Here's Your Horoscope For Today: October 16, 2020

In this October 16 daily horoscope, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

A new moon usually marks a time for a fresh start and setting intentions for things we want to accomplish or manifest, but with today's New Moon in Libra under duress from planets in hardnosed Capricorn and aggressive Mars retrograde in Aries, today's new moon requires that we make some adjustments in moving forward rather than beginning anything brand new. Of course, with Mercury also retrograde, now's the time for reevaluation and reassessment.

For many of us, the Libra New Moon will require that we establish balance in our lives by releasing something we might think is significant to us and our happiness, but upon closer inspection, we realize it's not. Doing this might require confronting a deep seated fear, considering the needs of others before our own, or moving past limiting thinking or beliefs. However, we're reminded that we're not alone in doing this work. We're all in this together.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your October 2020 monthly horoscopes.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aries (March 21-April 19)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Taurus (April 20-May 20)

If you've been secretly dealing with anxiety, or ignoring how you really feel about something, today pushes you to take better care of your well-being by addressing your fears or deep-seated feelings. Air it out.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
