Your daily horoscope: October 7, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will be extremely busy this year and you must make sure that what you are working on is for your benefit and no one else’s. That may sound a bit selfish but you won’t get much help from other people, so you can only help yourself.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Today’s full moon in your sign could have you behaving in a rather emotional manner, so keep an eye on yourself and if you seem to losing control just walk away from whatever situation is causing you grief. You don’t HAVE to get involved.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may look fearless to the world at large but you have doubts and anxieties like everyone else and some of them could break through to the surface today. There is no point trying to deny your feelings, so acknowledge them and deal with them.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

There is such a sense of urgency about you at the moment that you run the risk of pushing ahead too quickly and making a costly mistake. Map out each move you are going to make before you actually get going. You’re not on the clock.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Have you taken a wrong turning? Maybe, but even if you have you can get back on track a little bit further down the line, so stick at it and don’t worry or hurry. The universe will give you a gentle nudge in the right direction.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you are planning your next vacation, or even just thinking about a trip you want to take in the future, you must be realistic about how much it will cost. If you know you can afford it that’s fine. If not, maybe lower your sights a bit.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You will get conflicting advice today about a business matter of some kind and while the moon is full you would be wise not to take any final decisions. If others try to rush you maybe that’s not a good sign. Be cautious.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A full moon in the partnership area of your chart warns that some of the people you deal with today could get a bit touchy for no good reason. Promise yourself in advance that not matter how provocative their actions may be you won’t react in kind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Teamwork is always essential but never more so than now. Both at home and at work you must look past your differences with loved ones and colleagues and focus on the things you have in common – a lot more than what keeps you apart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

There is a lot of emotional junk that you need to get rid of and if you start the process today you will see results before the end of the week. Any regrets you may have, and any ill feeling you have for other people, must be left behind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

A loved one’s last minute-change of plan will annoy you but there is nothing you can do about it. It may even work in your favour as it gives you an excuse to go it alone, which may be what you wanted to do in the first place.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Full moons are always tricky but this one could be costly financially too. If you think you know what’s going on then almost certainly you don’t, so keep your money in your pocket until you know for sure what is really at stake.
