This reading is for October 18th, 2019. I am experimenting with publishing a day or two in advance.

The Moon in Gemini is in a bit of a hot seat today as it moves into the apex of a yod (aka Finger of God). We may feel uneasy, bemused, and confused. Mercury in Scorpio likes to dig up and communicate uncomfortable truths that everyone else has swept under the rug. Pluto in Capricorn is also ready for some tough realities to surface. But the Gemini Moon will not want to emotionally process what rises to the surface. The Tower card suggests that whatever erupts today couldn't have been avoided. The pressure has built to such a degree that a release valve has to be opened. We can all take solace that it's ultimately for the best.

Because this was such an intriguing tarot card/Yod pairing, I pulled a few clarifying cards: The King of Cups reversed and the 8 of Wands reversed. Whatever rug is pulled out from under us today may involve emotionally manipulative masculine energy, lots of frenetic, ill-advised communications (emails, texts, phone calls), and wasted energy. Interesting!
