Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday October 20
A sweet sync-up of fearless Mars and curious Mercury in Scorpio and your focused eighth house can wipe the windshield and offer up a clear new perspective. Your bold sign never shies away from creative solutions and under today’s transformational vibe you’ll be able to open your mind wider than ever. (Hint: It might involve dropping a grudge or saying you’re sorry.) Since this realm also rules joint ventures, you could be teaming up with someone romantically OR on a for-profit basis. Either way, you score!

Even if you’re not looking for love, it may just find YOU
today, Taurus. With lusty Mars aligned with venturesome Mercury in

You’ll be ready
to pump up your fitness regimen under today’s motivational mashup of
sporty Mars and active Mercury in your wellness zone. As the action star
of the skies, Mars might inspire you to try a new class or tap a friend
to be your workout buddy. This realm rules all things that have to do
with your health (and self-care), so you might want to dine IN, finally
doing something with those root vegetables you scooped up at the
farmer’s market. While you’re taking care of numero uno, about getting a
bodywork appointment on the books?
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 20

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 20
Perceptive Mercury and
larger-than-life Mars team up in Scorpio and your third house of ideas,
communication and collaborative ventures. Figuring things out alone, is
the LAST thing you want to do. You’re on a mission to connect with as
many people as possible and set some of these noble pursuits into
motion. Start with one or two well-connected influencers and you could
save yourself hours if not days of outreach. Ah, so THIS is how it feels
to have your mind on fire!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 20
This Monday could already
bring in a windfall, thanks to a propitious pairing of can-do Mars and
tapped-in Mercury in your financial sector. This could signal the
fruit-bearing part of a harvest you planted a while back or it might be
an unexpected payday from a move you recently made. Either way, your
coffers should be a little plumper, which could inspire a little splurge
at a favorite boutique or upscale dining emporium. But heed those
classic words of wisdom: Don’t spend it all in one place!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday October 20
It’s “Go” time, Scorpio! Your strategic sign may have been sitting on a
big decision, trying to read the tea leaves while waiting to see which
way the wind was blowing. You may have felt you were being smart, but
bottom line: Both of those activities have kept you immobilized. No more
waffling! Today, as active Mars syncs up with experimental Mercury in
your sign, force yourself to take action one way or another. Even the
“worst-case scenario” is going to be way better than sitting around
unable to act.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday October 20
Today, snap out of “auto-responder”
mode and tap into your forthright self as bold Mars, aligns with
straight-shooting Mercury in your twelfth house of introspection and
healing. If you’ve been keeping any thoughts, feelings or opinions
buried inside, chances are they’re limiting you energetically. You don’t
have to go on the offensive, but when someone (sincerely) asks what’s
going on, that’s your cue to give them a truthful answer—especially if
they’re part of what you’re holding in!

with one of your killer mic drops.
