Your daily horoscope: October 20, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Don’t wait for the good things in life to come to you this year, take immediate action so you attract to yourself what it is you most desire. If you believe that the universe wants you to succeed then it is really just a matter of time.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

What is going on behind the scenes is of much more importance now than what you can see going on right in front of you, so do some digging and ask questions about what other people’s true motives might be. The answers will surprise you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

There is no point getting worked up about a family situation that you have no way of changing. Just make sure you are on hand to give advice to loved ones when they ask you what they should do. Your input could be invaluable.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The sooner you let others know you won’t be pushed around the better. On the work front, especially, the moment a colleague gets a bit too assertive you must be assertive right back at them. Make it clear you always give as good as you get.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Just because you find a situation funny does not mean everyone else will find it funny. Your sense of humor can be a bit cynical at times and if you poke fun at events that others see as oh-so serious they could turn against you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may need to remind a friend or even a loved one of their obligations today. If they choose to make light of other people’s difficulties just remind them that they have been in similar situations too. It’s their responsibility to help.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Mercury, your ruler, joins forces with energy planet Mars today, so you will have plenty to say for yourself and you won’t be shy about saying it loud. The fact that you are usually such a reserved individual will give your words extra power.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You must not allow a lack of ready cash to hold you back from following your dreams. The fact that you have to find ways to be creative without spending too much money will make your success, when it comes, all the more satisfying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Mars and Mercury combine energies in your sign today, so your vision of what needs to be done will be crystal clear and your ability to act swiftly and decisively will move you ahead of your rivals in leaps and bounds. It’s a good time to be you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Yours may be one of the more positive signs of the zodiac but you go through periods of doubt like everyone else. If you find your mood dipping fast today you must do whatever it takes to lift yourself out of it. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your instincts will be sharp today and will get sharper still as the week progresses. If you get a hunch that you need to act quickly when dealing with a creative project of some kind then drop everything else and get on to it right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You may have your doubts that someone you work with has your interests at heart but keep your suspicions to yourself for the time being. If they continue to believe that you are unaware of their scheming it will make it easier to protect yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Get out and about as the new week begins and interact with people from all walks of life. What you will discover is that almost everyone has the same dreams as you and that if you help each other then everyone can be a winner.
