Horoscopes
Aries
While the Moon in your free-spirited solar ninth house encourages broad thinking and aspirations, dear Aries, a Mercury-Pluto aspect forming now favors honing in on the details. This is a potentially strong day for talking strategy about business, financial, and other practical matters with someone, or simply for solving problems on your own. It may help, however, to speak or write out your ideas and plans, mainly because you are better able to sort things out this way. This is also a critical time for looking at your own desires and ambitions with greater honesty. Tackling inner demons may very well involve some analysis now with Mercury involved! You can benefit from uncovering secrets or investigating a matter more deeply. This is a good time for seeing flaws in your thinking or attitude that need to be discarded and put behind you.
Taurus
There can be illuminating conversations with or about a partner today, dear Taurus, and you stand to gain new insights into problems as information that was hidden in the past now emerges. While there are days for taking a step back from a problem in order to understand it better, today’s influences favor analysis and investigation. Relationship dynamics that are no longer working well for you may be identified now, which opens the doors to change. Aim for self-honesty and openness to overcoming obstacles and facing matters that are emotionally involved. With your ruler, harmonious Venus, you might often be tempted to avoid sticky or messy conversations, but today you benefit from these things, and you’ll feel better for taking them on. Some of you might make a favorable connection through, or feel supported by, a partner, friend, or in-law today.
Gemini
The Moon in your partnership sector aligns with Saturn today, dear Sagittarius, and there can be serious interactions with a partner, or you may be able to get something practical and useful done by teaming up with someone. Your ruler, Mercury, forms a helpful aspect to Pluto now, favoring putting your thoughts into order and solving problems. You are motivated to be effective and useful in your communications, and others tend to appreciate your insight, particularly people you work with. It’s a powerful day for analysis, research, and investigation. New information about your job or health can emerge, or light is shone on information that was previously hidden, and this helps you to make sound choices and decisions. You can be particularly wise about knowing what is no longer useful or good for you, and this can help you to tidy up your life in a significant way. Your powers of investigation are stronger than ever.
Cancer
This is a strong time for gaining new insight into a creative or romantic matter as new information emerges, dear Cancer, or you see a new layer to a situation. Conversations with a partner, romantic interest, or children are especially helpful today. Discussions are deep or cover deep topics. Creatively speaking, it’s a time for seeing things more clearly and for feeling things more deeply, but also for expressing yourself with power. If you need to discuss matters that may be considered complicated, this is a time for doing so, as others are more willing to look beyond the surface of things and to make an attempt to understand the more subtle elements of life. This is a good day for tending to details, studying, connecting, working, learning, and having a heart-to-heart, although the latter is best after the Moon’s alignment with Saturn late afternoon.
Leo
While there is a playful theme to much of the day, dear Leo, things are a little more serious by later afternoon. It’s a good time to add some structure to or work in a disciplined way on creative projects. Conversations can run deep or touch you deeply. There may be newly discovered information about family, work, or health that adds a new layer to your understanding of a situation. You can be especially interested in strengthening or repairing family, home, or living arrangements now. This is a great time for making long-term plans. You might have an “a-ha” moment as things seem to come together in meaningful ways, a mystery is solved, or a conversation occurs that provides the missing puzzle piece. You are likely to break ground on emotional matters. It’s a strong day for power thinking, planning, and strategy, particularly related to living arrangements or conditions; obstacles be damned!
Virgo
Ideas can be refined, polished, and developed today, dear Virgo, with new information coming to light, or secrets emerging. These are likely related to areas ruled by the third house (learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings). Mercury in favorable aspect to Pluto and your sign gives you an extra edge in your thinking, learning, and communicating, especially since Mercury is your ruler and is currently hosted in your communications sector. Your insight is so strong that you’re likely to get to the bottom of a complex problem. This is a great time for pursuing a learning endeavor, studies, or creative outlets. The Moon’s alliance with Saturn in your home and family sector this afternoon may narrow your focus and perhaps add a serious note to your personality, but it can also mean you’re getting things done around the home. Adding more structure or repairing problem areas can be successful and rewarding even though you may need to make a small personal sacrifice in the process.
