Below is a transcript from a livestream we broadcasted on YouTube which included our forecast and predictions for all ascendant signs for the month of October 2025. We describe the meanings of various transits of planets through your horoscope this month with insights from Vedic astrology. These insights are based on our own learning and observations as well as information from classical texts on Jyotish.
Transcript of Our Predictions for All Ascendants
Within the first few days of the month, we have Mercury joining Mars in the sign of Libra, and Venus crossing directly over Ketu, in the same degree, in the sign of Leo. Venus will then move into the sign of Virgo on October 10th, where the Sun is currently transiting, until it moves into the sign of Libra on October 18th.
Jupiter will move into the sign of Cancer on October 19th, where it will be exalted briefly until it moves back into the sign of Gemini on December 6th. On October 20th, Mercury will cross directly over Mars in the same degree, after which it will move into the sign of Scorpio on October 25th. Mars will also move into the sign of Scorpio on October 28th.
Overall, this month can represent a final clearing of tensions, which will ultimately give way to a newfound hope and positivity. Venus crossing directly over Ketu in the first week of the month can signify that there is still a danger to women, especially female performing artists or politicians. There is also a potential for experiences of rejection from women. This can be the case for men interested in dating or even for anyone (male or female) trying to approach women for any reason, even in a professional context. This will get better after October 10th.
Mercury joining Mars in the sign of Libra for most of the month will stimulate heated debates in the public arena, especially culminating on October 20th, when Mercury crosses directly over Mars. Since Libra is also the sign of relationships, and Venus will be debilitated in Virgo and aspected by Saturn for most of the month, this can present some challenges in relationships. Saturn’s aspect can show us that the key to overcoming these challenges is to embrace the relationship as a responsibility and look forward to more enjoyable times coming very soon.
Around the time when Jupiter moves into its exaltation sign of Cancer on October 19th, a collective sense of hope and optimism will start to predominate over the negativity and chaos we had to face all summer. This optimism will be in the form of an increased interest in subjects like spirituality and astrology.
Aries
For Aries ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to focus on public relations. Your lagna lord Mars is currently transiting the 7th house of relationships, business partnerships, public dealings and market places. This will drive your attention into these areas, and Mercury here will signify self efforts being exerted as well as competitors or rivals you’ll need to overcome. However, the Sun is currently helping you suppress obstacles in your 6th house, especially if you maintain your self confidence and leadership inclinations. Once the Sun moves into your 7th house on October 18th, it will be forming a Raj Yoga, showing that the efforts you put into 7th house matters at this time, will pay off later.
When Jupiter moves into your 4th house of Cancer on October 19th, a tremendous peace of mind can enter into your life, which you may have been craving for some time now. Jupiter here will be good for matters related to land, real estate and vehicles, as well as overall happiness and harmony in the home. This is also a perfect time to set up some kind of meditation room or spiritual altar inside your house. Jupiter will also be sending his blessings to the 8th house of research and astrology, as well as the 12th house of seclusion and spirituality.
Taurus
For Taurus ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for closure and creativity. Your lagna lord Venus is currently transiting over Ketu in your 4th house of home, vehicles and inner psychology. These areas of your life most likely underwent some kind of upheaval in recent months, and Venus moving into your 5th house on October 10th marks an end to this period of inner cleansing. Venus will be in the sign of Virgo, ruled by Mercury, with Mercury in the sign of Libra, ruled by Venus. This exchange of signs will boost the power of Venus to give good results in your 5th house of creativity, children, mantras and investments.
Mars and Mercury transiting through your 6th house can show that you may need to spend money to resolve some problem with your spouse or first child. However, this combination forms a Raj Yoga and receives the benefic aspect of Jupiter, so you will be able to think strategically in order to resolve any issues that come up.
Once Jupiter moves into your 3rd house on October 19th, you may gain financially through communication, writing or short distance travels. This is a perfect time to start going for regular walks to burn off the calories from all those sweets you were eating when Jupiter was transiting your 2nd house. This could also be a good time to buy a yellow phone case, yellow watch or yellow pen to harness the blessings of Jupiter transiting your 3rd house.
Gemini
For Gemini ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to plan for your financial future. Your lagna lord Mercury is currently transiting your 5th house of discernment, children, mantras and speculative investments. Mercury is already forming a Dhana Yoga here as the 1st lord with Mars, the 11th lord of gains. After Venus moves into Virgo on October 10th, Mercury will also be in a sign exchange with Venus, adding even more power to this combination in the 5th house.
