Horoscopes
Aries
This is a day for connecting but not holding on too tightly to facts and figures, dear Aries. It’s a good time for learning, reaching out, and enjoying the process, but if you’re looking to know all or get a final answer on a matter, you might feel a little frustrated. Let that go and enjoy yourself instead. Your ruler, Mars, is connecting with Saturn in a creative way, and this can lead to inventive practical solutions and focus on creating or building in your work. You can accomplish much today!
Taurus
This is a good day for putting extra oomph into your work efforts, dear Taurus, and feeling relatively supported as you work towards your goals. Money matters are in focus, and although you could be a little concerned about your bottom line, this may be because you have been turning a blind eye to certain habits and don’t have all the facts before you. Try not to worry about things that you are not even sure about. Resolve to learn a little more before jumping to conclusions. This can be a good time for feeling that you can bring a little more stability into a relationship.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your sign shortly into the day, dear Gemini, and you can feel an emotional awakening of sorts. This is the beginning of a new lunar cycle for feelings, domestic matters, and comfort. With any new cycle, it’s important to go into with a healthy attitude. The weeks ahead are especially strong for getting things done, particularly around the home and with family, for banding together to work towards a common goal, and for special creative projects as well. Domestic matters can thrive now, although they can also take up a lot of energy and time. Today is good for cementing a bond or accomplishing something practical with a partner. Try to put worries aside so that you can focus on what and who matters.
Cancer
The Moon begins its transits your privacy and soul sector early into the day, dear Cancer, and this can bring the need/desire for some level of anonymity or withdrawal. This short transit precedes the Moon’s ingress into your own sign, which will occur on the morning of the 31st, and is a time for healing, renewing, and refreshing yourself emotionally. It’s a fine time to consider ways to make improvements to your life, particularly by putting an end to those things that no longer serve you well, and this can have to do with attitudes that are keeping you from enjoying your life more fully. Circumstances may be such that you are better off functioning behind the scenes just for now. Old feelings can come to light now, and this is the first step to healing. Watch for guilt – remind yourself that you are entitled to some time off. There is no need to speak about matters that you are still trying to wrap your own mind around. Others will simply have to wait!
Leo
You are inclined to seek out open and happy associations today, dear Leo, with the Moon moving into your social sector early into the day. There may be some sensitivity in your interactions now, but you may be able to use this to treat others as you’d like to be treated. Helping someone out could be a real boost now. Surround yourself with people and to let things flow rather than force any issues. There is good energy for creative handling of money or talents, and nice motivation to give form to and share some of your ideas or creative output. You are willing to work hard at perfecting a project today.
Virgo
The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart early today, dear Virgo, and this can bring your attention to your more worldly concerns, career, responsibilities, and others’ expectations of you in general. It can be a little difficult to handle all that you want to in these areas, as you can be called in many different directions now. It might be wise to let go of any unreasonable expectations of yourself in order to spread yourself out in a healthy way today. As well, this can be an excellent day for organizing or otherwise bringing more structure to the home. You are motivated to find solutions to problems in your domestic world or with family, and it can be very worthwhile to pour some of your energy in this direction.
Libra
The Moon’s move into your sector of spirit and expansion is a pleasant one, dear Libra, and can feel as if you’re emerging into the light. It’s a good time for looking ahead. Sometimes when the Moon is here we can be a little restless and hard to satisfy. With the Moon’s challenging aspects to Saturn and Neptune today, this is a real possibility. However, if you resolve to dream big and keep your feet on the ground, you’ll be in a good place. Answer your inner calling to put some adventure back into your life even in the smallest of ways, by reading something new or taking a different route home, for example. Routine can feel especially stifling today.
Scorpio
This is a strong time for your friendships and group associations, dear Scorpio. It’s also good for competitions and creative efforts. You are shining in these areas all week. You’re also likely to come up with some rewarding and exciting new ideas for future projects and endeavors. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house early into the day, turning some of your attention inward, however. This is a good day for observation, although the Moon’s challenging aspects with Saturn and Neptune can point to some ups and downs as you try to make sense of something that is hard to define at the moment. You might choose to work on organizing your finances today. Getting a better sense of where you’re at with resources can be comforting.
Sagittarius
Saturn in your sign is forming a creative connection with energetic Mars, dear Sagittarius, making it a good time to apply yourself to a project that’s important to you, particularly related to career and life path goals. You might also benefit from drawing up plans or lists that help you feel a little more organized. There is a real talent for getting to the essentials or to your priorities now. You can be especially hard-working today, although your social life can be somewhat distracting. The Moon has now moved into your partnership sector, and you can be quite relationship-focused as well today.
Capricorn
The Moon moves into your detail-oriented solar sixth house early into the day, dear Capricorn, stimulating your need to order your daily life in some significant manner for a couple of days. You may need to combat a tendency to zone out at times today, although if you play your cards well, you may be able to inject some imagination into what you’re doing in order to steady your focus. You get help from a creative aspect between your ruler, Saturn, and energetic Mars forming today. You can come up with some clever solutions to practical problems. This influence also adds some extra oomph to your personal appeal.
Aquarius
The Moon moves into harmony with your sign early today, dear Aquarius, and now transits your solar fifth house. You may be turning to creative outlets for expressing yourself. You want to stand out now, although you may need to underplay this a little with friends or groups in order to keep everything running smoothly. This can be a strong time, in fact, for doing some group or team work. You may be taking the lead in some way, and others tend to support your ideas and goals. Be sure to make some time for entertainment or hobbies today. Your appeal is strong and you could be getting some special romantic attention now.
Pisces
The Moon’s move into your soul sector early today can be a welcome influence, dear Pisces, particularly if you’ve been feeling a little overworked or overstimulated. It’s a good time for reconnecting with your inner world or family, although part of you could be fighting this urge if you’re called to duty in other areas of life, which is quite possible now! The best solution is to try to balance things out a little. In fact, you can find that once you begin on a project, particularly if you’re paired up with someone to get things done, you can really get going on it. Great ideas can come through a meeting of the minds, so while you should certainly attend to your need for a little more comfort and familiarity in your life, don’t pass up an opportunity to connect with someone you care about.

Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
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
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.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
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 29th:
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).
