Horoscope today

Your horoscope today, Tuesday 3 November, read from the sky that is actually up there: the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo at 8.27am, a waning crescent, 32% lit.

The twelve signs on Tuesday 3 November

  • Aries 21 March to 19 April Fire

    Seven screws left over. Get your fast work done before the Moon reaches Virgo at 8.27am.

  • Taurus 20 April to 20 May Earth

    A boiler serviced before the frost. A practical sort of Tuesday, and you have been waiting for one.

  • Gemini 21 May to 20 June Air

    A story with one detail changed. When did you last check a story before passing it on?

  • Cancer 21 June to 22 July Water

    The drawer that will not close. The house may start bothering you by lunchtime: the hall table, the pile by the stairs, the cupboard you open with caution.

  • Leo 23 July to 22 August Fire

    The compliment from the quiet one. The spotlight moves off you at 8.27am, when the Moon slips out of your sign, and you may feel the draught.

  • Virgo 23 August to 22 September Earth

    Three things, then a line. With the Moon in your sign from breakfast time, you may feel the world has finally agreed with you about tidiness.

  • Libra 23 September to 22 October Air

    Still in its bag, tags on. Receipts matter today, in every sense.

  • Scorpio 23 October to 21 November Water

    An exam no one knows about. Everyone else is busy with the small print, which leaves you unobserved for a few hours.

  • Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December Fire

    And then somehow, in three columns. Today wants dates, totals and who is paying, and you would prefer a horizon.

  • Capricorn 22 December to 19 January Earth

    You are allowed to say Thursday. Capable people get noticed on a day like this, which means you may be handed more.

  • Aquarius 20 January to 18 February Air

    Every good idea needs a rota. Your principles are having an admin day.

  • Pisces 19 February to 20 March Water

    A kind no and a dim light. Only six days from new, the Moon is thin now, and you may feel about as bright.

Your daily horoscope, from the real sky

Each reading starts from that day’s actual sky: the sign the Moon is passing through, its phase, which planets are retrograde, when the Sun changes sign. The twelve signs share the same day and take it twelve different ways, which is the only interesting thing about a zodiac.

There is no sign-up, no lucky number and no reading of your palm. What you get is a daily horoscope for each star sign, tomorrow’s as well, a look at the week ahead, and a portrait of each sign for when you want to know who you are dealing with.
