Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, October 30, 2024

The moon continues its transit through peaceful Libra, but many of the aspects it will make today amplify the darker side of Libran energy: a detached, lofty unwillingness to engage with injustice if it could create conflict. Today is marked by a a notable anxiety about standing up for injustice when one’s own side is committing it. Don’t dig in your heels and engage in tribalism for its own sake. If you see something, say something.

At 2:50 AM EST, the moon makes an uncomfortable quincunx with Saturn in Pisces, which is still retrograde, at 12°. This aspect can just as easily reflect delusion as it can mysticism and creativity; is all dependent on your circumstances. But the world at large has already been falling prey to magical thinking and spiritual psychosis ever since Saturn and Neptune have been inching closer to a conjunction in the dreamy and sometimes downright hallucinatory terrain of Pisces.

It stands to reason that this morning might represent a turning point in our cultural mass hysteria. Be wary of anything you see, read, or even think; it has never been more important to use your critical thinking skills and confront your biases, as our collective ability to distinguish between truth and fiction is significantly compromised at this moment in time.

Your emotional, reactionary side will lead the way, potentially leading to disaster. For those who are willing to reflect on their errors of judgment and admit they were wrong, this afternoon could serve as a powerful reality check.

It goes without saying that we all have our cultural, religious, and political blind spots; if your own zealotry backs you into a corner today, there is an opportunity to find harmony with someone who thinks differently than you at 7:37 AM, when the moon makes a sextile to Venus in Sagittarius at 15°.

This pleasant, uplifting aspect allows for a broadening of dialogue and open-mindedness. Those who are willing to engage with their cognitive dissonance will find this morning enlightening, refreshing, and even potentially liberating.

At 6:06 PM, Mercury in Scorpio makes an exact opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus at 25°, setting off discussion about shocking and unexpected information that is dredged up from the underworld: whether it’s corruption at the governmental level or receipts about your toxic ex, you will undoubtedly be rocked by some kind of scandal this evening. A few minutes later, at 6:13 PM, the moon will oppose retrograde Chiron in Aries at 20°, unearthing more painful secrets that hurt some and heal others.

How will this series of chaotic events unfold for you? Read your forecast below, according to your rising sign rather than your sun sign to ensure the most accuracy.

Aries

Early this morning the moon in your seventh house makes a quincunx with retrograde Saturn in your twelfth, creating the potential for paranoia surrounding your relationships.
