Today's Aries Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

October 21, 2021

Friendships benefit from sharing ideas, ideals, and encouragement today, dear Aries. Even so, there is some tendency to feel in flux today. The Moon aligns with Uranus, and it's a good idea to give yourself and others space and freedom. Also today, Mars and Pluto are heading toward a square, producing some tension. As the day moves forward, there can be a tendency to lock heads with others, instigate, or attempt to force a matter. Tensions about work and responsibilities can be triggers, or there can be disagreements about priorities. If you fear that you will not get your way, there can be a temptation to manipulate, or if someone in your life is frequently taking the reins, you'll want to make changes now. Resentments might surface, but this also gives you the chance to see what anger or hurt you've been holding onto to your detriment.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Thursday, October 21, 2021

The Moon spends the day in Taurus, and we tend to crave stability, favoring steadiness over innovation.
However, Mars and Pluto are heading to a square, exact very early tomorrow and strongly influencing today.
With this transit in play, we crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and/or circumstances and become frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it.
However, attempts to gain control or power tend to be fruitless.
This square can stir intense desires that may not easily be satisfied.
There may be arguments, standstills, and power games.
It would be wise to observe and learn from whatever powerful feelings arise from confrontations or conflicts.
We should try to remain flexible, perhaps devising strategies for achieving our goals rather than attempting to push them through at all costs.

This Month: Aries

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.

This Year: Aries

2021 Yearly Horoscope Overview

The year 2021 brings a strong focus on your social life, networks, communication skills, and pet causes, dear Aries. This list includes your business goals or income for those in business for themselves. Team efforts or collaboration are in the spotlight.

Even so, you’re reorganizing and changing things up so that you can improve your friendships and connections–or your feeling of connectedness, in general. It’s about making room for connections, relationships, and projects that empower you rather than hold you back.

In a sense, you’re going through a clean-up or a period of fine-tuning in your social life so that you can live more authentically. The benefits of this reset are great, even if they’re not immediately apparent.

Your connections and networks can lead to meaningful new goals in 2021, or they can take you on a beneficial path. Friends can be of practical help to you. New long-term initiatives and exciting causes and missions are likely to emerge.

While there remains some pressure on your sector of career, reputation, accountability, and responsibility, there is far less of it in 2021. This year, you’re appreciated for how well you get along with others more than how you’re performing or what you’re accomplishing. This is a forward-moving, optimistic time, even if there will be times when you’re a little overscheduled in your social world.

It remains important to bring specialized focus to getting the career that truly suits you and for pushing your practical and professional interests forward. The good news is that you feel less restricted in these areas.

Eclipses encourage you to pay special attention to how you communicate, connect, and present your ideas. Polishing these things will go a long way towards your happiness and fulfillment. This can also be a time for boosting a relationship with a sibling, classmate, or neighbor. More involvement and improvement figure strongly.

Mars, your ruler, spent the second half of last year in your sign. Its extended stay was due to a retrograde cycle. While it may have left you feeling sluggish or hesitant, ideally, you’ve learned a lot about what makes you tick. You begin 2021 ready and willing to right your path, understand your desires, and confident about achieving your goals.

The emphasis is on more meaningful, streamlined, or business relationships in 2021. You’re taking your associations and friendships more seriously until March 2023. It’s a fabulous time, in fact, for forming a reliable connection or for quality business networking. With Saturn in supportive aspect to your sign, too, it’s a time of feeling more like you are on solid ground.

Financial ups and downs or uncertainties this year ultimately lead you to discover unique and creative ways to make and manage money.

Chiron continues its transit of your sign this year. Chiron illuminates the wounds you have accumulated over the years with regards to your self-esteem, which isn’t always comfortable. However, you get the chance to work on these issues and find ways to heal them. Openness to the process is crucial.

You’re far more serious about your ideals and causes, and you’re especially drawn to people who are like-minded–in fact, differences in values or opinions can be more glaring. You may feel that you have little time for friendships or associations that seem to distract you or that don’t feel right or productive. Connections formed this year can be quite permanent, or at least, long-standing–the “real deal!”

In many ways, 2021 is about learning to live your truth, and as you do, you feel healthier and more comfortable with yourself. Friendships benefit. You care more about who you have in your corner.

This Year in Love: Aries

2021 Love Horoscope for Aries

There aren’t many direct long-term influences on your love life again this year, dear Aries. This often means the year is status-quo–not a headline year for love, in other words.

However, there are many shorter-term influences on your love and relationship sectors that deserve attention, and these are outlined in the monthly and daily horoscopes. In this column, we’re looking at the bigger, longer-term influences, and while they’re not direct ones, some indirect influences are well worth noting.

A Chiron influence on your sign is a healing one, and it continues this year. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities—both personal and professional—are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive ones.

As Chiron illuminates the wounds you have accumulated over the years with regards to your self-esteem, this may not be the most comfortable of transits at times, but you are given the chance to work on these issues and find ways to heal them. Openness to the process is crucial.

Sometimes, what’s no longer happening is notable, and for you, Saturn is no longer square to your Sun in 2021. For Aries born later in the sign, this influence left in December 2020, and it’s really a big “phew” for many. While it’s an ultimately useful transit for organizing your life, it feels heavy when it’s happening.

Essentially, you’re no longer wearing an overly serious manner, and you’re no longer feeling as much weight of responsibility. It’s true that Pluto is still in hard aspect to your sign, and Pluto is a very long-term aspect…cont’d

Special note concerning Covid-19

Special note:

Astrological transits continue in their cyclical ways no matter the current situation. They should always be adapted to what’s going on in your life in sensible ways. This applies at all times, but is particularly relevant now during this health crisis. During the very vital quarantines, if the planetary transits are suggesting it’s a great time to socialize, for example, it makes sense to adapt this to online socializing. Let’s be safe and protect one another through social distancing, if possible. Much love, Annie (March 18, 2020)

My heart goes out to all those experiencing difficulty. Love, Annie (April 1, 2020)

Here’s to a happy and successful day!
