October

Your weekly horoscope is here. As we delve deeper into the season of high-society-loving Libra, the focus is on relationships, especially the one-to-ones of all kinds. Find your equilibrium within them and within yourself. Classic Libran and burlesque artist Dita Von Teese celebrates all things beauty through her image and work. She’s known for a slew of quotes about relationships, including (allegedly), “It’s not you. It’s never been you. It’s the DRESS…That dress belongs to another version of you…Let it go.” There’s something about the past—a style, friend, or lover making a guest appearance. If that’s helpful in your journey, then bring it to the fore, but know the limitations and don’t swan about in a comfort zone for too long. Release what doesn’t hold true anymore. We all change and grow, and it’s okay to move with your inner flow, as well as external circumstances and even finances. Trust your vision rather than seeking approval, sacrificing your values, or going backward when you know forward is in the opposite direction. All signs have a shadow side, and Libras tend toward codependence and people pleasing. Don’t sweat trying to please everyone. Remember Dita’s liberating quote if you are. “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” In which case, dress for yourself and place yourself on center court when making important decisions so you can see all your best options. Libra is a sign of equality; factor yourself in equally.

Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of September 28 through October 4, 2025.

Aries (March 21–April 19)

Since it’s Libra season, let’s dive deeper into the sparkling sign opposite you, which is Libra. You share an axis with this sign, which means you’re facing each other in a polarity. There’s something you both share, yet you’re at opposite ends of the equation. You’re all about independent, assertive action, while Libra is all about relating in a partnership. You’ll take the lead while Libra will harmonize. You’ll think you’re in charge…you’re not. Libra is as smooth as silk and as sincere as polyester. Next thing you know, you’ve been coopted, coupled up, and canoodled on the couch. Since your sphere of partnerships is activated, bring consciousness to your relating game. What is it you want out of doubling up with a bestie, bae, or collaborator? You don’t have to do everything solo; however, in part of your life, you do. Find out where you both meet in agreement and go from there because this month, two is better than one.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Since one-to-one pair-ups, collabs, and dynamic duos are the theme of your work and wellness sector, this is your time to shine, together. Wine and dine your work wife; bond over art, beauty, and bubbles. In what way would two be better than one in this department? Connection is essential for wellness and balance, so be sure you’re having those sweet conversations where you feel seen and heard. Arrange with a colleague or friend to chat, and make it a routine. Speaking of buddying up, that could be a fitness buddy to keep you on track with a health routine. Go for energized, strong, and supple. Move your body, but don’t think you have to overdo it. Balance is the key to this month and this sector. Shine at work by letting others know what you’re doing. This is a month of standing out, being seen, and perhaps earning some well-earned recognition. Remember, collaboration is key right now.

Gemini (May 21–June 21)

Libra season is well and truly rolling, with bubbles popping and social calendars filling up. Like you, Libra is an air sign, which means it’s a communicative, social sign; you both love a good chat, learning, reading, and passing on information. That means the solar principle is in harmony with your sign, easily elevating your best interests. Activating your sphere of fun, what you do in your spare time? Hobbies? Leisure, including dating, boosts your self-confidence and pushes your needle forward. Reflect on the past memories from this month and time of year, and see if you notice a pattern and a feeling that goes with it. Keep a basic diary so you can go back over it to note those themes and patterns. Essentially, this could be the best time to go on holiday with a close friend or partner, collaborate on a personal project together, or just meet up with a friend in beautiful places. Libra is ruled by Venus, so experiences are better when the aesthetic suits your tastes.

Cancer (June 22–July 22)

While the sun activates your domestic sphere, why not capture its spotlight and focus on your home? Whether you’re making pivotal plans for it or want to double down on your fortress, this is where you shine and regenerate right now. Take the time you need to draw sustenance from being in your own space, with those you love, or following up on some family ancestry. Get your foundation solid enough to support your direction and public life, as this is the footing you build your life on. Where you live and how you live dictate so much of your experience. So design, connect, invite to your home, or rest with that in mind. Since Mercury is also in this sphere, it’s prime time to sift through your thoughts, plans, and ideas, or simply enjoy connecting one-on-one. The challenge from this month is that you’ll need to exercise more detachment than usual. Cancerians tend to be clannish, subjective, and very loyal. However, stick with what is fair and you’re on the right track.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Action planet Mars is in steamy Scorpio through November 4, so apply the intense focus of this energy to your domestic or home life. If you’re chasing a property, hunt down what you want. If you’re renovating, great. Use your energy in the service of transformation, either practically in your home, or in the service of transforming something internally. Perhaps the way you assert yourself privately could do with a little more muscle, greater self-reliance, or the opposite—letting someone else in more intimately. That Leo pride can and does negate your more vulnerable access points and expression, especially around self-reliance. If you feel someone is at cross purposes with you, it’s best to bring the issue to light than let it sit beneath the surface out of sight. Be sure your own actions are sterling and that you’re not acting against your best interests. That said, perhaps stealth mode is required on a topic you’d rather not reveal just yet.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

As the sun takes up residence in your sphere of money, resources, and values, it’s worth spending time with a good advisor. In the sign of the scales, that means bringing balance and harmony to this part of your life. Balancing your books and budget is a great way to start. Seeking expert advice is another. And having conversations with friends who clearly know their way around the material aspects of life could open up ideas you hadn’t thought of.  That could be for investment, an item you’re after, or various ways of earning an income, and all the details involved to set it up and keep it running. Values quietly inform how we earn and spend; get clear on yours to see how aligned you are with them. Knowing what they are means you can make conscious decisions and choices. This month favours sociability, especially one-to-one, an appreciation for art and beauty, and balance and harmony. Take time to connect with those who bring you pleasure.

