Horoscope for Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You want to talk to others in an engaged way. You don’t want to waste time in superficial chitchat, you want to talk about something meaningful. Be careful how you react to others. Take a moment to really hear them and think how you want to respond.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today it’s easy to emotionally identify with your possessions and your values. (This is why you might be unwilling to part with something or lend it to someone.) It’s also why you might find that you’re defending yourself in areas where there is really nothing at stake.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The moon moves into your sign to stay for two days. When this happens, it heightens your emotions and increases your need to belong to others. You will feel more sympathetic to others because you are sensitive to their needs. (Meanwhile, your luck is slightly better!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Lately, your focus has been on home and family. Today and tomorrow, this will increase because you want privacy and a chance to work alone or behind the scenes. You’re not being antisocial. You just need some time for yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today your contact with friends and groups is important to you. You feel the need to create a deeper bond. In fact, you might feel more protective or supportive to someone than usual. It’s a good day to share your hopes for the future with someone. Why not?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your professional and business concerns are your focus today because the moon is at the top of your chart. What you do might be on display to the public — for example, you might have a public argument with a loved one. It’s easy to blur the distinction between professional and personal relationships.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you want to “get away from it all.” You want to escape! You want stimulation and adventure! To satisfy this urge, do something different. It doesn’t have to be a big deal; it just has to be different. Go someplace you’ve never been before. You need to look at your surroundings with fresh eyes.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your emotional experiences will be more intense today. Many of you will be involved with details concerning shared property, inheritances, wills, estates and the wealth or assets of your partner. You might also desire something that belongs to someone else. Hmmm.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the moon is opposite your sign drawing your attention to your most personal relationships. Conflicts will be more emotional. (Guard against knee-jerk reactions.) Ideally, you have to be accommodating and cooperative to use this moon correctly. (You can do this.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be involved in something where you have to put the considerations for the welfare of someone else before your own. You’re not being a martyr; this is just what’s happening. If possible, set aside some time to get better organized in the nitty-gritty details of your life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a fun-loving day because the moon has just entered a playful part of your chart. Romance, love affairs, social outings, playful times with kids and sports events will all appeal! You will feel very nurturing to children. (The moon is overprotective.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It will please you to cocoon at home today and find a private place where you can hide - preferably with a nice drink and nosh. Basically, you need to feel pampered, and especially, you need the emotional reassurance of relaxing in familiar surroundings.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Elisabeth Shue (1963) shares your birthday. You are sociable, helpful and ambitious. You also have a wonderful imagination. This year will be a more relaxed for you. Do your best to cooperate because your interactions with others will be important. Always look for ways to be kind and helpful. If you are open when engaging with others, your business and personal relationships will benefit you.
