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 Aquarius all day.
- The Moon is waxing; the next Full Moon is October 26.
- Venus and Pluto are closing in on a square (90°), exact on October 20.
- Retrograde: Venus (until November 13), Saturn (until December 10), Uranus (until February 8, 2027), and Neptune (until December 12).
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 group plan is more fun when part of it is yours.
Time with other people has extra pull now, with the Moon in Aquarius, in your 11th house of friends. Your ruler, Mars, is in Leo, in your 5th house of fun, and tonight at 10:24 p.m. ET the Moon lands directly opposite it. The group's plan may not be the one you'd pick for yourself. If it leaves you cold, pitch the one thing you'd rather do and see who's in.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Your commitments and someone else's wishes may take some juggling.
Early this morning, at 4:51 a.m. ET, the Moon ran up against your ruler, Venus. With the Moon in your 10th house of public life and Venus in Scorpio, in your 7th house of one-on-one relationships, what the world expects of you may not sit easily with what someone close to you wants. Friction like that tends to stay small when you bring it up early. List the week's commitments on paper and look for the spot where one crowds out another.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Let your curiosity set the pace for a while.
Your thoughts may roam well past their usual territory. All day the Moon is in Aquarius, in your 9th house of learning, and at 7:51 a.m. ET it falls into step with Uranus in Gemini, in your 1st house of self-image. A subject you've never looked into can grab you, and so can a fresh way of seeing yourself. Spend twenty minutes reading up on something you know nothing about.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Clearing out one small thing may feel better than you'd think.
Strong feelings and a level head can work together today, especially when you're deciding what to keep. Before dawn the Moon, which rules your sign, joined Pluto in Aquarius, in your 8th house of letting go. Something you've kept only out of habit may finally be ready to go. Give it away or toss it, and don't overthink the choice. A mug you never reach for counts.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
You can hear someone out and still speak for yourself.
Someone else's point of view may take up more room than usual. The Moon is in Aquarius, in your 7th house of one-on-one relationships, while Mars in your own sign keeps your drive in the mix. At 10:24 p.m. ET the two line up opposite each other, so the evening may feel like a tug-of-war between listening and speaking up. You can make room for both.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Monday is a fine day to rethink a habit.
The Moon is in Aquarius, in your 6th house of daily routines, and the way you usually do things is open to some tinkering. No big overhaul is needed. A small change to one ordinary chore can be enough to make the whole week feel fresher. Try doing its steps in a different order, and see whether it goes faster or just feels better.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Go for the kind of fun that fits what matters to you.
The Moon in Aquarius, in your 5th house of fun, puts you in the mood to play. In the early hours, it clashed with your ruler, Venus in Scorpio, in your 2nd house of what you value, so the easiest option may not feel worth it. A pastime that also means something to you is usually the better pick. Give an hour to a hobby you've set aside, using whatever's already on hand.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Privacy and a sense of belonging both pull at you.
Pluto, which modern astrology links to your sign, met the Moon in Aquarius overnight, at 3:49 a.m. ET. Your feelings may run deep, and while the Moon sits in your 4th house of roots, they tend to circle back to the places and people where you feel you belong. A space that's yours alone can mean a lot right now, even if it's only a chair by the window with the door shut.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Short conversations and quick errands move along nicely.
With the Moon in Aquarius, in your 3rd house of getting around, the day moves at a brisk, chatty pace. A little back-and-forth gets things done, and it's easy to squeeze in a few errands close to home. Your attention may hop from topic to topic, and today short bursts of focus work fine. If a message has been sitting unanswered, reply in two or three lines and hit send.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Be choosy about where your time goes.
Since leaving your sign last night, the Moon has been in Aquarius, in your 2nd house of security. The focus tends to shift from you to what keeps you on solid ground, and to what your time is really worth. A plan that eats an evening and gives little back may be easier to spot now. Before you say yes to anything new, ask whether it deserves the hours it would take.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Doing things your own way comes easily.
You may feel more like yourself now that the Moon is in Aquarius, in your 1st house of how you come across. The Moon also gets along well with Uranus in Gemini, in your 5th house of fun, so there's a playful streak in how you go about things. People may catch a more relaxed side of you. Try a route you've never taken, just to see where it leads.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Keep Monday slow and quiet wherever you can.
A quieter, more inward mood may settle in, with the Moon in Aquarius, in your 12th house of rest. Busy places and long to-do lists can wear on you sooner than usual. Unhurried time works better, alone or with one or two people who don't need you to fill the silence. Even on a packed day, a slow lunch or a few minutes without your phone can be all it takes to reset.
