There’s strength in numbers, Gemini. With today’s almost-full Aries moon illuminating your ninth house of teamwork, seek out ways to join forces with other like-minded go-getters. Whether you realize it or not, there are quite a few people who would love to advance your brilliant vision, and the moon’s sextile to enthusiastic Jupiter will reveal them. Take a closer look at those around you, consider how they could contribute and then bring them officially on board. Playtime can also amp up productivity, so organize lunch outside the office or a meetup for happy hour drinks. Don’t underestimate the power of laughter—even when getting ‘er done!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday October 16
Destiny could come knocking on your office door today, Cancer. An almost-full moon in Aries and your ambitious tenth house sets the stage for making a key connection with a mover and shaker. If you have a chance to prep, ensure that every aspect of your presentation shines like a Bulgari diamond. When dialoguing, don’t be afraid to ask thoughtful questions—especially if you don’t have any bright insights to add to the conversation. Showing interest is a sign of respect, which can help clear the rungs for your ascent. Banish preconceptions about who the “right” person could be. With the moon in a simpatico sextile to inspiring Jupiter, a guardian angel type could emerge from an unlikely source.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday October 16
Double shot of truth serum, coming up! Honesty is the only policy under today’s almost-full moon in Aries and your call-it-like-you-see-it ninth house. And with la luna receiving a sextile from outspoken Jupiter, it might even be a triple. Diplomacy has its place, Leo, but there comes a time when you need to stand up for yourself. Try to make everyone happy, and you could end up sacrificing your vision. SO not worth it. If a collaboration is bringing you nothing but stress, face facts and move on. Greener pastures await.

A seductive undercurrent permeates your interactions today, courtesy of the almost-full Aries moon in your erotic eighth house.

Dynamic tension will increase the intensity of your interactions—and make the pursuit a hundred times hotter. Couples could be low-key-jealous all day. Don’t get swept up in a wave of insecurity. Instead, focus on fulfilling your own desires—that will get their attention! When in doubt, talk it out. A sextile from honest Jupiter can help you clear the air.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday October 16
Balance the scales of give-and-take, Libra. Today’s almost-full moon in your partnership sector calls for better equilibrium in your close relationships. It might be easy to drag your feet on certain tasks or do more than your fair share without drawing attention to it. In time, though, resentment could rear its ugly head. Think proactively and ask for what you need. And instead of turning to your go-to person, reach out for support from someone new so you don’t drain anyone dry.

Skip the elevator and take the stairs, or get off the bus a couple stops early. Cut back on caffeine by alternating a cup of coffee with a glass of water infused with fresh lemon, which alkalizes your drink. Every little bit helps. With the moon in a sextile to adventurous Jupiter, getting out into wide-open spaces—even just planning a trip—could be part of your overall wellness plan.
