We Built a Budget Planner Spreadsheet for Canadian Households — Here's What's Inside

  If you've been reading our RRSP/TFSA/FHSA and household budgeting pieces, you already know the line we keep coming back to: a plan is only as good as your ability to actually track it.

Your daily horoscope: October 10, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There are two Yous: the Outside You that you present to the world and the Inner You that reflects who you really are. The planets indicate that you need to encourage the Inner You to become more of a driving force this year. Be true to yourself.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

What you think is important now will fade into insignificance early next week, so stay calm and don’t think the world is coming to an end. Let others wallow in doom and gloom if they so wish – you are under no obligation to join them.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your actions have got a bit too obvious of late and you need to stir things up. Not only will that keep your rivals guessing but it will make you more excited about your tasks, which means you will make a much better job of them.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If you get something wrong over the next 24 hours just tell yourself that it’s no big deal and wait for the universe to give you a second chance, which it will. Fortunately, the sun in your fellow air sign of Libra makes you super selfconfident.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

No matter how well you get along with a colleague on the work front you must not confide in them when it comes to your private life. The planets warn you may not be getting on so well a week, a month or a year from now.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Something you have been planning for a very long time will get the green light either today or over the weekend. Now that all the pieces of the jigsaw are falling into place you must not hesitate for even a moment – get a head start on your rivals.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Something will happen today or over the weekend that brings a smile to your face, most likely because it means you have nothing to worry about, whereas before you thought the sky was about to fall. It’s all good and about to get even better.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If something out of the ordinary occurs today you must not ignore it. It could be a coded message from the universe that you need to adjust your thinking and then adjust your sights as well. Chances are your goals have become too predictable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The suspicious side of your nature is prodding you to believe that someone is out to do you harm, but where is the evidence? Most likely your fears have got a bit out of hand, so make a conscious effort to control them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The sun in the friendship area of your chart will make it easy for you to win people round to your way of thinking. Once you have done that you must get your heads together and decide how to turn those thoughts into actions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Because you aim higher than most other people you sometimes feel bad when your efforts fall short of the targets you have set for yourself. Remind yourself today that you are human like everyone else – though still better, of course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You need to get out and about and meet new people today. The planets indicate that someone you encounter on your travels will open your mind to possibilities that had not occurred to you before. There is always something new to learn.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You have so much going for you now but for some reason you still believe that a major catastrophe is lurking round the next corner. No it isn’t. Ignore your fears and act as if nothing can possibly go wrong in your life – and it won’t.
