Aries monthly horoscope

Mar 20 to Apr 19

October pushed you into company

October has been a month about other people, and that is not always your favourite subject. The Sun spent most of it in Libra, in your partner corner, and the New Moon there on October 10 opened some conversation you had been putting off. Saturn in your sign faced the Sun on October 4, within a whisker of exact opposition. If you felt you were being told off that week, you were, but kindly, and mostly by yourself. Mars, your ruling planet, moved through Leo all month and gave you the good days, especially around October 16, when it made a friendly angle to Saturn. A difficult job went easier then. Since the Sun entered Scorpio on October 23, the mood has moved to what you share: the deep stuff, the private stuff. Mercury is retrograde there now, so one of those talks will need a second go. Have it in November. Spend what is left of October with the few people who can always tell when you are joking.

Next up: November 2026

Fun gets serious on November 16

Mars, your ruling planet, has been in Leo since September 28, in your fun corner. It meets Jupiter there, exactly, on November 16. That is the big date for you. Something you do for pleasure may start to look like something you could do properly: the band, the stall, the screenplay. Say yes to the small version first. Until then the mood is deeper. The Sun and Mercury are in Scorpio, in the part of your chart about what you share, and Mercury is retrograde until November 13. Old talks about who does what get one more airing. Venus is also retrograde, in your partner corner, until November 14. So nobody needs to decide anything about love before the middle of the month. On November 22 the Sun enters Sagittarius and you start wanting to go somewhere. On November 25 Mars enters Virgo, and your daily work corner gets the benefit of all that drive. By then you will want a list. Enjoy it.
