Summary:
We are positive in our conversations, and we give people the benefit of the doubt today. There can be doubts or confusion in close partnerships, however. It continues to be important – even more so – to tie up loose ends and lay low rather than start major new endeavors.
- The Moon is in Virgo all day.
- The Moon is void from 11:29 PM forward (until tomorrow at 7:12 AM EDT).
- The Moon is waning, and is in its Last Quarter/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 on October 23rd – another reason to hold off on major decision-making.
Horoscopes
Aries
You are attracting intelligent, interesting people into your experience, and there is a stronger desire to share your ideas. Your manner is instinctively friendly, and you seek out (or attract) people who stimulate your mind or your curiosity. Be sure to tend to work in progress rather than adding more to your “to do” list. Organize, restore, and sort. News can be exciting. An old project can re-emerge for a closer look. In these pre-Eclipse days, however, focus on winding down rather than winding up!
Taurus
You can bring attention to details to your bigger plans today, but do your best to focus on work in progress rather than new endeavors. There can be positive word about a home or family matter now. Today and tomorrow are good for editing, ending, and tying up loose ends. Look for value in the projects, people, and efforts that you already have rather than adding more to your life. Talking about the bigger issues with family or coworkers can be enlightening. It’s a good time to sell your own ideas as well.
Gemini
You can be quite popular today, and this is especially the case when it comes to your ideas or the appreciation of your intelligence and insight. People are giving you the benefit of the doubt, at the very least. You are entertaining others with your words, and your thinking is especially creative. While you’re not inclined to dig deep right now, you’re nevertheless interested in solving problems. There can be an agreement made, or simply good vibes, with a partner or romantic interest.
Cancer
You are seeking out security right now, but you’re also inclined to a lot of activity in and around the home. You could come across a good find, such as an object that has interesting roots in the past or an interesting history, or something fun for the home. There can be rewarding conversations with people you love today. This can be a good day for financial matters, or simply for enjoying a sense of abundance.
Leo
You are entertaining an interest in multiple subjects now, and while it can be very busy at times, it’s an enjoyable kind of busy. You’re especially connected, vibrant, and willing to exchange ideas. There can be significant connections with siblings, neighbors, or classmates figuring strongly now. A good release from stress can come through writing, conversation, teaching, and studying. You might enjoy a nice feeling of rapport and agreement with people in your life on important issues.
Virgo
There can be a nice sense of ease experienced today, particularly when allowed time to yourself, but also in financial areas. You could acquire a valuable possession and money making ideas can be gold, but it’s also a time for devoting to developing and recognizing your natural talents. Wisdom is derived from reflecting on what you truly value and want in life. You can take great pleasure in private moments, but people tend to seek you out anyway, especially for your advice.
Libra
You rather readily and naturally attract good things, people, and situations to you right now. You are seeing possibilities, and as a result, you’re in a positive frame of mind. Connections you may not have made in the past are forming now. Sharing ideas is favored now – you’re both teaching and learning a lot today. This is a superb time for putting a slight or hurt behind you in these pre-Eclipse days, or for getting rid of a bad habit. Cleanse, clear out, purge, and renew yourself.
Scorpio
Good energy is with you for reviewing recent events, particularly decisions made around mid-September. It’s a time for deeper thought, contemplation, and possibly a bit of research. This is about improving today and tomorrow by examining yesterday. This can be especially useful for business or reputation matters. You could have a helpful conversation with a person in authority, or review a past one, mining for gold. There could be some joy or reward in your career, and good word might circulate about you. Be gracious, confident, and above-board, but don’t worry about keeping some things to yourself at the moment.
Sagittarius
Learning experiences can come through networking, connecting with friends, and sharing opinions and ideas. You are less inclined to worry today, preferring to see things in a rosier light. The day’s energies are pleasing for higher education, travel, philosophy, and transportation matters. Good news might arrive. You seem to be connecting with significant people in easygoing, warm ways right now, seeing eye to eye for the most. There may be frustration later today, however, if you feel others are putting too much pressure on you.
Capricorn
It’s a strong day for revisiting recent decisions or strategies on business and financial levels. You are attracting support through a sincere, honest approach, whether you’re looking for it or not. You could be making connections, but more likely reconnecting with people, plans, and ideas from your past. You are looking at projects and even people in a new way now, and this can be helpful, as the first go may not have been very thorough. Tonight, the pipeline to true, deeply buried feelings (especially angry ones) is open wide, and even if it feels a little raw, it’s important to pay attention. A little self-understanding can go a long way.
Aquarius
There are better days for thinking in big terms, and there are better days for thinking about the details. Today favors both, and this doesn’t happen very often. It’s especially strong for examining the past – decisions made that could use a further look, and those things that you’ve left unfinished. You shine when sharing ideas with someone special. One-on-one is best for you at the moment. You’re concerned about ethics and morals along with practical elements. In these pre-Eclipse days, absorb and process rather than jump into new things.
Pisces
You tend to enjoy uncovering information, contemplating motives, and other such investigative thinking today. You can benefit from strategy – it comes naturally to you, and tends to work for you right now. There could also be a lot of thought or conversation about finances and especially shared or joint finances. It can feel wonderful to agree with a partner or significant person in your life now, and then expand on your own perspective without judgment. There could be pleasant experiences through the pursuit of work or health goals.

There may be slight changes in relationships that have us concerned or feeling out of sync, although these may very well be changes in our perceptions (we may see elements that we previsously idealized in a partner in a less flattering light, for example).

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 20th:
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).
