Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun moves into your solar eighth house today, dear Aries. There’s special attention to those things hidden from sight, private matters, your deeper wants and desires, and sharing and power dynamics in close relationships until November 22nd. Today, a sense of beginning anew on the level of feelings and affections can figure strongly as the Sun aligns with retrograde Venus in this area of your chart. You see your relationships and attachments in an all-new light, which can prompt a new action plan. It’s a powerful time for personal revelations, particularly about past relationships and projects. You may receive further information about a past relationship that can be eye-opening, helping with closure. Even if things go nowhere or seem to go backward, it’s a necessary process for clarifying where you stand and what you’ll carry forward into the future. A bit of detachment can help you. Redefining your needs can lead to a brand-new approach to pursuing what you want in life, financially and emotionally. In particular, intimate relationships can benefit from a new start or vision. You have the power to put a limiting attachment behind you, but in a general sense, it’s a good idea to wait and see for the bigger decisions at this halfway point in the Venus retrograde cycle.

Taurus

The day brings a new solar cycle that puts the spotlight on your one-to-one relationships, dear Taurus, or your need for perspective and balance. Until November 22nd, you’ll be looking to find a better balance in your life, in general. It can be a time of epiphanies and fruition. Today, with the Sun and retrograde Venus aligning, it’s a time to get closer to your true feelings about a relationship. Learning new things about a previous relationship can figure strongly, or you’re coming to a new understanding of your relationship needs. Your goals in these areas may become clearer as you explore. You might open your eyes to something because you’re now truly ready to “see” it. Through these revelations, you gain further insight into an old problem, or you might reconnect with someone from your past, sparking a new approach. It’s a time to set intentions and goals that better reflect your redefined wants and needs or your expectations of others. This transit brings on new-beginning energy that’s strong for a fresh start or turning point. Focus on strategy and action plans rather than quick maneuvers for the best results. After all, we’re still in the middle of the Venus retrograde cycle.

Gemini

The Sun moves into your work and health sector today, dear Gemini, where it will transit until November 22nd. In the month ahead, you’ll be bringing more pride and energy to your work, habits, and health. With the Sun in alignment with retrograde Venus today, you’re likely to learn new things about old problems, mainly related to work, health, and relationships. This is a fine time to look back at past jobs, projects, and even co-workers for insight into current issues. Events or epiphanies occurring around now can lead to an attitude change that ultimately sets you on a new and improved path. Seeing where you may have been tripping up or chasing the wrong things in the past can be part of this. Brand-new beginnings in the material world should probably wait, but that doesn’t mean you can’t begin anew on an emotional level. Resolutions to change unproductive or unsatisfying patterns might be made now with new-beginning energy and your unique vision. A goal that is most appropriate right now involves bringing more harmony and beauty to your daily affairs and routines.

Cancer

The Sun begins its transit of your fifth sector of joy and creativity today, dear Cancer, where it will transit until November 22nd. This is a time to focus more on your creations, romantic life, hobbies, or children. Gentle encouragement to improve your life through creative self-expression, loving relationships, and extra time made for play and entertainment comes now. Today, the Sun shines its light on your past as it meets with retrograde Venus, and you’re paying attention to romantic relationships or opportunities gone by. Discontent with current entertainment, hobbies, connections, or pleasures can spur you to improve things as you progress. While dwelling on the past is unproductive, reviewing past attitudes, events, and feelings can be most helpful now. With new insight into past endeavors or relationships, you’re going forward with a new set of expectations and redefined needs. You’ll be reorienting yourself on an improved course, emotionally speaking. This insight makes it that much easier to seek out people, projects, and pastimes that genuinely fit your life and your evolving self. Today and the next few days are excellent for reevaluating critical areas of your life, mainly related to creativity, hobbies, romance, and friendship, in terms of whether or not they fulfill you. You might reconnect with an old love or friend or learn something new about a previous relationship.

Leo

The Sun begins its transit of your home and family sector today, dear Leo, and your attention turns to your personal life and domestic concerns. Mercury and Venus are already in this area of your chart, and you can be quite focused on making yourself feel comfortable at home and in your own skin. Venus continues its retrograde period until November 13th, and it’s now midway through this cycle, meeting up with the Sun today. During this retrograde period, you’re redefining and refining what you find valuable and worthwhile. It’s a fine time to view matters from a different perspective, particularly family relationships, home life, living conditions, and projects or studies. Especially with insights you gain now, you’ll be better positioned to understand your needs and values and make decisions accordingly. Reconnecting ties with people you love may prove particularly satisfying now. It’s an excellent time for discovering previously hidden or overlooked information. You could be working on problems with family or in the home or making solid plans to improve things. In many ways, you’re wiping the slate clean and ready to begin anew.

Virgo

The spotlight is on movement, ideas, communications, and learning with a new month-long cycle beginning today, dear Virgo. This cycle can put you into more frequent contact with others, bring extra activities into your world, and keep you on your toes. Today, there can be a strong focus on matters of the heart. With the Sun conjunct retrograde Venus, you’re beginning to see past relationships and expectations in a different light. In the process, you’re redefining what you now want and need from your connections. You might learn something new that brings clarity to something that has confused or even haunted you in the past. Further information can surface that shines a light on a past issue, or you could make a connection with someone from your past. Either way, you can feel as if you’re starting fresh. It’s a strong time to resolve to put negative attitudes behind you and pursue your true heart’s desires from now on. There can be a chance to redo a significant project or return to a project or research that once seemed a lost cause. You may recognize a line of study, personal interest, or another calling that’s a better fit for you.

