We’re constantly fascinated by what our zodiac sign says about our lives, whether it's which signs are most compatible or how each sign handles conflict in relationships. That's why Bustle has enlisted Mecca Woods, a New York City-based astrologer of MyLifeCreated.com, to tell us all about how astrology is affecting our lives each day. Today's topic: your daily horoscope for Oct. 5, 2017.
That electricity we're feeling today comes courtesy of the Full Moon in Aries (2:40 p.m. EST), which means that today marks a period of letting go or completion. Under an Aries Moon specifically, we're called to reach down deep, find the fire in our bellies, the courage to let go, and to stand in our power. Though cool-headed Mercury in Libra will be on hand, helping to keep the fire from raging out of control.
If there's something we've been afraid to move on from, the Aries Moon can help us to find the confidence we need to go for what we want. This is especially significant as Venus and Mars meet up in Virgo today, giving us the green light when it comes to finalizing agreements or decisions around love and money. By the late evening, the Aries Moon squares off with Pluto in Capricorn, cranking up the intensity and the possibility for power struggles. We'll have to look to Venus and Mars in Virgo to help us with staying rational and objective.
Read below to see what today's stars mean for your sign.
And remember to tune into Bustle's weekly horoscopes video live on Facebook every other Monday at 5 p.m. EST for a rundown of your weekly horoscope.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It's time to let go, Taurus. Something you've been resisting or holding on to for dear life is about to reach its finale, especially if it's been affecting your happiness and well-being. Now's not the time for stubbornness, but for finding the courage to make a change. Something better is coming.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Who's on Team Gemini? That could be the question you're most concerned with today as your friendships and associations are called into the spotlight. You could have a falling out with a friend or make the commitment to seek out more people in which you have something in common. Find your tribe.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Get ready to level up! It's all about your professional life right now and if you haven't been happy where you are, you could find yourself making a sharp exit, while other Cancers could be taking a step up in their field of choice.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
You're reminded of the good things that can happen when you let your heart lead you and you shoot for the stars.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
You. Are. On. Fire. Just about anything or anyone you want could be yours today, so it's best to be super clear about what that is. Overall, this is your chance to reclaim your power and remember just how strong, sexy, and special you are. You don't need to beg for scraps from anyone.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
Partnership remains the focus for you as you could be taking a relationship (either romantic or professional) to the next level. On the other hand, if you haven't felt as appreciated as you should, you could decide to walk out on one too. Though that's fine because you're creating space for something better.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
If you've fallen off track with a goal, you could find the discipline you need today to get back on board. Meanwhile, when it comes to your professional life, you could decide to move on to something much better, especially if the relationship with your employer has been a toxic one.

A major opportunity could come through for you today, especially if you work in a creative field. Meanwhile, you could launch a project that catapults you into the spotlight.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
A home or family related matter could come up today which pushes you to challenge your family's legacy or emotional conditioning/beliefs passed down to you. You don't have to follow in your parents' steps. You're here to define what life means to you, for you. Moving or relocating could be an option.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
You have a ton of ideas and opinions, which means somewhere there's an audience ready for you. Today you could decide to start that book or plan that talk to connect with that audience. Overall, when you speak up about what you're passionate about, you win. Your finances also get a much needed boost.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
Your finances are still on the agenda as you could receive a promising job offer or new client. If your spending has been out of control, today could also mark the end of your old money habits, while you could find the extra income you need to get out of debt. Working with a financial expert might be of help.