Aside from that, Jupiter will be exalted in your 2nd house of accumulated wealth after October 19th. All of these transits bode well for financial gains, especially through investments in land, real estate or vehicles. This is a good time to make some kind of investment, if you have the ability.
Before October 10th, while Venus is still conjunct Ketu in your 3rd house, be very careful with your communication, especially through text, email or social media, as the wrong phrasing could lead to unexpected conflicts.
Cancer
For Cancer ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to avoid conflicts and receive divine blessings. As we start off the month, Venus is with Ketu in your 2nd house of speech. Mars is transiting your 4th house of home life, with Mercury, the planet of communication. All of this can show that the first portion of the month is a time when impulsive speech could lead to conflicts in your home, relationship or career. Ketu’s placement in your second house shows that the key to avoiding this, is silence.
If you’re able to keep moving forward until October 19th, Jupiter moving into your 1st house will bring divine blessings, health, happiness and wisdom into your life. Jupiter will also be sending his protective aspects onto your 5th house of children, mantras and creativity, your 7th house of relationships and business deals, and your 9th house of higher wisdom and long distance travel. Starting new endeavors in these areas of life should prove to be auspicious at this time.
Leo
For Leo ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to find relief in solitude. Over the past few months, many intense conjunctions have been taking place with planets crossing over Ketu in your 1st house of self, vitality and overall life path. This has created a burden of confusion and stress in your daily life that has probably felt difficult to escape from. Once Venus moves into your 2nd house on October 10th, these difficult conjunctions in your ascendant will be over.
When Jupiter moves into Cancer on October 19th, your ascendant sign will be hemmed between the two most benefic planets, Jupiter and Venus, which will help to cancel out the confusion that Ketu is causing. Venus in your 2nd house of speech, will be in a sign exchange with Mercury in your 3rd house of communication. This signals a time where your communication and what you say will be important, especially to friends, neighbors or your younger sibling. Just make sure these conversations are aimed at establishing peace and harmony, as Mars here can have a tendency to provoke arguments.
Jupiter exalted in your 12th house shows that great happiness, relief and rejuvenation can be found in privacy, meditation or sleep. This is also an auspicious time to make charitable donations to a worthy cause.
Virgo
For Virgo ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to gain wealth and network connections. As we start off the month, the Sun is transiting through your 1st house, giving you a surge of self confidence and charisma. Your lagna lord Mercury is in your 2nd house of speech with your 3rd lord of communication, Mars. On October 10th, Venus will enter into your 1st house, forming a sign exchange with Mercury. If there has ever been a time to say what you need to say, it’s now.
This is a time when opening up your lines of communication and talking more than usual will lead to surprisingly positive outcomes. For most of the year, Jupiter has been transiting through your 10th house giving his blessings on your career. However, Jupiter doesn’t love to be in this position, and may have been making you feel lazy, like you would much rather be studying or learning, than strictly sticking to productivity. But Jupiter exalted in your 11th house will have a completely different effect. Jupiter here will expand your income and open the door to fruitful business opportunities which come through networking. All of this information tells us that extroversion will be the greatest key to your success this month.
Libra
For Libra ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for you to let go of what no longer serves you, and focus on your financial well being. As we start off the month of October, your lagna lord Venus is conjunct Ketu in your 11th house of gains, desires and friendship network circles. There may be friendships in your life that need to end, or attachments to desires that are no longer good for you.
The Sun is currently transiting through your 12th house of expenses, and your 12th lord Mercury is in your 1st house with Mars, who rules your 2nd house of wealth. This tells us that your primary area of focus right now should be on getting organized with your income, expenses and accumulated wealth. This might seem tedious, but it primes your accounts to receive the benevolent blessing of Jupiter, who will be aspecting your 2nd house after October 19th. Not only that, but around the same time, the Sun, which is the lord of your 11th house of income, will move into your 1st house, highlighting again the opportunity for gains.
Scorpio
For Scorpio ascendant or Moon sign this month is a time for success to be your retribution. Your lagna lord Mars is currently transiting through your 12th house of loss, escapism and hidden enemies. However, Mars is also your 6th lord. When the 6th lord goes into the 12th house, this forms something called a “Vipreet Raj Yoga”, meaning what initially seems like a struggle, turns into a success. Mars here is also conjunct Mercury, your 11th lord of gains, and friendship network circles. This can show that right now you may have friends, or even an elder sibling, who is secretly acting against you behind your back.
Once Venus moves into your 11th house on October 10th, it will be forming a sign exchange with Mercury, showing again that what initially seems like a loss, can turn into a gain. You may be struggling to get good sleep right now, but this will gradually get better throughout the month.
