October is here and Q4 has officially begun! Our resident spirituality and holistic wellness advisor, Kelly Lightworker highlights notable astrological aspects for the month and draws a Tarot card for each zodiac sign.
If you’ve been regrouping after September’s eclipses, you’ll be happy to know that harmonious, happy Libra rules most of October—vibes will certainly feel lighter, with no transits you’ll need to be too concerned about in the first week. On 7 October, Mercury enters Scorpio and stays here for most of the month: dialogue gets deep, and intuition will hit differently. Trust your gut. On the same day, a Full Moon in Aries celebrates courage, ambition, and individual achievement. Some darlings might receive good news on the career or personal development front.
On 14 October, Venus—planetary ruler of relationships, beauty and wealth—enters Libra, where its energies are on home ground. Prioritise partnerships and fair play, and you’ll succeed wonderfully. On this day, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius: a complex situation could unravel and/or reveal clues as to how you can resolve, manage, or disengage from it.
The Mars-Mercury conjunction in Scorpio on 20 October could yield big career wins: schedule meetings and presentations on this day if you want to work with its intense, competitive energies, and make sure you’re well-prepared. The next day brings a New Moon in Libra and the promise of new connections: set your intentions to welcome peace, balance and good people into your life starting from 21 October.
Our energetic climate shifts once again on 23 October when the Sun enters Scorpio. The vibe gets deep, sensual, and intense. Scorpio is a sign that puts on an impeccable façade—but also sees through every mask. And what will your Halloween outfit be this year?
Here are the Tarot cards for each zodiac sign in October 2025. Read for your Sun, Moon and rising signs to get your own unique three-card Tarot reading for the month!
ARIES: Strength
With the Full Moon in your sign this month, dear Aries, you could be coming full circle and/or receiving good news about a project or endeavour that means a lot to you. There’s much to celebrate: look how far you’ve come, and how you have grown in strength, confidence, and personal power. The journey continues; be patient with your own progress, don’t give in to petty impulses, and know that your success is inevitable.
TAURUS: Ten of Wands, reversed
One step at a time, dear Taurus! This month sees you busy with tasks and duties—make sure you’re not stuck with extraneous chores. Success can be its own unique burden, but you are bearing up well under the weight, and you move ever closer to your goals. Release what you don’t need to bear, and you will avoid burnout. Some Tauruses might need to watch out for issues with the back and joints.
GEMINI: The Moon, reversed
Dear Gemini, this month brings you a breakthrough that offers emotional clarity and release. A situation that had hitherto caused confusion and indecision could be shifting in your favour. Embrace this shift and understand that the power to make changes for the better lies with you. Fact-check your instincts before making major decisions. As truths emerge, your highest path will reveal itself.
CANCER: Eight of Cups
You could be feeling introspective about your life and choices this month, dear Cancer. An opportunity could arise that offers you the option to walk away from something that you might have outgrown, although this might also require you to accept certain other changes. Let your inner light lead you forward. Meanwhile, give yourself space to breathe and to reflect; a getaway will do wonders if you need to regroup.
LEO: Seven of Wands
Dear Leo, with the Seven of Wands to help you this month, assert yourself and take a strong stand where it matters. The potential for resistance or conflict could arise, but you will do well to assert your boundaries. So do what’s right and fight the good fight. Some of you might find yourselves in a situation where you’ve been caught off-guard, but trust your instincts and you’ll rise to the occasion.
VIRGO: Knight of Pentacles
Things could be moving rather slowly for you this month, dear Virgo, but as they say… slow and steady wins the race. A situation of concern for you might appear to have reached a temporary stalemate, but do not worry—this too shall pass. Your task is to stay diligent, practical, focussed and reliable as you always have been. Someone else with these qualities could also play a role in this month’s developments.
LIBRA: Knight of Swords, reversed
Dear Libra, your season in 2025 will provide you with ample opportunities to demonstrate your charm, intellect—and discretion. The reversed Knight of Swords indicates that you could be facing a situation where clearing the air would help, if you keep things tactful. Alternatively, you might need to keep your head beneath the radar until other parties are ready to talk. Ultimately, balance clarity with harmony and you’ll do very well.
SCORPIO: Six of Wands, reversed
Could victory be within reach, dear Scorpio? The reversed Six of Wands represents the potential for success after a season of struggle. You have fought bravely against your challenges. Even if your win isn’t here yet, it will come—keep pushing. Meanwhile, be a little careful about whom you share your good news with: this card can indicate that you are surrounded by a few envious types who might be jealous of you.
SAGITTARIUS: The Fool, reversed
An exciting journey beckons, dear Sagi! In the Tarot, The Fool is the first card of the entire deck and represents a powerful new beginning… as well as a dose of good luck. When this card appears, you are encouraged to take a leap of faith. Even in the reversed position, The Fool bodes well for new ventures if you are willing and able to take extra precautions. Fact-check before committing to decisions.
CAPRICORN: The Hanged Man
Life in recent months might have been a bit of a wild ride for you, dear Capricorn, but would you really have it any other way? This month could see you in a unique limbo where you’ll be learning how to see things from an impressively different point of view. Whilst delays in certain matters might be beyond your control, focus on finding creative solutions, and know you’ll be back on the road to success in no time at all.
AQUARIUS: Ten of Swords
Dear Aquarius, the Ten of Swords is here for you again! This card appeared for you last month, and represents extreme mental exertion: due to life’s many needs and priorities, your body and mind are crying out for sweet relief. While it might not be possible for you to get away from whatever is causing the stress, do carve out time for the self-care that you need to regain your health, wellness, and mental acuity.
PISCES: Page of Pentacles
Dear Pisces! This month, an opportunity presents itself for you to improve on your dreams for your future, as well as to learn something new and level up in life. Your ambitions can and will come true—and if you don’t have any, now is a great time to start planning! Some of you could be dealing with a beloved child and/or someone in your life who’s either young or in a junior position to you. Let your wisdom guide others.
