MUMBAI, 18 OCTOBER, 2020 (GPN):

DAILY HOROSCOPE:

Aries
Mercury has spent quite some time in your opposing sign, dear Aries, and will continue to transit your partnership sector until November 2nd. Next week, this planet of communication will move out of its shadow. You can really benefit from working with someone you trust for coming to important decisions and ideas. You thrive on meetings of the mind. You can also discover a lot about yourself through your connections with others. Keep communications honest, open, respectful, and healthy and you’ll reap the most rewards from this important cycle. Early today, this is especially important, as it can be challenging to focus and to communicate what’s truly in your heart. You can experience a small confidence drop when it comes to your next move, general direction, or your plans. However, this only means you need to give your brain a little break from overthinking things. The Moon’s move into Capricorn early afternoon is sure to help you in this respect, as it can motivate you to narrow your focus to priorities.

Taurus
Mercury has spent more time in your work and health sector than usual, dear Taurus, and will continue here until early November. This can be a great time for doing some major sorting, reorganizing, and possibly rethinking of your work, work and personal environment, habits, and health endeavors. You’ll need to find a healthy balance between rest and work and make a special effort to keep your thoughts productive and positive, and this morning you could be reminded of this need, possibly indirectly as you can find that you’re easily distracted. The Moon’s move into fellow Earth sign, Capricorn, early afternoon, can help you to get into a comfortable routine and to take things one step at a time. Certainly, you’re in need of some emotional refreshment, and you’re likely to seek it out now.

Gemini
Your ruler, Mercury, typically spends about three weeks in a sign, dear Gemini, but has been in Libra since late August, and will continue this fellow Air sign until early November. Now that Mercury’s closer to leaving its shadow, your resolve is building and you’re likely to be seeing more and more forward movement with your projects and plans. Pay special attention to feedback from, conversations with, and information about creative endeavors, children, and love interests. The clearer you are, the more motivated you feel. However, the first half of today can be a little disorganized. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s time to take a break from overthinking things. Delay important commitments and choices, if possible. From early afternoon forward, you’re more inclined to find something worthwhile to focus on, and with a simpler plan, your head clears.

Cancer
There can be quite a bit of activity in and around the home these days, dear Cancer, and perhaps little, frequent changes, with Mercury in your home and family sector for an extended period. This transit will continue until early November, and it’s a good time to sort out domestic affairs. You might often think of the past and enjoy more contact or conversation with family. In the first half of the day, something that looks very attractive may prove to be useless later, or a desire that comes on suddenly may subside almost as quickly. Your mind can be quite restless, and this may be a cue to feed it with more imagination or to seek out inspiration. Your mind is likely to wander anyway! You could feel you have so much to do that you don’t know where to begin. However, you are likely to simplify things as the day advances, and you would do well with narrowing your focus.

Leo
You’ve been craving mental stimulation these days, dear Leo, with Mercury in your communications sector for an extended period. Do what you can to keep a few projects going so that you can move between them so that you experience the variety you crave. The first half of the day can be a little unfocused and you restlessness may be stirred. Enjoy positive energy but stay grounded. Try not to limit yourself with overly structured activities just for now. Detail work today can be error-prone. Haste makes waste, and information available to you may not be complete. From early afternoon forward, however, there is a stronger drive to focus, concentrate, and take care of business.

Virgo
Mercury has been spending a longer time than usual in your solar second house, dear Virgo, and will continue to transit here until early November. Generally it’s a great time for concentrating on matters that truly need attention. This simplifies your life on some level, although at times you could be missing important spiritual considerations when making decisions and drawing conclusions. You’re likely to be feeling this especially so in the first half of today. It might also be difficult to get a straight answer from others, and you probably shouldn’t push things. If you’re feeling a little out of sync, consider ways to inject more imagination and inspiration into your life going forward. The Moon moves into your creativity sector early afternoon, and this can bring you out of your shell. You could be feeling motivated about bringing more structure to your projects.

