ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):
In this life, you’re learning to blaze trails and pioneer change. A recent podcast episode of Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast was titled, “You’re not crazy, you’re just first.” How many times in your life have you been the one to take a risk, embodying the courage to live outside your comfort zone? You’ve developed some immunity to criticism and learned to follow your own north star. This month’s astrology signifies a breakthrough in your relationships. The urge to be free competes with your desired commitments. The Libra Sun reminds you to prioritize balancing the two sensibilities, while fueling your Aries inner fire through creative collaboration.
The Solar Eclipse on October 2 highlights a turning point in a partnership. You have a choice to make. While the relationship may be growing to new levels of connection, you may have reservations about next steps to take, especially with financial or home-related decisions. Mars shines in Cancer, softening your independent will and cooling your jets for a time. Consequently, you may notice more of a buildup of energy that needs a release. The eclipse asks you to let go and close a chapter, but without much insight about the new chapter unfolding.
On October 13, Mercury enters Scorpio, helping answer questions about finances, taxes, or wealth-building. Mercury’s influence lets you prioritize organizing the details of all your economic affairs. This happens days before the Aries Full Moon on October 17. This lunation centers on your physical wellbeing, and you could be inclined to exercise, reduce stress, or tend to health-related concerns.
Venus enters Sagittarius on the seventeenth as well, highlighting the fun side of romance. In this relationship-oriented season, this transit lets you find ways love can feel freer, which can help offset the intensity of the Sun in Scorpio (from October 22 – November 22).
