Each day's horoscope is for your Sun sign, the sign you were born under. Your full chart, with your Moon and Ascendant, goes much further.
Sign dates are approximate, since the Sun changes signs on a slightly different day each year. If you were born on the cusp, your free chart shows which sign is yours.
The sky on this day
- The Moon is in Virgo until 4:10 a.m., then moves into Libra.
- The Moon is waning; the New Moon is tomorrow, October 10.
- Venus and Mars are closing in on a square (90°), exact on October 10.
- Retrograde: Venus (until November 13), Saturn (until December 10), Uranus (until February 8, 2027), Neptune (until December 12), and Pluto (until October 15).
All times are Eastern (ET). Retrograde: seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backward through the sky, for weeks or months. The degrees in parentheses are the angle between two planets.
Aries
Mar 21–Apr 19
Other people's plans start to matter more than your own list today.
The Moon has been in Libra, your 7th house of partnerships, since 4:10 a.m. ET. Your own tasks give way to the people you deal with one-on-one. At 4:25 p.m. ET the Moon lines up with Mars, your ruler, in Leo, and the rest of the day leans toward company and fun. Turn a vague plan with someone into a day and a place.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Finish things today rather than starting them.
Only a thin sliver of the Moon is left, 1% lit, with the New Moon due tomorrow. It crossed into Libra at 4:10 a.m. ET, and with the Moon in your 6th house of daily routine, the small jobs that keep a week running ask for attention. If a form or a repair has been sitting on your list for weeks, close it out before the day ends.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Things feel lighter today, and a spur-of-the-moment idea could turn out to be the best one.
With the Moon in Libra since 4:10 a.m. ET, your 5th house of play takes over the day, and duty loosens its grip a little. A change of plan made just for fun may work better than the original. That gets a push at 1:51 p.m. ET, when the Moon makes an easy link with Uranus, which is in Gemini with you.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Home has a strong pull today, and settling in beats running around.
The Moon moved from Virgo, your house of errands and messages, to Libra at 4:10 a.m. ET. Now the Moon is in your 4th house of home and roots, so staying in makes sense if your plans allow it, and so does doing less. Straighten up the corner at home that bugs you most, and then stop. One shelf is plenty.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Say what you mean today.
Send the note you've been meaning to write. Early in the day the Moon slipped into Libra, your 3rd house of conversation, and calls and quick messages tend to go faster than usual. At 4:25 p.m. ET it connects smoothly with Mars, in Leo with you, and there's drive left over to follow up on whatever you start.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Sort your things today, and your priorities along with them.
Since 4:10 a.m. ET the Moon has been in Libra, your 2nd house of what you value, after its stay in your sign. Attention slides from how you're doing to what you have and what it's for. Clear a closet or a drawer, and ask which of your priorities still earn their place. Give away or put away something you no longer use.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
The spotlight swings back to you today, and your own needs belong on the list.
The Moon arrived in your sign at 4:10 a.m. ET, and you may feel more like yourself as the day goes on. People tend to notice you more. Your mood sets the tone in a room more than usual. Tomorrow's New Moon falls in Libra too, so treat today as the warm-up. Before other people's plans fill the day, do something on your own terms.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Groups can wait today; quiet suits you better.
Keep part of the evening free of screens and plans, on purpose. Early on, the Moon headed into Libra, your 12th house of rest, and the pull of friends and groups fades a little. At 9:44 a.m. ET it links up easily with Pluto, your modern ruler, in Aquarius, and home starts to look like a good place to hide out.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Company that asks nothing of you is the best kind today.
Send something today to a friend you've gone quiet on, or answer a group chat you've let slide. Let plans with friends, or with a group you belong to, take the place of duty for a while. Now that the Moon is in Libra, your 11th house of friends, the pull shifts away from work and toward people you enjoy for the rest of the day.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
You're more in the public eye today.
The Moon is in Libra, your 10th house of public life, for most of the day, and steady, visible work fits it better than big moves. Show what you already do well today, and do it with care. Before you start a task, get any fuzzy instructions in writing, whether they come from work or somewhere else, so nothing gets lost along the way.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Your mind wants more room than usual today.
The usual topics may feel a little narrow today. The Moon is now in Libra, your 9th house of the long view, and at 1:51 p.m. ET it lines up easily with Uranus, your modern ruler, in Gemini. Let curiosity lead, with no agenda attached. Pick a subject you know nothing about, read or watch something on it, and stay with it for a while.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Settle what's yours and what's shared today.
At 8:55 a.m. ET the Moon in Libra stands opposite Neptune, your modern ruler. Neptune sits in your 2nd house of what's yours, while the Moon moves through what you share with others, and the line between the two may blur. If a chore or a space you share has no clear owner, give it one today. Say plainly who does what.
