Your lookahead horoscope: September 21, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Although there is a beneficial solar eclipse at the start of your birthday week there is also a tough-looking sun-Saturn link that warns you cannot take anything for granted. In a nutshell, the harder you work the more successful you will be – and that success could be huge.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

As the sun moves into your opposite sign this week you may have to let go of your place in the spotlight. It won’t hurt to let others take the lead for a while, so step back and let loved ones and workmates show what they can do.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Cosmic activity in the work and wellbeing area of your chart will encourage you to knuckle down and finish those projects you started but never quite got around to completing. It may surprise you to discover just how many there are.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You have worked long and hard to get to a position where you can show the world what you are capable of and those efforts must not be wasted. Make it your one and only aim this week to prove you are not just good but great.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

There will be times this week when it seems as if nothing quite fits the way it should but if you stay calm and make the most of new opportunities you won’t be confused for long. Mars will inspire you to be creative in more forceful ways.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You won’t hesitate to let everyone around you know what you think and how you feel, and if they don’t much like it well that’s too bad. Life is too short to pull your punches, especially when dealing with people whose views you don’t agree with.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Although the sun is now leaving your sign you still have Mercury there to guide your choices and keep your spirits high. Remember: to be a success in life depends not just on getting things right but also on avoiding making stupid decisions.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A new solar cycle is beginning and the sun in your sign over the next few weeks will encourage you to make bigger and better plans than ever before. You must, of course, make sure your aims are practical but they must be ambitious as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

As Mars moves in your favour your approach to getting things done will become more direct. You have a reputation for playing your cards close to your chest but you no longer have the patience for that. Everyone must know what you expect of them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You may think that your way of doing things is the best way, and you may be right, but it will pay you to be more open to other people’s ideas. You may be surprised to find that some people are not the idiots you thought they were.
