Horoscopes
Aries
There can be some restlessness today as you are not sure how deep you want to think or converse about a topic, dear Aries. The Moon spends the full day in your sign, and emotions move to number one on your priority list. While there can be some tension and impatience, you’re likely to learn a lot about yourself now. Through helping someone, you’ll feel stronger. Look for problem areas in your thinking or attitude that you can safely put behind you. With the final Saturn-Chiron square in a recurring set occurring now, this week is good for recognizing fears related to getting ahead, accomplishment, work, and knowledge or mental resources. You can be particularly sensitive to judgment or criticism today. Do what you can to avoid dwelling on missed opportunities, but aim to face up to problem areas rather than sweep them under the rug. This is, in fact, a good time for facing your fears.
Taurus
Healing and supportive conversations are possible now, Taurus, but people are short on patience as the day moves forward. As well, uncertainty about things you’ve left open in your past can interfere with your enjoyment of the present. The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, signaling a need for more rest and reflection. A Saturn-Chiron square active now seems to stir up fears or insecurities, requiring a tough, action-oriented approach. This is the final aspect in a set that has influenced us over the past year. It would benefit you to examine what is holding you back from pursuing your desires or goals heartfully. Others may be showing you less kindness or don’t seem to understand you, and while irritating, you may very well discover that you can take care of things quite effectively on your own right now. Look for ways to manage pressures and responsibilities while making accommodations for your emotional needs.
Gemini
Ideas are buzzing today, mainly along work or health lines, and your powers of investigation are strong, dear Gemini. You are busy today, and love to be! However, watch for scattered plans or disorganization affecting your decisions. Today and this week, you are in a great position to examine fears related to the direction of a relationship or ambiguity about where you’re headed in life, particularly if you feel some outside pressure to figure it all out. Others may seem a little hard on you about your long-term plans, which gives you the reason to pause and think. If you haven’t been following many rules in your work or if you’ve been unfocused, now is the time for a call-out of sorts.
Cancer
The Moon is at the top of your solar chart, reminding you of your progress and whether you’re on track or not, dear Cancer. Today, you’re full of good ideas but could have a hard time bringing them together. A Saturn-Chiron square occurs today for the final time in a set that began in December. Today and this week are good for tuning into any fears or concerns you have regarding your long-term goals, education, or free time. If you’ve been coloring outside the lines in these areas, you may now receive a small wake-up call to get organized and manage your time more efficiently. If you’ve been putting in too many hours with your work or duties, on the other hand, then this is a time to recognize the need for more freedom. Either direction the scales are tipping, it’s time to come to a balance.
Leo
This is a time for breaking some ground on family, emotional, and intimate matters, dear Leo, and while you’re doing some real power thinking and planning these days, some disorganization with thoughts is likely today, signaling a need to avoid overthinking things. Taking a break from problem-solving makes sense now. A Saturn-Chiron aspect that occurred in December and August is exact today for the final time in the set. Today and this week, it would benefit you greatly to examine ways you may have been holding yourself back on creative or relationship levels. Conflicts with a partner may arise from issues of feeling overly dependent or obligated. You can feel a little rebellious if you sense that you’re pressured to make a commitment or to follow traditions or rules that you can’t get totally behind. Whether you’re leaning more towards going your own way or sticking with the rules, it would be helpful to find a compromise or balance, which is possible going forward.
Virgo
You’re in an excellent position for learning new things or brushing up on skills these days, dear Virgo, but today you could be feeling a little too distracted or scattered to take in anything concrete. A Saturn-Chiron square occurs for the final time in a set that’s been in influence since December and can serve to expose some of the insecurities you have that may be holding you back from thriving. Today and this week, it would benefit you greatly to examine relationship goals and expectations, since nurturing a relationship and meeting personal, family, or household responsibilities can often work at cross-purposes, leaving you exhausted. Toning down a nonconformist approach to your relationships can benefit you in many other life departments, and solutions are available to you now.
