In this October 19 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.

It's an action-packed kind of a day with the moon moving into over-the-top Sagittarius in the wee hours of the morning, which could have us in a restless kind of a mood. Couple the energy of the Sagittarius moon with aggressive Mars in Aries and we might find it hard to contain ourselves, especially as Mars faces off with expansive Jupiter in Capricorn. At the same time, it could be difficult not to say things in the moment that we might regret later as chatty Mercury in Scorpio opposes surprising Uranus in Taurus by late tonight. As a result of this planetary mashup, we may need exercise some patience and caution before speeding ahead with a decision or jumping to conclusions or into a situation considering that Mars and Mercury are still retrograde.

On a lighter note, today's cosmic weather can be helpful when it comes to brainstorming ideas or seeking out innovative solutions to a difficult problem. Together, the planets push us to rethink our approach and to see things from a different perspective. When the Moon is in Sagittarius, we're called to broaden our minds and our worldview, while the Mercury-Uranus opposition challenges us to think outside the box.
