Horoscopes
Aries
This is another day for deeper thought or experiences, dear Aries. Tomorrow, Mars moves into opposition with your sign, and partnerships are particularly animated. In fact, you have a lot of planetary attention in the western hemisphere of your solar chart right now, making this an especially other-oriented, receptive time of the year — far more so than a self-motivated one. This means you tend to achieve your goals more readily through your interactions and relationships. The first half of today is excellent for nurturing your relationships with a partner, lover, or child, and possibly a creative work, as well. A bit of extra loving attention works wonders now. Later today, part of you wants to keep things simple and not overthink matters, while the rest of you is skeptical and favors digging more deeply!
Taurus
You’re in fabulous shape for earning some warm attention today, dear Taurus, particularly with family, co-workers, or people you spend time with pursuing your daily routines. You’re giving a little extra thought and adding special touches to domestic matters, and it seems to receive sweet payback or simply boosts your confidence now. The Moon spends another day in your partnership sector, increasing your desire for companionship. Even so, later today, you don’t see eye to eye on a matter with someone in your life, and this can cause some tension until you decide to agree to disagree, or, better yet, learn from your differences. In all likelihood, the disagreement is a superficial one, and core values remain in harmony.
Gemini
With the Moon in your sector of work and habits again today, Gemini, you’ll do best for yourself if you take care of the routine elements of your life first and foremost. You seem to need to feel on top of the details in order to feel free and confident in other life departments! The tendency to nitpick is certainly with you today, but it’s doing battle with another part of you that just wants to let go of a problem and return to it taking a more holistic approach. You may need to reach a compromise now. There is divine energy in the first half of the day, however, for putting extra care into your communications and gaining warm responses or attention for doing so. Personal appeal is high, and you’re standing out for your unique style of expression.
Cancer
Taking special care of your personal possessions, valuables, money, or business can be satisfying today, Cancer, and you’ll feel particularly appreciated by family or more content and comfortable with yourself as a result. Even if results aren’t immediate, you’ll feel good about your efforts, and this gives you a special glow now! The weeks ahead are powerful for taking charge of your home life and making things work. The Moon spends another day in your sector of fun, love, and hobbies, and you’re likely to seek out new channels for enjoying and expressing yourself. They’re a little easier to find today.
Leo
Especially through your words and gestures, you are in a great position to bring harmony to difficult situations right now, dear Leo, and you find it easy and natural to promote a happier, more positive, and growth-oriented atmosphere around you. You’re simply not in the mood for unnecessary discord. Your communications and creations tend to inspire others to cooperate now. The Moon spends another day in your home and family sector, encouraging you to settle in and get comfortable. With Mercury in the same sector, you’re inclined to do a lot of thinking about your family or home life and goals in these areas, and later today, you may find ways to connect your innermost dreams with your highest visions.
Virgo
The day holds special promise when it comes to taking care of family and money, dear Virgo. It’s also good for communicating, although as the day advances, you may feel quite divided and indecisive about a social matter. The tendency is to see-saw between over-analyzing a person’s feelings or a relationship itself to letting go and allowing things to flow as they like. Ideally, you either pick a side or find a balance, as remaining in a state of limbo is frustrating if it goes on too long. You’ll benefit from putting extra attention and care into dealing with a long-standing problem, particularly as it relates to your personal possessions or money. Getting rid of clutter can be especially satisfying as well today.
Libra
This morning is potentially excellent for the support of friends, dear Libra. Someone may be taking a real shine to you now. You can enjoy a more vital feeling through special care of a project, idea, or person in your life. You have a lot of power in the eastern hemisphere of your chart these days, and this means you are unusually self-motivated. It’s a time of year for making your own fate. You’re less inclined to check in with others before making decisions. Later today, you may not be seeing eye to eye on a matter related to finances, or decisions about money and personal possessions are more complicated than you imagined them to be, making it difficult to arrive at a plan or conclusion just for now. Swinging from an analytical to an intuitive approach may happen a few times before you get to a nice balance.
Scorpio
With the Moon in your sign again today (until tomorrow morning), it’s a good time to enjoy a powerful sense of well-being, dear Scorpio. It’s the right time of the lunar month to pay some healthy attention to your personal plans and emotional needs. The first half of the day is also excellent for pouring some special attention and care into your work, duties, or a business matter. You’ll find it easy to draw on past work, experience, and wisdom and make it relevant to the present. Later today, you may have a hard time getting on the same page as someone about an idea or plan, however. You’re in a frame of mind that’s self-motivated and detailed, and you could feel that others are not paying attention to the right details.
Sagittarius
Romantic imagination rules the day, dear Sagittarius, and you’re inclined to let your heart lead the way. Even so, you are in a retiring, restful frame of mind such that your adventures may very well remain internal or mental ones. It’s a good time for letting your mind wander and stretch. The first half of the day, however, is powerful for making connections with others or even with the right information. You find it easy and natural to pour extra thought, energy, and care into your ideas, studies, or writing and conversations now, and this gains you some warm attention. Later today, decisions don’t come as quickly. You may feel divided about a health or work matter. Whether or not to pick it apart or take a step back from it and let it reveal itself to you intuitively can be a question now.
Capricorn
You’re in a good place these days for improving your reputation or getting along well on the career front, dear Capricorn, and today is useful for gaining extra support for your goals or recognition for your efforts. Part of this is the result of more clarity in your private life as you are in better touch with your needs. Nurturing your private affairs and giving more attention to your more profound emotions and desires can boost you all around now. In fact, you’re glowing! Even so, today is also a good time for making light, easygoing connections. Later today, however, watch for a disagreement on an opinion that may have more to do with perceptions of opposition, as you may be more on the same page than you think.
Aquarius
The Moon spends another day at the top of your solar chart, Aquarius, and you’re more invested than usual in your responsibilities, goals, and perhaps even your image, even though the latter is not usually the case. You can be feeling especially inspired and renewed on an emotional level, ready to make some plans or put a sizable dent in your to-do list. You want to feel that you’re going places right now. Stay connected to a sense of prosperity as you recognize you’re capable of pushing yourself just a little more without losing something important in the process. This is also a good time for feeling the support of others, particularly as you’re willing to give someone special attention and nurture.
Pisces
Even if you’re stuck in your routine today, your mind is somewhere else, Pisces, thinking about ways to move your life forward or dreaming up ideas to advance your plans. This is a time for considering your broader goals and less about what you need on a practical level to achieve them. The details, as much as you’d like to see them clearly, may feel overwhelming or don’t seem to be coming together just yet. Even if you don’t feel others are supporting your visions at the moment, you manage to find inspiration elsewhere. This is also a day for pouring a little more energy into your work and feeling more accomplished as a result, or for some, paying particular attention to your health, nutrition, and self-care can give you a boost.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 21st:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
