Horoscopes for 10-13-2026

Libra
We’re all looking for a miracle. There has to be one cure, one answer, a single function that can fix, “all of this.” It’s mess, all right, but there isn’t a single, quick, easy fix. I know, birthdays and all, but there isn’t a single fix that will correct some of these problems. As the days gradually get darker? In the wan winter light? Sun sets earlier? As we move through this fall season, remember that there isn’t a “quick fix,” and for that matter, no “get rich quick” scheme that works. Since there’s not a quick answer? Looks like a few weeks yet, of somewhat cloudy outlook? Adjust your expectations. No one ever lost out underestimating the stupid people.
Scorpio
It’s fun, for me, looking at what’s there. In this case, I had a couple of spare USB drives. One had a lecture on it. Another had some material I was turning over to the city in a discussion, and it was back-up proof that I was, indeed, correct. Problem was solved before I ever needed to present my material. Still, it was there on a little flash drive. Sort of like uncovering old (digital) relics of the past. One drive came from client, and the logo etched on it? “Texas Department of Public Safety,” the cops, for real. Makes a cute keepsake. “Were you in trouble?” Not recently, not me. This is all digging around, looking for something, and finding something else. The pictures are all backed-up, three ways to Tuesday, so that isn’t an issue, and those drives can be useful to store portable data. What do you find when you go looking, Scorpio? Deep dive and all?
Sagittarius
I was bragging about my own garden. My “darwinian approach,” with cycles of drought, over-saturation, inexpert pruning, and more kinds of abuse than I care to enumerate. It’s a cycle of attention and then neglect. “Darwinian,” as only the fit survive. I don’t kill the plants; they are incapable of surviving in a fast-paced, competitive environment. Need to be a good self-starter. I was out of town for a few days, came home, and two more plants died. Couldn’t take the neglect? I guess. If they live, they live. If not? Compost and recycled. “It’s the cycle of life,” I guess. I was disturbed until I realized looking at the stars, this is time to let the plants that have served their time, let them free, however that appears. I have to go back to my original sense that I try, but it’s a weird cycle of over-indulgence then neglect. Time to recycle?
Capricorn
Stop, pause, decide. Then motor forward a few feet, and stop again. Pause, reassess that decision, and look at it a second time. Take a few more steps in what seems like the best direction, then? Stop again. Pause. Looks like indecision, but it’s really trying to see clearly when nothing seems clear. Sure, there’s the obvious path, but as you know, it’s a Capricorn thing, that the easiest way might have a pitfall or two. Or even three. Which, count the steps, advance, pause, reassess. Advance, pause, recalibrate. Move forward, take a break, look around, test the assumption that this is correct path.
Aquarius
I was jockeying around with a computer peripheral. Older piece, mostly sat on the desk, connected to a computer. Pass through. Somehow, it quit working. There were little lights on the front of the thing, and one of them flickered for a while then went out. Not an expensive device, if you must know, and not really mission-critical other than it connected a few items. When that light faltered, I realized, through no fault of my own, the device was failing, or had failed. Either way? Quickest, most expedient answer? I disconnected it, and put in the trash. Actually, recycle, as there were no user-serviceable parts, and no battery. Simplest solution? Throw away the part that no longer functions properly and interferes with forward motion. “I wonder if I take it apart, can I fix it?”
Pisces
Just because it’s my idea, does that mean I’m correct? Simple enough, and we’ve seen this played out in the various media formats, lately. Just because I like my idea, does that mean it is correct? I tend to rely on multiple sources, part of a journalistic methodology that I learned — many years distant. Instead of one source of data, I prefer three, and see if there is a consensus to help formulate an opinion. Hint: I’m not always right. That’s what is more important, too, that I understand that I might not have the right answer. Scouring the interwebs doesn’t really count, as that is more emotional material and less factual bits. My old blog tagline was “experimental and experiential” and that should apply to this week’s Pisces methodology. Go, see for yourself.
