In this daily horoscope for October 18, 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.

We might find ourselves breathing a collective sigh of relief today as both Mercury and Jupiter retrograde ends. With the planet of communication (Mercury) and the planet of growth and opportunity (Jupiter) moving forward again, we should find that we’ll have an easier time moving forward too. Meanwhile, the moon moves into enthusiastic Aries early this morning, which also gives us an extra burst of energy.

Once the evening hits, the moon in Aries meets up with supportive Saturn in Aquarius, while Mars in cooperative Libra teams up with Jupiter in Aquarius later tonight. Under this cosmic combination, we can find some extra motivation or encouragement in achieving our goals through the help of others. At the same time, this planetary party can bring some lighthearted vibes to the evening too, giving us a little reprieve from the day’s work.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your October 2021 monthly horoscope.
