ARIES HOROSCOPE for OCTOBER 2026

ARIES/ARIES ASCENDANT

So you are fully turned on, by your ruler Mars joining positive Jupiter in your 5^th house, as October begins. The 5^th is about having a good time with your natural talent, confident self expression and playful, life affirming fun-and Mars & Jupiter are totally up for it! I love for you, feeling permission to enjoy life this month, with the fiery bravado, childlike joy and innate desire to thrive, you do so well. Especially as Mars hooks into the collective astro, going on right now:

So after a truly tempestuous period of change in recent months, October is a welcome respite, of relatively calm astro weather. With so many planets retrograde, we get to take stock, integrate lessons learned and take the time, to orient ourselves towards the new chapter of promising new possibilities-we are preparing to explore in coming years.

What with Pluto, Neptune/Saturn and Uranus now settled in harmonious aspect with one another. We are all coming to terms with an easier flow, to carry us forward. Bless, I love this for us!

For Aries, Neptune & Mars, recently joining healer Chiron in your sign is such a big deal. Having come to terms with the profound self acceptance, of integrating your beautifully human flaws & vulnerability with your fiery ego, you are hopefully at peace in your soul. Now Saturn and Neptune integrate your mystical nature with pragmatic realism-kind of like a magical manifesting genius, taking full responsibility for being the master/mistress of your own Destiny. You adore this vibe, of course.

Uranus electrifies your mind with so many brilliant new ideas, radicalising what you even believe in, in an exciting way. So you are allowed to be as much of a weirdo as you like, in terms of how you express yourself about it. We all appreciate how much you inspire us to also think outside the square, in this regard. Of course if any normies give you a hard time because they don’t get it-you’re not bothered. Pluto joining the Destiny Point in your social sector, positions you as shit-stirring maverick, on the cutting edge of the transformative growth going on in the collective, cultural zeitgeist and the friends & crew you hang out with. Your crazy diamond charisma is so sexy, could give a fuq what anyone thinks-you are just happy being your true self.  

Meanwhile Venus retrograde in your 8^th house, from Oct 4^th then Mercury retro in your 8^th, from October 26^th is a little more complex. As in the more deeply entangled relationships, with the people you care about come under scrutiny. Whether romantic love, emotional intimacy, family obligations or financial/biz negotiations. Suddenly could be weird misunderstandings & complicated conversations, lowkey doing your head in? But it doesn’t have to be drama, just because triggering power trips, in scenarios where you frankly can’t control one another. More so as Venus commences a retro phase, back & forth between your 8^th and 7^th, love/partner sector, until mid December. Plenty of time to work it out!  

As such a hothead normally, you might be pleasantly surprised how much patience you suddenly have available-to deal with slow burn relational dynamics. Even if moments of frustration arise, and even if you have to ditch certain folk who refuse to show up? Is a beautiful thing to slowly but surely cultivate mutual understanding, with the people just as committed as you-together.

The New Moon of Oct 11^th is a nice clue-about the special connections ready to thrive, in this regard.  Then the Full Moon of Oct 26^th in your 2^nd house, opposite Sun with Mercury retro, in your 8^th house. To dig a bit deeper into any pycho emotional/sexual/financial complexity being revealed-with intelligent new rules of engagement. Nice one x
