What are the planets plotting for you this month?Psychic Sheetal Dewan Kapur helps you make sense of all the celestial alignments (or misalignments) with our new monthly horoscope.
Hey cosmic glow-getter,
October is here and you know what that means. It’s time to cosy up with your favourite warm brew, pull out the lights and the sequins, and get ready for some cosmic plot twists. Mercury is signalling peace talks, Venus is rewriting love languages, and Jupiter’s move into Cancer is bringing time with family into the spotlight. With Diwali around the corner, it’s not just about clearing out your home; it is also about getting rid of old energy to bring in the new. So, light some diyas, plug in your playlist, and don your boldest outfit this month. The universe has a message: it’s time for a glow-up.
Here’s the lineup:
October 3: Mercury enters Libra
Your DMs, texts, and convos ask for diplomacy. It’s about talking pretty, playing fair, and keeping the harmony. Think group chats that don’t drain your battery but bring you peace.
October 9: Venus enters Virgo
Romance gets practical. This is what love looks like as routine: the “did you eat?” texts, the shared playlists... Not dramatic, not messy, but detail-driven devotion.
October 17: Sun enters Libra
As the Sun glides into Libra, balance becomes your style statement. Libra isn’t just about harmony; it’s also about beauty, fairness, and relationships that feel like exchanges taking place on an equal footing. On the eve of Diwali week, this shift will feel like the universe asking you to air out your inner and outer spaces. Just as you clear your home, clear your energy of old grudges, cluttered emotions, and the need to over-perfect. Festive season is about flow, not friction.
October 20: Diwali
Diwali 2025 hits with a new Moon in Libra, where the Sun and the Moon align for the ultimate cosmic reset. With Jupiter in Cancer, abundance flows for homes and hearts that show care and intention. The stars align for a creative boost; think art, ideas, and inspiration that stick. Venus in Virgo reminds us that love shines in the little things— lighting diyas, helping out, thoughtful gestures—because consistency beats flash any day. Light your lamps, set intentions, and let the universe match your vibe.
