Aries Monthly Forecast

Moving into October, we are not only moving into the most exciting months of 2025, but it starts on day one. While not a major player in terms of size, the queen of commitment is set to have an outsized impact on the closing months of 2025 and that includes in two very different areas of your life. After spending the majority of the year held back by a retrograde phase in your financial sector, Juno finally leaves on 1st October, not to return for another four years. Whether by coincidence or design, either Juno was waiting for Mars' return before leaving or the warrior planet of the cosmos was rushing to get here before she did. Mars' return late last month means that when Juno leaves, not only will the financial resolutions she has been working on all year remain in safe hands, but this will give the warrior planet of the cosmos something to fight for and to channel his financial passions and fighting spirit into, which he will do until leaving next month. Meanwhile, this will see Juno return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, where she will lead the way for a parade of planets that will return over the coming months. This includes Venus and Mars, who will meet up here later in the year for the first time in 19 years. This coincides with not only the end of all planetary activity on the job front for the year, but with things not picking up again on the career front until December. This won't have a negative impact professionally, for enough has already been invested to keep things in motion, but this will make finding the right work/life balance easier. Venus, the last planet to return and the last to leave this year, is here until 14th October, making the first two weeks of the month the most important for work and job matters. While the Moon will leave on 2nd October, starting the month with the Moon in your career sector will help with that, while ensuring your professional instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start.

While Venus, the planet of love not only left your romantic sector last month but ended all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, that she was late to return and therefore late to leave kept this going much longer into the year than is normally the case. That the Moon was here during her final days even added fuel to the spirit of romance, making this easier to hold onto. With no more planetary activity on the romantic front until mid 2026, the Moon's monthly visits are key to keeping the spirit of romance alive. This makes it important to pay attention and give love a chance when the Moon makes its first visit since Venus left from 14th October to 17th October. Meanwhile, because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. Again, because of a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus will be late to return and late to leave. Venus won't return until 14th October and with Mercury, the planet of communication leaving on 7th October and the Sun on 23rd October, she will end the month on her own and once again, able to bring things home. However, with a lot of water set to pass under the bridge before then and a lot having passed under before the Sun even returned. It was a day before the Sun returned last month that Mars left, but not before having spent six and a half weeks firing things up and especially the drive to fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Meanwhile, while it is a given that any planet moving through your relationship sector will clash with the planets in Aries, for the first time in 77 years with Uranus in your communication sector. The Moon was in your relationship sector when the Sun returned last month, but will come full circle from 19th October to 22nd October as a New Moon.
