Love is in the air, Aries! You’re craving more meaningful connections and quality time with the special people in your life as the Sun moves through Libra at the start of the month. This can also be a fun time for collaboration and bringing your ideas to life by brainstorming with others. Relationships can deepen and new commitments, both personal and professional are made.
You’re making important financial decisions at the start of the month when Mercury moves into Scorpio on October 6. You might need to address financial expectations, boundaries, and responsibilities with a lover, roommate, or business partner. This can also be a busy time for negotiating new contracts or paying down debt. Emotionally, you’re feeling ready to do some inner healing work and set yourself free from your past.
A full moon, in your sign, on the same day asks you to shed old versions of yourself. This is your moment to align with the most authentic version of yourself. Are you prioritizing dreams and desires that are fulfilling, or have you been chasing after someone else’s expectations for you? Swift changes in your relationships can also take place—whether you’re ready to take the next step, engage in repair, or walk away from connections that aren’t healthy for you.
Venus, the planet of relationships and values, moves into Libra on October 13, prompting you to have significant exchanges and developments in all your relationships—whether it’s with a roommate, lover, bestie, or family member. Singles can meet someone, and couples might deepen their connection by discussing the future and aligning their values. New partnerships and commitments can pop up, too.
There’s a power shift in your friendship circle when Pluto goes direct in Aquarius on October 13. You might need to confront any unhealthy dynamics in a friendship or perhaps you’re facing some of your fears regarding taking up space and sharing your gifts with your community. Pay attention to any financial issues that pop up once Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow period begins on October 21. The feelings that you avoid now may also resurface during the upcoming retrograde in November.
On the same day, a New Moon in Libra invites you to make a new commitment or release an old one. Significant relationship developments can unfold. Maybe you get engaged or move in with a lover, or perhaps a bestie tells you they are moving across the country. You’re more focused on the important people in your life today and what the future of your relationship looks like. Your intuition gets supercharged once Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces on October 22. You might return to a spiritual practice that feels grounding or find yourself craving more alone time. You’re also feeling deeply connected to the collective unconscious and finding it easier to surrender to what you cannot control in your personal life. This is your healing era.
You’re demanding more depth in your relationships once the Sun enters Scorpio on October 22. The next few weeks help you explore intimacy, vulnerability, and trust in your connections. Some of these feelings will test your limits and put you int ouch with some of your fears and anxieties, but choosing to remain open and honest with the important people in your life can help strengthen your connections. You’re also learning more about reciprocity and lessons about receiving help and support when you need it most.
New ideas flood your mind at the end of the month when Mercury moves into Sagittarius on October 29. You’re feeling more adventurous, might want to book some travel, or sign up for a class and learn something new. This also helps you zoom out and learn about the world around you. The next few weeks also help you come up with ideas that light your soul and spirit on fire, bringing you closer to some of your dreams.
