Horoscopes
Aries
While the day is certainly good for entertaining, creative, and expressive activities with the Moon in playful Leo until tonight, dear Aries, there is also good energy for applying yourself to researching an idea or project. You can apply rationality and practical thought to normally emotional or sensitive matters. This can be a day in which people who you were previously trying to get in touch with are now available. Tonight, you’ll feel like doing catch-up work if you’ve been putting off priorities. Even so, there can be some tendency to rebel against any extra work you’ve recently taken on as you consider that you may need a little more space for spontaneous explorations.
Taurus
This week, an aspect between Jupiter in your recreation sector and Uranus in your privacy sector can call up some questions about freedom and enjoyment, dear Taurus, particularly if you’ve been overzealous in the pursuit of pleasure. While this is an important time for you to explore and express your creativity and to allow your inner child the chance to come out and play, if you overdo this to the point that other life departments begin to suffer, you’ll need to wrestle with guilt or other feelings of discomfort. For some, issues from the past can interfere with a present relationship. The solution is to simplify your life and divide your attention more evenly. Today, there is strong energy for constructive conversation. If you have a problem to handle, seek out a trusted partner or friend. This is also a good time to show a friend or partner your more reliable side.
Gemini
This is a strong day for applying yourself to work or research, dear Gemini, and for a certain flair with communications. You’re finding answers that previously eluded you, showing your commitment to the work you do or services you provide, and possibly tying up loose ends on an important project. Having a firm grip on your priorities helps you to focus on what’s most essential, but you’re also tuned in to fancy details and design elements as well. This week, however, there can be awareness of areas of excess in your life, particularly related to attention spent to personal and domestic matters. If you’re juggling too much, you might start to feel a call for more spontaneous activities or need for friends.
Cancer
There can be continued focus on practical affairs and matters of comfort and security today, dear Cancer. However, it’s also a strong day for expressing yourself creatively, learning something new, and studying or editing. You might even discover opportunities to turn a personal hobby or plan into something that makes money for you or opens doors to other professional opportunities. Alternatively, this can be about putting a natural talent to better use. This week, questions of freedom can be on our minds, however, with Jupiter and Uranus connecting in a somewhat challenging way. For you, if you’ve taken on too many personal projects or interests, you could find that this impacts your attention to responsibilities or professional goals. Look for ways to divide your attention in a more balanced way, even if this means cutting back on certain activities. Otherwise, the activities that you enjoy most can eventually feel burdensome.
Leo
The Moon continues to transit your sign until tonight, dear Leo, and today, forms few connections with the planets. This can lead to a sense that you can make what you want of the day, although you could feel especially self-focused. There is good energy today for study and research, so if you need to prepare for a presentation or interview, there is strong support for this now. This week, Jupiter and Uranus form a quincunx aspect, and this can present a dilemma when it comes to funding your adventures, travels, or education for some. For others, if you’ve taken on too many business projects or commitments, as much as you’re enjoying them, you could feel the need to free up some time for new or broader experiences and spontaneous activities. You’ll figure out a solution to this as you go along, but do consider ways to make room for both practical application and experimentation.
Virgo
This is a potentially excellent day for collaborating with someone to solve a problem or move a project to a new level, dear Virgo. It can also be strong for showing your appreciation for someone’s loyalty and help, which can deepen a bond. You tend to often go it alone these days, and it’s a strong exercise in confidence that you need and that is very good for you, but there are days such as these that your connection to others figures strongly and warmly. This week, a Jupiter-Uranus quincunx can serve as a checkpoint if you’ve recently taken on too much. You may need to simplify before excess in one area of life begins detrimentally affecting other life “departments”. Freedom is especially important to you these days, so make the space for spontaneity.
