Here’s Your Horoscope For The Long Weekend: October 9-12, 2020

In this horoscope for October 9-12, 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 could be riding the waves of the emotion ocean for the next few days as there's a four-way face-off between the Moon in tenderhearted Cancer, planets in hardnosed Capricorn, the Sun in fair-minded Libra, and Mars in headstrong Aries on Friday and Saturday. Under this planetary mash-up, we could feel pressurized to respond or react to people and situations that get under our skin. Given how charged the atmosphere will be, it won't be hard for things to get under our skin, especially as chatty Mercury is also prepping to go retrograde in instinctual Scorpio, which can make communications both choppy and pointed.

On Saturday evening, the Moon moves to self-expressive Leo, which on the brighter side, could put us in the mood to play and let off some steam. Though on the flip side, there could be a lot of ego to go around too, namely when the Leo Moon squares off with eccentric Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Scorpio on Sunday afternoon. In order to avoid getting sucked into unnecessary drama and conserve our energy for more pressing matters, we'll need to lean into the energy of Mars retrograde and slow down before making any moves or decisions.

Come Monday, the skies calm down significantly as the Moon in Leo teams up with the Sun in pleasure-seeking Libra and enthusiastic Mars in Aries. Under this cosmic-combo we're encouraged to actively seek out people and things that bring us pleasure and joy. Meanwhile, Mercury in Scorpio teams up with thoughtful Venus in Virgo to help us talk things through.
