Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Today’s Venus-Pluto influence brings a healthy dose of self-honesty or new insight into a relationship or venture, dear Aries. You’re in excellent shape for focusing on activities that promote emotional renewal. You might look to the talents and resources of others to see if these can benefit a business. Something buried regarding your relationships and feelings can emerge now for release, and it’s satisfying. It’s a powerful time for healing relationship rifts or reviewing your financial situation. You’re radiating healing energy today, adding much to your charm. Also today, a Full Moon occurs in your sign, and a personal project or matter can reach a head. It prompts a personal awakening, and a significant person in your life or relationship status plays a prominent role. It can even be a situation in which a competitor or opponent motivates you to do your best. Observe, take notes, and be honest with yourself. You must now check in with the feelings and desires you’ve brushed off or left unfulfilled, especially with so much recent attention to others’ needs. The Full Moon now gives you the license to self-nurture! If you’ve been working on auto-pilot, you now wonder why you’ve accepted restrictions and sidelines. Seek out personal liberation in this week of personal triumphs and fascinating discoveries about your life plan, body, image, and attitude/outlook. Be aware that it’s a time when things come to light about you, making it best to keep those things you want to stay hidden on the down-low this week.

Taurus

Today’s Venus-Pluto aspect boosts your motivation and commitment, dear Taurus. Your feelings about a person or even a project or idea tend to intensify most pleasantly! You might get the opportunity to repair or enhance a relationship. Your negotiation skills are strong. While you want to see eye to eye, remaining sincere and honest at the same time makes it more worthwhile. You may be discovering hidden aspects of yourself through a relationship and feeling stronger for these insights. Others more readily put their trust in you, and you might arrive at a happy agreement. With today’s Full Moon in your privacy sector, there can also be an incredible feeling of freedom associated with letting go of a secret or fear. If you have any seriously unresolved issues, now is the time to get in touch with them. For example, if you’ve been burying your feelings about something or even someone, this can surface suddenly. It’s a time for facing truths about yourself and your attachments. The need for balance between physical and emotional health also becomes apparent. It’s time to take care of needs beyond the material so you can bring your renewed self back to your practical world and excel. This Full Moon wants you to look within after paying extra attention to work, habits, health, and lifestyle changes. If you don’t stop to listen to your inner voice or take extra time for rest and reflection, then you’re bound to burn out. Listen to your instincts to pull back and make changes gently now.

Gemini

You’re in good shape for pouring your energy into something special, dear Gemini. You could find a project especially compelling and want to explore it further. Research efforts can bring good results. Today’s Venus-Pluto is about throwing yourself into what you love, and this can be distracting if what you love is not what you need to do! Relationships can be consuming in a mostly positive way, or you may enjoy wrapping your head around a mystery. Today’s Full Moon stirs the need for special attention to your friendships, social life, networks, happiness goals, dreams, and hopes. Feelings for someone or a project can blossom. This lunation reminds you of the need for others, whether it’s about support or a sense of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic. Your feelings expand today, and there can be a revelation or unveiling–possibly, you come in touch with your true feelings about a matter surface, or you see a situation in a new light. Aim to restore balance to your life by including friends, considering communal needs, and enjoying the benefits of teams and groups, even if you’re exceptionally wrapped up in your personal or romantic life these days.

Cancer

You’re in terrific shape for following a passion or strengthening a bond, dear Cancer. Relationships improve with more focus, presence, and involvement. You’re making the best of a situation now as Venus and Pluto harmonize. Your confidence in your ability to resolve conflicts or overcome obstacles may be part of how you’re making good luck now! A connection made or a moment shared can be significant. It could be about a project or creative work you love, and you’re ready to pour your heart into it. You want to share a belief, dream, or tradition with someone you care about. Also today, a Full Moon reminds you of the need to pay special attention to your work or reputation. A responsibility or a call to action is possible, and you might recognize the need to perform or take the lead. A reward, award, or culmination of a project can occur, pulling you out of your shell. This Full Moon can challenge your desire to stay out of the limelight or to avoid specific responsibilities. There has been a beneficial focus on your home and family life these days, but going too far with it means the benefits begin to drop off. You are in an exposed position today, so try to play it cool! Instead, you might discover your true feelings about the direction your life is taking. Let your revelations motivate you to strike a better work-home balance.

Leo

You’re in terrific shape for throwing yourself into a project or activity you enjoy, dear Leo, especially one related to family and home. It’s a good time to look at yourself and your needs or desires honestly and benefit from what you discover. You might recognize emotional blocks and find ways to move past them. Decisions improve as self-understanding increases. Today’s Full Moon is a call to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you’ve been focusing intensively on your personal life. This lunation can awaken you to the need for more spirited activities and interests. It’s a nudge toward rounding out your life with pursuits that feed your spirit and mind. Your mind is opening to the need for a change in perspective and a break from the routine. Your focus on errands, paperwork, and learning has dominated your life recently, but today’s Full Moon reminds you to feed your soul or learn something new. There can be something published, expressed, or promoted, and you could experience sudden interests that lead you along a new path or motivate you to rekindle an old interest.

Virgo

You’re in a great place to learn something about yourself, a particular person, or a project in your life today, dear Virgo. You have support for throwing energy into communication or creative project, and revealing dynamics can figure strongly in a close relationship. Conversations are vibrant and moving today. You might come up with a good strategy for handling a matter. Also today, a Full Moon can bring revelations, epiphanies, and turning points related to an intimate relationship, passion project, or money owed or shared. You might gain new information about shared resources or debts and loans. You stand to learn a lot about your feelings with this lunation awakening you to what you want or need. There can be a surprising discovery about your feelings for someone (or theirs for you). Instead, this Full Moon might bring a financial or intimate matter to a turning point. If you’ve been dependent on a situation, person, or habit, you’re now recognizing the need to make empowering changes. You’re seeing the light about releasing yourself from a burden.

