Horoscope For Today: Saturday, October 26, 2024

The day kicks off with the moon still in the fiery and arrogant Leo, amplifying our collective confidence and self-love. As it cruises through the final degrees of Leo in the early morning hours, the moon makes a significant square to retrograde Uranus in Taurus at 26° at 4:04 AM EST.

While squares—especially to unpredictable and chaotic Uranus—typically signify tension and disharmony, one other notable aspect provides some comfort: a sextile from Mars in Cancer to Uranus, also at 26°. The energy is that of high emotional volatility, which could express itself through violence.

Although this aspect will be difficult to ignore all day, and this morning could represent a critical turning point in your relationship to men, masculinity, and individualistic action, the drama mostly slows down after 11:48 AM, when the moon ingresses into practical and organized Virgo. Whatever disruptions shake up your normal routine this morning are likely to be resolved with a clearer head this afternoon, as the collective focus shifts to rational, balanced problem-solving.

How can you expect this day to unfold for you personally? Read on according to your rising sign for more information.

Aries

Early this morning, the moon in your fifth house squares Uranus in your second, bringing a significant reality check to how you balance your pleasurable and romantic pursuits with your finances. A few cutbacks might be necessary. On the other hand, a casual fling might surprise you with a luxury gift that goes above and beyond your expectations. Most of you will find that your new partner (or, if you’re single, your own creative ambitions) are supported by your family and fit well into the existing dynamic of your family. This is the influence of the sextile between Mars in your fourth house—representing, perhaps, your male relatives—and Uranus in your second. Take advice from your dad regarding your own asset protection: you can’t rely on a relationship (or, for that matter, one singular income stream) to ensure lifelong financial security. When the moon ingresses into your sixth house, you’ll feel more practical about your money and willing to listen to well-intentioned advice.

Taurus

In the early hours of the morning the moon continues its transit through your domestic fourth house, encouraging you to be a homebody and value your comfort. When it squares off with Uranus in your first, however, you may be forced to contend with some physical discomfort—if you’re struggling with chronic pain, for instance—or you’ll experience personal attacks regarding your identity and presence in the world. If you’ve been dealing with a scandal, today might be the day it comes to a head. The good news is that, even if you have to make some sort of public statement or own up to your mistakes, you’ll be seen favorably by your local community, thanks to Mars in your third house forming a sextile to Uranus in your first. Expect your extended family, including male relatives, to provide a solid support system. Once the moon ingresses into your fifth house, you’ll feel a tangible burden relieved from your shoulders, allowing you to indulge in your favorite self-care practice—or meet up with a casual partner for a romantic date night.

Gemini

For the first half of the morning, the moon will be lighting up your third house, drawing attention to your immediate surroundings, extended family, and short-distance travel. When it makes a square with Uranus in your twelfth, you can anticipate some shocking info to get dropped in the family group chat. If you have a sibling or cousin who is currently hospitalized or imprisoned, you may learn more about their situation. On the other hand, some secret addictions and compulsions could finally come out, shattering the illusion that your family is as picture-perfect as they pretend to be. If you need to take time off work to care for a sick loved one, the cosmos has your back: fortunately, Mars in your second house sextile Uranus in your twelfth provides financial support in the form of a new income stream or a sudden monetary gift, possibly from a male relative. The moon ingresses into your fourth house just before noon, encouraging you to put your focus on your family. Some of you will have to venture back to your hometowns today—and if it’s not under the best possible circumstances, you can rest easily knowing that the people who know you best, the ones who know your entire origin story, will be by your side the whole time.

