In this Oct. 23 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.

Things may feel a bit stop and go today. Most of the go-go-go energy comes courtesy of the emotional Moon moving into excitable and freedom-loving Aquarius in the early morning. However, with the confident Sun and chatty Mercury (which is still retrograde) in instinctive Scorpio, we're being asked to slow down and be more intentional with our passions and our actions, particularly as the Moon in Aquarius faces off with these planets over the course of the day.

On the bright side, the mashup of planets in Aquarius and Scorpio can give us the determination and innovative thinking needed to push past an obstacle or to spark true change. We'll just need to be mindful of dealing with overbearing types or taking a my way or the highway stance when it comes to dealing with others. By the evening, the Aquarius Moon teams up with wounded Chiron in Aries, which encourages us to lean on our communities to find the courage we need to move forward.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your October 2020 monthly horoscope.
