When Aaj Tak published its daily tarot horoscope for Aquarius on 12 October 2025, the headline warned of looming financial losses and strained partnerships.
The reading was part of the Kumbh Tarot Horoscope for 12 October 2025India, a regular feature on the portal’s religion and horoscope section (story ID dskc-2353430-2025-10-12).
Senior astrologer Neha Sharma explained that the card drawn for the day – the Five of Wands – traditionally signals conflict, competition, and the risk of disputes escalating.
What the Five of Wands Signifies
The Five of Wands belongs to the Minor Arcana’s suit of wands, each representing energy, ambition, and drive. When it appears upright, most tarot readers interpret it as a reminder that multiple interests are vying for dominance. In plain terms, it’s a little cosmic heads‑up that tempers are short and arguments can flare quickly.
For Aquarius natives, who are ruled by Uranus and often champion unconventional ideas, this card can feel especially jarring. "The energy of the Five of Wands pushes Aquarians to question authority, but it can also turn healthy debate into outright clash if not managed," Sharma noted during a brief interview.
Tarot Reading Details for Aquarius
The Aaj Tak horoscope warned: “यदि आप बात बढ़ने की कोशिश करेंगे तो इस समय की प्रतिकूलता के कारण विवाद की स्थितियां काफी बड़ी हो सकती हैं.” In English, that translates to a caution against inflaming situations when the stars are already stacked against you.
Key take‑aways from the reading include:
- Patience and calm are the best defenses against the day’s turbulence.
- Physical confrontation (हाथापाई) is a real, if unlikely, outcome if anger is left unchecked.
- Business partners may act on hidden motives; transparency is essential.
Business and Partnership Advice
Money matters dominate the forecast. The horoscope specifically flags a partner’s "बुरी नीयत" – bad intentions – that could trigger embezzlement of "काफी सारा पैसा गबन". While the exact amount isn’t quantified, Sharma warned that the loss could be “substantial enough to affect your savings for several months.”
To protect themselves, Aquarius natives are urged to:
- Draft clear, written agreements before any joint venture.
- Request regular financial statements and audit trails.
- Communicate any desire to exit a partnership in "स्पष्ट शब्दों" – crystal‑clear language.
One business analyst, Rohan Mehta of the consulting firm Insight Edge, said that while tarot isn’t a substitute for legal counsel, such warnings can prompt entrepreneurs to double‑check contracts, which often saves money in the long run.
Health and Conflict Outlook
Beyond finance, the reading flags a heightened risk of physical scuffles. “लड़ाई झगड़ा होने की संभावना बन रही हैं,” the horoscope states, implying that heated arguments could spill over into bodily harm.
Medical experts aren’t typically consulted for astrological forecasts, but Dr. Anjali Rao, a psychiatrist at Delhi’s All India Institute of Mental Health, observed that stress‑induced aggression spikes when people feel their security is threatened – exactly the scenario the Five of Wands paints.
Expert Opinions and Public Reaction
When asked about the relevance of tarot in modern decision‑making, Sharma said, “Our readers treat the horoscope as a reflective tool, not a deterministic rule. It’s like a weather report – you might carry an umbrella just in case.”
Analytics from Aaj Tak’s digital team show that the horoscope section attracts roughly 3.2 million unique visitors each month, with a noticeable spike on days when the forecast includes “warning” language. The comment section on the 12 October article featured over 400 reactions within the first 24 hours, ranging from skeptical quips (“Just another fear‑mongering post”) to heartfelt thanks (“Thanks for the heads‑up – I’m revisiting my partnership agreement today”).
What to Watch Going Forward
The next week’s tarot cards for Aquarius shift to the Six of Swords, a symbol of moving away from turbulence toward calmer waters. Sharma advises using the current warning period as a “reset button” – take stock, resolve any lingering disputes, and then let the later, more tranquil card guide future steps.
In practical terms, that means:
- Holding a brief meeting with any business associate before the weekend.
- Setting up a neutral third‑party mediator if tensions rise.
- Prioritising self‑care – adequate sleep, balanced meals, and short walks can keep the emotional temperature down.