Cancer

The moon finishes off its transit through your second house, where it has been putting your financial situation under review for the past couple days. When the moon squares Uranus in your eleventh house, you can expect sudden and shocking news from within your extended friend group or professional network. Even if the drama doesn’t involve you directly, you’ll likely suffer the consequences: if you’ve been doing business with someone facing the wrath of cancel culture, you might wish to step away, cutting your losses for the time being. However, your integrity and the courage of the convictions will inspire and motivate others: Mars in your first house will form a sextile to Uranus in your eleventh, giving you plenty of opportunities to extend your reach and collaborate with new people. You might be the reason someone else has the strength to walk away from a toxic partnership, too. When the moon moves into your third house late this morning, you’ll take solace in your local community and receive support from your extended family, giving you the confidence to stay the course.

Leo

The moon finalizes its trip through your first house in the early hours of the morning, making a square to Uranus in your tenth. If you’ve felt pressured to take on everybody else’s responsibilities lately, or you’ve been too busy to think straight for the past couple days, you can breathe a sigh of relief at the knowledge that this brief window of time is about to close. Unfortunately, before it does, you have one last test from the universe: if you’ve been showing up, doing the work, and leading with your characteristic confidence, you’ll be rewarded with a major accolade or upgrade professionally. Some of you will receive raises and promotions. On the other hand, if you’ve been doing something you shouldn’t have been, such as complaining in the work group chat about a certain difficult person, your true feelings could be publicized, making you the office pariah. Fortunately, the sextile between Mars in your twelfth house and Uranus in your tenth lends some supportive energy to you in this heated moment: male coworkers might be exposed for something objectively worse, or you might accidentally implicate other people who haven’t been on their best behavior. The moon moves into your second house right before noon, at which point you’ll know the fate of your finances, for better or for worse.

Virgo

The moon completes its transit through your twelfth house in the early hours of the morning, creating a mystical and introspective internal atmosphere you may not easily emerge from. Pay attention to what your dreams are telling you. When the moon squares off with Uranus in your ninth house, you can anticipate subconscious divine insights: keep your eyes and ears open for any and all synchronicities. Even if you are typically more of a skeptic, this morning you are particularly spiritually attuned and open to the mysteries of the universe. The pleasant sextile between Mars in your eleventh house and Uranus in your ninth brings the potential for new friends and social groups that share your passion for a particular religious, spiritual, or academic path; take action to get involved with your peers. The moon will make its way into your first house later this morning, removing the haze you’ve been walking around in and placing you right in the center of the action. You’ll appear softer and more approachable to friends and strangers alike, and your ability to communicate meaning with tact and diplomacy will be at an all-time high.

Libra

The morning begins with the moon moving through the final degrees of your eleventh house, emphasizing your natural charisma and popularity in your friend group and larger social network. When the moon-Uranus square hits, though, your eighth house is disrupted, bringing large-scale change to your relationship with death, sex, and taboo. You might learn that a relative is leaving you a much larger inheritance than you had ever dreamed of—or you might face an intervention from your family about your fast-and-loose spending habits. Credit card debt can rack up quickly, if you aren’t careful. The influence of Mars in your tenth house making a sextile to Uranus in your eighth, however, promises that even if your reputation takes a hit, your strength and confidence will make the world more sympathetic towards you. Try to avoid posting without thinking today, as you’re going to be more heavily scrutinized. The moon’s ingress into your twelfth house right before noon is reflective of this energy: it’s better to say nothing and just let the moment pass. Journal, schedule a therapy appointment, or hang out with a trusted friend until the drama blows over.

Scorpio

The moon is about to close a chapter related to your reputation and career as it careens through the final degrees of your tenth house, but not until it makes a tense square to Uranus in your seventh house. If your boyfriend, girlfriend, business partner, or best friend hasn’t been showing up for you, this has likely been reflected in your public image. Not only will you receive destabilizing news about someone who is very close to you, you’ll be forced to take responsibility for their actions. Fortunately, with Mars in your ninth house sextile Uranus in your seventh, you can expect mentors, academics, and spiritual leaders to stand up for you as character witnesses—metaphorically or literally, depending on the circumstances. The public is likely to empathize or at least show compassion to you while you navigate the fallout of this relationship. Before noon, the moon moves into your eleventh house, expanding your potential for popularity. It’s true what they say: even negative publicity is good publicity.

