Sunday is the day of the Sun, and it is in Libra, pulling us toward the people we live with and get along with. The Moon is in Cancer, lit at 49 percent, and exactly at its last quarter, meaning half of it has already gone and what remains is to gather the week's harvest. Today we read the signs by element, because fire, earth, air and water greet the same Moon in four different ways. The home table weighs more today than any meeting outside.

The Sky Today

At the last quarter the Sun and the Moon are 90 degrees apart, and today this is a quarrel between Libra and Cancer, two cardinal signs, both used to leading. Libra pulls toward the partner and the arrangement, Cancer pulls toward family and old habits, so there will be a tug-of-war between "we're going out" and "we're staying in." The Moon in Cancer is at home and makes feelings stronger than calculations, while the Sun on Sunday gives everyone a need to be noticed. The day is good for finishing something personal, not for a new arrangement with strangers.

Fire Signs

The fire signs feel the Moon in Cancer as a brake: they want to set off, but the body wants a blanket. Today their strength lies in warming someone, not in leading them forward.

♈ Aries

The Sun illuminates the part of your sky responsible for the partner, and today the other person will want a decision from you: where, when and with whom. The Moon in Cancer keeps you close to home and to your parents, so you will find yourself between two tables and two invitations. The wisest thing is to let your partner choose the afternoon, while you take the morning for your loved ones. Don't start an argument about money before dinner; today words are remembered for a long time.

♌ Leo

Sunday is traditionally your day, but the Moon is in the house of seclusion and stops you from shining in front of an audience. The body will want a quiet morning, with coffee and no noise, and only in the afternoon will you have energy for people. Health is the area that won't tolerate delay today: if something has been hurting you for a week, book a doctor's appointment for Monday right now. In the evening, a walk in the park will restore your mood better than company.

♐ Sagittarius

Shared money is the topic of the day: a bill with your partner, an old debt, something you "will sort out sometime." The Moon in Cancer makes this conversation more emotional than it needs to be, so conduct it with pen and paper, not with memories. Don't lend money today, even to someone close, and don't sign anything on a Sunday. The evening is good for a quiet film at home; the nerves need rest.

Earth Signs

The earth signs feel comfortable with the Moon in Cancer, because both elements value the secure and the familiar. The day gives them a calm mind for money, food and small household repairs.

♉ Taurus

The Moon passes through the house of short conversations and neighbors, so the phone and the front door will be busier than usual. A brother, sister or old friend from the neighborhood has something to tell you, and it concerns family, not work. Give them an hour in person, not ten minutes on the phone. Drive carefully on familiar streets; today distraction comes exactly where you have driven a thousand times.

♍ Virgo

The day is for friends: the Moon is in the house of company, and someone will invite you to lunch or to visit. The danger for you is taking over the organization of the whole table and ending up exhausted while the others laugh. Today bring one dish and nothing more. If an old acquaintance calls after a long silence, listen to them to the end; they are seeking support, not advice.

♑ Capricorn

The Moon is opposite your sign, in the house of the partner, and today the other person has more say than you. You will want to fix things and impose order, but Cancer wants to be heard. Listen for ten minutes without interrupting; today that is the most useful thing you can do for the relationship. If you are single, an invitation from someone you have known for a long time may turn out to be more than friendly.

Air Signs

The air signs today think faster than they feel, and so they easily overlook someone's mood. The Moon in Cancer asks them to fall silent for a minute and hear what is not being said to them.

♊ Gemini

Money is at the center of your day: the Moon is in the house of income, and the waning phase suggests counting, not spending. Count how much is left until the next paycheck and write down the three largest payments for October. If you are wondering whether to buy something for the home, postpone it by a week; after the new moon you will think more clearly. In the evening choose something quiet and inexpensive; today pleasure is not in the price.

♎ Libra

The Sun is with you and makes you the center of every room, while the Moon in Cancer is up above, in the house of work and reputation, reminding you of Monday. The tension between these two points is a tug-of-war between "let me rest" and "let me prepare the week." Write the Monday list in three points and put the notebook away; more won't help. In the afternoon give time to the person beside you; today they are watching you more than you think.

♒ Aquarius

Today you look at daily routine and health: the Moon passes through the house of work and habits, and the waning phase helps you drop one bad habit. Cook for three days ahead, so Monday and Tuesday will go more easily. Light exercise in the morning, twenty minutes, is enough; don't sign up for a marathon. If a colleague writes on Sunday, reply briefly and close the subject until tomorrow.

Water Signs

The water signs are in their element: the Moon in Cancer gives them intuition and a long memory. The risk is sinking into old memories and losing the afternoon there.

♋ Cancer

The Moon is in your sign and everything is felt twice as strongly: the fatigue, the hurt, and the joy of an ordinary breakfast. The day is for the body: sleep late, eat something warm, soup or something baked, and don't plan a long trip. If someone asks you "what's wrong," answer briefly and honestly instead of saying "nothing." Look at one old photo and put it away; it is not a day for digging through the whole album.

♏ Scorpio

The Moon is in the house of distant roads and learning, and today your thoughts run to another city or to relatives who live far away. If you travel, set off before noon; in the afternoon fatigue comes quickly and the road becomes longer. It is a good day to read something you have been putting off for months; one chapter is enough. A conversation with someone in another place will give you an answer you can't find at home.

♓ Pisces

The Moon in Cancer brings you warmth in the house of love, children and everything you do with your hands. In the afternoon spend time with a child, a nephew or niece, or with a handicraft you have left in a drawer. In your relationship today, don't seek big conversations; one small gesture, a cooked breakfast or a note, says more. Beware of promises made in a moment of tenderness; by evening they will weigh on you.

If you have one postponed household task, finish it by noon: in the afternoon the Moon in Cancer pulls toward the sofa and memories, and the work is left for next Sunday.
