Horoscopes
Aries
There may be some ambiguity to deal with this morning, dear Aries, or miscommunication, but there is also good energy for new ideas and methods. Going with the flow today will help life run more smoothly, but be sure to entertain a different perspective on matters, particularly related to work and health. There can be opportunities to grow your finances or work. You may be feeling that you’re taking a step in the right direction. This is a good time for applying yourself to something you care about or that needs getting done. It’s also strong for getting a better understanding of past events that may have been on your mind.
Taurus
Sometimes when we dream too big we can get the feeling that our dreams are not realizable and give up on them, dear Taurus. However, if you focus on small, attainable goals and then work your way up, you are unlikely to feel so overwhelmed that you don’t even try. Surround yourself with people who believe in you. This morning, try to be especially vigilant with the details of your work, or, if you can, work on something creative, as you are in need of a little inspiration now. Keep in mind that misunderstandings are possible in the early part of the day, simply because people are having a hard time expressing themselves effectively just for the time being. This can be a wonderful day for personal attraction and perhaps a pleasant surprise romantically or socially. Misunderstandings can turn right around into something positive as the day progresses.
Gemini
The morning may not be especially busy or productive, dear Gemini, but this is important now. Try not to feel guilty for taking the extra time for yourself that you need. The Moon continues to move through your privacy sector, and it’s important to focus on replenishing yourself emotionally. Consider that your words may be misconstrued this morning and take extra care with them. If instincts tell you that it’s not time for a commitment, they’re probably right – trust them. Be gentle with others and don’t expect too much from yourself. As the day progresses, you’re coming into your own. The Moon will enter your sign early tomorrow, but for now, build your inner resources. A partner may bring a pleasant surprise today, and relationships in general are forward-looking, filling you with positive energy.
Cancer
Your relationships can be marked by a greater sensitivity to power and its use between both parties right now, dear Cancer. Changes may be necessary in order to get to a healthy place. Today is good for tapping into your imagination, but taking it too far is possible this morning. Enjoy a fantasy or two, but keep your feet on the ground if you’re in a situation that requires your full attention! Friendships are in stronger focus, and can be very beneficial now. A sense that you can start over or jumpstart a long-term goal is strong and motivating. Good energy is with you these days for communicating, connecting, and getting the word out. While commitments might be avoided early today, as the day progresses, you are bolder and clearer when it comes to sharing your ideas.
Leo
It’s unlikely that you’ll know exactly what you want to accomplish today in the morning, dear Leo. You could be receiving poor instructions or signals and may not be especially clear about your own needs. While the morning can be a little confusing, once you allow yourself to move along with the flow, you are more and more alert and able to pick up on both the details and the emotions. Aim to enjoy yourself and give yourself a little break from over-thinking things in order to work well with the energies of the day. There can be good news or prospects with regards to money, education, and travel now, and a nice connection with family or tradition that helps add a little more fuel to your motivation.
Virgo
This can be a wonderful day for imagination, dear Virgo, although this can be a little raw this morning. Try not to over-think things and instead let yourself be inspired by your dreams. If you are doing things that require your strong attention this morning, be a little more vigilant with details, which can be overlooked too easily now. You are a little more sensitive to others’ responses to you, and may be reading too much into them as a result. However, as the day moves forward, it’s easier to harness your imagination and compassion into useful things, such as helping a friend or partner to work through a problem. Enjoy a time out from thinking and analyzing too much, and enjoy the moment as you do.
Libra
You could be feeling either tired or inspired early today, dear Libra! Either way, you’re running on intuition and imagination. If you are able to, let your mind go, but avoid taking on additional commitments or pushing your body too hard. You might be tempted to fib or omit something important in order to avoid conflict, but try to resist. Take time off from over-thinking. As the day advances, however, decisions become easier and you are more inclined to find the right words and turn awkward situations around. You may very well find inspiration for a project today. You are a little more creative with money and might spot a good deal now. There can be a pleasantly positive surprise initiated by a partner.
Scorpio
While there can be some morning fogginess or lack of clarity, dear Scorpio, as the day advances, your spirit is renewed. Look for opportunities, particularly related to creativity or romance, that reinforce your goals and ideals. You can feel strongly committed now, and willing in to put in extra effort in order to make things work. You are shining now, particularly on a social level. Turn sensitivity into something creative, such as a poem or piece of music, or help others to see and feel their worth. Set aside time to connect with people who support and help you, or who inspire you. It’s a strong time for showing your appreciation and reinforcing a bond in the process.
Sagittarius
There may be some confusion or misunderstanding this morning, dear Sagittarius, that seems to get you off on the wrong footing, but as the day moves forward, you’ll quickly rise above the smaller problems. Your ruler, Jupiter, is in good shape now and this week, and today’s exact parallel with exciting, progressive Uranus boosts your mood and makes you feel that anything is possible. This can be a good day to take a break from too much thinking and analyzing, and allow yourself to feel and intuit your next step. There can be stimulation to think up a new plan, and even if you overlook a few details now, what’s important is that you are considering possibilities. Refinements can come on a more practical day.
Capricorn
While there can be some fogginess to the morning if we’re trying too hard to be “in the know”, dear Capricorn, the day advances very well particularly if you aim to go with the flow rather than worry too much about getting everything precisely right. Redirect creative energy into channels that benefit from it, or that can do with some sprucing up. Approach problems with your intuition. Move gently and let your intuition guide you. There can be wonderful energy for making long-term plans, particularly if you focus on the overview and theme rather than the details. Faraway places and new ideas are calling you these days, and today is no exception. Some of you could be considering plans to get away, whether this is an actual vacation or a break from the normal routine.
Aquarius
This may not be the best day for attention to detail, dear Aquarius, but it can be quite wonderful for inspiration. Break your mind free and entertain possibilities. Explore new ideas. Your ruler, Uranus, is parallel Jupiter today, and this inspires thinking in bigger, better terms. You could make a connection with someone who shares some of your ideals or attach yourself to a new dream or goal altogether that lifts your spirits. This can also be a good day for sorting out a problem on a practical level by taking a step back from it. For some of you, there can be a good deal, gift, or pay increase.
Pisces
This morning, you could be feeling a little off your game, dear Pisces, as if you’re out of step and not quite clear on where you’re headed. However, as the day advances, there is strong energy for turning this around. It’s a good day for work and health related matters, even if it begins awkwardly. You may be seeing the right path towards healing. Avoid thinking too much. There continues to be positive energy for making contact with others, for feeling backed and supported, and meeting with approval. Be attentive for best results when conversing with others. Tune out distractions and truly listen. Inspiration can come to you through others.
*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 28th:
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).
