Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 4th

We may feel as if we woke up on the wrong side the bed today as an anxious Sun-Venus alignment prompts emotional stress. Relationships are in for a bit of rock and roll this afternoon when the normally pleasant Libra Moon bumps into some pretty tough aspects with potent Pluto and rebellious Uranus. The socially astute Libra New Moon at 8:34 pm EDT marks a turning point as we consider what’s negotiable and how to get along better with others.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You instinctively know what others need today and can make them feel at ease before they are even aware of your swift intervention. Your attention shifts from your personal ambitions toward those of your friends because the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 7th House of Companions. Don’t be overly intrusive by assuming everyone wants your help. There may not be a valid reason to get involved unless you are asked. Sometimes good intentions aren’t enough. Nevertheless, there’s nothing wrong with letting people know that you care.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You can turn on the charm now, enabling you to collaborate with your coworkers as the agreeable Libra New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment. It’s easier to prioritize your tasks and negotiate which jobs could be delayed and which must be done right away. Fortunately, you’re capable of keeping up with everything that happens today, even if your efforts aren’t appreciated until later.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

The next few weeks provide you with a chance to revitalize a current relationship or may bring you a new love interest, instead. The social Libra New Moon reignites your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, which is a propitious sign for you to express your artistic nature today. Don’t hesitate; getting started quickly will free up even more time later on for pleasurable pursuits.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Strolling down Memory Lane is a familiar experience, and today your mental journey raises significant issues that you have already considered once before. Luckily, you can manage your emotions in order to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, don’t get lost in your nostalgic meanderings just because the Libra New Moon falls in your 4th House of Roots. Instead, strive to concentrate on the present moment, rather than slipping off into dreamland. Your future is calling and there’s no time to waste.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you want to believe that you know what’s best for you now, it’s still necessary to take time to consider the wishes of those around you. Even if you are striving to demonstrate your independence, it’s pointless to set your schedule before you talk with the people in your group. Today’s Libra New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, motivating you to engage everyone within hearing range. Once you know what others want, you can set your agenda for the day and determine how to meet your needs, too.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may think you need to make a decision about money today, but your options aren’t as definitive as you wish. Unfortunately, the ambivalent Libra New Moon in your 2nd House of Finances makes it difficult to find the perspective you are seeking. You might go back and forth without being able to choose, but nothing positive will stem from being too hard on yourself. Wait a few days before completely committing one way or the other. In the meantime, listing the pros and cons is the next logical step.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Channeling your ideas into practical goals is exciting, but enthusiasm isn’t the only thing that counts. There’s no getting around that you must follow through on your plans with perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work. Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a sudden break from your past if you are ready to place your new intentions into action. But first you must express your desires clearly enough so they can have the impact you wish.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you can usually keep a secret at any cost, a particular issue may be the source of trouble today with the Libra New Moon falling in your 12th House of Privacy. However, you want to tell someone everything you know because you believe it will increase the intimacy between you. Unfortunately, you could go against your promise and impulsively spill the beans. Postpone your conversation until later this evening when you will have more objectivity and discretion at your disposal.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your social calendar is jumping and you have the opportunity to kick the energy up another notch now since the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 11th House of Friends. Give yourself plenty of time to bask in stimulating discussions with like-minded people. But don’t wait too long to gather a group together, for everyone benefits when you share your dreams and optimistic visions about the future. Your love for life is contagious; pass it on.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s Libra New Moon occurs in your 10th House of Public Responsibilities, stirring your ambitions and reminding you of all the amazing things that you have accomplished. But there may be more chores for you to finish before you can start a new project. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of taking on more work prior to saying yes on a job that could leave you exhausted. Creating a healthy balance between work and play is ultimately the most effective way to reach your goals.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have an exciting opportunity to expand your horizons now by investigating an innovative idea. Gathering information about different courses of study should help you decide about attending school or additional on-the-job training as today’s Libra New Moon occupies your 9th House of Higher Education. Just don’t limit the possibilities to practical subjects; go ahead and break out of your self-imposed restriction and discover a wildly different world.

Pisces Horoscope

Your heart-centered approach to other people’s problems can open a door to the possibility of greater intimacy now that the gracious Libra New Moon falls in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Don’t let your fear of the unknown stand between you and feeling compassion for someone else. Instead, maintain a balanced approach to the mysteries of love. Exploring the uncharted shadows of a relationship isn’t as scary as it might seem at first.
