Horoscopes for 10-27-2026

Scorpio
I do adore me some Scorpio. I’ve been sitting in place at work, and a Scorpio walks in? I can often feel s a Scorpio from a hundred yards away, so strong is that pull. However, I also know to leave well-enough alone, as a Scorpio wronged is a dangerous beast. Don’t cross a Scorpio. Don’t ever lie to a Scorpio. I tend to treat them kindly, openly, and with a certain breathless enthusiasm. But I am careful with my words. I never make a promise that I can’t fulfill, not to a Scorpio. If only the rest of the world followed that advice? Think how much simpler life would be for Scorpio. The problem being, in the next few days, there’s a whole host of material that is verifiably false, possibly not true, or just empty salesmen promises. Happy Halloween? instead of getting worked up and then worked over because of false statements? Just take it in, and don’t hold onto it. “That’s interesting,” best Scorpio commentary for the time being. And happy birthday. You know you can trust me.
Sagittarius
The first time I used the expression, “Limited to supplies on hand?” I was promoting one of my own digital books. At that point, I was hosting and streaming the material off my own site, so yes, I was paying for the storage and bandwidth. Still, that digital footprint isn’t too large, and wasn’t that much of an inconvenience. Didn’t take up too much space. Didn’t slow down the server. The commentary my listing elicited was amusing, “It’s digital, you don’t have to limit the number of times it gets downloaded.” It’s my humor; you don’t want to overthink it. Besides, I might’ve put a counter on it, I think the server I was using at the time had just such thing, and I could’ve limited it. Then there’s the price model where the first hundred are 99 cents, and the next hundred go up, and so forth. Too complicated. At the top of the web page, or maybe the bottom, these days, I run some fineprint, and one of the reminders is, “Limited to supplies on hand.” This week’s Sagittarius missive, if it isn’t clear, it’s “Limited to supplies on hand.”
Capricorn
The world is falling down, everywhere but not in Capricorn. On either side, there’s ruin and destructions, the walls closing in, the end is near. In front of you, not in Capricorn, but adjacent? The end is near. But for Capricorn? The more you avoid the pitfalls, and planetary pranks? The better off you are. Might not be emerging from this fray unscathed, but avoiding the bigger issues makes life easier. Hint: it’s not you — it’s us. We are the problem. Avoid taking on problems that aren’t of your own making.
Aquarius
The very nature of the inter-connectedness of the web is what made it appealing, to me, as a medium. Media that includes links to longer material, supporting bits, or one of the very first technology blogs that existed? Links to weird, trivial, amusing, and sometimes incoherent asides. In the early days, video was expensive and burned too much bandwidth, so it was primarily textual. There was a certain appeal. I might be of an age, though, and how this applies, moving forward, for Aquarius? It’s easy to start chasing an idea, then follow it into wormhole of data, theories, supporting materials, and then, some stuff that is just plain fiction. “But it sounded real!” The best joke at the time? “I read it on the web — it has to be true.” What I’m suggesting go ahead and fall down that rabbit’s hole, and chase up strange links that point to something that lands you on another page. Dig and delve, click, link, like, and punch forward, further along until you arrive at the end. Or you get to the point that realize it is just devolved into silliness.
Pisces
I don’t have a “To be read” stack of books. Bedside, there’s a couple of books I want to read. Those haven’t changed in years. In my office, there’s a stack of books I’ve been meaning to read, some texts are entertainment, some historical fiction, some history, and little bit of poetry, and again, those haven’t changed much, I might’ve added one book to that pile, but the books are stored horizontally just below camera angle. No need to advertise. Then, there’s a small stack by my various “go-bags,” one for personal travel, one for business travel. I keep thinking I’ll get “that call,” and I’ll want to make sure I have a book with me, while I wait in waiting rooms. But not much has changed. The books that I am reading, those turn over pretty fast: libraries, personal copies from friends, and so forth. So, no, I don’t have a large, inbound stack of material. In the coming week, Pisces can set about organizing those books you’ve been meaning to read, in a reasonable fashion. Whatever works.
