Daily Horoscope: October 29, 2023

We’re aligning with generosity and optimism as the moon in Taurus meets up with Jupiter in Taurus at 2:37 AM. We might be dispelled from our cozy slumbers or sense of comfort as the moon faces off with Mercury and Mars in Scorpio, at 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM, respectively. Intrusive thoughts and internal conflicts may rupture our sense of security and moments of quiet, though we’re also feeling encouraged to stand our ground.

Problems are faced swiftly and directly as Mercury and Mars align at 10:22 AM. There’s no more time to beat around the bush; our words and actions can be quite calculated now. Sharp tongues can weaponize words, but we could arrive at more triumphant solutions through sincere and dauntless character.

Nuance and care open us up to stability and emotional resources as the moon harmoniously connects with Venus in Virgo at 5:33 PM. We might need to let ourselves feel wild and messy (physically and emotionally) as a step in the reorganization process when the moon meets up with Uranus in Taurus at 8:36 PM.

All times ET.
