Horoscopes
Aries
Jupiter began its thirteen-month transit of your intimacy sector earlier this month, Aries, and today, the Sun and Jupiter align, awakening the need for a fresh approach to your intimate life and feelings of empowerment and connection. Some level of luck could be part of your day, such as a review of finances that reveals a profit or the discovery of resources you never knew you had, an offer of support, or a partner’s windfall. However, this is likely to be more about your confidence and motivation to make improvements than anything. Try to tap into Jupiter’s winning formula of an open mind, generosity, and faith rather than its tendency to excessiveness for greater success. Opening yourself up can help you attract the right things now. You may very well learn something about yourself or a relationship that empowers you to make profound and significant lifestyle changes.
Taurus
The best version of yourself tends to shine forth when in one-on-one situations and partnerships today, Taurus, as the Sun and Jupiter form an alignment in your relationship sector. Jupiter recently took up guest residence in this area of your solar chart and will continue to stay here, blessing relationships, for the coming year. You seem to attract people and situations that benefit your personal growth, and today can stir up the necessary motivation to improve your connections or enhance a bond. It’s a great time to make an extra effort to reach out. There can be someone who has an unusually encouraging and positive effect on you. Aim to address any need that might arise in a current relationship for growth and development rather than wait for matters to force themselves.
Gemini
Earlier this month, Jupiter began its thirteen-month transit of your solar sixth house, dear Gemini, and today, a seed may be planted as the Sun and Jupiter align. You can feel a real surge of optimism and confidence about self-care and self-improvement going forward, particularly through efforts to upgrade health, work, any services you provide, daily life, habits, and routines. You might discover new things to love in your work or everyday life, for example, or otherwise feel that you’re beginning anew and you’re in a favorable position. Events or epiphanies today can increase your commitment to, or excitement about, making positive changes. A new method to enhance your health or work can be part of the picture. You might derive particular satisfaction from helping others or through a service or work you provide. On the job or while pursuing your daily goals and affairs, be as generous and eager as possible, reach out to others, and look for attractive opportunities to expand your mind and experiences. Graciousness leads to success now. Attention to detail can be satisfying and enjoyable. You are getting the most out of the least, and while this is great for you, it’s essential to avoid taking on so much that you feel swamped. This can also be an excellent time for conversations and connections with a partner or significant other.
Cancer
The Sun forms its yearly alignment with Jupiter today, dear Cancer, and this can serve as a pleasant “reset” button in our lives. For you, this can be about finances, work, health, love, romance, and entertainment. The desire to improve your life along romantic or creative lines can be compelling now, and the need to start fresh can become evident with the events of today and this week. You’re likely to feel more optimistic, passionate, and creative than usual. You feel confident about pursuing your heart’s desire or heartfelt endeavors, passions, and loves. Your creative efforts are likely to thrive now and can be unusually energetic, spirited, and impassioned. There is a larger-than-life element to your feelings and desires today, which can serve as a fantastic motivator, although it’s probably best not to push too hard or take on too much as it’s all very new. Today is good for self-expression, dating, entertainment, purchases (although there can be some tendency to extravagance), pleasurable activities, and hobbies. Over the coming year, more opportunities are sure to emerge that serve to awaken hidden or dormant talents, and the ball starts rolling today.
Leo
You can feel a compelling desire to improve your domestic life now, Leo, as the Sun meets with Jupiter today. Jupiter moved into your sector of home and family earlier this month, and today’s aspect can be the start of fresh motivation to get the ball rolling. You might enjoy the chance to enhance family relationships, or possibly even to purchase real estate or otherwise upgrade your living conditions. This is a time for feeling proud of your most fundamental relationships, family, and home life. You might also release a burden or commit to growing your bond with someone important to you. Widen your comfort zone a little now, without going too far with unrealistic expectations. This is a time for thinking about growth and expansion, and for taking small steps towards improving your life from the ground up. You can be in a celebratory or happily domestic mood today and this week. Whatever you’re building, you’re putting your heart and soul into it, maximizing its chances of success. Today can also be strong for creative and romantic connections and expression.
Virgo
Jupiter entered your communications sector earlier in October, dear Virgo, and today, the Sun aligns with Jupiter there. This can serve as an energetic boost or new beginning along the lines of personal interests, studies, and connections. The Sun is putting a spotlight on your building curiosity and desire to learn, teach, and share. It can be a good time for news or information coming in that redirects you in a positive way. New ways of communicating, connecting, and getting around can open up for you. Your mind is more willing, open, and curious than ever, and you might gain new appreciation for things in your daily life that didn’t pop for you in the past. You can find reason to feel more confident about your ability to study, learn, and communicate. Others might be showing their appreciation for your writing, insight, work, or advice. You are drawn to information that brings benefits to your life. Making long-range plans for improving your life, particularly when it comes to learning and connecting, is favored now. You might also take steps to improve a relationship with a sibling, relative, classmate, or even a neighbor now.
