Zodiac Check-In: Your Monthly Astro Update – October 2025

October opens with a fiery Full Moon in Aries on the 7th, stirring passions and spotlighting emotional independence. The New Moon in Libra on the 21st invites harmony and fresh starts in relationships. Mercury travels from Scorpio into Sagittarius, Venus glides into Libra, and Neptune begins a dreamy retrograde back into Pisces on the 22nd.

Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr): Emotions run high early in the month, offering a chance to reset your focus and release old baggage. Communication turns deeper, helping you say what really matters. Partnerships deepen as you open up with more grace.

Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May): Let go of stress and overthinking this month. Rest helps you feel stronger, and trust begins to return. Relationships improve when you focus on the little things.

Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun): Intensity brings emotional clarity around friendships or goals at the start of October. Creative ideas return with a gentle flow. Toward the end, planning something exciting becomes easier.

Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul): Something shifts in your sense of direction. You’re not lost, just adjusting your path to something that feels truer. Emotional patterns from the past surface gently and can now be healed with less resistance.

Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug): Let yourself be curious again. You’re drawn to new perspectives, but something old needs releasing first. Communication becomes more intuitive, helping you say less and mean more.

Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep): You’re learning to value what truly sustains you. Connection becomes easier once you’re honest about what you need. Later in the month, a clear idea about your next step arrives.

Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct): There’s a sense of closure in one-on-one relationships early this month. You may realise what you’re no longer willing to carry. Venus adds warmth and magnetism.

Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov): You’re ready to clear out what no longer serves your well-being. With Mercury in your sign, you’re thinking more deeply and seeing patterns clearly.

Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec): Old goals or social ties may fade, but only to make room for new inspiration. You’re more open to love or creative expression and may reconnect with a forgotten passion.

Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan): You may feel pulled between public success and private needs. Something emotional at home needs attention and healing. With clearer communication, family ties grow stronger.

Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb): Your world feels bigger this month. Something clicks that helps you see past limitations. Toward the end of the month, you may feel called to step into a new role. Keep learning, keep talking, and stay close to what excites you.

Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar): You’re letting go of emotional weight that’s been too heavy for too long. A financial or energetic exchange becomes clearer. As Neptune retrogrades into your sign, clarity replaces confusion.

Worker shortage is currently universal, there isn’t an industry that’s exempt. For Kelvin Smith, four years ago he decided there was a very obvious solution to the shortage facing the construction industry, and all that was needed was a little time, empathy and a helping hand. Integrate Workforce is a Hobart-based labour company with one requirement: a refugee/ migrant background. He’s also the outdoor piano man in his free time.

Even though Tasmania is known for its mild summers, it doesn’t take much to get sunburnt. Tasmania experiences extreme ultraviolet (UV) levels, but contrary to popular belief this isn’t due to the hole in the ozone layer, which is actually south of the continent.While higher UV levels often occur at the same time as higher temperatures, the two are not linked. Instead, UV levels are determined by the angle of the sun in the sky: the higher the sun, the higher the UV. In December and January, the position of the sun over Tasmania gives the state a UV index of 11 or more on most days, which is classified as “extreme” on the UV index. Tasmania’s lack of humidity and generally clear skies contribute to the stinging feeling of the sun. UV can reflect off buildings and water, making it possible to get a higher dose of UV from these reflected rays, even in the shade.

Setting up shop during a pandemic was a risky move, but if the crowd at Dāna Eating House (Dāna) on a Friday night is anything to go by, it’s one that’s paid off. With tables of diners chatting and laughing over drinks, the music and conversation buzzes off the monstera-leaf-green walls. Low-hanging rattan lights and worn wooden floorboards give the newly opened South-East Asian fusion venue in Hobart’s CBD a relaxed vibe.

A Holyman flagged ship hasn’t steamed up the River Derwent since 1984 but the company’s name still proudly adorns its former offices at 5 Morrison Street, Hobart.

Just when you think your cousins are alright. NZ Opposition Leader Judith Collins took aim at Tassie during her recent (unsuccessful) campaign, calling us Australia’s “poor cousin.” She also seems worried about us nabbing tech businesses, “It’s a lovely part of the world but do you necessarily want to go there with your high- tech business? Possibly not,” she said. We beg to differ!
