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 Libra until 11:21 a.m., then moves into Scorpio.
- The Moon is waxing; the next Full Moon is October 26.
- 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.
Aries
Mar 21–Apr 19
Small talk wears thin today, so go for the conversation that matters.
At 11:21 a.m. ET the Moon goes into Scorpio, the part of your chart for trust and shared money. Things between you and other people may get more serious, in a good way. Fewer words and more honest ones work better after that. Ask the question that's been sitting between you and someone, plainly and without a long lead-in, then give them time to answer.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Today is about the people you deal with one-on-one, and a clear answer helps everyone.
From 11:21 a.m. ET the Moon is in Scorpio, the sign opposite yours, and other people's needs take up more room. At 5:08 p.m. ET it clashes with Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto sits in your 10th house of public commitments, so what someone wants from you may press against promises made elsewhere. If someone asks for your time tonight, give a real answer, not a halfway one.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Play gives way to the practical as the day goes on.
Your 6th house of daily tasks takes over after the Moon passes into Scorpio, and the mood shifts from fun to sorting things out. Schedules and chores look more manageable in the second half of the day, and the coming week is easier to plan once you can see it. Before you go to sleep, pick tomorrow's three main tasks and leave everything else for later.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Pleasure gets the upper hand over chores today, and you're allowed to let it.
Feelings run a little stronger once the Moon moves into Scorpio at 11:21 a.m. ET. It leaves your house of home for your 5th house of pleasure, and duty can step aside for the rest of the day. Spend the evening on something you love doing and almost never get to: music, maybe, or cooking a slow meal for no one but yourself.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Claim a quiet night in now, before anyone makes plans for you.
Errands and messages lose their grip once the Moon slips into Scorpio, your 4th house of home. The pull is toward privacy and a slower pace for the rest of the day. At 5:08 p.m. ET the Moon clashes with Pluto in Aquarius, the sign opposite yours, and what you need for yourself and what someone else expects may pull in different directions.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Plain words work well today, so say what you mean and keep it short.
If a reply has been waiting, send it today. The Moon moves into Scorpio, your 3rd house of conversation, at 11:21 a.m. ET, and words tend to come out more directly from then on. Questions you ask today tend to get straight answers. Mercury, your ruler, is in Scorpio as well, so talk and thought point the same way.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Notice what makes you feel steady, and take care of it.
After yesterday's New Moon in your sign, the day turns practical. The Moon heads into Scorpio, your 2nd house of what you own, and the focus moves from you to your things. Feeling steady often starts with small fixes, like sewing on a missing button or pumping up a low bike tire. Pick whichever is closest to hand and do it today.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
You're more visible today, and it's fine to take up a little more room.
The Moon arrives in your sign before noon, and people tend to notice you more from then on. Feelings run deeper than usual with the Moon in your sign. At 5:08 p.m. ET it meets friction from Pluto, your modern ruler, in your 4th house of home, and things at home may ask more of you than you want to give. Give one job at home a little time this evening, then stop.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Rest counts as a plan today, even if nobody else sees it that way.
Company may start to feel like work today. Groups and group chats can wait until tomorrow; the Moon leaves them behind before noon. Once the Moon is in Scorpio, your 12th house of solitude, slowing down makes more sense than keeping up. Even a short walk alone can reset the day. A quiet night in beats a packed one, so move whatever isn't essential to another day.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Friends move ahead of duty today.
If a friend has been on your mind, call instead of texting. A voice carries things a message can't, especially with someone you haven't heard from in a while. The Moon enters Scorpio, your 11th house of friends, at 11:21 a.m. ET. Until then it's in your house of public life; after that, the hours belong to people you choose.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Other people's expectations get louder today, so know your own limits first.
Decide before the evening what you will and won't take on this week. Your public role and the way people see you get more attention once the Moon enters Scorpio, your 10th house of public life. At 5:08 p.m. ET it pushes against Pluto in Aquarius, your sign, and outside demands may lean on your sense of who you are.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Think about where you're heading, and leave the details for later.
Once the Moon moves into Scorpio, your 9th house of beliefs and study, at 11:21 a.m. ET, the rest of the day is better for reading and slow thinking than for errands. It leaves matters of shared money and trust behind, and your attention can turn to your own direction. A long walk, or a talk with someone who sees things differently, can help more than a list of pros and cons.
