In this brief video, astrologer Joni Patry outlines the key planetary influences for Tuesday, October 20, 2026. She notes that the Moon spends most of the day in Capricorn, specifically in the Dhanishta nakshatra, which is ruled by Mars and associated with contention and marital conflict. The Moon opposes Jupiter, a placement that generally promotes agreeableness, but she cautions that Dhanishta’s harsh energy can override this effect. In the evening the Moon moves into Aquarius, approaching the shadow planet Rahu, further intensifying potential discord. Additionally, she highlights an exact square between Venus and Pluto on the 20th, a configuration linked to betrayal and deceptive communication. Patry advises listeners to be especially careful with words and to keep a low profile in relationships on this day.