Sagittarius

As the moon finishes off its transit through your ninth house early this morning, it will make a square with Uranus in your sixth, putting you in an uncomfortable situation that forces you to reckon with your spiritual and ideological convictions in the workplace. A catalyzing event may trigger the need to set boundaries and speak up for what you believe, even if it compromises your relationships with your coworkers—or just makes things a little awkward. Don’t be afraid to ask for time off if you’re feeling as though you need more work-life balance. Honor your spiritual life. The Mars-Uranus sextile in your eighth and sixth houses, respectively, will place emphasis on your relationships with others and highlight the ways they have become codependent and toxic. On the other hand, if there is chemistry between you and a colleague, this might be the day they choose to act on it, instigating a taboo office romance that feels exciting and dangerous. When the moon moves into your tenth house later this morning, however, your career and reputation will be highlighted in a major way, so keep your secrets well-hidden. This is a great day to take the lead on a project at work or give a presentation, as your words will flow easily and you’ll be able to engage with your audience.

Capricorn

The moon finalizes its transit through your eighth house this morning, where it has been causing you to question your own mortality for the past couple of days—or has sent you down a pre-Halloween true crime rabbit hole. The square to Uranus in your fifth house, however, brings a sudden seismic shock to your creative and romantic life and exposes something taboo; if you’ve been seeing someone casually, they might reveal something about their sexual preferences that is an instant deal-breaker. If you’re not compatible, it’s better to know early on, before feelings get too intense. While you might be grieving what you thought you had, and this is certainly valid, the cosmos offers you a glimmer of hope in the form of the Mars-Uranus sextile. The warrior planet is currently in your seventh house, meaning that you won’t have to wait long to find more idyllic partners—and they’re likely to be monogamous, marriage-minded types, if that’s what you’re looking for. The moon moves into your ninth house late this morning, broadening your perspective on what matters to you spiritually, religiously, and culturally. Of course, all of these things influence the way we pursue relationships.

Aquarius

Your focus has been on your closest personal relationships for the past couple of days, but now that the moon is in the latter degrees of your seventh house, it will form a sharp square with Uranus in your fourth. If you’ve recently begun cohabitating with your partner, you’ll undoubtedly learn something unexpected about the way they exist within their own four walls. Or your family might meet your person for the first time and take the opportunity to point out every single crimson-red flag you had previously ignored. You’ll be walking on shaky ground for a while, but thankfully, Mars in your sixth house sextile Uranus in your fourth will keep you occupied with household tasks and weekend work that serves as a mental distraction. You can’t put off the uncomfortable conversations forever, but you can power through the initial feelings of shock or disappointment. When the moon ingresses into your eighth house later this morning, the impulse to sit your partner down and discuss the deeper stuff will be almost unavoidable. Start slow and be tactful.

Pisces

As the moon finishes its transit through your sixth house and forms a square with Uranus in your third, you’ll find local workplace gossip to be distracting as you try to make use of the productive energy high you’ve been on for the past couple of days. It’s likely nothing too serious—just petty drama, not fireable offenses—but you’ll nevertheless be frustrated by the lack of focus from your colleagues. It might feel very much like you’re the only one committed to the outcome of a project that requires everyone’s full-time dedication. You might feel burdened by the expectation to take on more work than you’re accustomed to, especially if your job involves communication, writing, or public relations. There is a silver lining in the form of the Mars-Uranus sextile, though: this takes place in your fifth and third houses, respectively, giving you a boost of creative and romantic power that you can infuse into the humdrum responsibilities of your day. If you’ve been casually seeing a new male partner, he might offer a suggestion that feels like a total eureka moment. Later this morning, the moon ingresses into your seventh house, reflecting a softer and more romantic energy; set aside your stressors, silence your notifications, and have an impromptu date night with your partner. Or, if you’re single, romance yourself. You deserve it.
