Your daily horoscopes for Saturday October 26, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
You’re in “give the world service with a smile” mode this Saturday as the Virgo moon catches a powerful ray from the transformational Scorpio Sun. If a cause speaks to your heart, make a contribution. Can’t spare the cash? No problem—donate your time or talents instead. With your leadership skills, you might even take the reins and organize a holiday food drive or rally coworkers for a toy collection. Don’t underestimate the impact of random acts of kindness. Lending a neighbor your ear or dropping off groceries to a busy friend could make a bigger difference than you imagine. Power dynamics may shift during Sunday’s moon-Saturn opposition, when you’re faced with an offer that’s close, but not quite good enough. There’s no reason you should have to compromise, Aries, so don’t sell yourself short. Settling for second best only delays the process of getting exactly what you desire. There may be room for negotiation, so don’t rule out that possibility. That said, if you’re fundamentally a mismatch, you’d be wasting time trying to mold this situation to your desires. Have faith and hold out for the right fit.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
You’re a walking attention magnet this Saturday, Taurus, thanks to the glamorous Sun-moon angle that’s working in your favor. Ready for your close-up? Have a friend snap some pics or sprinkle some well-timed brags on social media. Don’t wait around to be discovered now. Put yourself out there and you might just attract interest from a key player. Got a big idea brewing? Pitch away—you’ll have them hooked right from the start. On the romantic front, Cupid’s in your corner, but you’ll need to direct his arrows. Spark up a conversation with that intriguing someone you’ve been eyeing. Under Sunday’s moon-Saturn opposition, you have a say in how high the drama will escalate. No matter how obnoxious people’s behavior is, the way you react and respond determines the final outcome. Buttons pushed? Take that deep breath and count backward from ten before fighting fire with fire. Although you may feel perfectly justified in losing your cool, you’ll also lose control of the situation if you allow emotions to creep in. Take a timeout (for a few days) if your composure is at risk.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
With this Saturday’s easygoing alignment between the Sun and moon, you’re in for some heartwarming interactions. Pour yourself a cozy mug of Earl Grey, Gemini, and settle into a comfy chair to enjoy the moment. Even if you’re short on time, make the effort to return texts you’ve ignored. Better yet, catch up while tackling a home-improvement project. Got ambition? With extra energy, you might take on a renovation mission. Paint roller in hand, earbuds on: Multitask away! Better yet, host a painting party and buy dinner for friends willing to roll up their sleeves. As heavy Saturn opposes the moon on Sunday, you may have to make a sacrifice for someone you love. Truth is, you may actually be fine with it. NOT being there for them would feel worse than going a bit out of your way. That said, your generosity should still know some bounds. The point is to be supportive, not take their troubles on as your own.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
This Saturday, emotions could run high, and when you feel vulnerable, your instinct may be to retreat into your shell. Instead, try to stay open when tough conversations arise. People need to know how you REALLY feel, Cancer. It’s time to express yourself authentically, even if there’s a conflict involved. Been avoiding a friend because of an annoying habit? Now’s the perfect moment to hash it out and bring the love back in. On Sunday, boundary hound Saturn chimes in when it opposes the Virgo moon. As a solitude-loving Cancer, you can be equal parts family-oriented and self-sovereign. Yet this habit of swinging between moods may be affecting the quality of your closest relationships. You’ll never have a chance to truly connect to people if you’re always pulling away. Figure out the right amount of involvement and say (for example), “I can come by for an hour” or “I can’t take on a chair position, but I CAN do X.” When you know where the exit ramp is, you may have an easier time staying put.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
A lucky Sun-moon sextile this Saturday could open the door to a lucrative opportunity, so keep your ear to the ground. Fortune favors the bold, Leo! Be on the lookout for a profitable side gig or a reputation-boosting project at work. Speak up and let people know you want to be involved—the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Just watch out for overconfidence; don’t rush into anything without doing your research first. A little background work will make all the difference before you leap. When Saturn enters the equation on Sunday, take note of the powerful people surrounding you. There’s a good chance they can assist you with your financial growth. Your job, however, is to silence your inner know-it-all before it has the chance to sabotage these supportive connections. Humble yourself and ask lots of questions. Take it all in; you don’t have to come back with a clever response. Even if you only wind up using 10 percent of the advice you get, there’s a nugget of gold to be gleaned.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
The Virgo moon gets a sweet smooch from the Sun this Saturday, encouraging you to practice some self-love. Contrary to popular belief, prioritizing your needs isn’t selfish, Virgo. When you focus on your own fulfillment, you’re a happier, more positive force for the people around you. Whether it’s signing up for a yoga retreat or setting boundaries with a relative long before the holidays, be bold about taking care of YOU. If you have a big announcement, this Saturday is the perfect time to share the news. Change isn’t always easy—or gentle—for the analytical Virgo, but on Sunday, the serious moon-Saturn opposition gives you the incentive to tackle one of the bigger areas in your life that’s in need of a shift. It begins with honesty: You’re not happy about the way things are going, and it’s okay to say so. Admitting that there’s an issue is the first step in solving the problem, not the demise of life as you know it.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
