Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.

Happy Birthday for Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024:

You are wild, energetic and dynamic, and in the next moment, you are cool, calm and reserved. You are always intelligent. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you; take inventory. Let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★
You might feel some challenges today. You feel you should work, but you don’t want to. This could lead to guilty feelings or self-recrimination. Do what you can, then take a break. Tonight: Check your finances. This Week: Don’t be seduced by others.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Children might be an increased responsibility today. Even social events might be a bit of a slog or a challenge. Perhaps you have to meet the expectations of someone else, especially someone older or an authority figure. Tonight: Cooperate. This Week: Work for yourself as well as others.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★
Keep a low profile today. If difficulties with parents or authority figures at home are challenging, you might want to run away! Life seems hard today. Tonight: Work. This Week: Make sure you know what you’re doing. Think twice.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★
Today it’s easy to fall into worry mode. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” (I’m a worrier, so this advice is hypocritical.) Things are not as bad as they look today. Tonight: Relax. This Week: Do your best to have self-discipline. Be independent.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Today you might feel discouraged because finances are tight. Either your earnings are disappointing or the price of food and entertaining is too challenging. (Join the club. We number in the millions.) Tonight: Cocoon. This Week: Don’t take other people’s words for things. Find your own truth.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Today the Moon is still in your sign; however, it’s at odds with stern Saturn, which, in turn, will make people feel stifled and a bit ill at ease. Go outside for a walk if you can. Don’t take anything too seriously. Tonight: Learn. This Week: If you think something fishy is going on, it is!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You’re willing to work even though you’re not keen. Seek out some time alone. Quit trying to please everyone. If you please yourself, that will cover more than half of everyone else. Tonight: Check your money. This Week: Resist obsessive ideas about money and possessions.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Someone more experienced might throw some shade your way today. You might feel diminished or judged. Let this go. Go with what works, because the Sun, Mercury and Venus are in your sign, which is a blessing! Tonight: Discussions. This Week: Be careful about talking yourself into something.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Because you’re high-viz today, you might feel self-conscious. Perhaps you feel judged. Slough this off and get outside. You always feel better if you’re outdoors, preferably involved in sports or dealing with animals. Tonight: Solitude. This Week: Be true to yourself. Be honest.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Sometimes we need to shut down our involvement with the news and the media. All the sad stories in the world can get you down. Or perhaps you are discouraged by rules and regulations. Enjoy the company of someone younger. Tonight: Share your goals. This Week: If you’re suspicious, trust your hunches.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Because money is a squeeze play today, you might be discouraged. Fortunately, the Sun, Mercury and fair Venus are at the top of your chart making you look attractive and successful. A flirtation with a boss might take place. Tonight: Be modest. This Week: Don’t believe authority figures. Think for yourself.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Yet again, the Moon is opposite your sign, forcing you to focus on partners and close friends. However, today, with Saturn in the picture, relations with others are strained. You might feel it’s hard to please someone. But they might feel this same way about you. Stay chill. Tonight: Explore. This Week: Don’t fall for propaganda and lies.
