HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, October 30, 2022. Any energy or enthusiasm that we’ve been feeling might take a sharp decline, as active Mars begins its two-and-a-half-month retrograde today. Under this Mars retrograde, we may have trouble staying on track or motivated. We should reassess our goals and give a little more thought to the moves we make next. Avoiding messy arguments and impulsive decision-making could prove to be challenging, too. Taking time to think before we act will be vital, as will examining how we deal with conflict. Since today’s skies are fairly calm, we can make the most of the day by taking it easy.

ARIES: (March 21 to April 19)

It isn’t necessary to always have the last word. Steer clear of petty arguments. You don’t need to stoop down to someone else’s level.

TAURUS: (April 20 to May 20)

Money might be a bit funny now, so try not to splurge too much or make risky decisions with your cash.

GEMINI: (May 21 to June 20)

You could be feeling irritable today. Be mindful of lashing out. Release the negative vibes with a workout or some meditation.

CANCER: (June 21 to July 22)

It might be difficult to move forward with a plan or goal. You might need to wait for better timing or partner up with someone who can help you.

LEO: (July 23 to Aug 22)

Have you been doing too much for your friends? Or maybe you could show up more? Whichever the answer, it’s about to become crystal clear.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 to Sept 22)

There might be certain projects that you’re just not excited about anymore. If you’re having second thoughts, that might actually be a good thing.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 to Oct 22)

Your usual enthusiasm might be zapped today. It could be a good idea to skip going out and stay inside instead.

SCORPIO: (Oct 23 to Nov 21)

Instead of keeping your feelings under wraps, start talking about them. It may end up improving your well-being, as well as your relationships.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 to Dec 21)

A certain relationship might be a source of contention. Maybe it’s time to examine if this connection still aligns with your values.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 to Jan 19)

You might be rethinking your approach to work and wellness. Do you need to develop a better way to manage stress?

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 to Feb 18)

Today asks you to dial it back a bit. Rest and reflection are the priorities now. Sometimes there’s such a thing as having a little too much fun.

PISCES: (Feb. 19 to March 20)

What kind of dreams do you have for your home? Are you ready to move or make some upgrades? Now’s a good time to start planning.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re sensible and down-to-earth. You’re also quite inventive, too. You can see what’s possible and dare to dream big. Though, you take time to put in the hard work and planning necessary to turn what you envision into something real. You don’t shy away from responsibility. In fact, you might take too much of it on at times. You’re learning how to be a little more carefree. However, when a problem needs to be handled, you make sure it gets done. This year, you’re encouraged to get into the habit of asking for what you need so life can be easier for you.
