Horoscopes
Aries

This can be a strong day for all things related to career and work, dear Aries, as well as reputation or public relations. Someone may speak highly of you or recommend your work. You could be feeling especially “in tune” with your goals and quite confident about moving forward with new or improved ventures. This can also be a time for coming up with creative business ideas. Generally speaking, it’s a strong day for making business moves or decisions. A feeling of being on top of things is the best place to be, so avoid taking on too much, but think big if your mind is going that way.
Taurus

Easy energy is with you for connecting today, dear Taurus, as well as for gaining new and interesting experiences and for appreciation of people in your life. Loving or romantic feelings are elevated and possibly become a driving force now, and there is more cooperation, or at least less resistance, from others. You can find it easy to slip into a playful or serious frame of mind without much effort, and this boosts both work and social life. Solving a problem or seeing a problem in a whole new light related to work or health can give you a boost. You are radiating a nice amount of confidence.
Gemini

Your love feelings tend to run more deeply than usual now, dear Gemini. There can be a magical quality to intimacy today. It’s a good time for one-to-one interactions, and if a bond could use some healing or elevation, it’s a good time to make this happen. You can get the backing you need, and intuition regarding relationships is powerful. You may be feeling that with some effort and direction, you can succeed at pretty much anything you set out to do. Listen to what family members have to say now – advice tends to be wise. Strengthening ties with loved ones can help you across the board, as it can fill you with confidence.
Cancer

People tend to respond especially well to you today, dear Cancer. You are attracting appealing people, or positive and loving experiences with a person, into your life. This is a time when you are especially gracious and others appreciate your input. Today’s energies are good for coming to agreements. It’s a fine time to reach out if you are looking for different perspectives or advice, as well as for sealing a deal in a communications or learning endeavor. You continue to feel real excitement for recent and upcoming projects or new interests, and people around you are more receptive to your ideas.
Leo

Others are more obliging than usual with you today, dear Leo. Work efforts fare best if there is some creativity and imagination in the mix. Intuition for business, money, work, research, discrepancies, analysis, and health matters is very strong today. In fact, you can feel especially motivated to get going on an important project or to share some of your work with others. It’s a good day to make changes in self-care programs, to resolve to quit a bad habit, or to reorganize your environment in ways that improve your productivity.
Virgo

This is a wonderful day for personal appeal and natural charm, dear Virgo, with the Moon in your creative and romantic solar fifth house harmonizing with Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in your sign. It’s a great time for attracting and pursuing what you want – you are a magnet right now, but you’re also willing to put the effort towards making things happen. You’re in a pleasingly sociable and creative mood, and could find yourself naturally gravitating towards positive situations and people, perhaps finding yourself exactly where you need to be at the right time. It’s a good time to apply yourself to a long-term project and for motivation levels in general.
Libra

You can be especially interested in bringing more harmony to your home life, both on emotional and aesthetic levels. There is warmth in your approach to others, although you tend to fare better behind the scenes on some level at the moment. Building your nest and tending to your innermost or spiritual needs comes naturally now, and this is exactly what you need now. You could be coming off in pleasingly mysterious ways to others. Even so, there is strong energy for solving problems in the practical or intellectual worlds that you may want to take advantage of. Look for opportunities to express your talents or knowledge.
Scorpio

Today there is a little more emphasis on the sharing of daily events – the little things – with a loved one or with friends, dear Scorpio. It doesn’t take much effort to keep exchanges lively and spirited. You are bringing a large amount of appeal and charm to your communications. You might come to a satisfying agreement with someone or you simply enjoy the ability to kick back and be yourself without explanation. Love and attraction are strong notes in your life, but friendship seems to be your biggest priority and what’s bringing in the most rewards right now.
Sagittarius

This is a day for turning your attention to those things that make you feel most comfortable, dear Sagittarius, and taking special care of them. Establish your needs and wants, and explore ways to satisfy them now. Your ruler, Jupiter, once again aligns with Mars, this time in declination, and this serves to boost energy levels as well as personal courage, passion, and desire. The day is likely to be busy and productive, and you tend to be in comfortable demand. There can be progress made on the career or life-path front, which is especially satisfying to you right now, as you have a strong sense for the long view.
Capricorn

This can be a day in which your charm is enhanced, dear Capricorn, and the very qualities that you exude naturally are more appreciated and rewarded. The Moon is in your sign all day and generally well-supported by other bodies, and you are more in touch with the gentler, more emotional and receptive side of your nature. You are especially interesting to others, and your ability to flow along with your environment helps with natural timing. Your sense for what projects and moves have true potential is on point now.
Aquarius

There can be a real feeling of support today, dear Aquarius, and you might come to an understanding with someone or about a matter from the past. It’s also a good day for intuition on business and financial matters. The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, emphasizing the need for some level of emotional retreat. You are seeing all angles to a story now, or more layers to an issue, and the chance of gaining peace of mind is strong. Someone may communicate romantic interest in a subtle manner today. You are feeling hopeful and optimistic.
Pisces

Supportive energy for relationships is with you today, dear Pisces, as well as the chance to bring a stronger spirit of acceptance to your interactions. Friends are drawn to you and you come across in a pleasingly attractive manner, making it a good time to make connections and present yourself and your ideas. This is a pleasing day for love, friendship, and business matters, and a partner is showing sincere interest and concern for your needs. For best results, stay active and involved. Things seem to be better in teams or pairs for you these days.

VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic.
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.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 19th:
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 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 life time).
