Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 6th

We may be quite serious today with cerebral Mercury joining somber Saturn, reminding us to think twice about sharing what’s on our minds. It may even seem as if our thoughts are flowing along in slow motion. Nevertheless, we may find time to daydream anyhow as the Sun stressfully aligns with imaginative Neptune. Meanwhile, the futuristic Aquarius Moon encourages us to look ahead while the Mercury-Saturn conjunction reins our ideas back in.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling pretty good about yourself today, especially if you aren’t trying to accomplish too much. However, your unwillingness to acknowledge the limitations of your schedule could prompt someone to rain on your parade. Hitting the wall of resistance isn’t much fun but once you accept the circumstances that are beyond your control, you should be able to make the necessary adjustments to your plans.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies can be quite enjoyable today, and as long as you don’t lose track of reality everything should flow smoothly. Unfortunately, you have work-related obligations to attend to that could stand between you and your pursuit of pleasure. Don’t try to avoid your responsibilities; address them first. If you work hard now you should be able to play hard later.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be more interested in your future now than you are in what’s happening today. However, your attachment to the possibilities ahead may be less about sensible planning than an attempt to escape from your current commitments. Unfortunately, there’s too much chaos in the present moment for you to pretend that everything’s under control. If you don’t take care of the immediate issues right away, they will grow into even more of a problem.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might not feel at ease in your own home today, but ironically are more comfortable when you head out into the world. A family member or someone close to you may tell you what’s on his or her mind, and it might not be good news. It’s advisable for you to put on your rhino skin because your feelings could be hurt if you don’t take self-protective precautions. Don’t wallow in self-doubt; if nothing else, dream yourself out of the temporary malaise.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are able to balance your intuition with common sense today, suggesting progress on many fronts. But you could miss the point if you become so spiritually inclined that you lose your bearings. Observe your reactions before you respond or your fears and attachments could prompt unavoidable negative consequences. If you can keep one foot on the ground, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to make real positive change.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may run into unexpected delays as your key planet Mercury conjuncts karmic Saturn. You won’t likely get what you want unless you’re willing to work for it. On the other hand, you’ll surely be disappointed if you don’t give it your all. Today’s lesson points out that achieving your goal isn’t the only reward. Showing up and playing the game passionately, whether you win or lose, is where you can find the most joy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can easily work yourself into a funk today as you worry more and more about your future. Ironically, you might not be able to explain your free-floating anxiety because there aren’t sufficient real life circumstances to justify your concerns. Ultimately, your future is up to you, so aim high and don’t let yourself be distracted by self-doubt.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are often the one who can broach a difficult topic for discussion, but sometimes playing this role is exhausting. Your unwillingness to talk about something that no one else wants to acknowledge is reinforced by today’s critical Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets. Fortunately, your resistance will pass. Ultimately, there aren’t many topics of discussion that are too sensitive or challenging for you, so tackle the unresolved issue once you are back in the mood.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel stifled by your friends and co-workers as a naysaying Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 11th House of Community can bring critical words from an ally. Unfortunately, your desire for change makes it more difficult to manage your response to the current feedback. Although you might not embrace the concept of patience, it is probably your best strategy. For now, err on the side of caution.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have something important to say today, and you’re going to say it even if it’s politically incorrect as your key planet Saturn is activated by loquacious Mercury. But how you deliver your words may be nearly as important as the actual content of your message. Minimize any negative consequences by considering other people’s feelings and being as compassionate as possible.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you’ve been planning on taking a trip, today’s reality check may cause you to think again. Although you thought that you would be able to escape, your optimism fades, leaving you with a pile of reasons that makes discretionary travel difficult. But don’t get discouraged because a fresh wave of hope arrives later in the day as new dreams begin to replace the old ones that didn’t come true.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re willing to accept the limitations placed on you by your work schedule today. Instead of fighting back or negotiating for additional freedom, you may be slightly relieved that others know what you’re doing. But this isn’t exactly a peaceful, easy feeling because you realize how much is being asked of you. Nevertheless, your concentrated effort should pay off and you’ll soon be floating in dreams about a kinder and gentler tomorrow.
