Horoscope for Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the moon is in Aries lined up with your ruler Mars. This can make you short-tempered and irritable. Obviously, this is a poor time for important discussions with anyone because you will find it difficult to maintain your cool and objectivity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel disgruntled because both the Moon and Mars are “hiding” in your chart, which makes you feel short-tempered and intense. Your challenge will be dealing with partners and close friends. Hopefully, issues with coworkers are fine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group. This is because unconsciously, you want others to bend to your will. (This might even be conscious!) You want to call the shots and you’re not open to compromise because you think you are right. (Are you?)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid arguments with parents, teachers, bosses the police and anyone in authority. If you engage in any kind of dispute — it will quickly disintegrate into a nasty battle. You don’t need this! If pushed, you might fly off the handle. Easy does it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Issues about politics, religion and racial matters are touchy to many people right now. But this is a poor day to debate these topics. That’s because your perspective will be so distorted, you will not be able to distinguish what is important from what is trivial. It’s a naked clash of wills.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Angry disputes about shared property, shared responsibilities or differing values will easily arise today. Quit trying to defend your position because it’s pointless. Today people simply want to get their own way. No one cares about the actual facts. Do what you can to keep the peace.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a challenging day dealing with partners and close friends because people want to fight because they are entrenched in their own point of view. The facts of the matter are not relevant. Instead, it’s a clash of egos. Run the other way!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you want to have your own way when dealing with others, especially coworkers or something to do with your health or a pet. You will insist on your own way even if it is foolhardy. Basically, the issues at hand are not as important to you as your right to exercise your own will. (Yikes!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents must be patient with their kids today to avoid arguments, which will only be unpleasant and will accomplish nothing. That’s because today, people are more interested in expressing their power than they are at arriving at solutions. Not good!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family arguments are likely today. This is because the moon in Aries is lined up with Mars in the area of your chart that relates to home and family. Avoid these confrontations if you can because they will be pointless and will accomplish nothing. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t lose it when dealing with others today, which you will be tempted to do. Today people are opinionated because they are clinging to their own views and their own will, and are incapable of listening to someone else. Oy! (You get the picture.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid money disputes with others because they will be nasty. It’s true that you are trying to wrap up some old business, but today is not the day to push your agenda. People are willful and more interested in being right than in listening.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Gabrielle Union (1972) shares your birthday. Outwardly you might appear to be reserved; but inwardly, you burn with an intense passion and a strong drive for success. It’s a time of learning and perhaps teaching as well. Invest in your future self. This year is a time to learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year.
