Your daily horoscope: October 26

Horoscopes if today is your birthday

You will have to make some serious changes over the next year but you will welcome it because you know that you will not be able to make these changes by willpower alone. The universe is about to give you a big helping hand.

Aries (March 21 – April 20):

Some of your assumptions about what is right and wrong will likely be challenged today and you may have to admit that you need to change your thinking a little. But just a little – you’re still entitled to your point of view.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

The approaching lunar eclipse in your sign makes this a good time to evaluate how far you have come and how far you still have to go. Don’t get discouraged if you fail to achieve your goals – you have plenty of time to put it right.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):

There were times later on when you felt as if your world was falling apart but now things seem more relaxed and you can see that you have been overreacting to events that were actually quite normal. You can be so stressed out sometimes!

Cancer (June 22 – July 23):

If you are going to acquire something that you crave, you will need to offer something in return to whoever currently has it. What do you have to trade? Make a hard deal but make it fair too.

Leo (July 24 – August 23):

The most important thing now is to avoid wishful thinking, especially on the work front where you have to accept that you are not the only big beast in the jungle. You will achieve much more if you form alliances instead of enemies.

Virgo (August 24 – September 23):

According to the planets, you have been spending too much time and energy on something that has no real importance. Now you need to forget about it and move on to things that will make a real difference in your life and in the lives of those around you.

Libra (September 24 – October 23):

Your sign has a reputation for indecision that it only partially deserves but today you can and must act together and decide what you will do about a financial matter of some kind. The longer you leave it, the more it will cost you.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22):

With a lunar eclipse approaching in your opposite sign, you should make a serious effort to focus on what you have in common with others rather than on what divides you. If you search for connections you will find them quite easily.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21):

You need to confront your current predicament and stop pretending that it will correct itself if you leave it alone. A little logical thinking will go a long way from now until the weekend and is much better than self-deception.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20):

The approaching eclipse may make you criticize some other people and their mistakes but you should not hold back from saying what you think. The important thing is to give voice to what you believe is true, while taking into account the interests of others.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19):

You’ll probably hear something you don’t agree with in the next 24 hours, but if you’re smart you’ll stay silent and not get into an argument. Some people’s minds are so closed off to reality that you will never let them see the meaning.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20):

It is crucial to keep your emotions in check today, tomorrow and over the weekend. If you let your emotions dictate your reactions, you could say something provocative and things could get out of control very quickly.
