In this Oct. 20 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.

The day is a bit of a mixed bag with the moon in happy-go-lucky Sagittarius making nice with the planets one moment and then facing off with them at the next. The day gets off to a bit of a foggy start as the moon squares off with confusing Neptune in Pisces in the early morning. While this moon-Neptune combo isn't the best time for decision-making, it is a good time for easing into the day and pursuing more creative activities.

Later in morning, the moon in Sagittarius teams up with enthusiastic Mars in Aries, giving us extra energy and oomph where we need it. Though with the moon also squaring off with pleasure planet Venus in pragmatic Virgo, we're reminded not to get too carried away. By late tonight the energy evens out for the better as the Sagittarius moon teams up with the sun in beauty and balance-seeking Libra, making it a good time for getting into anything that makes us feel good.

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