Libra
There can be special attention to developing your skills or increasing your knowledge today, dear Libra, and much potential for success. The focus now tends to be on practical skills and know-how. On another level, a Jupiter-Uranus quincunx coming exact this week serves as an important reminder that even with the things we love and enjoy, if we go overboard, we can end up restricting ourselves in other areas of life. Look for ways to better balance your life. For some of you, your increased need for solitude, time alone, or time to think, can be affecting a relationship. While a quincunx aspect often gives us a feeling that we have to make a choice between one thing or the other, there is in fact a way to find a compromise, even if the route to this is not yet obvious.
Scorpio
People are lining up for your ideas – you seem to have an especially strong sense of current and future trends these days, dear Scorpio, and practical insight as well. There is special style in how you are presenting your ideas and communicating your message, as well as a real willingness to back things up with hard work. If you’ve been taking on too many projects or spending a little too much time networking and socializing recently, however, you could begin to feel a little restless now. With Jupiter and Uranus forming a quincunx, you might discover that too much of even a good, enjoyable thing can eventually feel burdensome or wasteful. Make some time for yourself and for life’s unexpected moments, and be sure that work and health matters get their due attention. This way, you’ll be in a better position to grab opportunities when they arise.
Sagittarius
Yesterday, your ruler, Jupiter, opposed Chiron, and now Jupiter moves towards an awkward aspect with Uranus. This serves as another checkpoint when it comes to expanding your goals, reach, or projects. Consider your need to “play” freely from time to time – to act on impulses, to do something fun or creative spontaneously. If you are filling up your life too full of projects, even if they are thoroughly exciting, you’ll end up feeling too burdened or overwhelmed. That’s what this Jupiter-Uranus energy is about. It’s a reminder that we can’t overload our lives and handle sudden changes of plans or life’s unexpected twists easily. Keep some time in your life free. There is good energy tonight for solving an emotional or family problem logically and effectively.
Capricorn
This is an excellent day for sharing practical ideas with friends, dear Capricorn, or for sorting out a problem for or with a friend. You can really get to the heart of a matter, and you’re demonstrating just how reliable and helpful you can be. Even so, there can be some restlessness experienced today and on some level all week if you feel overwhelmed with things to do or choices to make. You’ll need to make some time for freeform activities and leisure – times when you can let loose your more spontaneous inclinations or adventurous side – otherwise even your more enjoyable projects could end up feeling burdensome. Consider needs for freedom this week, and you’ll do especially well.
Aquarius
Today and this week, if you’ve taken on too many projects, interests, or responsibilities, you might begin to feel these things impinging on your freedom, dear Aquarius. The answer may be to simplify or cut back on something, even if this is not the easiest choice. Be delicate when it comes to handling tricky topics now, and investigate a proposition or plan thoroughly before investing your time and energy into it. Watch for restlessness that leads to imprecise or sloppy communications. Otherwise, today is very strong for throwing yourself into a practical project or for learning new methods that help you master your work or daily routines. The trick now is to narrow your focus to one particular task and do it well.
Pisces
Slow and steady wins the race today, dear Pisces. Today and tomorrow, you’ll really benefit if you move in slowly towards your goals or into conversations, rather than rushing in. It’s a good time for looking to areas that need adjusting or perfecting. Build upon your skills, do editing work, and express your commitment to a goal, your work, or a project by focusing on it rather than only talking about it. You are especially inclined to pay attention to details and to approach things logically right now. Partnerships get extra attention towards the end of the day, as your focus turns a little more sociable, but differences in approaches or values may temporarily interfere with harmony. Perhaps your own earnings becomes an issue with a partner for some of you this week. Find ways to either separate partnership and business, or aim to share as much as possible with someone close to you in order they gain more understanding of your goals.

Event: Tr-Tr Mon Qnx Ves
Description: Transiting Moon Quincunx Transiting Vesta
Date & Time: 4 Nov 2015 10:22 pm
Event: Tr-Tr Mon Cnj Vir
Description: Transiting Moon Entering Virgo
We crave organization and order, and are quickly disturbed by anything standing in the way of these things. This is a good time for chores, organizing, and tidying. It’s also a time for scheduling health appointments and checkups, starting new routines, and generally tending to details.
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
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 (EST) on November 4th:
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 life time).
