There could be a lot of conflict as situations come to a head in an altogether unpredictable way.
But don’t worry, your horoscope can help guide you through this hot-headed time.
Gemini, it might feel hard to move forward right now (for obvious reasons). Take things slow – you’ll weather the storm.
Feeling misunderstood Leo? Not everyone can handle your fire. It might be time to cull the friendships that aren’t working…
Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for October 30, 2022.
Read on for your full forecast.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Feel you are duty-bound to hold your tongue regarding a key issue? As feisty Mars rewinds, you may realise how much it’s costing you in terms of your sense of justice being done.
Talking this over with those involved might be contentious and awkward, but can clear the air.
You could also find that decluttering the office space and clearing paper piles brings a real sense of relief.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
It can pay to take extra care where money matters are concerned, Taurus.
As assertive Mars goes into reverse in Gemini for some weeks, giving more thought to your income and outgoings could set you up for better financial times ahead.
It’s fine to continue with steady long-term plans, but avoid spur of the moment purchases or dubious schemes that might get you into trouble later.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As Mars enters its rewind phase in your sign until early next year, it could be more difficult to take the initiative or to follow through on your goals.
Don’t be afraid to pause, and perhaps step back. If your heart isn’t in something, you can struggle to keep going anyway.
While you might prefer to race ahead, this isn’t going to happen now. Slow and steady is the way, Gemini.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The coming months can bring dissatisfaction with a group situation, or with aspects of your social life.
Does it seem that despite your lively personality, no-one understands you? Being more accepting of yourself and others, could smooth the way ahead.
With Mars regressing in Gemini for around ten weeks, you may delight in jettisoning contacts that don’t do anything for you.

Domestic plans may be put on hold for a while, as Mars in its retro phase suggests things might not be going as planned.
