Horoscopes
Aries
You’re in a good place today for healthy conversations, particularly about goals and strategies, dear Aries. Latent psychic powers or powerful intuition are in force now as Mercury and Neptune connect in sectors of your solar chart that rule the hidden layers of your life. They also connect with Juno in your career and reputation zone, and you’re drawing on personal wisdom and intuition or experience that can benefit business and possibly give you a reputation boost. You are picking up more information than usual through observation these days with Mercury in your solar eighth house. Today, you’re looking at life through an especially compassionate and imaginative lens. Your thinking is creative, particularly when it comes to matters of the past, intimate relationships, career, and your own inner workings. You may delight in a mystery or enjoy quiet time more than usual so that you can be alone with your dreams and musings.
Taurus
You’re in a great place to repair problem areas in a relationship or bond more deeply with someone, dear Taurus, especially through face-to-face or imaginative conversations. This is a time for new ideas and visions, particularly related to partnerships, business, money, practical affairs, and future happiness goals. Make a point of seeking out activities that refresh your spirit and connections that delight you. Today, facts and figures can feel stifling, and they may very well cut off access to your imagination, which is flying high now. Of course, you’ll need to stop your mind from wandering where appropriate, but when you’re allowed some space and freedom to imagine, let it take you to new places. Mercury-Neptune gives you a boost of compassion, intuition, and imagination for your thoughts, perceptions, and conversations. Be accepting and tolerant now in order to let all of the good things in.
Gemini
You’re in a good place for communicating intentions, dear Gemini, and it’s not just about words! A Mercury-Neptune connection favors imaginative, compassionate, and gentle approaches to the world. In business, it’s called “soft sell, ” but can be the most rewarding method all around today. In fact, you’ll do best to let conversations flow and to listen generously. Research, work, and health matters are especially favored now, as these benefit from an imaginative touch. It’s a time for taking a break from heavy thinking or for fleshing out our work with creative extras. It’s also a potentially powerful time for ideas, which are practical and imaginative all at once. If you face perplexing problems, be sure to take a step back from them, as intuition is more likely to kick in if you do so. This can be a uniquely contemplative – even inspiring – day.
Cancer
This is a promising day for communications, dear Cancer, particularly with partners or about relationships. People seem more willing than usual to give one another the benefit of the doubt and to see the other side of a situation. You might encourage someone to open up about a matter, or you could choose to express an issue that’s been a load on your mind with someone you trust, serving as a nice release. The day is best approached with gentleness and sensitivity, and you might treat it as an interlude day on a mental level. Allow yourself some freedom to dream, imagine, and create today, since Mercury-Neptune brings great energy for imaginative expression now. Your tastes, ideas, and conversations tend to have a somewhat exotic flavor, or you might thoroughly enjoy time alone so that you can dream up something special. Fantasy that doesn’t fade away too much color from the present is the best kind.
Leo
You are a fine communicator in general, dear Leo, and your ability to listen and make anyone feel interesting is even stronger than usual today. It’s a good time for solving problems, bonding through supportive conversations, and coming to a better understanding of a work or home project. You might find out some beneficial information today. Your intuition is serving you well. Solutions found now tend to be unusual or arrived at in an unconventional manner. Aim to reduce stress now, as the day is good for letting things go. This is a time for appealing to your sense of wonder and feelings of compassion, as well as drawing these things out in others. You might be intrigued by a mystery that begs to unravel, or you might enjoy entertainment that engages your emotions and imagination. You may be working on releasing negative feelings about a relationship or a past hurt. Conversations tend to be sympathetic.
Virgo
You’re in a great position to solve problems today, primarily related to the people in your life, creative efforts, studies, and career, dear Virgo. Communications can be playful, romantic, and useful as well. You feel inspired to help others today, and you might especially enjoy guiding, teaching, or soothing others with your words and possible solutions to problems. Compassion may move you to help and support someone. Imaginative, intuitive, and gentle activities do well now. Sometimes differences in values, taste, or style can disrupt relationships, but today, they add value to your interactions. Acceptance is active now, and you’re all set to learn from different viewpoints and perspectives, as well as inspire others with yours. Today is about connecting with others on an entirely different level, forgiving, accepting, and letting go of stress and negative emotion.
