In this October 6 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 air is buzzing today thanks to the Moon entering chatty Gemini in the wee hours of the morning. When the emotional Moon is in Gemini, we're likely to find ourselves in the mood to gather and share information, socialize, and entertain a variety of interests at the same time. Though with the Moon in Gemini squaring off with love planet Venus in detail-oriented Virgo at the start of the day, our usual go-to activities may not be as enjoyable or we may not find ourselves on the same page with others.

The best way to handle this face-off between the Gemini Moon and Venus in Virgo, is to focus on things that can help to improve our well-being or the well-being of others. By the afternoon, the Moon goes on to meet up with wounded Chiron in Aries, which asks us to use our voice or influence to speak up on behalf of others.