Libra
You can feel compelled to talk through a problem today, Libra, but there can be distractions, impatience, or disorganization standing in your way now. If thinking has turned into overthinking, you’ll need to take a break. Today and this week, consider ways you can better organize your time and the balance between personal interests and duties or chores. A Chiron-Saturn aspect that first appeared in December and recurred in April forms for the final time in a set. Ambiguities or feeling drained or weak on physical levels can weigh on you now, and this can lead to a feeling of being behind or overwhelmed, but a solution to this is on the horizon. Taking things one step at a time, setting realistic goals for yourself on the daily, can gradually get you back in the game and feeling more confident. The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, and you’re likely to seek out a companion or feedback for what you’re doing today.
Scorpio
While there can be difficulties getting your routine to run smoothly today with Mercury and Uranus in an awkward aspect, Scorpio, there can be new ideas coming to you that have much potential. They simply need some time to evolve or attention to detail in order to blossom. Also today, a Saturn-Chiron long-term aspect (with us since December 2016) forms for the final time. This signals a time for taking a hard look at areas of life where you’ve been refusing to play by the rules and possibly missing out on opportunities as a result. Consider that you may need a little more structure and order to thrive, particularly with pleasurable or creative pursuits, romantic life, children, or hobby and leisure time, as a disorderly approach to these things can add to insecurities about money, resources, and self-worth. Solutions are on the horizon for these matters.
Sagittarius
While ideas are easy to come by, you can feel a little too scattered to lock anything down today, Sagittarius, and that’s just fine as you have some sorting to do before moving forward. The final Saturn-Chiron square in a set that began last December occurs today, and its recurring theme is strong this week, although now you can begin to see solutions more clearly. This is a time for exploring areas of your life where you’ve been too slack or where you’ve been going your own way when a more structured, organized, and disciplined approach would improve things. Home and family life or your personal life, specifically, may benefit from a more disciplined or orderly approach as uncertainty on the home front can very frequently prevent you from thriving in other areas of your life.
Capricorn
The Moon sits at the bottom of your solar chart all day, Capricorn, signaling a need for extra rest. You seek out more security and familiarity today, and this fills a useful purpose. Connections with friends are encouraging but can be unreliable or confusing today, however. A Saturn-Chiron square that has influenced you since December forms for the final time in a set today, and you can be particularly sensitive to criticism. Others seem to be more judgmental with you than usual, or you might perceive things this way due to insecurities or worry. It would benefit you greatly to focus on strengthening areas of your life that leave you feeling vulnerable. However, since you can’t possibly shield yourself from all outside criticism without building a wall around you, it makes sense to also work on self-acceptance. Consider that you may be harder on yourself than is healthy.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, stimulating your curiosity and encouraging busy-ness, dear Aquarius. However, watch for self-expression that’s too urgent or hasty today. Consciously try to slow yourself down if you feel scattered, tense, and disagreeable. A Saturn-Chiron square that has influenced you since December forms for the final time today and its themes are strong and active this week. Consider ways to bring more structure to your working or financial life, as disorganization, lack of schedules, or a rebellious attitude in these areas can be impacting your commitment to friends, social life, or happiness goals. You’ll gain stronger insight into any insecurities about your income or value/worth that may be holding you back.
Pisces
You have fabulous ideas today, dear Pisces, but they may not be catching on or could be too scattered at the moment to come together. There is still some evolution to them, so don’t discard them altogether. A Saturn-Chiron square that has influenced you since December comes together for the final time in a set today, and its themes are prevalent this week. It’s a good time to consider ways you can improve your life in areas where you feel insecure, vulnerable, or disorganized. As much as you’d like to achieve your worldly goals, personal reluctance or resistance to following all the rules or conforming to others’ expectations of you can seem to block your progress, and this becomes obvious now. This is a time for unraveling why you may be standing in your own way of achieving your goals. Look for the balance.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
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 the Moon 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).
