Summary:
While we can be quite sensitive today, we are also well-equipped to meet a challenge. It’s an excellent time to really see our fears and face them. This is the day before a Solar Eclipse, and it’s natural to let go, reflect, lay low, and imagine. The desire to clear the air is strong, but we should second-guess whether something needs to be said right now (it may be premature). The Solar Eclipse can have the effect of clearing the slate in some area of our lives.
- The Moon is in Libra all day.
- The Moon is waning, and is in its Balsamic phase.
- Mercury is retrograde, in the sign of Libra (until October 25th). Review, reflect, and revise. Consider ways to improve negotiations skills, one-on-one communications.
- A Solar Eclipse (in early Scorpio) will occur tomorrow late afternoon – another reason to hold off on major decision-making.
Horoscopes
Aries
Information coming in or something that you hear can be surprising but also confusing. You may not know what to make of it, or could be feeling uncomfortable. It’s better to keep to yourself today. A New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur tomorrow, and it’s bound to take you in a new direction. You don’t want the past completely dictating your future, so aim to focus on letting go of that which you no longer need. This eclipse cycle sends you on an inward journey, but not necessarily a solitary one.
Taurus
Time spent alone or in relative peace can be very helpful now with the Moon in its dark, Balsamic phase. If you’re feeling ill at ease, consider that you aren’t using this time wisely. Letting go, reflecting, and reviewing are appropriate activities now. You’re likely to be pulled in a new direction or towards a new, enlightened perspective in the coming days. Today, avoid criticizing as much as possible, even if you feel it to be constructive, as others are unlikely to take it very well.
Gemini
There is a general tendency right now for people to speak hastily and without sensitivity. Try not to be one of them! A New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur tomorrow and will turn your attention to work, health, and self-care matters for the coming weeks. It’s a time for breathing new life into stale routines. Today is strong, however, for personal magnetism, although it can be difficult to satisfy your desires. It’s more appropriate to lay low, reflect, revise, and intuit today.
Cancer
There can be some disagreements or disconnects as well as indecision today. You may not be able to come to a comfortable decision right now, and that’s okay. In fact, it’s better to wait, as a New Moon Solar Eclipse that occurs tomorrow is likely to change your focus. What’s begun today may not come to pass or hold weight. Tomorrow’s New Moon is especially pleasant for you, launching a cycle that brings warm, creative, and romantic energy into your life.
Leo
There can be a tendency today to speak about things that may be better off left unsaid or kept private. Alternatively it’s possible to stir up some controversy with what’s communicated. It’s important to speak with sensitivity or to avoid sensitive topics just for now. Speaking too soon on a matter may be reason for regret later. A Solar Eclipse occurring tomorrow will put the spotlight on family and home matters for you. Tie up loose ends rather than starting something new.
Virgo
You might too easily be pulled into disagreements about sharing responsibilities, imbalances of power, or money today. Resist the urge to broach sensitive topics. As well, if someone close to you is tense without apparent reason, try not to let it spoil your own mood. A New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs tomorrow and is a mostly pleasant influence for you. It occurs in your communications sector, giving you a boost. Mercury turning direct on the 25th also clears the way for making new connections and taking on new projects. The weeks ahead will bring new interests.
Libra
It’s better not to make any final, important decisions because of a Balsamic Moon today. A Solar Eclipse will occur tomorrow. It will be very helpful to review recent developments. In the coming weeks, you’ll be focusing on building and developing your resources so that a strong sense of self going into this cycle will serve you well. Today, consider ways to make improvements to your financial position and/or feelings of security. This is a time for settling in and enjoying yourself. The pipeline to your deeper feelings is wide open today, and you can be very tempted to air them, but watch that you don’t speak prematurely.
Scorpio
The Moon is Balsamic today, and this phase of the Moon turns us inward for valuable lessons. This is a time for reviewing things, reflecting, and tapping into your intuition, and not for pushing forward with new endeavors. If you need to let go of a bad attitude or habit, now is a good time to do so. It’s even more important for you to take stock because tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse is in your sign. This is also the end of a yearly solar cycle. Your attitude going into this cycle can help shape the year ahead, so do what you can to get into a good headspace. The upcoming cycle is about reshaping your image if it needs some tweaks. Today is excellent for seeing what fears may have been holding you back.
Sagittarius
It’s especially important today to think before you jump into something new as there is a real tendency towards impulsiveness and doing things that you may later regret. Take the day slowly, and consider that you may experience errors in judgment right now. Delays may happen, they can be blessings in disguise, as it’s better not to push forward at the moment. Do your best not to speak about something prematurely. A New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs tomorrow evening, bringing sudden awareness of a private matter or the need for more rest and some seclusion.
Capricorn
With a Solar Eclipse occurring tomorrow, this is a time for reflecting rather than jumping into action. Watch for speaking too prematurely right now, as you can be anxious to clear the air, but the potential for being misunderstood is strong. In fact, in the coming days and weeks, your interests are likely to change, and possibly dramatically. You are moving in a new direction with less concern about your performance and status and more interest in your personal happiness and the people around you.
Aquarius
There can be a tendency to jump to conclusions and to get worked up about others’ ideas or beliefs today. If you can rise above it, today is good for reflecting on recent events in your life and for dreaming up career and business goals. Be mindful of your reputation now. A New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur tomorrow evening and puts career and manifestation into the spotlight in your life. New beginnings are likely in the coming week, and it’s up to you to make the best of it.
Pisces
There is a tendency to live a little too much in your head today when it would serve you far better to let your intuition kick in. You might become frustrated by differences of opinion or little problems that seem to be tripping you up now. Try to rise above it. Watch for overspending and errors in judgment, particularly on a financial level. Tomorrow’s New Moon Solar Eclipse is a pleasant one for you. In fact, it will help you to rise above small problems in the coming weeks.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 22nd:
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).
