Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Trust could get tricky when retrograde Venus in your sharing sector spars with shadowy Pluto in your humanity house today. Maybe you feel compelled to disclose something to a person you have some qualms about. Or perhaps you’re craving closeness while worrying about getting in too deep. With Venus in reverse, nothing you decide right now has to be permanent. Resist the temptation to get into a back-and-forth, and keep your own counsel until the picture clears.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Jealousy might rear its ugly head in an important relationship, especially if one of you is enjoying more success at the moment. Rather than competing, try celebrating each other’s wins, whether your bond is platonic, romantic or professional. With Venus retrograde in your partnership house, an old rivalry could resurface alongside it. If you seem to be heading in different directions, harmony may be hard to maintain. Just be careful not to manipulate anyone onto the same page with you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
“My way or the highway” probably won’t get the job done today, Twin. As retrograde Venus in your productive sixth house clashes with dominant Pluto in your principled ninth, you might be tempted to convince your colleagues that you know THE best approach. Or maybe you’re not loving your work right now because you’re questioning its deeper meaning. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Venus in reverse is prime time for reassessing, so find what joy you can in being useful while you sort out the bigger question.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Hot and heavy? Or easy breezy? It could be hard to know what you want when retrograde Venus in your ardent fifth house clashes with intense Pluto in your sexy eighth. An attraction might heat up a little too fast for your taste, or your head and your heart could be sending different signals. With the love planet backing up, this discord may stem from an old issue you never quite resolved. Probe your psyche for answers rather than rushing into something you don’t fully understand.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Try not to let an interaction escalate today when retrograde Venus in your domestic zone locks horns with heavyweight Pluto in your relationship realm. You could have an intense encounter with someone close to you, possibly a relative, roommate or significant other. The last thing you need is a power struggle, especially over something you thought was settled months ago. Whether you’re the one stirring up drama or someone else is strong-arming you, steer clear of manipulation.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Before you press send on a text or email, open your mouth to speak or post something online, reconsider your words. Retrograde Venus in your communication court is at odds with intense Pluto, so no matter how nice you sound in your head, your message could land harsher than you intended. Venus in reverse also has a way of resurrecting conversations you’d rather leave buried. If the stress of your workload or everyday busyness is getting the best of you, silence is golden, Virgo.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
You want what you want, but are you sure it’s worth it? Retrograde Venus in your second house of self-esteem, personal values and finances is clashing with intense Pluto in your fulfillment-seeking fifth house today. So whether you’re craving a particular purchase or person, your desire could become overpowering and cloud your judgment. With the love planet backing up, consider holding off on a big-ticket buy. Jeopardizing your self-confidence or your budget under these stormy skies isn’t worth it.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Trouble on the home front, or perhaps your own dark and stormy mood, could disturb your peace today when retrograde Venus in Scorpio spars with your ruling planet, intense Pluto, in your domestic fourth house. With the love planet reversing through your sign, you may need to dig a little to understand what’s going on, but that beats plastering on a smile. Tread gently and sit with your own emotions rather than casting blame. Whether the problem is coming from inside the house or inside your psyche, the only person you can control is YOU.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Your intentions are good, but your methods might not be above reproach today as retrograde Venus in your subconscious twelfth house clashes with powerful Pluto in your communicative third. Maybe you meant to say something sweet, but a control-freak impulse got in the way and the message came off as manipulative. With Venus in reverse, an old regret could bubble up here too. Try to be honest with yourself about what’s really going on. You don’t have to be a saint, Sagittarius. You just need to be willing to apologize if you mess up.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
Money could get funny if you mix it with friendship today. Chalk it up to a spat between retrograde Venus in your eleventh house of groups and controlling Pluto in your second house of values. Be careful not to play the always destructive “compare and despair” game. What other people possess shouldn’t be your focus now. And with Venus backing up, an unsettled debt between friends could resurface, so handle it with more grace than urgency.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
You’re trying to behave like a pro and wrap power players around your little finger, but are you working a little too hard, Aquarius? Today’s run-in between retrograde Venus in your ambitious tenth house and controlling Pluto in your sign suggests your tactics could come across as too domineering for the decision makers’ taste. Take it down a notch if you need to answer to someone. That said, Venus in reverse can be excellent for revisiting a creative project you shelved, and your intensity might produce something powerful this time around.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday October 20
You might undermine yourself today if part of you wants something new while another part is grappling with darker feelings rooted in the past. With retrograde Venus in your growth-oriented ninth house battling powerful Pluto in your subconscious twelfth, old emotions could easily surface. That tends to be the nature of a backspin. Face them so you can reconcile them with what you want now, and recognize your own complexities while you’re at it.