Aries
I tend towards a largely vegetarian diet these days. Age, blood type, and health indicators led me this way. However, in my younger years, despite what is commonly held as facts? I was largely vegetarian then, as well. Not a big deal, just trying to eat healthier. After years in old “hippie” Austin, though, the best vegetarian food, vegan actually, I found? It was a restauranteur from San Antonio who cycled through a series of locations, always growing the good stuff and serving it. Only place I’ll eat kale, that’s for sure. When I started to write about what was happening in Aries, I was going to use the example of meat portions I would eat in an average week, just maybe two pork ribs and a few slices of tender, properly rendered brisket. Just enough, but not too much. Try salads and veggies, may be a slice of bacon, but mostly plant proteins, and see how that works. It’s about balance, Aries, it’s about balance.
Taurus
For many, long years, I had the ultimate excuse: I was out-of-town that weekend. Didn’t always work, but largely, it was too true and most effective. A valid reason I wasn’t available. Then, too, travel itself was more arduous, as I would have to leave a day or two early and stay a day or two later. At least on the surface, this was about work. Being self-employed meant I was responsible for the routing, the costs, and scheduling. Still, I was “out of town” that weekend so I couldn’t show up for that thing. One habit that stuck with me, when arriving home from almost any destination? I would unpack then repack. Invariably, seems like I would always forget something. Not exactly mission-critical, but important enough. Pens, pencils, paperwork, books to read, cords, chargers, batteries, blank media, always something. There are two forward-thinking pointers for Taurus, one is the simple excuse, “I was out-of-town that weekend,” but the second? Remember to reload before you do anything else.
Gemini
This popped up in several books I was reading, so I thought I would toss it out for Gemini: “Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.” I suppose it should be the realm of answers, but as an investigative tactic, that works, too. More as just a plain interrogative issue. The way the week stacks up, or unwinds, be more like it, the current backwards phase of Mercury, against the forward-thinking material imbued with that ongoing Uranian flavor? Stick to what you know is fact. or, as I suggested, a plot point swiped from some novel? “Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.” Short-attention span theatre time?
Cancer
All Hallow’s Eve, Samhain to some, is about transitioning from Summer to Winter. It’s a Fall Festival, of sorts, and gets celebrated a number of different ways. Locally, it’s Dia de los Muertos. Growing up in Texas, as I did, I found that the date usually, not always, but usually coincided with the shift in temperatures. The first truly “Fall” days seemed to come right after Halloween. That’s my recollection, and current observations. For the gentle Moon Children, the sign of the crab, Cancer? This is about a gentle shift, but the placement of the moon, its phase as it plays against the backdrop of the heavens, and the Cancer chart placements? It can feel a little more abrupt than I like, or as I’ve tried to describe. Abrupt shits aren’t bad, but be braced and prepared.
The Leo
As I understand, the proper way to drink espresso, the Italian method, where it is from? A single shot of espresso should be served pipping hot, and as it cools enough so it doesn’t burn the palate, take a tentative first sip, letting the oils from the coffee roll over the tongue and coat the taste buds. The second sip is more like a chug, getting the most of the single shot of espresso down the gullet. The final sip stops just shy of any stray grounds floating in the bottom of the demitasse, but gathers up the rest of the life-affirming elixir, allowing the full flavor of the beans and grind to be appreciated. Basically: sample, chug, appreciate. Lingering over an espresso-based drink is strictly American. This is a time to learn to drink that espresso like the Italians intended. Slam that down, and keep moving. No time to linger.
Virgo
There’s a simple archetype that’s expanded in recent years, thanks to streaming and the convergence of film, TV, and digital. For Virgo? Think I was starting with Morticia Addams as the archetype, but in recent years, Wednesday is equally appropriate, and adjust as you see fit. All black attire. A presence that makes a statement about not drawing attention to one’s self, and then, that garners all the attention. All black attire, did I include that? A stoic facial expression, affection devoid of emotional content, except, maybe, a tad bit of disdain for everything not dead. Part holiday, part planetary, part crafted just for Virgo, it’s about what works. Deadpan, “Really?”
Libra
There are various social media feeds I cruise through. Sort of last-minute, late-night, distracted reading. More a light peruse, rather than consuming. One of the feeds was about home decor, with obvious commercial and affiliate ties, but still, some good ideas, sorting through the dross. For every hundred entries, there might two or three that catch my eye as possible ways to improve where I live. Design ideas, latest fads, storage solutions, and more. Doing the mathematical analysis that’s 2% of the material is useful but mostly some, if flagrant, advertising. Some is clearly holiday specific. Every once in a while, somewhere between one and two percent of the material? There’s an idea I like. Or an idea I can use. Or suggested color scheme that might work. OK, for Libra? Write that idea down — don’t implement it yet. Write it down for later use.