Libra
With Mercury in your sign for an extended stay, dear Libra, you are certainly in need of an audience for your ideas and thoughts. Mercury has been in Libra since August 27th and will continue here until early November. Now that it’s almost done it’s shadow phase, the coming weeks are excellent for teaching yourself something new, keeping busy, and mental inspiration. In the first half of today, however, you could be feeling a little scattered – anxious to get things done but having a hard time settling on something specific. There might be a little chaos today before things truly begin to take off for you. Relationships with family need attention, and you could find that home is your sanctuary, or familiar people relax you. Your ability to simplify and relax later today helps to soothe nervousness.

Scorpio
You may have been doing a lot of sorting through recent experiences recently with Mercury in your privacy sector since late August, Scorpio. Mercury is spending more than its usual time here, and will continue to transit this last sector in your solar chart until early November. A lot is going on under the surface of things. You may be taking your time on certain decisions or working on something behind the scenes. Everyday stresses tend to take more of a toll than usual, and today you could have a real desire to escape or retreat from pressures. The first half of the day is not strong for focus and order, but from early afternoon forward, there’s a turnaround. In fact, you can become far clearer in terms of priorities and more able to focus on what truly matters to you.

Sagittarius
Mercury has been spending a good, long time in your social sector, dear Sagittarius. It first began this chatty trek in late August and will continue until early November. Due to a recent retrograde, this is a far longer transit of one sign than it normally takes, giving you a chance to really explore your connections and need for communications with friends, networks, or groups. The coming weeks are strong for any planning or organizing endeavor, for getting plans in place that are long-term and good for you, and for sharing and exchanging ideas with others. This morning, however, signals can easily get lost, and you could discover that you’ve misunderstood something or that your own message has been misinterpreted. You may not get a straight answer from others, so either try to be as clear as possible and leave little to the imagination, or simply save important conversations for later. From early afternoon on, you are far more focused and in fact quite interested in taking care of important business or settling into a comfortable routine.

Capricorn
Much thought is given to career or long-term goals these days with Mercury spending more than its usual time in your solar tenth house, dear Capricorn. The coming weeks are strong for really sorting things out. Anything that requires attention to detail as well as vision can benefit now. You are also in the position to learn important things that can help you further your ambitions and goals. A potential downside to this cycle is that you might often be asked to explain yourself or account for what you do and say. This morning, however, the possibility of misunderstandings or misrepresenting yourself in some way is real, so be a little more vigilant about gathering facts before jumping to conclusions. The Moon enters your sign early afternoon, and we move beyond a Mercury-Neptune awkward aspect, making it a good time to feel more in your element and clearer about your next step.

Aquarius
Mercury has been spending quite some time in your adventure and spirit sector, dear Aquarius, and certainly longer than its usual transit of approximately three weeks. This transit first began in late August and will continue until November 2nd. With Mercury soon leaving its shadow phase after a retrograde period, the coming weeks are excellent for learning, sharing, and discovering on mental planes. Your thoughts are frequently elevated above regular concerns. It’s relatively easy to feel pleasantly busy, mentally engaged, and often inspired. The potential downside to this transit is a bit of carelessness with details and forgetfulness at times. This may especially be the case in the first half of the day. Avoid taking on too many responsibilities. Conversations may not be clear. The Moon moves into your privacy sector early afternoon. While more clarity is likely, you are inclined to need a little break from the regular hustle and bustle, and it’s a good time to do so.

Pisces
Mercury’s extended stay in your intimacy sector has likely prompted quite a bit of soul-searching, dear Pisces, and this is likely to continue until early November. However, in the coming weeks, there is increasing clarity about intimate matters, as well as psychological insight into your own motivations and those of people close to you. You are likely drawn to solving multi-layered problems and mysteries, and some of you could be doing some important research. It’s also a good time to sort out financials. The first half of today, however, can involve some confusing signals or wrong reads of a situation. Try not to expect too much from people, as all relationships have moments of being out of sync or slightly disconnected. disconnects. Early afternoon, life becomes a little clearer, and you’re likely to find that narrowing your focus or prioritizing can help improve your mood. ENDS
