Horoscopes
Aries
You may be a little misguided in your compassion today, dear Aries, with a Venus-Neptune square occurring in your sectors of faith. You might experience a small letdown or awareness that something you were expecting might not come to pass. However, putting some illusions aside can be healthy as you make room for more realizable goals. Others’ opinions may be a little disappointing now. You are unlikely to be as productive as you’d like to be, but if you stumble upon an opportunity to rest, it’s a good time to do so. It might also help to let go of the need to know or fully understand your relationships for the time being. You don’t like the feeling of being taken advantage of, so do what you can to draw reasonable boundaries and lines if too much is asked of you.
Taurus
Your ruler, Venus, in a challenging aspect with Neptune today can cloud your vision, dear Taurus. It can also play with your mood, motivation, and drive, but this is a temporary thing. Areas of life that may be up in the air or unclear include friendships, boundaries in your relationships, work, and intimacy. Questions of who’s in your corner can be raised now, or there may be blurred boundaries with someone you care about. You may be dealing with a romantic or social disappointment today, but the good news is that it’s clearing the way for more clarity – you’re making room for new and improved goals and turning your focus to those things that matter more.
Gemini
You can be dealing with evasiveness in others today, dear Gemini, which can be frustrating, but it might also send you on a detour that’s completely worth it in the end. It may not be easy to see others clearly today, particularly when you’re too personally involved. Something seems up in the air, or there can be frustrations with what’s left unsaid. A lack of general direction or a clear life path may be negatively impacting your relationships. Objectivity is missing now. If you strive to enjoy the moment without borrowing from the future, however, you can have some fun today, particularly on a creative level. The major key to enjoying today involves letting go of too-high expectations.
Cancer
You may be seeing something through the lens of wishful thinking today, dear Cancer, with Venus in challenging aspect to Neptune. It can be difficult to make room for and enjoy your work with dreams and fantasies filling your mind. Restlessness is likely as you tend to tire quickly of all that is mundane and routine. Relationships are not straightforward now, or you may be wondering where you stand on a matter, but there are more questions than answers now. Resolve to pay better attention to your spiritual needs going forward, as they are real and can seep into your life in disruptive ways if you forget to nourish your spirit.
Leo
You may be dealing with uncertainty today, dear Leo, with a Venus-Neptune square active today and playing with your perceptions. Watch for a tendency to pick and choose which cues from your environment to see and which ones to overlook. There can be a veil over your eyes when it comes to your relationships, and perhaps some blurred boundaries or uncertain feelings. It’s difficult to be objective now. Your tastes are exotic today, and you may be attracted to those things that you can’t have or that are just out of reach! Explore different ways to enjoy yourself, but avoid pinning your hopes on impractical ventures or elusive people right now. Once you let go of unreasonable expectations, you can get into a beautiful place.
Virgo
It’s likely that you’ll be dealing with uncertainties today, dear Virgo, and perhaps some vagueness or elusiveness with a family member or a partner. Avoid pinning your hopes on other people to make you happy. Making yourself happy makes the most sense, although it can be a little tricky accepting that happiness is found within and not outside of you. Emotions and affections can be hard to make sense of right now, so do your best to hold off on drawing up conclusions. Consider that idealism is coloring your perceptions now, particularly of relationships, although this can also extend to the material world.
Libra
The day is best used for rest and reflection, dear Libra, as the Moon spends the full day in your soul sector, and your ruler, Venus, forms a square with dreamy Neptune. Of all the signs, Libra is one of the most capable of being objective, but today, it can be difficult to see things so clearly. On some level, you may be attempting to feed previously held beliefs about someone and, in the process, not honestly facing reality. Save important decisions for a better day, as you may be glossing over vital details right now. This is a time for letting things flow and trusting in the process. However, when it comes to facts and figures, you may need to pay extra attention to getting things right.
Scorpio
Letting your imagination loose can be helpful much of the time, dear Scorpio, but it can sometimes take you places that don’t serve you well. There is a tendency today to hook onto an idea or dream that is impractical. A challenging aspect between Venus and Neptune can convince you to borrow from the future, and this can be about making a purchase beyond your means or investing emotions and energy into something that’s unlikely to pan out. Use this time to increase your powers of empathy and compassion, but not to over-idealize someone or a situation. It’s very likely that you’re chasing the wrong thing today, so take the time to learn your true needs.
Sagittarius
You might have a hard time making your desires known right now, dear Sagittarius, which can lead to a feeling that you’re a victim of circumstances. However, it’s important to avoid waiting on others to guess your needs. Wishful thinking is just fine if it inspires you or motivates you to go after what you want, but if it only serves to leave you wanting, then you should probably let it go and get on with your day! Focusing on realizable goals, and stopping to appreciate what’s already in place, will bring the most satisfaction now. However, ignoring your spiritual needs is not an option, either. Resolve to feed your needs for more inspired living going forward. Today’s energy is deceptive and confusing at worst, and very creative at best.
Capricorn
Imagination takes on more power and influence today, dear Capricorn, and if you use it for relaxing or creative activities, then you benefit. However, the tendency today is to pin your hopes on something unlikely to transpire. You may be a tad withdrawn now, and possibly quite sensitive, so try not to schedule activities that are particularly demanding or competitive. As well, it may be best to avoid speaking too soon about a private matter. You may very well be jumping the gun now. Feelings of discontent can be vague, and whims might mask the things you are truly longing for or missing. However, if you aim to get in touch with true needs, you’ll put yourself in a better place.
Aquarius
It can be difficult to assess the real value of people and things today, dear Aquarius, with Venus in a challenging aspect to Neptune. You might end up chasing a pipe dream or investing emotions, energy, or money into something that fails to truly satisfy. There might also be a small disappointment with a friend if wires get crossed or there is an error of omission. It may be best to put off spending and lending just for now. Self-discipline can be lacking, or you could have difficulties sorting out your priorities. Uncertainty doesn’t always feel great, but letting go of a burning need to define things or to be “in the know” can help you a lot now. If a plan or goal now seems less possible, it might simply need some refinements. However, if it’s just not serving you well, make room for one that does.
Pisces
Feelings, needs, and desires can be complicated today, dear Pisces. There is a tendency to look outside of yourself for something that you imagine will make you happier or more fulfilled. However, this is a wild goose chase, and might even lead to deeper feelings of discontent. Aim to get in better touch with what may be missing from your life and then make plans to work on it. In your relationships, avoid band-aid fixes if it means you must mislead. Intentions are good, but problems can grow if they’re ignored. The urge to escape certain responsibilities or potentially awkward situations should be nipped in the bud – ultimately, putting these things off will end up costing you more. Evasiveness or a noncommittal attitude may serve to alienate someone. You don’t have to have all the answers now, but you can aim to be present and involved regardless.

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 25th:
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).