Aries
Ever see a decent skateboard kid? One of the kids who know exactly what they are doing? There’s an urban grit yet ease and grace that comes from the relatively fluid movements. Kids like that? They make it look so easy. Watching them, I guess, “Anybody could do that.” However, if you’re not a skater or skateboard person? Be prepared to fall, fail, and wind up on your ass a few times. Maybe many times. I have a couple of buddies who were good at skating (skateboarding, don’t know the lingo), and can still ride. Not often, and not much, but certainly better than me. In order to get that good, though? Practice, practice, practice, and more than a few failures. They look graceful, gliding through a neighborhood, or threading traffic on a busy sidewalk, true sidewalk surfers. However, to get that good? Remember, originally, there were helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and so forth, all as learning device. Something as simple as a dismount, slide up, step off, kick the skateboard into a resting position? Practice. Years of practice. None of this lesson can be learned overnight, Aries.
Taurus
The problem? There’s an inner voice, a mental Taurus monologue, “We have to fix his right now!” It is accompanied with a sense of dire urgency, which is like regular urgency, only more important. Or so it seems? So it appears to be urgent, like, klaxons blaring, alarms screeching, and other noises like sirens indicate such situations. The problem being, only Taurus can perceive this apparent emergency and as such? Let it alone. “But we have to fix this right now!” But do we? “We have to fix his right now!” Are you really sure that’s your job?
Gemini
“Accretion.” Simple enough term, and one I learned from geology. Usually, though, and coastal fishing reminds me of this, usually, though, it’s about the way material slowly, gradually, almost imperceptibly gathers and accumulates. Like the outflow from a river, again, at the coast, watching the material wash downstream until it hits the Gulf. To make sure I was using the term correctly, as I know my own memory is faulty, at best, I looked the term up. There’s another version, a definition, about how this is astronomical as in when gravity attract particles and that’s how stars are born. Either one works, but both apply to this week’s Gemini. It’s the slow build-up of material, laying down a solid foundation, gather odd bits and letting it coalesce. Hint: it’s not done yet. Not yet.
Cancer
As the moon starts to fill out? The Moon Children themselves, Cancer, the sign of the crab? You’re exploding with ideas. “Do this, then that works over there, and see? If we just rearrange it a little, the flow is ever so much more smooth. You can feel it, right?” Two pieces work to help you make it through this next week. A paper notebook of some ilk, and post-it style notes. There’s s combination of the two, in my mind, that helps. See? In the next few days, you have “the idea,” only, it’s better than that, it’s “THE IDEA!” All caps. Exclamation point, extra emphasis. Problem: timing. Now is not the time to tell us, now is not the time to show ups, and now is not the time publish that idea. This is where the notebook and post-it pay off. Write the idea down, then, as the pages of that notebook continue to fill with ideas? Use a post-it to mark where that idea is located. Simple enough plan, and it keeps your idea under wraps, but ready to be deployed, as the time approaches. “Where did I write that down?” Currently, I use a simple “sign here” type of sticker to remind me.
The Leo
Remember at the beginning of the year, you had all these great plans? Your best Leo self was going to run a 10K, learn to knit, make a birdhouse, read one novel from the list of the greats in western literature? Some goal that got quickly subsumed by political intrigue, angst, and lack of attention? Take a quick break, stop, look back over those “new year resolutions” from this past January. Yeah, some of those were frankly impossible, but there are one or two that, if you pause, you can see a way to get that done before the end of this year. This is a moment’s reprieve, and picking a realistic goal that seemed dream-like last January? Now’s the time to reassess, and then go after one, maybe two, of those New Year Resolutions that you forgot.
Virgo
While I love beginning with a fresh slate, a clean start? While I adore the idea of just such an endeavor? Does it really work that way? I’m infused with the memories, actions, and reactions of a lifetime. Some would guess a lifetime of regrets and sorrows, and others would suggest a life filled with happy memories. Either way, as in reality, it would be both, but either way? Those memories reflect what — how — a good Virgo will react to what’s just up ahead. The original idea was to start fresh, clean, no obstructions, and no baggage. However, everyone, and I suggest, everyone — everyone has some emotional flavor and shadings. That determines much of the directions we choose to take, and that’s the clue, moving forward. Look, acknowledge, but do consider that emotional baggage that shapes this week’s Virgo decisions. Clean slate? Sure, but I can still see the stuff that was written before. Obviously, no good Virgo cleaned that slate.
