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 Sagittarius all day.
- The Moon is waxing; the next Full Moon is October 26.
- The Sun and Jupiter are closing in on a sextile (60°), exact on October 15.
- Mars and Saturn are closing in on a trine (120°), exact on October 16.
- 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
A long-range plan looks clearer this evening when you weigh it against what you can actually carry.
With the Moon in Sagittarius all day, your 9th house of travel and study gets the attention. At 5:44 p.m. ET it works smoothly with Saturn in Aries, your sign. Saturn is retrograde until December 10, and it favors a second, sober look at anything big. If you're thinking about a course or a trip, check what it would really take: the hours, the cost, the dates.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
A small gesture can do more for trust today than a long talk.
Since last night the Moon has been in Sagittarius, your 8th house of close bonds. Attention turns from other people to what you share with them and how far you trust them. Where trust with someone needs mending, make the first move. The Moon there favors honesty over keeping score. Let go of something calmly this evening, maybe a grudge that has overstayed its welcome.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Your own needs and someone else's may not line up today.
At 7:18 a.m. ET the Moon in Sagittarius, the sign of your partnerships, stands opposite Uranus, the planet of independence, in Gemini. With Uranus in your sign, your wish to do things your way runs strong, so room on both sides helps. If someone pushes for a quick answer on a plan you share, offer two options and let them pick.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
The day goes better with a little slack in it.
Is your day booked solid? Leave a gap somewhere today, even a short one, for whatever comes up, and protect it. Your ruler, the Moon, is in Sagittarius, your house of routine, and at 7:18 a.m. ET it faces Uranus across the sky in your 12th house of hidden things, so something behind the scenes may shake up the plan a little.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Do something today just because it lights you up.
The Moon is in Sagittarius, your 5th house of play, and enthusiasm runs high for the whole day. At 3:51 p.m. ET it finds an easy rhythm with Mars, in Leo with you, which gives you the push to follow through. Start a creative or playful plan after lunch, maybe one that's been waiting, and keep going while you're in the mood.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
You'll get more done today with nobody watching.
The Moon spends the whole day in Sagittarius, your house of home. At 3:51 p.m. ET it pairs well with Mars, which sits in your 12th house of solitude. You have the drive, but it works best in private. If something at home needs fixing, like a loose hinge or a sticky drawer, do it on your own and at your own speed.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Saying plainly what you will and won't do goes over well this evening.
Conversation is where the Moon spends the day, in Sagittarius, and at 5:44 p.m. ET it settles into an easy angle with Saturn in Aries, opposite you, in your 7th house of agreements. Saturn likes commitments that are clear and kept, so spell out who does what, and by when. Confirm any open agreement today in a short, clear message.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
What you put in and what you think you're worth line up today.
The Moon in Sagittarius, in your house of security, falls into a good rhythm with Mars, your traditional ruler, at 3:51 p.m. ET. Mars sits in Leo, where your reputation is made, so steady work tends to build your confidence today. If you tend to undervalue your own effort, say one thing you did well this week out loud, to yourself or to someone else.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
You're back in your element today, so let the day move at your speed.
The Moon arrived in Sagittarius last night and spends the whole day in your sign. After the Moon's stretch in the sign before yours, you're more visible and more like yourself, and in the mood to get moving. Your pace may be quicker than other people's today, so let them catch up. Start with a walk, or a different route to wherever you're headed.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
A calm evening and an early night would do you good.
It's a quiet day: the Moon spends it in Sagittarius, the sign of rest for you. Saturn, your ruler, in the home part of your chart, gets an easy connection from the Moon at 5:44 p.m. ET, so rest and a few small chores sit well together tonight: the dishes, then the couch. Your mind may want to plan ahead, but the evening has other ideas. Let tomorrow's list wait until morning.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Friends and groups come to the front today, and your ideas have a place there.
Uranus, your modern ruler, is in Gemini, your 5th house of fun and side projects. At 7:18 a.m. ET it stands across the sky from the Moon in Sagittarius. The Moon is in your 11th house of friends, so what you'd enjoy alone may tug against a group's plan. Both can fit in one day. Bring one idea of your own to the group.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
What you care about can steer the day's practical choices.
All day the Moon is in Sagittarius, your 10th house of public life. At 1:55 a.m. ET it made an easy link with Neptune, your modern ruler, in your house of what's yours, so your values can help with a choice about work or duty. Between two tasks, start with the one that matters most to you, not the one making the most noise.
