Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
Don’t add another trinket to your cart, Aries! Saturday’s moon in your group sector is about recalling the power of the human connection, the best buzz of all. Make extra room in your schedule to connect with your entourage. Allow conversations to flow without pressure to accomplish a particular goal. When you relax into the moment, you’re bound to have a more inspired discussion anyway. On Sunday, communication planet Mercury slips into Scoripo and your intimate eighth house until November 2. For the next three weeks, bonding with your nearest and dearest becomes top priority. You may decide to take a blossoming relationship to the next level (could it be time to say the L word?), or you and your partner might have a much-needed heart-to-heart. And be honest: Could you let go of some lukewarm associations to make more space for the ones that matter most?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
People-pleasing alert! If you’ve overcommitted yourself, you’ll feel the pressure this Saturday. But don’t keep paddling upstream. If there are too many demands on your time, diplomatically bow out of a promise or three—for the sake of your own sanity. Trust us: Your true friends and supporters won’t give you flak for this. As for the ones who try to guilt-trip you? Remind yourself that their emotions are theirs to manage, and don’t take them on. Starting Sunday, expressive Mercury visits Scorpio and your partnership zone and helps iron out any wrinkles in your closest relationships. Dial down your telltale Taurus stubbornness for the sake of compromise. In turn, your partner will likely be more open to showing you the same respect. Take stock of your platonic relationships too: If a friendship has been more give than take lately (or vice versa), start restoring balance between now and November 2.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
You keep waiting and waiting for “life” to calm down, but guess what? That fast-paced energy isn’t coming from outside of you but from deep within! Your love of excitement creates all the external activity, but even you need an occasional break from the action. On Saturday, adventure calls. Take time to get out in nature and reconnect with your mind, body and soul. On Sunday, your ruling planet, clever Mercury, moves into Scorpio and activates your wellness and admin sector. Between now and November 2, you’ll have plenty of momentum to streamline and systematize your expanding life. The idea of a structured routine might sound boring, but there’s a lot to be said for the stability it provides. Schedule important things like exercise, grocery-shopping, house-cleaning and rest so you can enjoy your social activities even more.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
As Saturday’s Aquarius moon floats through your private eighth house, you’d love nothing more than to disappear into your own zone. Meanwhile, everyone is interrupting you with a thousand questions, comments and “check this out!” pings. Might as well practice your juggling skills. Tonight, reward yourself with a little high-end pampering or a sexy dinner for two somewhere quiet and exclusive. On Sunday, chatty Mercury starts a three-week stint in Scorpio and your dramatic fifth house, pulling you out of your shell and into the spotlight. You’re not always comfortable being scrutinized, but that doesn’t make you any less dynamic to behold. Express your opinions candidly and make sure your name is stamped on all your brilliant ideas. Have you completed work that you’re proud of? Launch a social campaign to spread the word. Your confidence could land you a leadership role at work—or maybe a key role in an artistic or musical endeavor.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
No one has to sell a Leo on the power of partnership—but your sign also has a lot of pride. Saturday’s Aquarius moon nudges you to set aside your superhuman status and let others help you for once. This lunar light will also shine on your romantic relationships. There couldn’t be a better moment for a cuffing season date night, whether it’s with a promising new prospect or your longtime love. On Sunday, Mercury dives into Scorpio and your sentimental fourth house until November 2. Suit up because you could take a plunge into the emotion ocean. Prioritize time with your family and inner circle during this sensitive cycle. You’ll find their company both comforting and uplifting over the next three weeks. No need to wait for the holidays to commune with your clan. Chateau Leo may become the hottest gathering spot in town. Bring on the dinner parties and laid-back crafting and movie nights!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
Fall cleanup: incoming! With Saturday’s Aquarius moon in your sixth house of health and organization, your Virgo urge to purge comes on strong. What better excuse for a self-care and decluttering day could you ask for? Ground yourself with a protein-packed breakfast and your minimum daily requirement of caffeine. Throughout the day, keep your mind engaged by starting and completing doable small tasks and engaging in only brief conversations. Whenever possible, stop and focus on your breath! You’ll be glad you did this because on Sunday, garrulous Mercury (your ruler) sails into Scorpio, activating your third house of communication and cooperation until November 2, and turning you into a networking machine. Whether you’re guiding your squad through a cultural-activities tour or working your superconnector magic, you’ll have endless charisma. If you’re struggling to bring a goal to fruition, embrace the power of partnership. While you’re at it, get your transportation game up to snuff. Update your ride (or organize a ride share) and invest in a digital device to make your commutes more enjoyable.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
Your inner wild child is itching to get out on Saturday, so surrender to your nomadic urges.

Just be sure you know how far you’re willing to go and where to draw the line. On Sunday, things take a turn for the practical as messenger Mercury settles into Scorpio, activating into your second house of security until November 2. Strengthen your financial foundation, Libra.

Even if you’ve got a solid budget in place, think outside the box for new ways to make more bank.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
However busy you are this Saturday, make time to sit down with a friend and have a heart-to-heart. You’ll deepen your connection and let that person know that they’re more important than some assignment that can wait a couple of hours. You’ll benefit as well: Your stress levels will drop, and the bond of friendship will reinforce your highest values, reminding you what really counts. Before the end of the day, call another close friend or relative just to say you’re thinking of them. Flying under the radar won’t be possible starting Sunday, when expressive Mercury moves into your sign until November 2. Forget being modest or settling for a humblebrag; it’s time to self-promote! Worried that people will judge you as being arrogant? Focus on how your skills will benefit others. If you’ve felt out of sync with a friend circle, don’t force the togetherness out of misplaced loyalty. Seek people who share your current interests and make room for those who will help you soar. But look out for anything (or anyone) who feels too hot to handle.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday October 12
Have you been taking things a little too personally lately? Laughter is the best medicine to get you past that hurdle this Saturday, especially if you keep a sense of humor about yourself. Hey, we all get carried away from time to time. If you made a mountain out of a molehill, level the energy off with some levity and a funny card or gift. To blow off steam from the week, do something active, whether it’s a run through the park or a yoga class. On Sunday, it’s time to leave the past in the past. Social Mercury cruises into Scorpio and your healing sector until November 2, helping you snip toxic ties. In addition to warding off the draining soul suckers, pay attention to your inner dialogue. Start replacing self-critical thoughts with tons of self-love and affirmations. If you keep hitting the same frustrating wall in a relationship, take a breather for the next few weeks—or if you know this impasse can’t be healed, break it off for good. But don’t give up before consulting the pros. Therapists, mentors, coaches and spiritual leaders can support you with clearing away the psychic clutter and replacing it with authentic self-confidence.
