Horoscopes
Aries
The Sun and Mercury come together in your solar eighth house today, dear Aries, and you’re likely to be seeing an intimate relationship or financial issue more clearly now. If you need to sort out a complicated matter, this is a great time for doing so. It’s not a time for deep connections, but it’s good for looking at deeper issues with more objectivity and reason. Detaching yourself just enough from emotions can, in fact, be quite useful now, as you can share your ideas and thoughts in a non-threatening way. You could be solving a mystery or problem. You can gain new insight into your motivations and what makes a partner tick. However, as the day advances, you begin to crave more spontaneous and emotional interaction.
Taurus
Mercury and the Sun come into alignment in your opposing sign today, dear Taurus, and mental energy is strong and in the spotlight. You can be doing a lot of processing, sorting, and organizing your thoughts and ideas today, and interactions or conversations with someone can help jumpstart important thinking. Relationships themselves can be the major topic of conversation now. Some emotional detachment can be quite helpful now. Conversations can happen that may not engage your emotions, but that can be very constructive, fair, and supportive. There can be new clarity or a turning point in a relationship now. Later today, emotions and impulses begin to overrule mental energy. Opening up conversations about personal interests and aspirations can help refresh a bond with someone. You are paying extra attention to other people’s needs now.
Gemini
The Sun and Mercury, your ruler, join forces today, dear Gemini, putting you in the spotlight, quite possibly about your work or services. It’s a time for becoming clearer about work or health issues, or for gaining more clarity about these things. You’re likely to be sorting out your thoughts and reasoning things out logically. Details are important now and will serve you well. Particularly favored now are making plans and lists, editing, refining, and talking things through. Work or daily routines can keep you especially busy, and an important discovery may be made in the process. While the first half of the day favors the world of reason and mental clarity, as the day advances, emotions come into stronger focus. You might learn something valuable about a partner or your deeper desires later today, as there is more honesty and self-honesty. You are fearless about facing feelings.
Cancer
This is a good day for seeing things more clearly, solving problems, and making decisions, dear Cancer. Sharing your ideas about or with a lover, children, and friends can be in high focus now. You can gain some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, or finances. Your communications are entertaining and fun, and you are taking more pride in your ideas or creations. Creative projects could reach a turning point, or there can be a romantic revelation. Observations made now are likely to be significant, and assessing recent ideas can be beneficial. Later today, you’re willing to take action to put something behind you to make way for the new. Interactions with, or situations concerning, a partner are revealing. You can learn a lot about someone if you are willing to look for answers.
Leo
This is a fine time to clear the air if needed, dear Leo, and for meaningful conversations about or with family. Things may be coming together on the home front or regarding living conditions. This is also a time for sharing memories, making long-term plans, solving problems, and working through details. You are taking pride in your reasoning abilities and your ability to handle personal matters effectively. Analyzing emotional issues is helpful today. Conversations with family and close loved ones are especially significant now. Later today, there can be brave new insights into your world. Work matters can be revving up and highly motivating, and you might learn of a new health or wellness program that you are excited to apply to your life. Physical activities can be healing.
Virgo
You are communicating with more energy and enthusiasm now, dear Virgo, and wonderful things can result from conversations you engage in today. Pay particular attention to details, news, and ideas emerging now with the Sun and Mercury coming together in your communications sector. You can gain increased clarity on a project, plan, or study, and problem solving is highly favored now. You, or your ideas, may be in high demand. A recent idea or project can reach a turning point as new details emerge. There can be a new understanding of a career goal or a breakthrough in learning. Later today, interactions and insight regarding love and intimacy can be very revealing. The arts, particularly dancing and physical creative arts, are favored for you. You are willing to take an emotional risk, and it’s likely to pay off.
Libra
While the Moon’s move into your sign late morning intensifies emotions, dear Libra, there is a very logical, mentally bright energy to the day. This is especially the case regarding money matters and practical affairs, and new insights, ideas, and perspectives on these things can figure strongly now. You might turn recent ideas into solid plans, as you flesh them out with details and specifics. There can be a fruition or turning point of a project first considered in September. Your interactions later today can be particularly rewarding as you push beyond the usual barriers and get to the heart of a matter. Complicated problems seem to be easier to understand when you allow your intuition to work for you. Good news may arrive now, or you might have an especially stimulating conversation. Personal appeal is very good today, and relationships, although a little competitive, can be dynamic and exciting now.
Scorpio
The Sun and Mercury, both in your sign, reach an alignment today, dear Scorpio, and you want to be heard! You feel compelled to express your ideas and make an impact. You may very well be the topic of conversation today, and some of you may be asked to speak on a matter officially. This can also be a good time for career opportunities. There may be an epiphany or culmination of a project now, and you’re able to see details you overlooked in the past which adds to clarity. Others tend to follow your lead today. By tonight, your words can be quite healing. Love and attraction are strong notes in your life right now. Your powers of attraction run high, and there is a sense of moving forward. You are facing challenges head-on and determined to resolve problems.
Sagittarius
The Sun and Mercury join forces in your soul sector today, dear Sagittarius. You may be analyzing and processing new ideas and experiences. Details reveal themselves, or conversations you have fill in blanks. It’s a time for coming to a definite conclusion or decision. You are better able to communicate or rationalize a matter that, before today, was difficult to express and understand. There can also be creative insights into money-making prospects. You could be taking action on a financial, family, or security matter that puts you in a better place emotionally. Family and friends seem to be showing you the way towards positive change. Relationships demand your attention! Even though you can be a little caught up in your private world, personal appeal is big today, so take advantage.
Capricorn
Today is good for seeing a plan or friendship with greater clarity, dear Capricorn. It’s a powerful day for clearing the air and communicating your intentions. You can be excited about emerging new ideas for long-term plans and projects, or the full details of a plan are born now. With Mars in your sign, you’ve been coming on more strongly than you typically do, and you have more energy to spare. You are pursuing your desires and pushing personal plans forward. Today, you have a distinctive edge in this respect. Your personal magnetism heightens, and you may very well win who or what you want. Use this time for expressing yourself creatively and persuasively. You are putting fears behind you now. You might also enjoy coming to someone’s aid, or taking the lead on a project.
Aquarius
You can gain clarity regarding a career matter, life goal, or responsibility today, dear Aquarius. Your powers of reasoning are particularly strong right now, and there can be meaningful conversations or communications occurring now that propel you forward. It may be that you are verbalizing something that you’ve only thought about, which frames it in a new way, aiding your thought process. This can also be a time when a partner has something important to say, or when a negotiation or compromise occurs. Your words have more impact now than usual. Mars, the planet of action, is in your soul and privacy sector, and forms a creative aspect with Chiron tonight, encouraging activities that ground you and help you heal. Allow yourself to relax and let go of such limiting states of mind as guilt and worry. It’s certainly a time to be spontaneous and to allow a more creative side of your personality a chance to shine.
Pisces
You are coming to clearer conclusions now, dear Pisces, and it’s a strong time for making decisions and solving problems. There is increased mental clarity with you, and it’s a good day for gaining perspective on your life. Conversations, news, and thoughts occur now that help you to clear up misconceptions and make definite plans. Blanks are filled in, mainly related to studies, personal interests, travel, or a communications project. You may feel compelled or excited to share your ideas, beliefs, and personal philosophies with others. Later today, strong energy is with you for feeling in sync with people around you and with your environment. As a result of this natural rhythm, you are displaying a quiet confidence that endears you to others. You feel pleasantly capable and ambitious. Stay active and involved now for best results.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 27th:
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).
