Horoscopes
Aries
These days, managing your relationships can be key to your own happiness. People have something to teach you, and today is no exception. You’re moving towards a more relationship-oriented emotional focus, and allowing an important person in your life to have more say can benefit you. Just for the time being, try to ease off your own goals and plans and take more time to tend to the needs of others. Your relationships, or your own companionability, can improve right now. For some of you, an old partner could resurface.
Taurus
This is a time for improving your skills set and finding ways to be of help and service to others. Perfecting your particular craft, without doing so the point of obsession, is your path these days, and today, you could meet people or there could be information coming in that points you in the right direction. The details of everyday life assume far more importance today and tomorrow, although this could possibly be to the point that the larger picture is numbed.
Gemini
You are learning about your own creativity and your true identity/personality these days with the Moon’s North Node transiting your solar fifth house. Today, you are inclined to talk about things very dear to your heart, or to come across information or announcements that lead you further on this journey of discovery. In the past couple of days you may have been feeling quite withdrawn and introspective, and today, you are more desirous of sharing yourself.
Cancer
The nesting instinct is growing today, and your more helpful and nurturing qualities are being called upon, not just at home, but in many different areas of your life. Today is good for reconciling with someone, even if it’s only a reconciliation in your own head and heart. This is a good few days for contemplation. There can be news about a personal or private matter that helps you to heal.
Leo
You are discovering just how capable you are, and especially regarding your powers to learn, teach, and understand. This is a time for seeking out challenges, pursuing mental interests, and working on unfinished projects. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there when it comes to matters revolving around thinking, the mind, writing, speaking, and sharing ideas. While these are pre-Eclipse days, making them better for reflection than new endeavors, information coming to you today can point you in the right direction.
Virgo
Generally speaking, this is a time for really getting to know what you value, and for recognizing your natural talents and your own worth. Information coming in to you today might point you in either of these directions. If it’s finance-related, it can also be very helpful. Work on self-esteem can be very rewarding now. The Moon leaves your sign this morning, and some of the emotional urgency associated with this Moon position subsides. You are more able to see and enjoy the staples in your life now.
Libra
With the North Node in your sign, you have been learning about being independent and enjoying it, dear Libra. It’s a time of self-discovery – of finding yourself – and today, you could be meeting people or coming across information that helps this process along. The Moon enters your sign this morning, and emotions that you’ve brushed aside can now emerge for handling. Today is likely to be more emotional than most. You’re sensitive, taking in a lot from your environment, and in high demand as well.
Scorpio
Interesting connections could be made now, whether this involves bumping into an old friend or coming across something that jogs your memory of an old relationship or problem area. Even if you can’t seem to communicate your inner message right now, you might consider that you don’t truly need to at the moment. A Solar Eclipse will occur in your sign on Thursday evening (Eastern time), and the days before that event are powerful for letting go of excess emotional baggage. You’ll be even more effective after the Eclipse if you do this work now.
Sagittarius
You have been getting many cosmic nudges to improve networking, to reach out to others, and to enjoy and build friendships. Today can bring another such reminder, possibly even by way of a surprise meeting or contact with someone from your past. You might also receive news or information that connects you with people who are to become important figures in your life. The Moon is Balsamic, signaling a time of processing and reflecting rather than putting effort into brand new beginnings.
Capricorn
These days, and including today, there can be many reminders to set solid goals and to meet your responsibilities. You are being encouraged to put more effort into your professional or public life now. While this will continue as an overarching theme in your life for another full year, your general focus is shifting this week with an upcoming Solar Eclipse. There can be a move towards teamwork, friendships, and networking. Today, take in information, think about recent events, and let go of issues that are no longer serving you well.
Aquarius
There can be a strong desire to take part in activities that break your usual routine and that make you feel that you are truly living and learning rather than simply going through the motions. In just a few days, professional interests or concerns are likely to take center stage in important ways. For now, take in, reflect, contemplate, and talk things out with people you trust. This is a time in which building your faith is essential to your happiness.
Pisces
You may be letting go of some comforts these days, or of some level of security, as you are developing the courage to live life with more unknowns in the equation. Today, people or information you receive can point you further in this direction. There might also be a need to pay more attention to financial matters. Today favors active introspection. This trend continues until after the Solar Eclipse on the 23rd, which is certain to stimulate your desire/need for new adventures of the body and the mind.
If Your Birthday is October 21st, the year ahead is strong for making connections, learning, and making good progress in work already underway. If Today is Your Birthday full horoscope here.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 21st:
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.
