Horoscopes
Aries
Today, you’re likely to find it more straightforward than usual to quench your thirst for ambitious undertakings while also getting in some much-needed relaxation or mental release, dear Aries. You appreciate your relationships, which seem to be more comfortable and accepting than they have been. You’re in a great place to forgive, forget, or simply enjoy the finer qualities of someone in your life without paying too much or any attention to the less palatable ones. Seeing eye-to-eye on money, sharing, and ownership matters may not be quite so easy or natural, however. In fact, there can be a lot of back and forth before you’re ready to agree. Nevertheless, it’s a good exercise in understanding, and you may very well end up with better, more refined plans.
Taurus
We’re moving away from excessive expectations of our relationships or others, dear Taurus, and today, you see the benefits of getting to a healthy balance between freedom and attachment. You can find some difficulty when it comes to agreeing about activities and plans, especially shared ones. These disagreements are largely unemotional, and can very well get you to a better place. Resistance to your ideas or projects may get you thinking and clarifying your position. Balance and compromise should be sought. A significant other can help you see the bigger picture now, perhaps even unwittingly. The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, and even if you are off duty, your heart seems to be with your ambitions and goals today!
Gemini
You’re in a great position to bring extra creativity or panache to your work or to gain a bit of recognition for your ideas, style, or art, dear Gemini. You’re unlikely to be entirely certain about whether you want to go about pursuing your goals independently and making executive decisions today, or if you would prefer to share decisions and have some company. However, you may very well come up with creative ways to do both. Disagreements are likely but can lead to some useful brainstorming sessions. In fact, opposing viewpoints can help you clarify and refine your position. These differences may very well happen in your own mind as you see-saw between analyzing a situation based on facts and details and drawing upon your intuition. The Moon spends the day in your adventure and spirit sector, inspiring you to break out of the routine.
Cancer
You’re in a great position to satisfy both your need for familiar, everyday activities with the desire to see and learn more than the usual today, dear Cancer. Fantasies are rich, and you have a feeling that anything is possible. Even so, it’s not the best time for plans coming together with friends or those to do with entertainment. Some of your ideas or goals may meet with resistance, which can be frustrating at first. However, there’s a very good chance that it’s instructive, even if its only benefit is helping you clarify your position or stance. For some, you may feel the urge to shine on your own, but you also crave some input from others. Try to be aware of the mixed signals you may be giving off now.
Leo
There can be some difficulties balancing your responsibilities with quality personal time today, dear Leo, or for satisfying both your needs to develop and build your home life and keep active on a professional or public level. You can shine in both areas but only if you accept that your time and energy are limited and something needs to tone down. You may struggle with this dual need to keep busy and settle in until tomorrow, but you’re in an excellent position to see where you might strike a compromise today, perhaps after some see-sawing. The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, encouraging you to more deeply appreciate a partner or friend’s role in your life, and honor this reality.
Virgo
Love and feelings are far easier to manage and understand today than they have been, dear Virgo. Complications may not disappear, but you see them in a more positive or agreeable light! It’s natural to cooperate and fall into creative ways of interacting with others and your environment now. Plans and ideas may not come together as readily, however, as you could find that everyone has a different opinion on what to do and where to go. There can be some annoying opposition to your idea or belief, but if you look for the lesson, you may very well benefit from a disagreement, if only to help you clarify your position. Seeking out ways to simplify can benefit you all around.
Libra
Balancing duties with personal interests or services to others with personal plans can be far easier than it has been, dear Libra. You’re likely to come up with clever ways to combine the two. You may be able to turn a chore into a pleasant pursuit, for example. Money or ownership matters can be complicated, and it’s not quite so easy to agree along these lines, however. You might find that going about pursuing your goals independently is favored over team efforts as a result. In a broader sense, there is much acceptance of one another today, as we’re ready to give people the benefit of the doubt, but not everyone agrees on intellectual levels. Consider that as much as you’re capable of succeeding on your own, others’ support or resources can come in handy as well. Reaching a compromise is important now.
Scorpio
You may be able to find a nice balance between keeping to yourself and trying out new things today, dear Scorpio. This can be a time for taking small steps, particularly on creative levels. While there is more warmth, acceptance, and compassion with us today than there has been lately, you may not readily come to an agreement with a partner or significant person in your life. However, with some back and forth, you can get to a higher level of understanding, both of their opinions and of your own! Opposition of our ideas can sometimes help us clarify and refine them, and this may be the case now. The Moon spends the day tucked away in your home and family sector, and you might have a similar urge – to tuck yourself away and get some extra rest.
Sagittarius
A good part of you wants to be around others, and an equal portion would prefer to duck out and enjoy some quiet time today and tomorrow, dear Sagittarius. While this can certainly stir up some tension if left on its own, it doesn’t have to. In fact, you have all the tools you need to strike a comfortable compromise. It’s a great time for seeing a situation or relationship, even a complicated one, in a positive light. You might find that you do a great job of both attending to friends and paying attention to family or loved ones today. The Moon’s stay in your communications sector suggests chatting, learning, and pursuing personal interests can be especially satisfying now.
Capricorn
You may not be seeing eye to eye with a lover or friend today, dear Capricorn, but disagreements or opposition to your ideas can lead to better, more refined, and clearer plans. Ideas and strategies may seem to be at cross-purposes, but you’re in a good position for communicating about those things you usually may not articulate. This can happen inside your head as you try to reach a decision and, in the process, uncover different and useful ways of looking at a situation. Conversations about personal matters can be encouraging, however, and the day has quite a bit of potential for seeing a person or situation in a far more favorable light. The Moon spends the day in the sign just after yours, and you seek out a more predictable and comfortable pace.
Aquarius
You may find it challenging to juggle both your responsibilities to the outside world and quality time with family or downtime for yourself today, dear Aquarius. Part of this has to do with the inability to settle on a plan that everyone agrees on, or a disagreement about priorities. However, there is beautiful energy with you today for dealing with complicated or problematic matters creatively and peacefully. Your mind is exceptionally open to possibilities. The Moon spends the day in your sign, pulling up all sorts of emotions that you may have brushed aside to take care of business in recent days, or avoided/misinterpreted due to distractions, and now you get the chance to understand how you honestly feel about recent events.
Pisces
You may find it a tad challenging to reach an agreement on philosophical matters today, dear Pisces, but differing points of view can be learning experiences. This is the case even if an opposing viewpoint helps you clarify or strengthen your own idea. You may even disagree on more straightforward matters such as directions, instructions, and navigation. However, today holds beautiful potentials for seeing a complicated situation, relationship, or person in a more favorable light. Forgiving someone or understanding a person better can even inspire you to take better care of yourself or it can help you heal and grow. The day may not feel as productive as others, however, as there is some tendency to spin your wheels or remain in limbo about where you want to channel your energies.

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 28th:
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).
