Horoscope For Today: Tuesday, October 29, 2024

Just after midnight, the moon ingresses from Virgo, where structure and function thrive, into Libra, which appreciates aesthetic and relational harmony. It’s a day to get out and wander through a museum or a bookstore, taking in all the beauty around you, especially if you can do so with a partner or close friend.

At 10:23 AM EST, the moon makes an exact opposition to the North Node in Aries at 4°, which in turn means it conjoins the South Node in Libra. This is a critical moment for the collective, but you’re likely to experience it on a micro level, too: the nodes of the moon are associated with fated, pivotal moments and experiences.

With the nodes currently stationed in the signs of war and peace, this moment is likely to represent a catalyst for conflict in your closest personal relationships that has been brewing for a while now, especially if you have significant natal placements near 4° of any of the cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.

Even if this doesn’t apply to you, you can anticipate an intense day. Read on, according to your rising sign, to learn more about how it’s likely to play out for you on an individual level.

Aries

Early this morning, the moon ingresses into your seventh house, placing your focus on existing and potential partnerships. If you’re on rocky ground with your partner, or tired of being played by your noncommittal situationship, you might finally lash out when the moon opposes the North Node in your first house. This is the energy of individuation and breaking free of chains that keep you bound in toxic relationships. You were born to be an original, and you can feel terribly constrained in relationships that don’t allow you the freedom you desire. If you’re not satisfied, it’s time to walk away.

Taurus

When the moon ingresses into your sixth house early this morning, your attention will turn to your daily work and health routines, putting you in a productive state of mind. If you’ve been neglecting something crucial, you won’t be able to ignore it any longer when the moon opposes the North Node in your twelfth house. Science is increasingly showing that our physical and mental health are intimately connected; if you’ve been prioritizing one and abandoning the other, you’ll inevitably face the consequences. Be sure you’re taking care of yourself.

Gemini

In the early morning hours, the moon ingresses into your fifth house, encouraging your creativity and romanticism, and giving you a pleasurable and optimistic outlook on life. Don’t stay in the house today; there is karmic potential for you to meet someone in your professional or social sphere who broadens your horizons. When the moon opposes the North Node in your eleventh house, you’ll encounter powerful and influential leaders. However, be cautious and don’t believe everything they say, no matter how good they are at smooth-talking; use your discernment and make sure they are not simply self-serving and planning to use you for their own personal gain.

Cancer

The moon’s early ingress into your fourth house this morning will bring out your homebody tendencies, encouraging you to stay indoors and binge your favorite comfort show rather than get out and socialize. When the moon makes an opposition to the North Node in your tenth house, however, your professional life and career will demand your attention: you may receive word that someone at your company has made a mishap that requires your specific skill set to fix quickly, or you might get tipped off to an upcoming leak of information. If you have to weather a scandal, the best way to do so is with grace and integrity. Leap into action and take accountability. The longer you put it off, the worse it will get.

Leo

This morning, the moon moves into your third house, giving you a diplomatic edge when it comes to communication, especially if you have to deal with frustrating in-laws or extended family who you just can’t see eye-to-eye with. You’ll be forced to play the role of mediator today, especially when the moon opposes the North Node in your ninth house and ideological, religious, and legal issues become emphasized within your community. Your first instinct might be to react with leonine ego, but rein that impulse in—or risk alienating your loved ones. This isn’t the time to try to teach your grandparents what is and isn’t politically correct.

Virgo

Early this morning, when the moon makes its ingress into your second house, you’ll be focused on money: earning more, specifically, through your own hard work and effort. However, when the moon opposes the North Node in your eighth house, you might get a reality check from the universe in the form of a surprise gift from a relative, an inheritance, or an offer from a friend to help you pay off some of your mounting debts. It’s okay to admit you need financial assistance sometimes. What isn’t okay is pretending that everything is fine until it’s not, and it blows up in your face. If someone offers to ease the burden slightly, don’t let shame prevent you from accepting. Remember, it’s a hand-up, not a handout.

Libra

As the moon ingresses into your first house early this morning, your attention will turn to your appearance and physical body. Hit the gym early or get a few stretches in before you start your day. It’s okay to be a little self-absorbed today, but when the moon opposes the North Node in your seventh house, you’ll be forced to exert some of that energy towards your closest friends and romantic partner, if you have one. If your relationship has been fizzling out, there may be a catalyzing moment that finally ends it; if, on the other hand, you’ve been waiting rather impatiently for a promise of commitment, your partner might finally show you the ring.

Scorpio

In the early hours of the morning, the moon moves into your twelfth house, opening your mind to psychic and intuitive experiences while also emphasizing any repressed mental health or addiction problems you might be struggling with. When our brains aren’t healthy, our bodies rarely are either; when the moon forms an opposition with the North Node in your sixth house, you may experience a crisis point during which you realize you need to be prioritizing your physical health more. Some of you will experience minor injuries, while others will get the flu. Allow yourself rest through sickness.

Sagittarius

The moon’s early ingress into your eleventh house just after midnight sets the stage for a sociable and extroverted sort of day. You’ll feel comfortable networking and making the rounds. When the moon makes an opposition with the North Node in your fifth house, you might get caught off-guard when a coworker or acquaintance confesses their secret feelings for you. If you’re not feeling it, be tactful and polite; if you’re tempted to give it a try, go for it, with the awareness that things could get intense very quickly. If the offer isn’t romantic in nature, but rather creative, consider whether you and this person from within your extended circle might be able to collaborate well.

Capricorn

The day kicks off with the moon ingressing into your tenth house, highlighting your reputation and legacy. Many of you will be giving major presentations at work today or being offered leadership responsibilities, and in typical Capricorn style, you’ll crush it. The moon’s opposition to the North Node in your fourth house, however, will draw your attention homeward, reminding many of you that you have been sacrificing valuable family time to work extra hours. If you haven’t had a very good work-life balance during this final quarter, you’re going to need to make changes now—as the holidays approach, life is only going to get more chaotic.

Aquarius

Early this morning, the moon shifts into your ninth house, inspiring you to explore complex philosophical and academic topics. If you’re currently working on your thesis or finishing up a project that requires hours of intense, passionate study, this is a great day to get down to business. However, in order to think globally, we have to take action locally, and when the moon opposes the North Node in your third house, you’ll be pulled into a situation that involves your immediate community. If your library hours get suddenly and unexpectedly interrupted by a protest on campus, embrace the chaos.

Pisces

As the moon moves into your eighth house early this morning, your central focus is on money matters, as well as other topics not necessarily appropriate for casual conversations: sex, death, and trauma. While you might prefer to distract yourself from your student loan debt payments by watching a true crime documentary, the moon’s opposition to the North Node in your second house ensures that you will have to think about your own income and confront anything that is impeding its growth. Are you overspending to fill a psychological void? Are you feeling apathetic because none of your peers are able to afford homes? Don’t give up. Instead, learn how to apply practical steps to manage your finances more effectively.
