Horoscope: Tuesday, Oct 27

This is by any measure one of the best times of the year for you but that is not an invitation to throw caution to the wind. Today’s Mars-Saturn link means you can get a huge amount done, but you must be careful and you must plan ahead.

With Venus in your sign linked to Saturn, planet of wisdom, you will know without a shadow of a doubt what is the right thing to do. Both in your personal life and at work you will amaze others by your confidence and your can-do attitude.

Today you could look in the mirror and panic about your appearance, Taurus. You might be feeling a little under the weather and look a little tired. Nonetheless, you probably look a lot better than you think you do. Don't fall into the trap of blowing every little flaw out of proportion. A little rest is probably all you need in order to look like yourself again.

This is one of the most productive times of the year for you and creative activities, in particular, are now under incredible stars. Put any emotional issues you may have out of your mind and focus on what truly inspires you.

The Sun in the career area of your chart means you must get serious about your ambitions. You may think you are serious already but are you prepared to put everything you have on the line? Go the extra yard, then make it a mile.

You have so much to look forward to, so why are you still concerned about what happened in the past? Take it as read that your luck has changed for the better and that you can and you must now move on. The future is bright.

The general atmosphere of the day may seem too slow and stodgy for your tastes, Leo. Try not to get bogged down in details. Try not to worry too much. You may find that it's difficult to get any enthusiasm out of people today. You might just want to sit back and take it easy. This is a good day to plan and reorganize. Honor your recent achievements and consolidate all that you've worked for.

Your sense of responsibility is probably the catalyst for most of your motivation, Virgo. But what happens when events are beyond your control and you're powerless to do anything about them? You may have to admit that sometimes you can't control everything, especially your family and friends. Today you should think about letting things happen occasionally. Your life will be a lot less complicated.

Libra is a cardinal sign and as such you sometimes rush in where angels fear to tread. Today though you must be a little more cautious in your activities, especially where money matters are concerned. If you risk it all you could lose it all.

You won’t find what you are looking for by staying locked up indoors. The message of the stars today is that you need to get out into the world and socialize with like-minded people. Together you will do wonders, and have a lot of fun too.

You're probably good at applying your spiritual principles to the way you live, Scorpio. You're especially good at it today, particularly when it comes to understanding others deeply. Relationships of all kinds will likely grow and improve, at least those that matter. Those that don't will disappear. This is a time of great outer and inner change for you. Make the most of it!

A chance to take a long journey, perhaps to a distant state or foreign country, could suddenly present itself to you today, Sagittarius. This trip is apt to be far more significant than a simple vacation. It may be career related or involve an opportunity to expand your education. It could also concern a relationship. Whichever it is, you're likely to make the trip and it will probably change your life in subtle ways.

It’s not often you are caught out by events – usually your finger is on the pulse and you know exactly what is going on – but what happens over the next 48 hours will surprise you, and in a good way. Some surprises you don’t mind at all.

A great deal has taken place in your life in recent weeks, much of it in private or behind the scenes, and now you need some time by yourself so you can process all the new information you have been given. Hopefully it will make sense.

Your mood may be a bit detached and scattered today, Aquarius. This attitude could get you into trouble if you aren't careful. Make sure you keep at least one foot on the ground. It's important to stay strongly connected with reality or you could find yourself up a creek without a paddle. Feel free to get more deeply involved in a project that you might otherwise leave to others.

You know when you are on to a good thing and today’s link between Venus, planet of love, and Pluto, planet of passion, will remind you how lucky you are to have people in your life who truly care. If they’re happy you will be happy as well.
