Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, October 27th

We are in no mood to negotiate with anyone this morning as we mentally run through our own private declaration of independence. We feel unstoppable as irrepressible Uranus infuses us with the light of awareness. The dramatic Leo Moon further encourages us to strut our stuff. However, the Lion’s roar grows quieter when the Moon runs into stern Saturn this afternoon. Thankfully, we still might get our way if we’re willing to honor our commitments.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s easier to just say what’s on your mind than to keep your feelings to yourself today. You might even claim that you have considered the impact of your words before you open your mouth. But the truth is that you really have no idea what will come out until you actually hear it along with everyone else. It’s great to make your point, but putting on a show to get attention now won’t likely bring the results you want.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you hope to take full advantage of the weekend, you don’t want to expend too much energy just to have some fun. You realize how much work is in front of you next week and, fortunately, have the common sense now to reserve some of your strength for when you need it later. Enjoying some time in the company of others can still be rejuvenating if you keep your activities low key and close to home.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Don’t worry about making plans today; just enjoy yourself moment to moment now that the lively Leo Moon is spicing up your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. But don’t get too wild and crazy or you could regret your actions pretty quickly. Keep in mind that cleaning up an emotional mess won’t be nearly as much fun as making it. Thankfully, you can still have a superb time while acting in a more mature manner by simply toning your energy down a notch.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are tempted to spend more money today than you budgeted, especially if you’re responsible for entertaining others. Naturally, you want to make a good impression on everyone with delicious food and drink, but your friends may be less concerned with the details than you are now. Your extravagance can bring its own punishment if it makes you short on cash or causes you too much stress. Remember that it’s the company that matters most.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might attempt to create a strategy for success around your current notion of only stating the absolute truth when it is necessary to give it voice. However, the Moon’s presence in your expressive sign encourages you to share more of your feelings today even if they don’t move you closer to any of your goals. It’s great that you feel upbeat and want to inspire others to be happy, but keep in mind that your plan to reach nirvana is not ideal for everyone else. Saying fewer words about the future is smarter now than rambling on unrestrained.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your advanced organizational skills are needed to bail someone out of trouble today, and you are happy to ride to the rescue. You don’t mind working behind the scenes, and you’re even less interested in receiving personal recognition as the reflective Moon moves through your 12th House of Secrets. First and foremost, you want the satisfaction of knowing that your hard work helped to save the day for your friend or colleague. The universe is reminding you that you can accomplish nearly anything you set your mind to now.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re ready to show off your stuff to the entire world today, and a social gathering can act as your temporary stage. Although you want to be seen and acknowledged, it’s wise to hold some energy in reserve. Others may not know your entire story and you might prefer keeping it that way for a while longer. Avoid the temptation to bring everything out into the open now, for those who matter will still see what you bring to the party.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s easier to buckle down to do whatever is expected of you when the rules and the limits are well defined. Unfortunately, there are so many fuzzy boundaries today that things could get sloppy pretty quickly. Don’t wait until you have fallen over the edge before creating a strategy. Pay attention to social protocols, for they can prevent you from getting yourself into trouble. Embark on your spiritual quest, but do yourself a favor and wait to make any major moves until your clarity returns.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can’t even hear your own voice of reason today, or, maybe you are just choosing to ignore it. It’s a rather straightforward choice: have yourself a good time or work hard while delaying the fun for another day. Naturally, no one is surprised if you are the first one at a party and the last one to leave. Self-indulgence most likely wins out, so you might as well enjoy yourself while you can. Your unfinished chores will still be there when you return.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s often difficult to set your responsibilities aside unfinished, because you typically prefer to do the work first and then relax later. But today, you might impulsively decide to leave your commitments behind and take time off for the pursuit of fun. Just make sure that you don’t forget to return in time to finish your chores so that you also have the satisfaction of a job well done.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel lucky to have a loyal partner or playmate, but it’s tricky to hold up your end of the deal today. Rather than being overly attached to someone else at the hip, you need more freedom now so you can move creatively on your own. However, if you show a little self-restraint, you might be able to find a way to balance your opposing desires and make everyone happy, including yourself.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your travel plans might be shaken up today as interactive Mercury aligns with unpredictable Uranus. You may attempt to be serious at first, but you quickly realize that your ability to display your creative side also includes having fun. Don’t be afraid to brush someone off who tries to hold you back as you seek ways to stir up a bit of excitement. Make the most of the planetary buzz; thankfully, there will be plenty of time tomorrow to fulfill your commitments.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 27th

Breakthroughs in higher consciousness abound in the early hours as the Moon in Leo forms a harmonious trine with Uranus in Aries (4:30AM). If you feel a little edgy or nervous, chalk it up to a rare contra-parallel linking Chiron and Uranus (6:08AM). Trying to make things happen your way or attempting to manipulate a dear one is out-of-bounds. On the other hand, healing forces are back on the march. Learn more about the merits of alternative forms of medicine, therapy and counseling techniques.  It’s advisable to slow your pace later on as the Moon squares off with Saturn (11:26AM) and Mercury (3:57PM). Psychic tensions maintain the upper hand later tonight as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (11:31PM) while a 90-degree tie between Venus and Vesta is building toward exactitude at 1:15AM tomorrow. Put an emphasis on safety and security matters as Friday night morphs into Saturday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Current Moon Phase for Oct. 27th – Last Quarter Moon

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/44% illumination)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.

