Gemini, take time for yourself and watch the world go by (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Caution seems to be the advice for many of us today as what we want, what we think we need and how our future looks may just have to be put on hold as intuition, internal radars and plain instinct give us cause to take some major steps back from what we think is right for us.

Complications could enter our lives if we don’t heed our own advice.

It’s time to listen to those gut instincts, tune in, time out and wait for a while. Sometimes the quietest person in the room is the strongest.

Cancer, come on now, we know how accommodating you can be, you’re an empath, but a new romance may not be all that it seems.

Get your hard shell back on and see those red flags waving at you…listen to yourself, get off the sand and hit the peace and quiet of the protective seas.

Sagittarius, coming back into contact with an old friend and maintaining that relationship may well bring benefits.

Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for October 12, 2022.

Read on for your full forecast.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Mars, your guide planet, forges the first of three aspects to Neptune today, so observe what happens and how you feel.

You can adopt an uncharacteristically passive approach, but if you do nothing now, you might end up having to take action when things are worse.

It may be only a small issue, but it could snowball and start to get out of control, which won’t help you, Aries.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Nervous to discuss something? It might be better if you were to openly share your thoughts.

Consider making a gentle start Taurus, as doing so could get things moving. Your willingness to be honest can pave the way for another to be open about what is going on for them.

It may clear up so much confusion, that might otherwise foster an atmosphere of distrust with someone close.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Your mind can be spinning with ideas, but for now you might not have the energy to make a start. Instead, you may prefer to unwind and watch the world go by.

Perhaps some pampering and self-care is something you could enjoy. If self-doubt is causing you to falter, don’t give in to it.

Keep taking small steps forward, and know that what you’re doing is truly worthwhile.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Enjoying someone’s company? With Mars angling towards filmy Neptune, there is the possibility that you’ll ignore any red flags, even if you sense something isn’t quite right.

If this friendship or romantic bond is in its early stages, then time will reveal all.

At some point you will find out, so you might as well trust your gut feelings and do something about it now.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Wondering if someone is reliable? If you don’t listen to your instincts now, then you may regret it.

A confusing aspect that shows up three times over coming months, begins today, and it can cause you to lose faith in your own judgement, while also giving someone the benefit of the doubt when you know you shouldn’t.

It’s wise to be polite and considerate, but don’t be weak.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Need to make a decision? Take your time! As Mars faces off with dreamy Neptune, it can be difficult to see things as they really are.

Other people may have a skewed perspective too, so avoid asking for advice. Instead, bide your time, as soon all will become clear.

Looking to purchase an item? Your intuition could lead you to the bargain you’ve been hoping for.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Putting pressure on yourself, Libra? It might not help you, even if you have the best of intentions.

The present line-up suggests things may not pan out as you hoped, and it can be partly due to unforeseen events.

It’s also possible that you won’t feel at your most vital due to a hazy Mars/Neptune tie. This is one time when relaxing mentally could help you get a lot more done.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

With sociable Mercury aligning with philosophical Jupiter, it should, in theory, be easy to bring a niggling difference of opinion to a close.

In practice, it may be the angle between Mars and mesmeric Neptune, that complicates things.

There might be too many cross currents and too much confusion for this to happen. The best you can do is to put off big conversations for another day.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Mercury, newly in Libra, opposes Jupiter retro in Aries, which could bring you into contact with someone you haven’t seen in a while.

And you might get on better, and sense that opportunities will come from seeing more of each other.

Regarding a family issue, the more you discuss it, the more confused it may become. Leave it for now, as soon everything will become clear.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Make sure you at least have the facts or details correct, because it’s very likely that no one else will.

A Mars/Neptune angle can mean that others won’t be too bothered about getting anything right, being on time or attending to responsibilities.

At the best, they may be half-hearted. If you step up to the plate, you’ll have more than your fair share to do, but you’ll also save the day.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

The days ahead may be excellent for reading books that boost your spirits and enhance motivation.

Watching movies that encourage you to have faith in your abilities, and to do more and be more, might inspire you to aim higher, Aquarius.

As fiery Mars angles towards aqueous Neptune though, read the small print before you commit to anything that involves money.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

With feisty Mars linking to Neptune in your sign, it could be difficult to understand where a family member is coming from.

If they seem in a contrary mood and liable to change their mind, this won’t help if you need to make plans. Your best bet may be to focus on what you want, and to go ahead.

If you wait for them, you might be at a loss and the days ahead be wasted.