Libra
This is a potentially brilliant day for problem-solving, dear Libra, particularly related to money or home matters. It’s also strong for devoting special time to a project or studies. You are willing to put in the research and others receive your well-informed communications positively. Conversations can lead to great ideas and useful potential solutions to problem areas in your life. You can be rather sociable these days, but you’re also interested in getting results today — you’re not content with only coming up with ideas or chatting. Conversations about money management or business strategy can be very beneficial. Socializing can bring financial tips or money-making ideas. You might discover information that was hidden from you or objects that were lost. It’s also a strong time for getting rid of unnecessary things, particularly if clutter has been a problem in your life recently.
Scorpio
You have an ace up your sleeve today, dear Scorpio, with Mercury in your sign forming a supportive aspect with your ruler, Pluto. Others tend to support your ideas, and respect for your insights and intelligence is forthcoming. Your powers of persuasion are super now. Your observation skills are especially keen, and you’ll quickly hone in on the information you need. It’s a good time to make a presentation, pitch an idea, promote yourself or your work, or simply to have a conversation that is meaningful to you. You might have new information to share or could break through a problem by revealing a previously hidden or secret detail. You might also use the day for making a budget, clearing up unfinished work, sharing useful tips, or doing editing work. New relationships formed now can be especially strong on intellectual levels.
Sagittarius
You are seeking out new meaning today, dear Sagittarius, and you’re likely to find it. You might learn new things about your inner workings, or reveal/uncover a secret that gives you a better chance of making sound decisions. Your instincts are on point when it comes to identifying things of value and potential longevity. While you may be very wrapped up in your own little world today, this can benefit you if it affords you the opportunity to think more deeply about a matter that brings you to an important conclusion. Even if you don’t want to share your ideas now, writing anonymously or in a journal can be very useful. Sometimes the process of writing things out and seeing the words can help you gain clarity. This can also be a good day for analyzing less personal matters, such as business and finance and discovering an untapped resource in the process.
Capricorn
You are especially aware, alert, and conscious of what’s going on around you, dear Capricorn, perhaps because you sense that others are taking you especially seriously. You’re also quick to hone in on the reactions of others to what you’re saying. Others are noticing you, and you have much in the way of personal impact. Friends can be especially supportive or helpful. Their feedback is valuable, although it may take a while to see it! New information or secrets may be revealed now, and this gives you new insight into a matter related to friendship, a business deal, or long-term plans. Interactions with a team, associate, or acquaintance can lead to strong ideas. You may be cementing a bond with someone through a conversation. Even so, there is a somewhat serious or withdrawn element to your personality today with the Moon in your privacy sector aligning with serious Saturn. You may benefit from some level of solitude in order to get things done.
Aquarius
This is a strong day for learning new information that empowers you, dear Aquarius, particularly along professional lines. Your own words can cause a bit of a stir, or they may simply come across more powerfully than usual so that you may be choosing them with extra care. It’s a good time to discuss professional and business-related matters with a trusted authority, as well as to come up with new ideas from old inklings. The use of strategy is especially important right now, as whatever comes up today tends to require extra thought and analysis, and is likely to benefit from a slow rollout. You may choose to share ideas selectively or to give only a little bit now and more later! Past good deeds can bring rewards to the present. Support from behind the scenes can be in strong play now.
Pisces
There can be wonderfully enlightening discussions today, dear Pisces. While this is an excellent day for making well-considered business moves, it’s also strong for social affairs and educational matters. Ideas can’t be rushed now, and you might make the wise choice of sharing them selectively with people you trust, or not at all just for the time being. A partner or love interest might seek you out for a conversation today, or simply have a lot to say. There can be an opportunity to come to a greater understanding of a matter, a person, and even your life purpose. It’s best to observe more than you share right now, as you stand to gain new information that helps you greatly. There can be rewarding situations through involvement with a group or team, although when it comes to business and career, you’d rather go it alone at the moment. Professional matters take up a lot of your time and energy today.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
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.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on November 2nd:
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).
