The Moon is 43 percent illuminated today and continues to wane after the last quarter. In astrology, this is a time for gathering in. About seven days pass from the last quarter to the new moon, and during them things are finished and cleared away, while nothing new is begun. The Moon is in the final degrees of Leo, one step from Virgo, so the desire to show ourselves off gives way to the question "what have I actually accomplished." Tuesday is the day of Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, where the Sun is, and there is strength for one hard task, not for five.

The Sky Today

When the Moon is waning and passing through the last degrees of Leo, tradition says the noise around an undertaking dies down and only the work itself remains. With its entry into Virgo, things become everyday and practical: lists, bills, order in the closet and in the schedule. Mercury and Venus remain retrograde until mid-November, so repairing an old contract or an old grievance is easier than making a new beginning.

Horoscope by Sign

♈ Aries

Mars rules your sign and today is its day, while the Moon is in your fifth house, which governs pleasures. You have strength enough for three people, but little patience. If you work out, stop at half an hour of moderate load and do not chase a personal record, because after lunch your joints and lower back will let you know about it.

♉ Taurus

Home pulls at you more than work, because the Moon is passing through your fourth house. An elderly relative may ask for attention just when you are busiest. Call early in the morning and arrange a specific day and time for a visit this week, instead of promising "someday."

♊ Gemini

There are many conversations today, and Mercury, your ruler, is still retrograde. A work email written in a hurry will easily be understood the wrong way round. Before you press "Send," read the text once more after ten minutes and remove every sentence that can be understood in two ways.

♋ Cancer

The Moon, your patroness, is in your second house and the thought of money will not leave you alone. The wish to treat yourself to something expensive is strong, and Jupiter in Leo strengthens it even more. Set yourself a rule: every purchase over 50 euros waits until tomorrow morning.

♌ Leo

The Moon's last day in your sign gives you charm and warmth that people sense at first glance. In love this is good, as long as you do not wait for your partner to guess on their own what you want. Ask for one specific thing for the evening, for example who cooks or where to go out, and you will see how they relax.

♍ Virgo

Before the Moon enters your sign, the body wants rest, not new tasks. The twelfth house, where it is now, governs fatigue and things behind the scenes. Go to bed at least an hour earlier than usual and air out the bedroom for ten minutes before sleep.

♎ Libra

Friends and shared plans come to the fore, because the Moon is in your eleventh house. Someone in the group will suggest something fun that costs more than you would like. State the amount you can give right at the start, instead of agreeing and regretting it later.

♏ Scorpio

The Sun is in your sign, and the Moon lights up the tenth house of career, so your bosses are watching you more closely. Praise is possible, and so is criticism. Prepare a short note on what you have accomplished since the beginning of October, with two or three concrete figures, and carry it to every meeting.

♐ Sagittarius

Fiery Leo is akin to your sign and today it pulls you far afield: toward trips, courses and new books. Retrograde Mercury makes travel plans more capricious than usual. If you book a ticket or a hotel, check the dates and the name against your passport twice, and put off enrolling in a course until the middle of the month.

♑ Capricorn

The eighth house, through which the Moon passes, awakens the theme of shared money, loans and inheritances. Someone may remind you of an old debt, or you may remember someone else's. Sit down with a notebook, write down who owes whom how much and since when, then settle at least one of these things today.

♒ Aquarius

The Moon stands opposite your sign, so the day revolves around your partner, in love or in business. He or she wants recognition more than usual, and you are inclined to analyze instead of listen. Begin the evening conversation with something you are grateful for, and only then get to the problem.

♓ Pisces

The sixth house takes in the moonlight and daily duties pile up in small pieces. The body hints that your routine is limping, especially if you eat lunch on the go. Drink a glass of water every two hours and get up for at least five minutes between tasks.

About six days remain until the new moon in Scorpio, so the list of unfinished tasks made today will still be needed on Monday.
