Your daily horoscope for October 31, 2026 brings a generous, big-hearted Halloween. Retrograde Venus at 27° Libra is reaching toward a sextile with Jupiter at 24° Leo. They’re 2.58° apart and closing, and the sextile turns exact early on November 4. Venus rules love, pleasure, and money, and Jupiter is the planet of luck and generosity. A sextile is the aspect of opportunity: it opens a door, but you have to walk through it. Because Venus is in her retrograde phase until November 13, today’s opportunity will probably come from someone or something already in your life, like an old friend or a creative project you set aside. Jupiter in Leo adds warmth and a little showmanship, which feels just right for a night of costumes and candlelight.
The Moon spends the whole day in Cancer, its home sign. It’s a waning gibbous Moon, about 65% illuminated this morning and easing toward Sunday’s Last Quarter. Around 3 a.m. ET it trines retrograde Mercury in Scorpio, which helps honest feelings find the right words. Yesterday’s Moon–Saturn square is separating (3.27°), so the heavy mood lifts. Around 6 p.m. ET, just as trick-or-treaters head out, the Moon squares retrograde Venus, and around 9 p.m. ET it squares Chiron in Aries, so keep evening plans cozy and kind. In the background, retrograde Mercury’s square to Mars is fading (0.35°), and Uranus keeps trining Pluto (1.59°, applying). The Moon enters Leo at 12:20 a.m. ET Sunday, and clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Whether you celebrate Halloween or Samhain, read on for your sign.
Best Time to Act
The headline Venus–Jupiter sextile is applying, so its generous energy builds all day. Use the morning to plan. The Moon’s pre-dawn trine to Mercury leaves you clear about what you want. Late afternoon is your window for action: invite, create, and celebrate. After about 6 p.m. ET, the Moon squares Venus and then Chiron, so tender feelings may surface. The Mercury–Mars square, the Venus–North Node trine, and the Moon–Saturn square are all separating, so yesterday’s friction is losing steam.