Your Charm for October 25th is Pisces The Fish

Your Charm for Today


Today’s Meaning:   

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. This person could be merely an acquaintance who has influence with people in your circle.

General Description:

Twelfth sign of the Zodiac, Feb 19th to March 20th. Ruled by the planet Jupiter; correct metal, Tin. Those born under the influence of Pisces were believed to be highly emotional, imaginative, observant, artistic, musical, precise and prudent. The gem for Pisces is the Amethyst, whose occult properties were firmly believed in by the ancients. The Egyptians wore these stones as amulets against witchcraft, and for success in their undertakings. The Amethyst is also called The Bishops Stone from its supposed soothing influence, imparting a pious calm in time of danger. The stone was believed to confer happiness on the newly married.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 25th

The good cosmic news that arrived on terra firma yesterday still carries a positive wallop today. The Grand Triangle in water signs that aided your emotional and psychic sensitivity on Thursday remains strong this morning due to the Moon in Cancer forming a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Mercury in Scorpio (7:18AM). Enjoy literary and educational adventures to the hilt — particularly as the monthly Moon-Jupiter union in Cancer (1:32PM) acts as a sturdy backup to the harmonious tie between the Moon and Mercury.  Tune into your confident and optimistic mind-set to gain a decisive edge over erstwhile competitors in business or professional affairs. However, the Moon-Jupiter conjunction (1:32PM) begins a 19+ hour void-of-course lunar limbo time-span that lasts until 9:13AM tomorrow.  Even though the Moon’s energy is hampered somewhat, your creative imagination is activated as one of two, annual Sun-Neptune trines clocks in at 3:42PM. Improvise in a favorite artistic medium for a change of pace. Show off your burgeoning skills on the photography, film or music fronts. Learn more about the merits of affirmations, visualization exercises, yoga, sacred dance and meditation. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Current Moon Phase for October 25th – Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /56% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 24th

Even though the Mercury reversal is still indicating that this key planet is moving in counterpoint to the direction of the Sun and Moon, today reveals a dissipation of the recent psychic cloud-cover that has been inflicting slings and arrows of outrageous fortune within humanity.  Vesta making a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Jupiter (12:59AM) is a strong, motivational signal that with hard work and renewed effort you can increase the value of your assets and investments. Let your feelings and emotions back up your financial acumen as the Moon, Neptune, Chiron and Saturn form a revelatory Grand Triangle in the zodiac. The Moon in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces (2:02AM) and Chiron in Pisces (3:38PM) while also forming a trine to Saturn in Scorpio (10:23PM).  Resume your physical fitness routines with exuberance — thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie between Mercury and Mars (1:55PM). This Mercury-Mars alignment doubles as a boost for favorite hobbies, construction projects and athletic contests.  Experiment with some of grandma’s old-world recipes that thrill the palate. Learn more about your ancestral heritage and family tree as the Moon in Cancer heightens love for past traditions and historical eras.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 23

The Sun’s entry into the fixed, power sign of Scorpio late yesterday — happening during a void lunar twilight zone and while Mars and Neptune wreak havoc within the human family — does not augur well for a trouble-free 30-day solar movement through the intense and passionate eighth sign of the zodiac. Instead, the universe is advising everyone to be more careful and conservative across the board — particularly today as Mars forms a contra-parallel to Neptune (3:37AM), continuing the large-scale uncertainty factor that has been hovering around humanity like a ghostly presence during the last five days.  Since the Moon in communication-oriented Gemini remains void until 8:37PM, this lunar condition is a reminder to focus your attention on completing old projects while refraining from launching bold, new enterprises. Keep in mind that the Mars-Neptune clash in the heavens can also produce confusion in affairs of the heart, social activities as well as business or artistic ventures.  Once the Moon enters Cancer (8:37PM), family and household concerns become a primary concern. Psychic storm warnings are still posted despite the presence of a flowing Moon-Sun trine (10:34PM) since Mars moves away from its rivalry with Neptune to make a caustic, 45-degree tie with Jupiter (10:09PM). Steer clear of temperamental individuals and controversial subject matters. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Current Moon Phase for October 21st – Full Moon

Full Moon

(waning/82% illumination)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for October 18th is Mars

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

Mars

Mars represents those qualities we commonly associate with the male/yang persona. Mars traits include raw energy, ambition, aggression, confidence, passion, and a sense of adventure. The occurrence of Mars denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. Martian influence may have a negative impact unless it is balanced with an influence that can blunt the brashness and impulsiveness of Mars.

As a daily card, Mars suggests you would be well served by allowing your more aggressive side take control for at least for a short while. Now is a time for you to act with confidence and decisiveness. However, keep in mind that the qualities associated with Mars can do more damage than good if allowed to run free for too long.

Gibbous Moon

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.
