Horoscopes
Aries
Communications about private matters, or matters that are sensitive and emotionally charged, tend to be easier in the coming three weeks, dear Aries, with communicative, analytical Mercury transiting your intimacy sector. Even so, you’re inclined to observe more than participate during this cycle. Your curiosity increases concerning all things complicated, taboo, mysterious, and unresolved. Your perceptions are acuter now as you notice different layers of situations and people. It’s also a strong time for sorting out financial matters and resolving conflicts. You may be doing some valuable research or investigation. Today, the Moon continues its transit of your creative sector for most of the day, and you crave attention and interaction.
Taurus
Now and over the course of the next three weeks, you thrive on communicating with others, dear Taurus, with Mercury in your partnership sector. Bouncing your ideas off other people revs up your own thinking processes, and even if you don’t always take their advice, you can benefit from their feedback. There can be quite a bit of weighing pros and cons, negotiations, and discussions. However, as much as you’re enjoying the mental exercise, be aware that you are often saying things from your head and not your heart, which can have mixed results. Avoid trying to score intellectual points or winning a debate at the expense of healthy communications. Today, you’re inclined to want to stick close to home. You’re building up your self-confidence.
Gemini
Mercury moves into your work and health sector today, dear Gemini, and will transit here for the coming three weeks. With the Sun just recently moved in here, you are even more concerned with daily life, habits, work, and health. You’re likely to do some organizing of your life in little ways that get big results. Tidying up your daily routines and improving habits can do wonders for you now. You’re more likely to see flaws and problems. Try not to strain yourself fixing things, as a healthy work-life balance is important, but do take advantage of these powers of observation. This is a good time to focus on perfecting projects, handle chores, and update skills. Analyzing work and health methods can be productive and worthwhile now. Work itself can keep you especially busy or might involve extra attention to detail and precise communications.
Cancer
The three-week cycle that begins today encourages you to share your ideas and create beautiful things, dear Cancer, with Mercury in your solar fifth house. With the Sun already in this sector, your need to be heard and seen as unique is stronger than usual. There can be a stronger focus on creative endeavors, children, romance, entertainment, and pastimes. It’s a great time for creative intelligence and expressing your ideas in more innovative and dynamic ways. Spontaneous conversation or learning can be in focus. People may be attracted to your mind and intelligence in addition to your personality in the weeks ahead. Today, the Moon in your security-conscious second house points to a play-it-safe attitude, however, just for now.
Leo
Curious Mercury moves into your sector of home and family today, dear Leo, where the Sun recently set up shop. This launches a three-week cycle in which your personal life is paramount, and a focus on tradition, the home, and family dominates. You think, speak, and write about the past, your memories, and history in general for some of you. There tends to be more activity in and around the home or more frequent conversations with family. You may be doing a little more work at, on, or from home, and entertaining in. You are also more able to express yourself with the people closest to you. There is a little less desire to reach out and connect with random or unfamiliar people, and more of a need to connect with family and loved ones. The Moon continues to transit your sign virtually all day, pulling out your more sentimental qualities.
Virgo
Mercury, your ruler and the messenger planet, enters your communications sector today for a three-week stay, dear Virgo, and feels quite at home here! While it’s not the best time for focus and concentration, it’s fantastic for feeling out new ideas and situations, for improving your communications with others, and for picking up useful and interesting information. Learning, speaking, writing, and transportation matters are in focus and generally good shape during this cycle. You will thoroughly enjoy both taking in information and relaying it. You crave mental stimulation now. It may be best to have many projects going and moving between them, as variety is important to you right now. Today, however, you continue to crave some level of anonymity until late tonight, when the Moon enters your sign for a couple of days, and you enjoy a busier pace and more immediate feedback from the world around you.
Libra
Mercury moves out of your sign and into your solar second house today, dear Libra, following the Sun. This move is great for your nerves, as you are likely to find that you are under less pressure to communicate and make quick decisions. Now that Mercury has moved on, you can be quite preoccupied with practical affairs. It’s a strong time for money-making ideas and ideas for improving a business or your daily life. It’s a great time for focusing on matters that truly need attention, as you’re less likely to become distracted. You’re attracted to practical, useful information and hands-on learning in this cycle that lasts three weeks. Simplicity is perfect for you right now, but do take some time for spiritual considerations.
Scorpio
Mercury moves into your sign today, dear Scorpio, and the pace of your life picks up. This three-week cycle can find you more talkative but also more inclined to make your own decisions without seeking out feedback. With Mercury in your corner, you can enjoy improved decision making and clearer communications. You keep yourself busy and crave more variety and movement in your life now. With the Sun and Mercury now in your sign, you’re attracting more attention and your words have more impact than usual. You’re quick to communicate, but sometimes a little too impulsive. You’re open to new ideas and experiences now.
Sagittarius
Mercury moves into your solar twelfth house today, dear Sagittarius, where it will visit for the coming three weeks. There is a tendency to think things through more carefully during this cycle and to keep many of your ideas and observations to yourself. You may be less accessible than usual these days! However, your powers of observation are boosted now as you see the world through a different lens. You might retreat a little more often to get perspective. It’s a good time to assess recent projects and interests. You may be tying up loose ends on a project or study. The Moon’s transit of your adventure sector virtually all day, you are setting your sights high.
Capricorn
Mercury moves into your social sector today, dear Capricorn, and in the coming three weeks, you’re likely to particularly enjoy, and benefit from, sharing ideas with friends and associates. You seek out intelligent and interesting company now. Sharing ideas with others tends to help jumpstart or clarify your own thinking during this cycle. This can be a popular time for you, and a busier social calendar is likely. You could be involved in the organizing of a group endeavor or teamwork now. This is a good cycle for coming up with inventive new ideas and for successful networking. There can be much to learn through group activities and conversations with friends now and in the upcoming weeks.
Aquarius
A Mercury cycle beginning today puts your mind on long-term goals and current responsibilities more often than usual, dear Aquarius. Your ideas or advice can be in greater demand during this three-week cycle. In fact, you may be taking the lead or managing others and organizing long-term projects now. You might thoroughly enjoy making lists and sorting out your plans. Your career can be busier or more demanding. Your smarts and know-how help you advance. You are soaking up valuable information now and should pay special attention, as information coming in can help further your goals or improve your career and business. With increased awareness of how you’re coming across, you may be taking more care with getting your communications right.
Pisces
Mercury enters your solar ninth house today, dear Pisces, and will visit this sector for the coming three weeks. This is likely to be a happy, hopeful time. You have the power to inspire and help others with your words and encouragement. Your desire to learn new things increases now, although you’re not always focused enough to dig deeply into new topics of study. You pay a little less attention to details and mundane matters, as you prefer to seek out more meaningful information. You’re looking for the purpose behind what you’re learning. You are particularly intuitive and visionary at this time. It’s an excellent cycle for stretching your thinking and entertaining new possibilities.

BALANCE OF MODES

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 24th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
