Horoscopes
Aries
You are particularly focused on your relationships today, dear Aries, but you may be giving off some mixed signals. In fact, if you feel caged in or restricted in any way, you’re ready to make a stand. If you’re going to rock the boat today, be sure you know precisely what it is you want. As well, don’t lose sight of those things, situations, and people that you value most. Impulsiveness and blind rebellion can get you in trouble now. Avoid reacting too quickly. Schedules can be upturned, and although this can be frustrating, you can also turn this into a positive. As much as you’re excited about pursuing your goals these days, if you’ve been putting too much pressure on yourself to succeed, it’s probably time for a refreshing break. While doing your own thing can be good for you, you may want to avoid making a scene as you do.
Taurus
You’re pushing beyond your normal boundaries these days, dear Taurus, and this adds a nice splash of excitement to your life. However, there can be part of you that is resisting change which can emerge in small but disruptive ways. Moodiness can prevent you from pursuing your goals — you may be battling some restlessness, discomfort with a past problem that’s now reemerging or an unrealized fantasy/dream that suddenly appears unrealizable. Avoid impulsive actions and decisions right now. You may very well feel that you’re limited or restricted by others, or perhaps by life’s circumstances, but instead of rebelling or outright denial of your need for change, think about healthy ways to explore and assert your freedom.
Gemini
You’ve been seeking out more intensity in your experiences these days, dear Gemini. However, the part of you that needs some emotional detachment and distance can emerge today, possibly in disruptive ways if you’re not completely aware of the reason for rebellious feelings. There can be tension, willfulness, and impulsiveness in your social life and relationships today. Misunderstandings as to the depth of a connection could be at the root of some of the frustration, but it may very well be an inner conflict that’s causing discontent. Consider ways to preserve your independence in some manner while also exploring deeper feelings or commitment.
Cancer
If you’ve been feeling pushed, prodded, or overruled too much by others, dear Cancer, this problem can reach a boiling point today. In fact, it may not take much to get your goat right now, and a boss or partner, or perhaps career frustrations and irregularities, can seem to be the root of the problem. This may have roots in an inner conflict between your desire for the involvement of a significant other and your need for independence. There are ways to have both, but compromises must be made, and a commitment to better self-understanding should also be in place. Even so, through conflict or chaos, you may be able to find a way to put limitations behind you for a door to open for positive change.
Leo
As much as you love pouring extra energy into work or health pursuits these days, dear Leo, you need a chance to explore life more spontaneously from time to time. Today, upturned schedules can force the issue. If there are tensions surrounding working under a schedule or in a limiting, oppressive environment, then you can feel this acutely now. Try not to blow a fuse if things don’t go as planned, as the resulting detour you take may very well be rewarding. If your methods have been too rigid, then you’ll begin to see the value of making creative changes today. However, for best results, once you see what needs to change, try not to be too abrupt and all-or-nothing in your approach to making them.
Virgo
As excited you may be about a creative project or exploring a romance or personal interest these days, dear Virgo, you need a break from pushing too hard. In fact, you may be limiting yourself by focusing too intensely on one project or train of thought. If you’ve been caged in, even if it’s of your own making, you’ll feel it strongly now, and change becomes necessary. Avoid reacting too quickly and impatiently to irritating circumstances for best results today. Resisting change can lead to more complicated problems. Identifying the need to make changes and then carefully instituting them is your best bet. Abrupt moves will only serve to undermine you in the long run.
Libra
While a methodical approach to certain areas of your life can be very beneficial these days, dear Libra, there are times when you need some freeform activities or a refreshing break. Today’s Mars-Uranus influence can remind you, perhaps in a disruptive manner, that you need to be flexible and open to change. It’s possible you experience a clash with family or a partner now, and someone’s show of independence is abrupt. Surprises are in the mix when it comes to close relationships. You may not be able to rely on others to get things done, but you’re likely to discover that you can do just fine, and even quite brilliantly, on your own right now. Circumstances and feelings experienced today can remind you of the need to release your attachment to a particular method or even a person if it’s excessive.
Scorpio
You can be very focused on and excited about your personal projects these days, dear Scorpio. However, if you’ve been ignoring other needs in the process, this problem can reach a boiling point today. In fact, your life can feel very chaotic and imbalanced now. There can be a tendency to rush through communications, traffic, and schedules now. While inventiveness is a positive side to this energy, rashness is unlikely to work for you. Try not to push yourself through activities that require more patience, and aim to take a break if the things that excite you are interfering with order and happiness in other areas of your life. Identify areas that require more flexibility for best results today.
Sagittarius
Your desire and ambition to get your life into order or to improve a business are admirable these days, dear Sagittarius, but if you’ve been overdoing your focus on one life department, you are likely to feel quite a bit of tension today. The expression “haste makes waste” applies now. Watch for impulsive purchases or unresearched moves. Some of you could feel at cross purposes with a friend or lover over money, values, and respect. You may be dealing with erratic elements in your life and unreliable people. You want to go your own way, and this can be just fine, but try not to act insensitively in the process. Work on gaining more self-understanding, as much of the restlessness felt now can have their root in an inner conflict between a drive for security and an attraction to risk or excitement.
Capricorn
Erratic elements of your life can be prominent today, dear Capricorn, and can be seen as huge distractions now. Watch for impatient reactions to changes in schedules or interruptions. Consider that you may need to take a short breather from your pursuits so that you can maintain some sense of order in other life departments. You may be feeling restricted or overruled in some manner. The solution is not to fight it blindly and loudly, but rather to identify areas in which you can be more flexible, and to assert your needs to others in healthy, natural ways. Instability in your private or domestic world could throw you for a loop now, but you’re also in the position to make changes that you previously made you uneasy.
Aquarius
There are two very powerful driving forces with you now that can clash today, dear Aquarius. Your need for alone time is strong, but you also have a keen interest in keeping up your communications and connections with others. Your preoccupation with your personal life and projects has certainly been a priority these days, and in the process, there are times when outside distractions can seem intolerable. This is particularly the case today. However, consider that putting too much of your energies into one thing can backfire as it disrupts other areas of your life. Aim for a better balance. Mars in your soul sector forms a tense aspect with your ruler, Uranus, and this can be a tricky influence. It can be difficult to pinpoint the precise reason for discontent now but do consider finding ways to balance your needs for solitude and interaction with others.
Pisces
There can be a strong desire to break free from restrictions today, dear Pisces, but doing so mindfully is imperative now. Blind reaction to frustrating people or circumstances is unlikely to resolve problems, and it might even get you into an unfortunate position. Instead, identify areas of your life that you’ve been overdoing and put some of your attention into areas of your life that you’ve ignored. For many of you, your social life has been a huge draw, but this has sometimes been at the expense of tending to your practical affairs. Interruptions today might lead to a significant new perspective or could introduce new opportunities that you never considered before, so keep your mind, schedule, and options open.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
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 lifetime).
