Today’s Horoscopes for Friday, October 27th
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Unfulfilled longings surface today where they can increase stress in a relationship. Fortunately, we find the right words to make our points while clever Mercury cooperates with passionate Pluto. But no one seems willing to moderate their desires as sensual Venus squares Pluto. Thankfully, the Moon’s entry into emotionally detached Aquarius at 8:58 am EDT enables us to intelligently process our feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
On the surface, everything appears to be copacetic, but there may be a tempest brewing out of sight. You can pretend to be innocent and focus only on what is pleasant today, but failing to acknowledge the tension won’t prevent it from making itself known. Luckily, you have the power to turn an uncomfortable feeling into a catalyst that deepens a relationship instead of destabilizing it. The key to transformation is communication. Mutual respect and trust means that nothing of potential significance is off limits for discussion. The more you talk, the less it hurts.
Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
You might sense that something isn’t quite right in a relationship at work. Relying on the familiarity of routine is often enough to put your anxious thoughts to rest. Unfortunately, the status quo is not your friend today because it allows an untreated trivial wound to fester. Thankfully, addressing the problem when you first notice it — however minor it may seem — prevents it from becoming more serious. Ben Franklin wrote, “You may delay, but time will not.”
Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
Your attempts to take a relationship to the next level may lead you through rough terrain today. Normally, you might turn back at the first signs of difficulty, but you’re empowered now by your unrelenting quest to be seen and acknowledged by someone you love. Since communication is a two-way street, a conversation that’s built upon honesty can clear a path directly to the heart. Newscaster Edward R. Murrow said, “To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful.”
Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
You are hoping to avoid an intense exchange with someone who appears to be exercising too much control over your life. You wish you didn’t need to set such firm boundaries now, but it seems to be the only way to maintain your autonomy. Misplaced negativity could sideswipe an already impassioned interaction today, making a difficult conversation even worse. Nevertheless, you can avert a crisis with kindness rather than anger. Statesman Hubert Humphrey said, “The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.”
Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
You are motivated to initiate a dialogue about a very sensitive topic today, because you are so positive about your position that you’re willing to take on anyone. Although you might even believe you’re invincible, powerful feelings are unleashed and you are not immune to their effects. You assume you can cling to your objectivity now, but you are quickly swept up in a whirlpool of emotions. The more you resist, the stronger the current. Spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy taught, “Surrender is a journey from the outer turmoil to the inner peace.”
Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
You are quick to offer to act as the mediator in a domestic disagreement today. Although it hurts your heart when people are in conflict, you are eager to step in to reduce the emotional tension through diplomatic means. However, the discord runs deep now and a lasting resolution may demand more than just discussing the differences. Sooner or later you must accept that the problem is not yours. Do what you can to broker a peace agreement and then leave the process to those who are directly involved. Deepak Chopra said, “In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”
Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You are strongly opinionated today, and your passion could act as a lightning rod that attracts an unsolicited argument. You believe someone is purposefully trying to pick a fight, but you won’t have any part in it. You might put on a happy face, thinking you can smile your way around a conflict, but the more you hide your true feelings, the stronger they grow. Educator Vida Dutton Scudder wrote, “The suppression of war is not the equivalent of peace.”

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
Your friends might say the nicest things to you today, but you are suspicious of their hidden agendas. No matter how you try to reframe their compliments, alarms are ringing and causing you concern. However, you’re hesitant to broach the topic because you don’t want to appear as if you’re paranoid. Nevertheless, it’s not in your best interest to stay silent now. Find a way to start a conversation without making accusations.
Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
You may think that others are taking you for granted today. You wish your contributions were recognized and appreciated more often. Ironically, your needy behavior could be the cause of your apparent invisibility as you try harder than ever to be noticed. People might be put off by your pushy approach, choosing to withdraw from engaging with your energy now. Just go about your work without any fanfare and watch as you gain status among your peers. A Chinese proverb teaches, “The journey is the reward.”
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
You’re faced with a conundrum today as you’re tempted to participate in a group activity while simultaneously wanting to escape. You long for a deep connection with your peers and wish to pursue current opportunities to develop meaningful relationships. However, an inner voice tells you to step back from the crowd now, warning you about the possibility of losing your individual identity in the process of joining a team. Author J.K. Rowling proudly proclaimed, “I always felt an outsider.”
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
A social cause could catch your attention and reel your heart in before you know it. You might not be aware of how significantly your involvement will impact your life until it’s too late. Nevertheless, you can justify your actions with your commitment to following a higher calling. Unfortunately, a conflict between your immediate desires and your long-term goals makes you unsure of your decision. Harville Hendrix wrote, “Nature doesn’t care that you are comfortable, only that you evolve.”