Libra

The Sun now puts a spotlight on your resources sector until November 22nd, dear Libra, and life is about settling in and making yourself more comfortable and secure. It’s a fine time for taking charge of your finances and valuables, but it’s also an excellent period for recognizing your own value! The focus is on building and laying down strong foundations. Today, the Sun aligns with retrograde Venus, and you might get a second chance or a new look at a project, purchase, or relationship. The insight you gain now helps you begin anew and clears the slate for newly defined goals. It might be easier than usual to let go of personal possessions or other attachments that are cluttering your life, whether literally or figuratively. Desires illuminate, and they can surprise you! A bit of detachment can help you understand what you truly value and need, and with this new information, you’re setting out on a new path. It’s probably not the best day for buying a high-priced item, but you may look at money matters from a new and helpful perspective. Turn your attention to things you already have and think about how you can rework or recycle them.

Scorpio

The Sun begins its yearly, month-long visit to your sign today, dear Scorpio. You are at a personal peak of sorts, and you’re likely to feel more in charge of your life during this cycle. With the Sun and retrograde Venus aligning in your sign today, it’s a great time to set new goals, intentions, and resolutions. These intentions can focus on health, initiative, pleasure, and satisfaction. You’ve been seeing yourself, your relationships, and your experiences in a new light in recent weeks with Venus retrograde, and this new perception affects your path going forward. In fact, you may be redefining what you want and need from your relationships as you advance. Today, your charm, personal manner, and appeal have considerably more impact than usual, even if you’re a little aloof or distant emotionally as you review and reflect. At the same time, there’s a distinct focus on the past, and it’s not about dwelling or getting stuck there. Instead, it’s for checking the rearview mirror and making better choices for yourself going forward. Others crave the very qualities that you project quite naturally. Patience now will bring you the best long-term rewards.

Sagittarius

Today, the Sun begins a month-long transit of the sign just behind yours, dear Sagittarius. In the weeks ahead, you’re more naturally inclined to pull back a little from situations that are excessively demanding or competitive. It’s a period for dreaming, imagining, and processing recent events and developments. Today, retrograde Venus and the Sun come together in your solar twelfth house, and the past illuminates in a meaningful way. Your focus may be on love and past relating patterns. Of course, the past can be tricky, so tread lightly, but consider seeing old matters in new ways. More information may well surface about a private issue, helping you make better plans and future decisions. Recent revelations may clarify which actions to take. For now, process and digest things rather than finalize, as that’s what retrograde Venus is about, and we’re about halfway through. You’re in a wonderful position to start fresh emotionally. It’s an excellent time for putting dysfunctional attachments or attitudes behind you, especially those related to relationships. Even so, you’re still in a phase of reevaluating your feelings, taking your time, and perhaps reconsidering some projects.

Capricorn

The Sun heads into your solar eleventh house today, dear Capricorn, where it will stay until November 22nd. This yearly, month-long transit encourages your desire to make connections with others, to be part of a group or team, or enjoy the company of friends or like-minded groups. This is also a time to entertain new ideas, dreams, and plans. Today, retrograde Venus meets with the Sun in this area of your solar chart, and new information about old issues can come to light. The focus is on past matters, especially old projects and friends and lovers. You might learn something about–or make contact with–someone from your past. There may be a need to cut something from your life, such as a superfluous goal. Ideally, you get a better view of what is tripping you up, leading you to improvements. In the coming days, you’ll come to a better understanding of your friendship and love needs, and a fresh take on long-term projects is on the horizon as well. It’s time to approach friendship matters, group connections, and long-term happiness goals and projects with a new perspective. You could have renewed motivation to go forward with different expectations and demands in these areas.

Aquarius

The Sun begins its month-long transit of your solar tenth house today, dear Aquarius, bringing more power, focus, and conscious, directed energy to your career, reputation, life goals, commitments, and responsibilities. It’s a take-charge period when you more naturally take the lead, and perhaps the spotlight. As the Sun aligns with retrograde Venus today, you arrive at a powerful point for reevaluating your projects and goals. You’re in an excellent position to understand your needs, even if things are complicated. During this Venus retrograde, you see things differently, and areas of discontent stand out more than usual. Recent revelations can motivate you to start fresh, especially regarding money, business, public image, and relationships. You have a window into the past, and you can now see more clearly where you’ve chased the wrong things or steered in a direction that took you further from yourself. Based on this insight, you will likely redefine your goals and values in the coming weeks. It’s time to seek a more authentic path! Today marks the middle of Venus’ retrograde cycle.

Pisces

The Sun moves into your ninth sector of soul and spirit today, dear Pisces, encouraging you to expand your mind and your reach in the month ahead. Your aspirations and ideals are stronger driving forces in your life now, and life takes on more color as you look at it in new ways. Today, the Sun aligns with retrograde Venus, and a new perspective can see you redefining some of your beliefs, ideals, goals, and dreams. You may also see more clearly which past approaches or expectations sent you down the wrong path. Through this new light on the past, you can gain significant insight into mysteries from your personal history. It’s a good time to set up new intentions, particularly related to love, beliefs, studies, love, passion projects, and special interests. There can be a sense of emotional renewal and a fresh start or a new beginning based on current revelations about what you love and value the most. We are now about halfway through the Venus retrograde cycle, so it makes sense to wait and see before making bigger decisions. Aim to be patient with plans as feelings evolve.

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.

FIXED STRONG

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 23rd:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).
