Summary:
We may be craving personal time and nurturing, but it’s not especially easy to find today, although applying ourselves to work and practical tasks can be somewhat fulfilling. When it comes to love and money, our judgment is temporarily faulty this evening – we tend to exaggerate the value of things and people, either positively or negatively, and have difficulty seeing reality. Even so, this is an important few days for ideas and insights.
- The Moon is in Cancer all day.
- The Moon is void from 7:26 PM EDT forward (until tomorrow, the 16th, at 6:30 AM EDT).
- The Moon is waning, and is in its Last Quarter from 3:12 PM EDT.
- 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
The next few days are strong for seeing relationships in a new way, especially past relationships. Today is transitional, however, as you can be in need of personal time which can be difficult to find. As well, there is some difficulty seeing a person in the right light. This can in fact be a catalyst for the insights you’re on the brink of experiencing. Even so, love can be sweet and sacrificing now. There is some air of mystery around the object of your affections, or there can be a sense that someone is just a little out of reach, and this increases their appeal. Good energy is with you for home life and getting rid of excesses or clutter.
Taurus
Your appeal is very strong today, but you should be careful not to lead someone on, as the tendency now is to indirectly do so by leaving some things unanswered. There can be some level of chaos in your schedule today. While you’re quite willing to work, learn, and communicate, you’re less likely to want to follow rules and adhere to a specific schedule. Distractions can be plenty. Fortunately, you’re especially well-liked in your place of work and with classmates or people in your daily environment today.
Gemini
You may be coming to a more mature assessment of a creative project or even a romantic relationship today. However, final conclusions should wait for tomorrow and the next, when there is far more clarity. The tendency now may be to take a gamble. If the stakes are high, try to resist, as you are temporarily unable to see objects, money, and relationships very clearly. However, when it comes to work, you are able to cool your emotions enough to really take care of business.
Cancer
It’s time to take a personal inventory of those needs/wants that you’ve left unanswered or brushed aside – the reasonable ones! – and for considering ways to satisfy your needs or to, at the very least, recognize and honor your feelings. Consider it a self-awareness exercise, helped along by the Moon. Even though it can seem a little self-indulgent, it’s not! It’s part of an important process that benefits you across the board. Even with heightened emotions today, and possibly a small clash with a family member or frustration with your domestic life, you are able to cool feelings down long enough to handle creative pursuits and even romantic relationships with maturity and finesse.
Leo
Emotions demand some down time today. The Moon in your privacy zone all day increases your need for extra rest and emotional “space”. You seem to benefit most if left to your own resources, particularly when it comes to matters surrounding home and family if they require further thought. However, getting that time to yourself without distractions can be tricky right now. Slow and steady will in fact bring you closer to your goals, at least in a manner that lives up to your standards, than a slapdash approach.
Virgo
Your interests have been quite personal and often material in recent days, but today brings a stronger awareness of, and need for, making connections. However, take the time to assess recent efforts, particularly business and money-related projects, as you have greater wisdom and maturity in this regard right now. You may be questioned about your work and the pressure to give an answer gets you thinking about how far you’ve come along. You’re a little more prone to losing or misplacing money and valuables today, so be more vigilant than usual. It’s also possible that money is wasted on something you don’t need or won’t use.
Libra
You can feel that others are holding you accountable today more than usual, and they probably are, but most important is your own assessment. It’s a time for reviewing recent projects, goals, and events and doing so from a mature perspective. Is there something that would be best off put behind you? If so, you’re more able to see it today and in the coming days. This is not a day for risky moves or breaking the rules. It’s a good time for tending to business, taking care of bills, and handling practical matters.
Scorpio
You are more prepared than most today for any changes that might come your way, as you more readily let go of what you don’t need these days. You are not expecting support from others, so that when it does come through, you’re pleasantly surprised. There can be some restlessness, however, if an opportunity to get out and about emerges and you pass it up. While you may not be seeing a past or even a current relationship very clearly today, there can also be some warm moments and gestures that boost your spirits.
Sagittarius
Your pursuit of camaraderie or friendship today might be confused by some deeper emotions. The energy of the day tends to pull you back into yourself, possibly for a chance to recoup or to consider whether you’re taking care of your more spiritual needs before you push forward. There may be some complications in love and social affairs right now, mainly due to very idealistic expectations and wishful thinking.
Capricorn
This is a day for reorienting yourself and connecting with your more spiritual concerns and needs. It’s also important to check in with important people in your life in order to catch up with how your own goals are meshing with theirs. The days ahead are strong for looking at career and major life-goal matters in a new way, and today requires some evaluation of what’s most important to you. Others can really help you arrive at a conclusion, even if it’s simply a matter of coaxing out something that’s already inside of you!
Aquarius
Your imagination is powerful right now, and you have a fabulous way with words, although discipline may be a bit lacking temporarily. There is restlessness quite possible today, and this is especially the case if you’re coming to the conclusion that recent efforts haven’t yielded enough of the results you crave. Don’t pass judgments too quickly, however. In fact, in the next few days, your assessments will be far more reasonable and clear. Today, skies are cloudy when it comes to seeing things for their true worth.
Pisces
Hidden talents and resources tend to emerge these days, not only surprising others, but also yourself! Today seems to require some level of anonymity or detachment, as you don’t always feel that others are getting you, or your charms, just for the time being. The fact is, it’s actually a good time to keep some things to yourself, and to be in “observer” mode, simply because the world of the mind is favored in the next few days, but taking solid action may end up being premature or regrettable. Look around, investigate, and strategize.
If Your Birthday is October 15th, this is a powerful year for new ideas, connections, and initiatives. Personal magnetism is high, social situations are easier and more fluid, and you are bringing more wisdom to your work and business. If Today is Your Birthday full horoscope here.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 15th:
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).
