Horoscopes
Aries
This is a good time for learning or working on the go, dear Aries, or for doing some wonderful thinking in motion. Even so, there is strong energy for quiet time, family relationships, and comforting or homey activities. You might be craving a little more connection with people you love or your roots. You seek out the familiar now, and this can in fact serve to strengthen you for future more adventurous endeavors. This is also a good time to mend broken fences with people if this is needed, and for bringing a little more harmony into your world. You are taking special comfort in reliable relationships and activities.
Taurus
Through a steadfast, reliable approach, you have much to add to your relationships today, dear Taurus, particularly romantic and intimate connections. Creatively speaking, you’re in a good position to firm up your creations or plans. Today is also good for communication, learning, sharing, and your social life with a Grand Trine occurring in your relationship sectors. This is an intuitive influence. Your ideals are in strong focus, and you’re drawn to people who inspire you. Conversations can be illuminating. There is a nice flow to your communications, and you’ll enjoy the fact that people are picking up on the intention behind your words.
Gemini
The Moon leaves your sign this morning and enters your sector of values and resources, dear Gemini. You are seeking balance on an emotional level, and you could feel that you’re more settled and comfortable with emotional needs less urgent. You’re drawn to physical and sensual comforts, and tend to enjoy the moment more than usual, particularly as the Sun and Neptune also support your endeavors. Insight into business, financial, service, and health matters can be stellar now, particularly if you listen to your inner guide rather than pressure your mind to think up answers. You could be feeling a sense of mission now. A partner, counselor, or special friend is likely to be especially supportive, offering practical guidance.
Cancer
The Moon enters your sign early this morning, dear Cancer, and you begin anew on an emotional level. Put issues behind you that no longer serve you well. Wipe the slate clean on an emotional level and start fresh. Break out of your shell and dare to go against the grain if you feel the desire. While you might awaken feeling a little sluggish, as the day progresses, so does your mood. You are more powerful and visible right now. It’s a time for centering yourself and channeling your energy creatively. There is a healthy balance of optimism and caution so that efforts and plans you make now tend to hold weight down the road. In the coming weeks, you are more inclined to want to balance things out in a partnership. Imbalance can really leave you feeling off-center.
Leo
This is a strong time for quiet activities and some introspection, dear Leo. Take some personal space if you need it, and tune into your inner world. Energy levels may not be strong just for now, but you can benefit from a gentler pace. You may solve a problem or help someone with ideas or knowledge, but for the most part, you are better off with quiet, productive activities. A review of recent events is appropriate now as you wind down a lunar cycle. This can also be a strong day for sorting out a financial problem. While emotional matters are in strong focus, you’re also clearer than usual on the practical plane.
Virgo
This can be a strongly creative day for you, dear Virgo, particularly when it comes to building, design, and structure. In a general sense, the coming weeks are powerful for design with Pallas now transiting your creative sector. Your vision is unique and inspiring. Today, you have special style, and might effectively paint yourself in a very good light or solve a complex problem. When it comes to love, you’re thinking practically and in terms of the long view. It’s also a good day for your social life, communications, and teamwork. It’s easier than usual to muster up support and cooperation, and brainstorming can help you move your plans forward.
Libra
This is another good day for connecting with your inner world, dear Libra, even with the outside world demanding your attention. Insight into money and business matters is excellent again today. You are also more able to express feelings or impressions that you frequently leave to the imagination or can’t find the words for. You are coming across as competent and responsible today, and tend to earn the respect of people in authority. You have steady energy working for you both personally and professionally. However, this is not a day for putting all of your cards on the table. Pass on information on a “need to know” basis only.
Scorpio
You are drawn to, or have special appreciation for, true-blue friends and reliable people in your life today, dear Scorpio, as you have a real desire to count on others now. This can be a good time to receive or give mature advice, or to consider the practicality of plans. Information coming in through friends or networks can be especially helpful. Even so, this is a wonderful day for creative inspiration. Emotional energy runs high, and you’re inclined to feed it further with interesting topics, interactions, and experiences. This is not a time for strict routine. You may be looking for a higher meaning to what you’re doing now.
Sagittarius
This is a strong day for earning respect and gaining support from others through your actions, dear Sagittarius. People around you are appreciating your steadfastness. Cooperation can be excellent now. There can be a good sense that you’re supporting one another in a relationship, or that your goals are meshing well with the people you care about. Business relationships can benefit now. Agreements tend to be mutually beneficial now. Today is about showing respect, and the wonderful side effects of doing so! It’s also a good time for tuning in to your inner guide with a nice connection made between the three sectors of your solar chart that have to do with your inner world, family life, and emotions. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge those tricky things that you might normally sweep under the carpet. Use this time to find answers to emotional dilemmas.
Capricorn
Now and in the coming weeks, you’re especially interested in ways to stand out for your creativity or unique viewpoint, dear Capricorn. Others tend to take special note of your intelligence and insight. Your approach is a little more confident and you’re not as reserved when it comes to asserting your opinions or sharing your ideas. There can be especially interesting people coming into your life. Today is good for communicating warmly. You are more approachable in your manner, and more inclined to attract positive people or experiences into your world. This is a good time for repairs and resolutions, and working together with someone can be particularly productive.
Aquarius
You’ll do well today if you focus on harmonizing, beautifying, or otherwise bringing more balance to your personal environment, dear Aquarius. This can apply to your workspace as much as your home, as you’re in a rather practical frame of mind these days and can feel quite inspired to redefine goals in your work, health, and financial world. You can experience a stronger desire to be of service to people you care about, or you could be feeling a little more in tune with the work you do or the self-care programs that you have in place. You could find that going with the flow comes naturally today, and in fact improves your mood.
Pisces
You’re entering a cycle that can bring you into contact with particularly interesting and perhaps unusual people and groups, dear Pisces. It also brings strong energy for especially unique ideas and plans. Today is strong for expressing your more creative, playful, and romantic side. You are being framed especially well, and can find it easy to access your “inner child”. While your mood is rather outgoing and your desire for fun is strong, you can also come to very practical, inventive solutions to work or mechanical problems now. A partner could show support for your long-term goals now. Agreements tend to be respectful and mutually beneficial today.

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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 31st:
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).
