General Daily Insight for October 18, 2025
Our hearts are being activated. The emotional Moon works smoothly with fiery Mars, bringing ambition to our inner lives and dusting off shelved dreams. The Moon is then supported by inspirational Jupiter, bringing fresh life to things that we’ve been keeping inside of us. Creativity is also heightened by this cosmic duo. Finally, Luna opposes critical Saturn at 5:10 pm EDT, which may bring on self-doubt and naysayers that we need to stand our ground against. We must remember what truly motivates us.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Past routines might reawaken old dreams. The cosmos could call upon your memories, asking what you left behind. Maybe you’ll find an old workout video that you used to like following, a healthy (but delicious) recipe from a practical diet, or pictures of yourself involved in a past hobby or sport. It’s a good time to remember what made being healthy feel fun for you, because without it being enjoyable, it won’t stick half as well. Do what works for you.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Other people might try to yuck your yum. You could be simply enjoying yourself when others comment on how it’s not for them, but rather than discourage you, their reactions may actually encourage you. It probably doesn’t affect you that they’re not following along with what you’re doing, and this sense of independence can be freeing. Not everyone likes the same stuff, but does that mean you’re not actually enjoying it just because they don’t? Of course not! It’s still your yum.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
The scene is set for analyzing your current comfort zone. It may be holding you back if you’re allowing it to prevent you from trying new things. Sometimes, a comfort zone is just so comfortable that you never want to leave it, but when you never move around, things get stagnant! Seeing what the world has to offer should be exciting, and your home base should be a place to rest, not a place to permanently park yourself. See what’s out there.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You might not be following the crowd’s current mindset. As you practice carving out your ideal life path, while it may look odd to some other people around you, they don’t need to be a part of this. After all, it’s your thought process and future, not theirs. No two people are on the exact same journey. To reach your desired destination, make a point of staying aware of your soul. Figure out what works for your way of thinking, then follow it.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You’re creating abundance. Once, you may have thought it was shooting too high to try to “make it” in a certain field, but updated evidence is showing you that you have the stamina to chase your dreams. It’s important to be open to the universe by showing the world what you can do, because this opportunity won’t come looking for you at your doorstep. You have to be ready to put yourself on display! Show your skills and see what comes in.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You’re shifting how you express yourself. Perhaps you’re changing up your social media, trying unique fashions, or experimenting with intriguing trends. It’s good to see what’s out there and intuitively seek out what speaks to you. Don’t let yourself be stagnant. Keep working through any fears of letting go of the past and let your present self exist in flux — that’s natural. Who you were will always be a part of you; you just might look or act a little different now.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Struggling to keep up with everything will wear on you. You’re trying to keep a lot of irons in a lot of fires, which risks allowing things to slip through the cracks (although luck is supporting you). It’s vital to stay aware of how much time and energy everything will take, because in your mind, they might be far easier to accomplish than they actually are in practice. Make time for what matters to you ASAP, or you risk losing some of it.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
You may see how the actions of the people around you are affecting you. They say that you are the company you keep, and in your case, this might be very true. Friends or family could have you caught in their wake, whipping you along for an unplanned joyride. This has the potential to be fun, as long as they’re good traveling companions! If you’re not sure about the path that they’re going down, it might be time to leave their orbit.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You’re putting your heart into your projects! That’s normally good, but be wary of becoming too attached to your designs. You risk becoming a perfectionist, afraid to move forward until everything’s flawless. Additionally, taking any criticism of what you’ve done personally would make it difficult to grow or show your work to others. You have the opportunity to hear what they’re saying, know the intentions you put into your work, and decide if their critiques are worth taking or not. Know who you are.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Who are you, Capricorn? And, more importantly, are you willing to share that knowledge with trusted peers? You might typically shy away from opening up, but the people spending time around you may be curious. A friend, new or old, could ask to know more about you and what led you to where you are now. While it may be tempting to overcorrect and overshare, strive to open up naturally, then ask them more about themselves. Let it be a two-way street.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Secrets are many-faceted gems — and you could be studying one right now. There may be something positive that you’re hoping to surprise someone with, so it’s important that you don’t reveal anything. You may need to make decisions undercover to avoid giving away what’s really taking place. While this can be a challenge, it will likely all be worth it to make a loved one smile. Give someone a little moment of joy in their life today, because that joy should be contagious.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
It can be difficult to figure out where your desires start and another person’s stop. You may care about someone in your life so deeply that it feels as though what they want is what you want, but you’re probably too close to the situation. Do your best to zoom out and ask yourself if this is what you really want. If it didn’t make this loved one happy, would you still be interested in it? Reevaluate before jumping in with both feet.
