In this Oct. 21 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 into hardworking and no-nonsense Capricorn early this morning, putting us in the mood to get down to business and handle our responsibilities for the day. Though with the Moon in Capricorn facing off with wounded Chiron in Aries in the early afternoon, it will be crucial that we're not too hard on ourselves or others when it comes to reaching a goal.

Later in the afternoon, the energy becomes more productive as the Capricorn Moon teams up with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, which encourages us to finish projects and follow-through with commitments that are already on our plate. This Moon-Mercury combo can also be helpful for conversations and negotiations, too. By the evening, love planet Venus in pragmatic Virgo teams up with powerful Pluto in Capricorn, reminding us that anything worth having requires work and discipline to get it. When the Moon teams up with unconventional Uranus in Taurus an hour later, we're called to get innovative.

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