Libra (September 23–October 23)

Your birthday season rolls on, and that deserves plenty of champagne popping and bubbly overfills. Take your bubbles, including the nonalcoholic option, to a balcony or table with a view. It’s all about curating the most beautiful environment through lighting, music, ambience, and of course, company. Your sign is ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty, love, and the high arts. She’s all soft sounds, pastel colours, fine art, and perfect partnership. That can be partnerships of all kinds, as long as they’re fair and equitable. It’s the equality that matters, because your scales must come to rest in equilibrium. This is one of the most valuable lessons you have to teach others, so share your perspective while Mercury, the planet of communication, is in your sign.

Scorpio (October 24–November 21)

It’s Libra season as the sun in this sign of peace, love, and harmony lights up in your sphere of dreams, sleep, and liminal spaces. While Libra prefers a light and bright interaction, your style is all-penetrating deep dives. Perhaps use this month to give yourself time off from intensity and sleuthing to get some muchneeded rest and relaxation. Your birthday season is next, which means charging those batteries. Keep a dream diary handy, and record whatever you can recall upon waking. Be quick before the images and impressions evaporate. The more you catch, the more you’re likely to successfully recall over time. Since Mercury is also in this sphere, it’s especially important to tune into your inner guidance. With Mars in your sign, there’s still room to get intense and nail a worthy goal. At this point, your willpower and determination are at an all-time high, so go for it.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Mars in obsessive Scorpio adds a velvety dark tone of determination to the mix this month. While you prefer to gallop across fields, this influence is more about boring down deep into a topic, research, or goal. In your sphere of dreams and the nonmaterial, a regular meditation is advised to tune into your actions, desires, and how best to direct your energy and will. It’s also a way to charge your batteries rather than draining your energy through unfocused action. So get metaphysical and more in touch with the psychic underpinnings of life. Brainstorming, then pulling your ideas together in a vision board is a great use of this period. Before there’s action, there’s vision and planning, so see this as phase one rather than just running at a goal and taking your best shot straight up. Be strategic and covert just this one time. Libra season is about your social interactions and peer groups; however, keep your longer-term movements under wraps for now.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Feisty Mars is powered up in surreptitious Scorpio through November 4, making this the best time to pursue an interest in your social sector. Networks, peers, and groups are your field for leadership, making invaluable alliances, or using your energy for transformation. The moon through your sign Monday through Wednesday, brings you back to your feelings, duties, and what’s most important to your heart. Note what or who is strumming your heartstrings and whom you feel most close to and nurtured by. Or is that you looking after someone else’s emotional needs, bringing out your nurturing side? Libra season sets up a challenge to your sign, so find space for your relationships even though they may not be entirely in alignment with your professional demands and vision. There is space to enjoy both; you just need to keep them balanced. In fact, this season lights up your professional and public-facing sphere; bring balance and a strong aesthetic to your game.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Scorpio hosts the planet of energy and action through November 4. That means covert power moves in your career sector, power alliances, and not getting too caught up in something you might be better letting go of. The urge to under- or overdo it is real since you may want to feel detached, yet you’re a little obsessed. Or is that someone else’s intensity and emotional maelstrom beckoning you into feelings you’d rather not weather? The push and shove is a lot, so decide where you’re ready to negotiate or accommodate, and where you’re not ready to give an inch. Perhaps there’s something within yourself you could benefit from integrating. Like your personal path and that of your career. Or the way you assert yourself. Are your actions aligned with your sense of self, your best self? How could you bring them more into alignment if it’s not quite at precision at the moment?

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Mars is the muscle of the planetary archetypes; the warrior or beefcake, depending on which sign it expresses its principle of action through. Until November 4, it’s hosted by sister water sign Scorpio, so your best form for getting things done is ninja mode. This secretive sign means keeping your actions private, staying under the radar, and expending energy on transformation or sultry scenarios. Giving up is not an option if it’s a goal you’re chasing, and research is time well spent. Activating your sphere of travel, study, and philosophy, you can find the perfect destination, itinerary, or course of study for your desired outcome and experience. Take a look at any plans you have, and gauge honestly what kind of energy is required—especially if it’s a big project for which you could choose a faster and less fraught path. That said, if you want a big challenge you can really sink your teeth into, then plan it out and get started.
