Expect a restless morning as you weigh up your best course of action. The practical Virgo moon is locked into a square-off with motivated Mars, encouraging careful thought and intentional action. But before you can take a step forward, sudden disruptions could alter your routine as cosmic wild-card Uranus aligns with the moon. Instead of perfecting old projects, focus on something new. What you've already completed is good enough, even if Neptune lurking in opposition to the moon makes you think otherwise.

We're still on a high after yesterday's curious full moon. The sun continues its feud with the north node in Pisces and the south node in Virgo (both abstract points that symbolize destiny and fate). The way you put yourself forward today could set you off on a new journey or reinforce an old pattern. Make the most of this pivotal moment by pushing for growth and change.

As you bake for Santa, the reindeer, and the long line of festive gatherings ahead, you might notice that one out of many cookie recipes keeps calling your name. It shows up on every platter, every goodie bag, and somehow always ends up on your plate first. In astrology, your Sun sign describes the personality you recognize most. Your Moon reveals the tastes, textures, and nostalgic treats that soothe you. While your rising sign shapes the vibe others sense from you before you ever say a word - even at a holiday dessert table.

Grab someone special and get under the mistletoe, because the astrology of December promises all sorts of sweetness and excitement in romance. With the communication clashes of November's Mercury retrograde officially behind everyone, it'll be much easier to smooth over any disagreements and move forward in love with a lot more clarity - and your December love horoscopes will give you the low-down on how to work with the vibes.

If you're a true Starbucks devotee, you've probably spotted a drool-worthy beverage on social media only to learn it's available exclusively in a country that requires a seven-hour flight to reach. Some of these global creations sound questionable, others look so tempting you briefly consider booking the next plane just to try them yourself, and then writing to Starbucks headquarters to demand it bring it to the United States.

Mercury may be retrograde, but this is still a perfect weekend to find your footing ahead of the upcoming holiday. During the wee hours of the morning, the moon enters Libra - the zodiac's harmony seeker - allowing everyone to see other people's perspectives a little more easily. Communication gets a boost, making the first half of the day great for important conversations or lighthearted yaps alike.

In classical astrology, those born between two signs are typically described as being 50% one sign and 50% the other. It's an appealing idea, but an imprecise one after all. What exactly constitutes that fifty per cent? Through years of observation, comparison, and the collection of real data on individuals born on cusps, I was surprised to discover that these people are not simply "hybrids," but distinct and recognisable personalities, genuine archetypes in their own right.

If you've been scrolling Hinge, going out every weekend, and picking up new hobbies, yet still haven't met the perfect partner, it's officially time to turn to the stars. According to astrologers, your birth chart is full of clues that can point you towards the right person - if you know where to look. In a viral TikTok shared Oct. 22, creator and astrologer @kimannieastro said you don't just meet your soul mate by accident.

Just after midnight, the moon enters bright and optimistic Sagittarius, inspiring an open and philosophical outlook to uplift this week's brooding and intense energy. Not everything needs to be dealt with immediately, especially not challenging tasks or emotionally heavy conversations. However, not everyone will agree with your attitude when the sun in determined Scorpio battles Pluto this morning. Watch out for subtle power plays, like manipulation or the silent treatment.

By now, you've likely read about the weekend jewel heist at the Louvre in Paris, France. In a robbery that seems fit for an Ocean's 8 sequel, four burglars used a crane to break into a second-floor window at 9:30 a.m. Sunday and swiped a bunch of French Crown Jewels-all in just four minutes. They escaped with more than $102 million worth of jewelry and tiaras-on two scooters.

There is much movement taking place in the cosmos this week. As above, so below. It's a week of drawing cycles to a close and starting over smarter, of experiencing surrender and conscious intention, and, ultimately, coming closer to yourself, to what is real, and to the life you choose to create. Your weekly horoscope for October 19-25, 2025, explains where to channel your attention so you can align with the available energies.