This Saturday, the perceptive moon in your healing sector connects with the Sun, offering you a chance to release an old grudge. Not quite ready to forgive and forget, Libra? Start small by writing down your feelings (and maybe burning the letter instead of sending it). Or schedule an overdue therapy session. Letting go of anger is an important first step toward peace. Processing these emotions can teach you valuable lessons, like setting healthier boundaries and pacing your relationships more wisely. Clear the decks under Sunday’s moon-Saturn opposition. Before you can welcome anything (or anyone) new into your world, you have to wrap up the unfinished business that’s been piling up on your plate. Otherwise, a source of success will only feel like another stressful demand. Don’t get swept up in FOMO. You don’t have to turn down everyone’s offers and invitations; just let people know that you need a little more time before you can engage or commit.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
Your network is your “net worth,” Scorpio, so socialize strategically this Saturday as the Virgo moon in your collaboration zone fist-bumps the Sun in your sign. Even if you already have amazing contacts, don’t rest on your laurels. Get out there and meet people! Your social life could also benefit from a little more effort. If you hear an intriguing conversation nearby, don’t be shy: join in! You never know what could come from a chance meeting. If your social calendar has been lacking, now’s the time to explore a new scene. On Sunday, dial down the intensity in a close relationship by taking conversations about the future off the table. The best insurance policy for a shared tomorrow is to make sure you’re enjoying each other’s company right here and now. For example, when was the last time you approached your love interest the way you would a new friend? Try that tack Sunday and enjoy the ease of communication that flows between you as a result. You might even learn something new about each other or share a much-needed laugh.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
What’s the knocking, Sagittarius? This Saturday’s Sun-moon sextile could open a door to exciting new opportunities. But it’s up to you to answer! Set your sights high and follow your instincts. Whether it’s DMing an influential acquaintance or signing up for a seminar, the timing couldn’t be better. Have a project or service to promote? Spread the word this Saturday. You may even find unexpected support from a celebrity or corporate VIP. The stars are aligning for your success, so seize the moment. What Sagittarius hasn’t dreamed, at least once, of signing their own paycheck and being the boss? On Sunday, the serious moon-Saturn opposition could bring compelling evidence that it’s time to explore the idea of running your own business…if only as a side gig. If Archer, Inc., isn’t currently in the cards, find ways to take on more autonomy and leadership at your current job. A new role may not be open yet, but you can position yourself for the ascent by acting as if you’re already an important executive. It’s all in the attitude.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
Lady Luck is on your side this Saturday, Capricorn, thanks to a fortunate Sun-moon alignment. A spark might ignite with someone who’s very different from you, perhaps even from a different culture or residing multiple time zones away. Make sure your passport is ready and that your suitcase zips properly. You never know when a travel opportunity might come out of the blue. If you’ve been itching for an adventure, now’s the time to act. Keep your eyes open for unexpected invitations, whether you’re going leaf-peeping or on a layover flight to another continent. The moon crosses wires with your ruler, stoic Saturn, this Sunday, which might make you a little more introverted. While you hate to reschedule, pushing yourself through a protracted group brunch could zap your energy for the whole day. Put on your headphones and go for a walk, maybe to check out an exhibit or to browse a sale without interruption. Once you’ve refilled your tanks, you’ll have more patience for others. If anything, try to save your social time for the end of the day. Can’t change plans? Be more of a listener than a storyteller.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
You’re known for keeping your emotions guarded, Aquarius, but this Saturday’s Sun-moon sextile encourages you to show a little vulnerability. Taking the first step might be scary, but you may inspire others to do the same. With the moon lighting up your intimate eighth house, those close to you could respond with open arms, and maybe more! Go ahead, share what’s on your mind. By nightfall, you could find yourself wrapped in a comforting embrace. On Sunday, you’re privy to other people’s blind spots, Aquarius, but be sensitive when sharing what you see. As the moon opposes your co-ruler, stern Saturn, you may not realize how harsh you’re being. The point is to support them in their evolution, not to leave them feeling judged or shamed. Rather than going for the direct hit with your feedback, try sharing a similar lesson you learned from your own life. That might shine a light on the issue for them, helping them see their own foibles without you having to point them out.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 26
There’s no need to keep sidestepping a tough conversation, Pisces. This Saturday, the moon in your partnership zone aligns with the Sun in your candid ninth house, creating ideal conditions for open, honest communication. Avoiding the issue has been draining, but speaking from the heart will bring relief. Don’t just stick to comfortable topics. It’s time to go deep. There’s always more to learn about love, Pisces, and Sunday’s serious moon-Saturn opposition calls for an honest inventory of your own actions. Does the same relationship drama keep rewriting itself with a different co-star? Do you find yourself stuck in the same old uncomfortable role no matter who you’re with? Rather than pointing the finger, look within. Awareness of your self-sabotaging patterns is the first step toward changing them. Sunday, you could catch yourself in the act and make the choice to try a different tact. Hello, personal breakthrough!
