Here's Your Horoscope For Today: October 8, 2020
We could find ourselves feeling moodier than usual.
In this October 8 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.
The Moon moves home to tenderhearted Cancer late this morning, heightening our feels and our need for warmth and nurturing. When the Moon is stationed in Cancer, it's usually a time when we're in the mood to spend time with loved ones, indulge in comfort foods, and cocoon ourselves away from the world. It's also a time where we can be more gentle and nurturing toward others.
Under today's sky, we could find ourselves feeling moodier than usual too, which is why it's also a good idea to slow down and take our time with ourselves and others, especially as the Cancer Moon goes on to face off with wounded Chiron in Aries by late tonight, making us feel extra sensitive. Though for those of us who could use some rest and some love and affection, having the Moon in Cancer is perfect timing.
Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your October 2020 monthly horoscopes.
