Your lookahead horoscope: October 19, 2025

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Saturn’s influence on your birthday means you need to get organized and you need to be ready to move ahead in small steps rather than giant leaps. What is your detailed plan for the year ahead? If you don’t have one then prepare it now.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done then obviously some serious changes are called for. Start by streamlining your daily routine. Maybe it’s time to cut out of your life all those activities that don’t turn a profit.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

What took place earlier in the week may have been unsettling but by now it should be clear that it was necessary too. What matters is that you focus on your work situation. Make sure your reputation is such that you are seen as indispensable.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

No matter how annoying someone in your social circle gets this weekend you must not react to their juvenile behavior, because if you do it may be you who is seen in a negative light. A Gemini, seen as a spoilsport? Unthinkable!

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

If a rival throws down a challenge you won’t hesitate to pick it up. The only problem is they may have calculated that on this occasion you are the one in the weaker position and they can easily defeat you. They could be right, so be careful.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The sun, your ruler, is making a difficult aspect to Saturn, planet of loss, so if you are thinking of taking a risk of some kind it might be wise to think again. You’re not being forced to do anything drastic, so leave things as they are.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Your powers of persuasion are high at the moment, so if there is someone you want to impress now is the time to speak up and show them how clever you are. Don’t overdo it though or they may blame you for making them feel inferior.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You will have to act quickly to prevent a mini disaster early in the week. The good news is you will see it coming and be in the right place at the right time to soften the blow. Your less observant friends will thank you for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If you listen to what someone in a position of authority has to tell you this week you will learn something to your advantage. You may not much like what they say but you are smart enough to recognize that it is excellent advice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If what your employer or someone else in a position of power offers you falls short of what you think you deserve then reject it out of hand. They will actually think more of you if you know your own value and refuse to settle for less.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You are not the sort to be easily intimidated and if a rival tries to scare you into doing something you don’t agree with they will fail. Show them you are amused by their miserable effort and walk away with your head held high.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If you bet against the odds over the next few days it might pay off, but if it doesn’t you could face a bigger loss than you expected. You don’t have to take a gamble, so play safe and keep your money in your pocket.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If you let others see your vulnerable side they will realize that the face you have been presenting to the world in recent weeks is merely an act. The planets indicate you no longer need to be so defensive, so be yourself again.