Libra

Today’s Venus-Pluto helps you focus, dear Libra, and it boosts your personal presence and power. You’re gaining a new understanding of your resources and talents. The more empowered you feel, the closer you get to your heart and authentic desires. Your ability to strategize and even to hold your tongue brings the most rewards today! Your strength of character shines through, and self-improvement is ongoing. Domestic activities or maintaining your belongings and valuables is gratifying. With the Sun transiting your sign these days, your independence and personal needs are in stronger focus. However, today’s Full Moon reminds you that you need others to be the best you can be. This lunation expands your emotions, particularly about your relationships, and you can discover your feelings on a matter, or something about you may come to light. It can pull up buried matters, which can be revealing, or there can be an important realization about your feelings for someone or about a particular partnership. However, take your time with new endeavors or actions. Relationship goals may need refinement. You’re approaching your relationships differently now, so expect different results.

Scorpio

Today’s strong for attracting or enhancing a relationship, dear Scorpio, and for feeling supported and appreciated by a friend or partner. Growing and improving your connections can be your focus now. You’re naturally drawn to mutually beneficial or pleasing social situations, and your manner is desirable and appealing. Healing energy is with you today. Your perceptive powers are in fine form, and you’re ready to put your heart into whatever moves you. Boosting your inner self helps you to express yourself more creatively and from the heart. Today’s Full Moon can bring your attention to deadlines or pressing matters related to work or health as it occurs in your solar sixth house. You’re awakening to the need to improve your work-rest balance by paying more attention to your need for order in your daily life. You can experience some revelations about your work, habits, or health and wellness. Focus on ways to improve your productivity, as it’s time to refresh your daily life.

Sagittarius

Emotional longings can be in strong focus today, dear Sagittarius, but you can more easily understand them and work with them. There is also good energy for recycling or repurposing resources in such a way that you transform them. Business and money sense is excellent. New insight into financial or security matters can emerge. This is a fine day for exploring your passions and interests, too, and for immersing yourself in what truly pleases you. You’re inclined to keep your desires to yourself, but you can find satisfying ways to release or channel them. Today’s Full Moon occurs in your sector of joy, pleasure, romance, and creativity and can prompt an important realization about a romance or pet project. Listen to your intuition about a matter, even if it comes on suddenly and surprises you. The Full Moon can also illuminate your need for creative self-expression and spontaneity. Listen to your heart, but take your time before jumping into action.

Capricorn

Today’s Venus-Pluto transit boosts your mood, powers of attraction, and determination, dear Capricorn. Offering your expertise to help others can open up great rewards for you, or you more fully enjoy contributing and sharing for the intrinsic rewards. Recent problems with others can be handled with greater ease and honesty now. You’re not inclined to sweep things under the rug, preferring to tackle issues at their root. You’ve been doing a lot of work on yourself, redefining who you are, and this impacts your relationships. Ideally, your close connections allow you to change and grow, but sometimes, individual changes can confuse someone in your life. Now can be an excellent time to explain. Recognition as a team player works in your favor today. On another level, today’s Full Moon awakens your need to attend to your needs for nurture, comfort, safety, and familiarity. It can bring illumination or a turning point to family, home, and personal matters. You might recognize needs that you’ve recently brushed aside or overlooked, helping you move on and forward. Suppose you’ve been focusing too much on your responsibilities to career and the outside world. In that case, the need to arrive at a balance with more quality attention to your personal life can become apparent. If you’ve been overextending yourself, you need to find ways to get more downtime. This Full Moon can remind you to recharge so that you can give other areas of your life your best. You may benefit greatly from doing some catching up with family or your own heart.

Aquarius

It’s quite easy to get caught up in an enjoyable pursuit with Venus and Pluto harmonizing, dear Aquarius. You’re seeking something meaningful to put your heart into, and with this motivation, you can accomplish and uncover a lot. You’ll find that the conviction behind your desires and ideas attracts support from others. Past good deeds can bring rewards to the present. You might thoroughly enjoy setting goals for yourself or coming up with fabulous business ideas or terrific strategies for long-term plans. You see value and priority more clearly than usual. Also today, a Full Moon can prompt an important realization about your daily affairs, mobility, studies, or general mental outlook and communications. It helps you release and purge, and a revelation about your feelings on a matter can spur you on. This lunation happens in your transportation and communications sector, and a writing or learning project can come to completion, or publicity or promotion can be in focus. You can feel a strong desire to be understood.

Pisces

You might enjoy building a passion for an idea or a project today, dear Pisces. There can be intensely creative and romantic energies flowing now; with this energy, you could be attracting (or attracted to) a new idea or person. Or, a current project or relationship benefits from your undivided attention now. You can be more confident due to your involvement in a team or contributions to a cause or group effort. Friends are supportive and intrigued by your point of view. A stronger sense of purpose or mission can fall into place. Also today, there can be revelations with a Full Moon in your solar second house. You could awaken to your feelings about money, ownership, valuables, values, talents, sharing of responsibilities, and power dynamics. The goal now should be to work towards stronger self-worth, value, security, and comfort. You’re likely to face the needs and wants you’ve kept at bay, and it’s a great learning experience.

Signs, Elements, Modes, & Lunar Phase

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

ARIES STRONG

Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.

LIBRA STRONG

Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, a strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.

SCORPIO STRONG

Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, the power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, dramatic.

Today’s Elemental Balance

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.

WATER STRONG

Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL STRONG

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON

Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.

We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 17th:

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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).
