energy challenging to handle productively. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible; it just means you might want to start with manageable and very clearly defined tasks first, or enlist a friend to act as a sounding board. However you’re feeling, keep in mind that Venus in Gemini opposes Ixion in Sagittarius today. Anyone is capable of anything — including behaving unethically, and that includes you. Keep your Sun-Mars vigor on the right side of the tracks, no matter how many sides of the story feel valid.

“Ah Eric — just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of.”
— Liz Glanville

This is a seminal year for Leo Sun, rising and Moon, with two New Moons in your sign, the second one a potent solar eclipse. All the more reason to take hold of the reins and steer this dynamic energy in the direction that works for you.

Your 2017-18 Leo Birthday Reading by Eric Francis will be exactly the support you need to navigate through these exciting transits. It’s now available for pre-order at the lowest price of just $33, so be sure to grab a copy — whether for yourself or the Leo you love — before that increases.

“Thanks for reassuring this Leo, who is having a year ‘for the books’! You get to the core of things.”

This Week’s Horoscope for Leo by Eric Francis Coppolino

Sunday there was the first of two New Moons in your birth sign, both of which are extraordinary events, and are here to deliver a message. At this stage of your life, you have little choice but to stand in your power. This is not a state of mind or a mood; it’s not a thing you do. It’s a property of who you are, though perhaps the more accurate word is influence. You cannot control the world around you, and you cannot force anything to happen. But you can influence the flow of events, in ways large and small. The single most relevant thing you can do is to know what you want, and have some idea why you want it. Don’t make assumptions; check yourself, verify your ideas about life, and let curiosity be your guide.

If Your Birthday is July 25
(The Day of Quixotic Exploits) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Self-esteem is the key to happiness, and your primary learning project for this solar year. It’s often said that Leos always feel good about themselves, though to others, your doubts may not be as obvious as they are to you. Self-esteem is about respect, which you cultivate like a garden. It’s about taking a balanced view of yourself, and spotting your judgments.

Written in the Planets
Plan your work, and work your plan. Tomorrow’s Sun-Mars conjunction in Leo is offering energy now and the impulse to get moving on something. With both the Moon and Mercury entering Virgo today, notice if your attention shifts to the details — especially what’s most practical or logical. Bear in mind, that’s not the same as being critical of everything. Finding fault only gets you so far in solving a problem; solutions take some heart, optimism and willingness to give things a try.

True Value

As we begin moving onward and outward from today’s Leo New Moon, the astrology seems to be setting us up to consider matters of the head and the heart. Where do they intersect, and where do they seem at odds with one another? What can one teach the other, and vice versa?

The centerpiece of the week is the conjunction between the Sun and Mars in Leo, exact Wednesday at 8:57 pm EDT (00:57 UTC Thursday).

This certainly brings the heart into the equation; though it does so in a very expressive Mars style, rather than in the more receptive mode of Venus.

Sun-Mars conjunctions (especially in a sign like Leo) are about getting active to feel good: start a project, especially something you identify with closely, and get creative. If you’re feeling insecure about something, find a constructive outlet (especially anything physical) to help channel those emotions and buffer against recklessness. There is the potential here to get a little caught up in the energy and not notice how much you’re putting out there.

If Your Birthday is July 24
(The Day of Exciting Instability) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must give yourself freedom to be yourself. You’ll know you’re really doing that because you notice the extent to which you’ve felt hemmed in, and like you cannot really say what’s on your mind. Push the edge; stretch your limits; take extra license to be what some might call ‘inappropriate’, especially if that means gutsy and determined.

Written in the Planets
Mercury enters shadow phase today, which means it’s now in the area of the zodiac it will cover again during its retrograde in August. Themes of the next couple weeks or so are likely to turn up again as everything builds to the approaching eclipse. Notice any developments; if possible, keep a record so that you can refer to these events later. If something you’re working on appears to slow down or peter out, try to remain patient: our current paradigm of universal immediacy makes the long game unfashionable, and a few weeks seem like months or years; but matters will take their course if you’ll only let them.

If Your Birthday is July 23
(The Day of Uncertainty Resolvers) | Birthday Readings: Cancer | Leo | Others
Today’s New Moon in your birth sign is an invitation to bigger and better things. You’re being invited to go beyond what you’ve ever accomplished, and the planets are saying you have the energy and the talent to do so. Just remember to think before you act. The main risk your charts are describing is being impulsive in ways that don’t serve your best interests.

Written in the Planets
The first of two Leo New Moons this year, preceding the Aug. 21 eclipse, makes this a pretty special time. As Amanda pointed out Thursday, today’s conjunction is an ideal moment to set your intentions, for the month ahead and perhaps far beyond; Mars close by will give that extra impetus. What world do you wish to foster, both within and without? What passion truly drives you? Where can you make a positive difference? Consider these questions today, and be prepared to reach at least partial answers. There may well be an ongoing process, but you have to start somewhere.
