Summary:
On this rather turbulent day before a Lunar Eclipse, we should aim to use challenging Uranus energy constructively – by innovating rather than rebelling. Avoid new launches. Act from your heart rather than react.
- The Moon is in Pisces until 6:06 AM EDT, and is void until then.
- The Moon is in Aries from 6:06 AM EDT forward.
- The Moon is waxing.
- Mercury is retrograde. Review, reflect, and revise.
- Tomorrow is a Lunar Eclipse (October 8th) – another indication that we should avoid big decision making. Emotions are building, and so is tension.
Horoscopes
Aries Some level of resistance to your ideas and plans is likely today, either from circumstances or from people around you. The need for reaching a compromise is obvious, but not especially easy! There can be rising demands or needs for attention from others, and encounters now can be significant. A person may be holding the power over your attention, and there could be an important discovery about a relationship. The day is emotionally charged. If you must, express yourself, but consider that jumping too fast to a decision or into something new may not be the wisest move. As well, watch for impulsive and possibly insensitive commentary/communications. Daily Horoscope page for Aries here.
Taurus Your work or responsibilities can demand attention today, and your heart isn’t in fulfilling them. You may be feeling under the weather, especially vulnerable and sensitive, and rather retiring right now, although life is not necessarily obliging you. It can also be very difficult to stick to a schedule, or you could be feeling at the mercy of others’ unpredictability and changes of plans/mind. There could be hidden things and secrets coming to light, uncomfortable discoveries, and sudden epiphanies today and tomorrow. Whatever does surface can in fact set you on a fulfilling, healthy path. You are getting in touch with what’s bothering you or what’s missing from your life. Daily Horoscope page for Taurus here.
Gemini Your social life can be buzzing right now. You might experience a conflict between a friend and a lover, but more likely, there can be a pull, disagreement, or discrepancy brought up that causes some tension. In truth, if someone’s behavior or words bother you, it would be wise to think about why, if only to learn more about yourself or to jump start your own thinking through opposition. This can lead you to a new and improved perspective. There is the element of surprise, rebellion, or change in the atmosphere around you today. Be the changemaker rather than have changes forced upon you. Watch carefully for hasty actions and communications. Daily Horoscope page for Gemini here.
Cancer There can be real challenges managing your personal and professional/public lives now, with heavy demands coming from both. Today there can be some frustrations surrounding your work, responsibilities, or reputation. Try not to overreact, especially with all the changes of plans, minds, and schedules going on around you. There can be a temper tantrum brewing! People seem fickle right now. Today and tomorrow, keep in mind that you are in a rather exposed position – people are noticing you more than usual. Protect your interests and privacy. Daily Horoscope page for Cancer here.
Leo Tension can result from scattering your energy and generally overextending yourself today. Aim to keep an open mind as schedules and plans can change at a moment’s notice. New information can come that changes your perspective, but there can also be someone who swoops in to challenge you, and this can be frustrating. You have little tolerance for restrictive, limiting situations and attitudes. If someone is dealing with you in a rigid or pushy way, you’re likely to stand up for yourself. Make the decision to learn from the conflicts that arise today. Daily Horoscope page for Leo here.
Virgo The tension you’re experiencing now can either push you to work harder or it can burn you out, and it’s really up to you which way you will go with this. There is a tendency for people to challenge one another today, so try not to take it too personally. Control spending, as you can be a little impulsive with money, and watch for impulsiveness in your intimate relationships as well. There can be a bit of an instigator in you if you’re feeling frustrated and not sure how to bring up the real issues bothering you. Watch for being overly extreme or harsh in your communications today. Daily Horoscope page for Virgo here.
Libra It could seem that important people in your life are demanding, defensive, or even defiant today and tomorrow. There can be moody reactions to what you say and do. Of course it’s important to stand your ground, but it would be better if you did so without becoming too emotionally invested. Revelations and epiphanies are likely now, and they could seem new when in fact they’re about things that have already been brewing. These could have been a very long time coming, and ultimately help you to break free from difficult and negative patterns in your life. Something about you or a relationship could be unmasked or exposed now. Daily Horoscope page for Libra here.
Scorpio There can be distractions, from the inside and outside, that keep you from feeling completely settled today. It can be very difficult to stick to a schedule or to be productive. Be prepared to change your plans at a moment’s notice. People needing your help can disrupt your workflow. Others can seem rather demanding, and so can your work or routine. Even so, changes or conflicts occurring today can result in important discoveries. Examine any guilty feelings that do emerge now, as you’ll be doing yourself a big favor if you manage previously buried resentment or guilt that has been driving your behavior and undermining your happiness. Daily Horoscope page for Scorpio here.
Sagittarius Key people in your life may not be cooperating right now, and it can seem that almost any little thing can set someone off. Your social life can be exciting but can also feel a little unstable at the moment. There could be strong emotions or an epiphany in a romance or friendship. You might also make important discoveries related to hobbies, creative pursuits, children, and long-term happiness goals. A friend could push you in the right direction in terms of finding good outlets for your creativity and self-expression, travel, education, or even romance. Daily Horoscope page for Sagittarius here.
Capricorn There can be some level of emotional chaos today and tomorrow, and it would be wise to keep this in mind in the face of new information or advice received. Avoid hasty actions and angry confrontations. Life seems to be accelerated, possibly to give us more courage to do something we’ve always wanted to do. The need for change is real, but try not to make changes as a reaction to frustrating situations or people. Know your own heart and act upon it. Both professional and personal demands are strong upon you, but it can be difficult to make headway in either direction. Daily Horoscope page for Capricorn here.
Aquarius You are exuberant and far-sighted today, but also sensitive enough to have your bubble popped. Your life can be chaotic, or there can be too many demands placed upon you right now. Today and tomorrow, there may be a sudden need for self-honesty about an important issue – feelings that you’ve brushed aside or buried can emerge that surprise you with their force, and their truth. Ultimately, you’ll have a healthy feeling of release and purging, and you’ll be ready to move forward. People may be opposing your ideas or plans, and this can lead to greater inner certainty or the scrapping of unsuitable goals. Either way, although others’ input can be irritating, how you use that information is what’s important. Daily Horoscope page for Aquarius here.
Pisces There can be tension brewing today and tomorrow, and it can be centered around money, ownership, sharing of responsibilities, and power dynamics. Whether someone owes you respect or money, the situation can become very heated very quickly. Material or non-material/emotional debts can be a subject of dispute right now. Do your best to center yourself and learn from any conflict that emerges today. Be an innovator rather than a rebel. Be careful with your money, talents, and valuables.