Libra
Since Jupiter left your sign earlier this month, dear Libra, your life is often about building your resources and developing your talents or putting them to work for you. You’ll continue this journey through the coming year, and today, a Sun-Jupiter alignment can get the ball rolling. You can feel fresh motivation to get on top of things. This is a fine time for taking stock of where you’re at in a business venture or with your finances and resources. You may very well discover a resource or talent that has been dormant or left unnoticed. Be generous and high-minded for best results now, as these are the better traits of Jupiter that help you attract success. Overdoing things is Jupiter’s downfall but can be avoided with conscious effort. You can be feeling more and more confident about your ability to manifest your desires now, and this helps attract the right things to you.
Scorpio
Earlier this month, Jupiter began its thirteen-month transit of your sign, Scorpio, and today, the Sun aligns with Jupiter, getting the ball rolling with this beneficial transit. This can feel like a new beginning of sorts as motivation to improve your life skyrockets. This is a time for making your own opportunities through putting more faith in yourself and your capabilities. Now and in the year ahead, you’re in fabulous shape for investing in your personality. Today is strong for you both personally and professionally since the Sun and Jupiter rule your career, reputation, and finance sectors, and these areas of your life benefit as well. Ideas for future projects can be golden. This is a standout time for influence, faith, and hopefulness. While there can be a strong sense of starting fresh, you’ll do best to launch brand new ventures after the New Moon in your sign on November 18th. Today, enjoy the good vibes and visions of the future.
Sagittarius
The Sun and Jupiter align in your privacy sector today, Sagittarius, and this can serve as a fantastic motivator to make improvements in your life. With Jupiter in this area of your solar chart for another year, the period ahead is excellent for developing a deeper connection with your intuition and a better relationship with yourself from the inside out. Your sympathetic nature deepens, and you can thoroughly enjoy helping others, as well as using your own inner resources to better understand your life path. Today and this week, these needs are awakened and invigorated. Your desire is keen to make peace with the past and live a more emotionally empowering life. This is a time for discovering your more profound needs and feeling good about what you uncover. There can be benefits to some level of solitude or moments of reflection today. A revelation, empowering thought, or significant memory can emerge from deep within, and this can give you a real confidence boost, or there can be an event that similarly stimulates you. Unloading a burden can help release you from the past or its hold on you.
Capricorn
The Sun and Jupiter come together in your social sector today, Capricorn, and this can be a time of rewarding, pleasant contact with others or a deeper connection with your own faith in happiness plans and goals. Opportunities to improve your links with friends, groups, and networks are likely to emerge in the year ahead, and today, there can be events and feelings that get the ball rolling along these lines. It’s a great time to set new goals and resolutions that reflect these desires for connectedness that are awakening in you. Friendships begun this week can be extra special ones. Your spirits are high, your attitude is fresh, and your sense of community is strong right now. Particularly after the New Moon on November 18th, you’re in a great position to expand your reach with friends, social media, associates, and technology. You’re likely to be received very well now..
Aquarius
The year ahead is potentially excellent for opening you up to opportunities to climb towards success or advance your goals, dear Aquarius, and your faith in yourself, performance, or what you do is integral. For some of you, this is not about getting a boost towards your goals, but for awakening a particular ambition or long-term goal. Opportunities to expand a business and for personal growth can arise today as the Sun and Jupiter align at the top of your solar chart, awakening your desire to improve and excel. Believe in yourself and your abilities for the most success, but do so without exaggeration since Jupiter’s tendency to go overboard can be its downfall. Generosity and sincerity are favored in all connections made now. Others may recognize or acknowledge you for your abilities and efforts.
Pisces
Jupiter entered your adventure sector earlier this month, dear Pisces, and will stay there for over a year. This puts you in a great position to broaden your horizons in a significant way, and today’s Sun-Jupiter conjunction gets the juices flowing, awakening your need to discover, learn, and grow. Success now has much to do with your visionary, optimistic approach. There can be an opportunity to do or learn something entirely new and beyond your normal bounds and routines. You’re in an excellent position to promote, communicate, and publish. There can be beneficial long-distance connections made. New hope and optimism are with you this week, inspiring you to reach out of your usual comfort zone to embrace new experiences and ideas.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
LIBRA STRONG
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.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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.
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: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 26th:
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).
