Summary:
While the Taurus Moon generally brings steadier, calmer energy into our lives, Taurus’s ruler, Venus, is challenged tonight (and early tomorrow), suggesting a strong need or desire for comfort and stability, but difficulty achieving either. Even so, there is good energy for expressing ourselves confidently, humorously, and charmingly to people we are fond of. We give people the benefit of the doubt. Getting truly, deeply intimately close, however, is unlikely today.
- The Moon is in Taurus all day.
- The Moon is void from 8:48 PM EDT.
- The Moon is waning.
- 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.
Horoscopes
Aries
Mercury’s position in your chart until November 8th brings a lot of thought about, and much conversation in, your relationships. However, Mercury is retrograde until October 25th, and this can mean some backtracking over past conversations with a partner and past relationship issues. Thoughts about an ex-partnership or past matters in a current relationship can figure strongly. It’s a great time to think about new ways to improve your communications skills. There can be some nice gestures between you and someone special today, making you feel quite positive about the future, and also boosting your charisma, although some relationship tension is building. Daily Horoscope page for Aries here.
Taurus
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can have you backtracking over work projects, editing, redoing, and correcting flaws. Special care should be taken with your work and with co-workers in order to prevent misunderstandings. You might also research work projects and positions, as well as health and wellness programs, during this time with great success. Today, a home improvement project can be favorable, or a stronger bond with family can take place. Relationships benefit from a generous spirit and open mind. Even so, insecurities or self-doubt can be an issue later today. Daily Horoscope page for Taurus here.
Gemini
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can necessitate going over past conversations or reworking creative projects. A romance might come up for review, and can certainly benefit from more thought during this cycle. This is not about over-thinking things, but about taking the time to sort out your feelings. This may very well be a pause that refreshes. Today, openness and positivity can boost relationships, and your mood. You’re more inclined to express your creativity and affection. Tonight, insecurities are more likely to come to the surface, however. Daily Horoscope page for Gemini here.
Cancer
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can stimulate the need to review recent events or to redo projects around the home. It’s also a good time for nostalgic thoughts, review of family events, reorganizing areas of your home, and researching home improvements or real estate. Today is good for thinking big and creatively about money, home, family, and business. Later today, there can be greater sensitivity to any feeling of being caged in, and this calls for more mindfulness in conversations. Daily Horoscope page for Cancer here.
Leo
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can stimulate the need to make changes to the ways in which you communicate and get from point A to point B. Be clearer than usual in your writing and conversations. Be extra careful with your work. Back up data and handle mechanical maintenance before they turn into complicated repairs. Today, there is much generosity in your manner. Relationships with acquaintances or classmates can grow as you give more freely of yourself. It’s a good time to establish trust, although tonight, we can all be a little cagey and protective of our personal freedom. Daily Horoscope page for Leo here.
Virgo
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can point to the need to go over financial affairs and business deals, or possibly complications in these matters. It’s not the best time for new financial initiatives, but it’s great for budgeting and researching money-making ideas/ventures. Today, you can really benefit from slowing down so that your intuition is more accessible. Your powers of touch and personal presence/calm can be great now and can help you to smooth over problem areas. You also have a stronger desire to pamper yourself! Tonight, there can be some building tension, however, in close relationships, or worry about money. Daily Horoscope page for Virgo here.
Libra
Mercury’s retrograde in your sign until October 25th can stimulate some level of introspection. It may be a little more challenging to get your message across. You could be reviewing health, body, and personal image matters, and this can be a very beneficial process, but in the meantime, you could have frequent moments of emotional distance and hesitation. Today, circulate and follow up on connections made, as there can be an openness and generosity to interactions right now that can be inspiring. Think in bigger, broader ways than usual. Tonight, you may be feeling out of sync, bothered by little problems, and vaguely out of sorts. Daily Horoscope page for Libra here.
Scorpio
Mercury, the planet of communication, leaves your sign today as it dips back into Libra and your privacy sector. This transit continues until November 8th and points to some introspection or hesitancy in sharing your plans. Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde here can prompt some form of retreat or withdrawal on a mental level. It could be a little more challenging to get your message across, or you may be going over recent decisions. Today, practical matters can come together nicely. It’s a time when generosity and an open hand tend to win you favor and positive feedback. Daily Horoscope page for Scorpio here.
Sagittarius
Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can point to a time of retracing your steps when it comes to recent ideas and goals you’ve formulated, or concerning a friendship. Some of you might reconnect with past groups or friends during this cycle. Today, you are especially at ease and comfortable with the people around you, whether you know them or you don’t! Opportunities for mind-expanding activities can emerge now. Tonight, however, there can be some pronounced insecure or protective behavior in a friend or family member to deal with. Daily Horoscope page for Sagittarius here.
Capricorn
Mercury’s position in your chart until November 8th can point to more intellectual focus on professional matters, life-plan goals, and reputation matters. You are a little more guarded when it comes to sharing your opinions and ideas. Until October 25th, even more clarity is required of you due to Mercury’s retrograde here. Reworking plans and projects might figure strongly. Today, you can be taking the lead, and quite successfully. You may be warmed and flattered with a friend opening up to you. There could be support coming from a hidden or unusual source. Daily Horoscope page for Capricorn here.
Aquarius
Mercury’s position in your chart until November 8th can find you frequently thinking and communicating about moral or philosophical issues. You are less interested in mundane, routine matters and details, preferring to focus on the bigger picture. Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can point to some complications with legal, educational, promotional, or travel matters. Today, generosity is the major key to success in your personal life. A new, shared experience or activity can boost a relationship. Daily Horoscope page for Aquarius here.
Pisces
Until November 8th, your perceptive abilities are enhanced. Conversations may be heavier or more intense than usual. You might find yourself questioning and second-guessing everything you hear and possibly even being suspicious. Until October 25th, Mercury’s retrograde can point to some complications experienced with intimate conversations or finances. Review and reflect on how you can improve these things. Today is good for research and uncovering helpful information, but tonight, keep things light and polite.
