Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
With a strong focus on your partnership sector this month, dear Aries, you're in great shape to find more balance in your life. It's that time of year when others' agendas and needs tend to come into the spotlight, and you're paying your relationships their due attention. You also tend to seek out others' company, advice, and feedback at this time. A new perspective on your life or practical help from others can be advantageous now.
You can have a new mission related to companionship, relationship needs, and goals after the New Moon on the 6th. Even so, with Mercury retrograde in your partnership sector until the 18th, you may need to look back before moving forward.
The 6-9 is particularly packed with energy, with the New Moon occurring along with the Sun, Mars, and retrograde Mercury in alignment in your relationship sector. You certainly have the courage to make changes or take action in a partnership. Someone may be bringing out strong feelings and desires in you, and conflicts entered into now may serve as a valuable reflection of your own desires for action and reaction. Or, someone might encourage you to take action.
Conflicts are possible, particularly if you don't know where to direct excess energy. On the other hand, pairing up to get something done can come naturally. Things can get tricky, and there can be an accelerated, energized pace to your interactions and possibly animated or impulsive communications. Revisiting long-standing problems is ultimately helpful, although it can feel problematic initially.
Venus moves into harmony with your sign from the 7th forward, helping you attract positive attention and feel more comfortable with your feelings and pursuits. It's a fine period for personal charm and attractiveness–you're incredibly likable and relatable. Sharing ideas and beliefs with someone special can bring a relationship to a new level. You're likely to enjoy chatting with others and exchanging ideas or talking through problems.
With Saturn's direct turn on the 10th, you feel more equipped to take charge. Truths coming to light help you get a better grip on the reality of friendships or projects, a long-term plan, aspiration, or goal. You're in better shape for meeting responsibilities.
Mercury and Jupiter turn direct on the 18th, contributing to a hopefulness about your friendships and long-term plans. These events can bring your social life to life. Connecting brings more joy. Conversations and projects begin to move forward.
It's a great month for tackling problem areas in your relationships and putting them behind you. A relationship can improve tremendously by focusing on long-term happiness goals. Teamwork can be golden now! A significant someone can be an excellent sounding board for your ideas. You might lay the groundwork for promotion and networking, and you draw others to you with your sincerity and confidence. Opportunities to advance or reach your goals seem to arise through relationships and contacts. People in your life are encouraging you, or your relationship with someone is a motivator for handling a problem.
The 20th brings a Full Moon in your sign, and feelings bubble up to the surface with great force. You can have epiphanies about your needs as this lunation brings unacknowledged personal needs to the front burner. It can be an important time for checking in with those feelings and desires that you've brushed off or left unfulfilled, especially with so much recent attention to others' needs.
The month's focus shifts a little as the Sun moves into your solar eighth house on the 23rd. Mars will do the same on the 30th. These influences bring light to--and stir--your passions. Your need to connect intensely with someone or something comes into focus. You're getting into a period when taking charge of financial matters that you may have swept under the rug can be most productive.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
October 2021 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From October 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 30th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From October 30th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

October 2021 Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

October 2021 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar sixth and seventh houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, work, and one-on-one communications. Be as non- judgmental as you can with a partner and with co-workers. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as good at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership or a job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners, co-workers, and superiors, or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
After the 18th, information blocks lift.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until October 15th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
From October 15th forward:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Venus moves into harmony with your sign from the 7th forward, helping you attract positive attention and feel more comfortable with your feelings and pursuits. It's a fine period for personal charm and attractiveness–you're incredibly likable and relatable. Sharing ideas and beliefs with someone special can bring a relationship to a new level. You're likely to enjoy chatting with others and exchanging ideas or talking through problems.
With Saturn's direct turn on the 10th, you feel more equipped to take charge. Truths coming to light help you get a better grip on the reality of friendships or projects, a long-term plan, aspiration, or goal. You're in better shape for meeting responsibilities.
Mercury and Jupiter turn direct on the 18th, contributing to a hopefulness about your friendships and long-term plans. These events can bring your social life to life. Connecting brings more joy. Conversations and projects begin to move forward.
It's a great month for tackling problem areas in your relationships and putting them behind you. A relationship can improve tremendously by focusing on long-term happiness goals. Teamwork can be golden now! A significant someone can be an excellent sounding board for your ideas. You might lay the groundwork for promotion and networking, and you draw others to you with your sincerity and confidence. Opportunities to advance or reach your goals seem to arise through relationships and contacts. People in your life are encouraging you, or your relationship with someone is a motivator for handling a problem.
The 20th brings a Full Moon in your sign, and feelings bubble up to the surface with great force. You can have epiphanies about your needs as this lunation brings unacknowledged personal needs to the front burner. It can be an important time for checking in with those feelings and desires that you've brushed off or left unfulfilled, especially with so much recent attention to others' needs.
The month's focus shifts a little as the Sun moves into your solar eighth house on the 23rd. Mars will do the same on the 30th. These influences bring light to--and stir--your passions. Your need to connect intensely with someone or something comes into focus. You're getting into a period when taking charge of financial matters that you may have swept under the rug can be most productive.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the fifth house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
