Your daily horoscopes for Thursday October 17, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
Whether you grab a megaphone or drop the mic, today brings a fabulous opportunity to broadcast your message! The skies feature the year’s only full moon in your sign—a supermoon no less—which is like having the spotlight trained on you for the next two weeks (prime manifesting time). If you’ve been consumed with a mission for the past half-year, it might finally be time to put it out into the world. Get over the illusion of needing it to be “perfect.” What you need is to have it DONE so you can move on to your next brilliant project!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
What have you been holding onto—or clutching with a fierce grip—that you know isn’t helping you in any way? Chances are, there’s more than one thing that fits the bill, Bull, and whether you feel “ready” to let it go or not is almost beside the point. Today, as the year’s only full (super)moon in Aries electrifies your twelfth house of release, transitions and healing, you may just decide to tear off the bandage. Once you’re on the other side, you’ll wish you had done that sooner!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
You have a million names in your contact list, Gemini, but are you clear on the difference between acquaintances, associates and true friends? Today’s activating Aries full supermoon—in your eleventh house of community—can help you curate your contact list so you can focus on the people who matter most. You lose a lot of energy keeping such a big list even in the back of your mind. In the coming weeks, focus exclusively on your soul squad and see what synergies get sparked.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
Your professional life could hit a high point today or over the coming two weeks thanks to the arrival of the Aries full supermoon in your tenth house of ambition and success. A project you’ve been immersed in for the past many months may come to fruition—OR reach the undeniable point of diminishing returns. The trick is to recognize when the moment comes and get out at the perfect right time. Think about what your next big career goal is, set your GPS, then get right back to work!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
What important truth have you been holding in for so long you’re afraid it’ll gush out too strongly? The thing is, Leo, it’s probably got to come out at SOME point, so you might as well stack the deck in your favor with timing. Today marks the full (super)moon in fellow spontaneous fire sign Aries and your truth-telling ninth house. If you’re more concerned with the other person’s reactions than you are with clearing the air, summon the courage to be diplomatic but direct.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
Have you been in limbo about a relationship, Virgo, feeling it’s too valuable to lose but not amazing enough to commit to? One way or another, today’s full supermoon in decisive Aries and your eighth house of intimacy and soul-merging can help you make up your mind. Talk it through (exhaustively!) with a friend or healer, but plan to make the call within the next two weeks—for both your sakes. Already attached? What are you craving that you’re not getting? Ask and you shall—or at least MIGHT—receive!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
You love them, you love them…maybe? Why is this such an impossible decision to make, Libra? Either you want to commit and get to know someone better or you don’t. All this uncertainty isn’t helping you make up your mind! But today, under the decisive beams of the Aries full supermoon in your partnership house, you may get clarity. And if you don’t by EOD, give yourself two weeks (peak manifesting time), then a plan to take action.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
If you’re running out of excuses for not getting your wellness game on, today’s activating Aries full supermoon in your healthy sixth house should bring welcome inspiration! But please don’t beat yourself up for things you did or didn’t do earlier in the year. With so much on your plate, not to mention stress, it’s amazing that you accomplished any of your health or fitness goals! Still, this is a powerful moment to set some concrete goals and slowly and steadily work toward them over the coming six months.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
We understand why you’re so comfy in those yoga pants and sneakers, Archer. But with today’s provocative Aries full supermoon electrifying your fifth house of fame and turning heads your way, you could put out an SOS to the glam squad. And with magnetic Venus entering your sign from today until November 11, you’ve got even more of the It factor. Whether you’re leading meetings IRL or are just another face in the Zoom gallery, people ARE observing you. If you’re hoping for a promotion or new gig, you can’t downplay the power of a strong first impression. You’ve got what it takes; now just dress to impress!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17
“Too much work” isn’t a phrase in your lexicon, Capricorn, but if you’ve been burning the candle at both ends trying to get a big project out the door, you may learn its meaning firsthand. Today’s Aries full supermoon in your domestic quarters could serve as a wake-up call, letting you know that someone (or ones) isn’t happy with the work-home life “balance” you’ve been keeping. Before things get out of control, limit your work hours and give a lot more TLC to your family and closest friends.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday October 17

The Aries full supermoon helps you bring one chapter to completion even as you look ahead to new ways of being a savvier money manager. But you’ll have to be tough on yourself, especially the part that loves fashion and gorgeous home decor. Come up with a budget you can stick with, but build in a couple of indulgences so you don’t rebel!
