October's full Moon lands in Taurus, the sign of comfort and money. It's a bright night to see what you'd keep, and what just costs you.
You know the envelope. Face-down by the keys, getting a little heavier every time you make coffee.

Rise and set times tonight, local time in each city. "Fully dark" = end of astronomical twilight; Moonset and planet rises after midnight fall on the next morning.
Looking east-southeast from New York at 9 p.m. EDT: the Moon (99% lit, 32° up) and Saturn (magnitude 0.4, 40° up). The Moon and Saturn are about 37° apart.Computed from NASA JPL DE442 and the Yale Bright Star Catalogue by Shymea. Moon inset: NASA Scientific Visualization Studio (visualisation, public domain).
The table on this page lists every planet's motion for today. A planet marked Retrograde appears to move backward through the zodiac from Earth's point of view; it is ordinary apparent motion, not a fault in the sky.
What sign is the Moon in today?
The Moon's sign and degree are in the table above, with its phase and illumination. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so this page is rebuilt every morning.
Is this a horoscope?
No. This is the shared sky, the same for everyone. A horoscope by sign guesses at meaning from one placement. To see how today's sky lands on your own chart, use the transits-today tool, which compares today's planets to your birth positions.
How are the positions calculated?
Geocentric tropical longitudes computed from the JPL DE442 ephemeris for 12:00 UTC on the date shown, using Skyfield. Aspects are listed with their orb, the distance from exact, and whether they are applying or separating.
