Come as you aren't
Still looking for a Halloween costume? Mercury's square to Mars in playful Leo adds a dare to the game: Tomorrow night, try on a quality that gets little airtime in your daily life. Go glamorous, gory, cuddly, ridiculous or mysterious. The costume can come off at midnight, but first you get to plan an evening as someone you rarely get to be. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Costume suggestion: Think cuddly. Go against your warrior nature; try a teddy bear, a baby or a Bluey character.

Advice Published: Oct. 29, 2026, 7:01 a.m. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY Through the ages, black cats have been called lucky, unlucky, magical, mysterious and misunderstood. On National Cat Day (or Black Cat Day in the U.K.), we’re reminded that though a cat’s reputation may change, the cat remains gloriously unchanged, stretching in the sun, chasing a moth, asking for dinner. What part of your life could use a little more cat? ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve taken a few tumbles and landed on your feet.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've taken a few tumbles and landed on your feet. You'll do it again, because climbers sometimes fall. That's the price of wanting the view from the top. Pick your next branch and go for it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A cat finds the warm patch of sunlight without wondering whether another spot might be better. You'll know what suits you today. Stay there a while. Contentment attracts good things. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Of course you let the cat out of the bag.

Holiday Mathis horoscopes for Oct. 28, 2026: Being a grown-up gives us room to move
Advice Published: Oct. 28, 2026, 7:01 a.m. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY The Gemini moon meets impulsive Uranus. Luckily, maturity gives us more moves than the knee-jerk reaction.

The correct move may feel less automatic, but it will fit the person you’ve become. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unexpected feelings come up. Give yourself a beat to process.

Holiday Mathis horoscopes Oct. 27, 2026: Break daily patterns by flipping the script
Advice Published: Oct. 27, 2026, 7:01 a.m. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY In some stretches of life, many days can pass without anything particularly memorable standing out to help you mark the time. It’s an argument for whimsy or breaking the pattern on impulse. The lunar opposition to Mercury is an invitation to flip the script. Dinner for breakfast, a dance break, a ridiculous fashion choice -- give them, and yourself, something to remember. ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Horoscope: Wednesday, October 28

Give yourself a beat to process. Even if you feel the first reaction with full force, you get to choose the official response. The power move is to say something that represents you well.
The heart goes hunting
"I yearn. Often, I sit and yearn. Have you yearned?" asked George Costanza. Tonight, the answer may be yes. The Hunter's Moon inspires longing to linger, pining to persist and wanting to worsen.

You can get so focused on the prize that you forget to imagine life after you get it. Look past the immediate win.

Horoscope: Tuesday, October 27
Emotions and achievements will be worthy of the archives. Aries (March 21-April 19) Whatever the awkward or seemingly inauspicious thing that happened, the sooner you brush it off, the better. You'll laugh about it in a week, and in four you'll hardly remember it. That you showed up at all -- that's what matters. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Move under the radar, operate within the group, and support others and help them to shine. Not attracting attention gives you an advantage.
Under the Hunter's Moon
In this week of the Hunter's Moon, Venus retrogrades into her home sign and Mercury squares Mars, promising that whatever it is you're hunting for, it won't be an easy prize. If it were, what would be the fun in that? Pick something worth the chase and follow through with strategy. Whether it's love or money, recognition or tenderness, study your subject. The better prepared you are, the less you'll have to rely on luck. ARIES (March 21-April 19). On the hunt for: inspiration for the new season.

Venus, if you will
In stories of old, the first thing on a journey is an omen: the first bird, the first stranger, the first words spoken. The sun enters Scorpio and conjuncts Venus, making love, beauty and pleasure the first focus. What would you ask of her? Transform my love life. Transform my relationship with money. Venus, if you will... ARIES (March 21-April 19). The tendency to overthink the minutiae of relationships comes from a desire to love the other person while still protecting yourself.
Holiday Mathis horoscopes for Oct. 22, 2026: Scorpio - it’s time to start a fresh page
Advice Published: Oct. 22, 2026, 7:01 a.m. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY The last day of Libra recalls a line from “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson: “Though much is taken, much abides.” Every transformation requires a tribute, something we cannot take forward. The Pisces moon favors a lighter vessel for the crossing. What can we leave on Libra’s silver shore? An old grievance, a borrowed belief, a role we’ve finished playing? The tide is coming in. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Let go of keeping score.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY BY HOLIDAY MATHIS FOR RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2026 The Bad Wig The Scorpio sun squares Jupiter in Leo, an aspect that draws attention to the very thing it’s trying to hide. It’s the wig of improbable density that announces, “Not my hair.” It’s the person explaining endlessly why they don’t care what anybody thinks. It’s the elaborate excuse that raises questions nobody was asking. How good are you at spotting the tell?

Advice Published: Oct. 21, 2026, 7:01 a.m. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY On this day in 1772, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born, one of the major poets of English Romanticism.

You'll have a marvelous instinct for where opportunity is hiding and a clever instinct for when to make your move. Aries (March 21-April 19) "The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew." When conditions favor you, use them. You have spent enough time rowing. Something becomes easier today, and your job is to recognize the advantage of that. Taurus (April 20-May 20) "As idle as a painted ship/ Upon a painted ocean." Waiting can become its own strange occupation. If nothing is moving, move first.

Libra's Closing Arguments, by Holiday Mathis
Pluto has just turned direct, and the case is ready to proceed. Then Mercury goes retrograde and walks in carrying another box of evidence. What comes to light will make the eventual verdict sweeter. Certainty is overrated and maybe even a little dangerous in these final days of Libra season. Those who think they already know close the doors to further knowledge. Be slow to reach a conclusion. Gems of truth illuminate open minds. ARIES (March 21-April 19).