Libra
Today is powerful for resolving problems and getting to nice places through conversations and musings, dear Libra. You might also gain knowledge that helps your financial picture today. You can be feeling inspired, and you’re expressing your care for others through your words and gestures. You can be particularly motivated to bring more beauty and harmony to the home environment. Today is also good for letting go of possessive feelings. Imaginative and creative impulses increase on a mental level, and you may very well dream up all sorts of way to enjoy yourself. Listen to hunches and ideas that seem to come up out of the blue. If you can, avoid work or chores that require a lot of focus or attention to detail, and instead focus on ideas and overviews for best results. Allow yourself some space for free-form thinking which can serve you very well right now. This can be an excellent idea day, and conversations with others can be enlightening.
Scorpio
Today is solid for communications, dear Scorpio, with Mercury in your sign making supportive connections. You might come across information that benefits you greatly, and your ideas are inventive. It’s also a fabulous time for self-discovery, examination of your dreams, desires, and plans. Writing and communications are particularly imaginative today. You can find it empowering to let go of frustrations and instead focus on those things, situations, and people that inspire you. You can also feel stronger through your connections today, as boosting someone up can lift you up as well! This is a day that favors creative expression and connecting with others imaginatively. Conversations can be uplifting, and fantasies or musings are positive, lighting up your higher mind and opening up new possibilities. You are persuasive and taking things in stride, adding to your appeal.
Sagittarius
Incoming information now can put you ahead along business or economic lines, dear Sagittarius. You may have an ace up your sleeve or excellent instincts when it comes to money and value. You can have a strong desire to talk something through, and collaboration can be successful as long as you focus on the bigger picture rather than details. You might recognize new levels or dimensions of your needs now, which benefits decision-making. Mercury and Neptune in harmony today stimulate your desire to color outside the lines. You are seeking slightly out of the ordinary or exotic connections, ideas, and experiences. This is also a good time for letting bygones be bygones, especially with family. You see others in a more positive (or human) light, finding beauty in weakness or imperfections. You might help someone out with your advice or by lending them an ear and acknowledging what they’re saying. The Moon continues to transit your sign until tonight, keeping emotional needs to the forefront.
Capricorn
Today and the next two days are comfortable for arriving at satisfying conclusions as well as for cooperative efforts, especially where it concerns communications, dear Capricorn. Today, interactions are peaceful and warm, and you’re looking at relationships, ideas, and problems from a different perspective — one that is especially sensitive, accepting, and understanding. It can be an excellent time to confide in someone or to be a confidante. Your dreams, ideas, or information coming in today are inspiring. While attention to detail is not especially favored today, you’re making up for it with imagination and creativity. There is some tendency to avoid unpleasant work or tasks, but it’s a healthy day for entertaining new ideas, dreams, and possibilities. Stretching your mind is a beautiful exercise today, and this week, expanding your reach and connections can be in sharp focus.
Aquarius
You’re in a fabulous position these days on a competitive level, dear Aquarius, but today and tomorrow, cooperation brings the most rewards. You may be privy to classified information, or you might benefit from a conversation that inspires some fabulous ideas. This can be a good time for communicating your concern and care for others, and excellent for dreaming up some interesting promotional or marketing material if this would benefit you. Your reputation or professional status improves this week with your generosity and kindness. Today is more about hunches and inspiration than it is about the details or the facts and figures. When it comes to financial or business pursuits, go the way of intuition if you can, as you can come up with very creative plans now. You’re delivering your message in an attractive package, and your interactions with others are a little gentler. Your insight can add another dimension to a relationship.
Pisces
Especially favored for you today are problem-solving and the exchange of ideas and information, dear Pisces. You’re also in great shape for growing a project or business, and connecting with friends can be energizing or inspiring. Imagination and creativity flourish as Mercury harmonizes with your ruler, Neptune. This aspect creates a lovely atmosphere for accessing your intuition and communicating with others on all sorts of levels or dimensions with great success. This is also a strong time for reaching out and sharing ideas or a unique perspective, entertaining new ideologies, and learning something entirely new and hopeful. You might come to an agreement with a partner or good friend, or connect intuitively with a special person in your life since Mercury rules your partnership sector. You’re motivated to give voice to topics that are close to your heart.

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.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
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
The modes are balanced.
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 24th:
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).
