October is all about partnership and intimacy for you, Aries.

It's Libra season, little ram, which means your focus is on partnerships. Anticipate plenty of excitement in that arena! Your ruling planet, Mars, is busy, too. It will connect with Pluto on October 1 and meet with Venus on October 5. Its connection with Pluto will find you making power moves in your career and your reputation—big changes will go down! You'll power through projects and make a name for yourself.

Venus and Mars' connection will find you beginning a cycle of self-care and wellness. Reimagine what a healthy, happy schedule or daily routine looks like to you. You'll certainly need to do this as you experience many important shifts in your professional life.

Back to partnerships, which October heavily focuses on, Aries: There's a full moon in your sign on October 5. It will bring a turning point, a climax, even a confrontation in, or related to, a relationship.

The energy will be emotional, and you'll be as impulsive as ever, but don't overbook yourself, because you'll be exhausted! You'll discover things about yourself, and what you want from relationships, during this full moon. You'll realize you have ideas or emotions you're ready to let go of.

Full moons are times of release, so endings may be in the air; however, so are new beginnings, with a new moon, in Libra, on October 19. This new moon will bring a fresh start to your partnerships. Cut ties with whomever you have to, and look forward to the new beginning!

Venus enters lovely Libra on October 14, bringing blessings to your relationships and putting you in the mood to connect and compromise. You're famous for your fearlessness in confrontation, Aries, not for how you compromise. However, Venus, in charming Libra, may change that! But not permanently—Mars also enters Libra on October 22, a sign that Mars isn't wild about being in.

Libra wants us all to get along, but Mars is the planet of war, so watch for passive aggression and sharp tongues. As sweet Venus and fiery Mars walk through Libra, you'll learn about the give-and-take in your partnerships, your values, and what you need to stay balanced in relationships.

Jupiter enters sexy Scorpio on October 10, activating the sector of your chart that rules sex and intimacy. Expect to make plenty of deep connections over the next year as lucky planet Jupiter travels through this mysterious, sensual sign!

You spent the last year, when Jupiter was in Libra, making new connections—now you're ready to get to know these people a little better. This hasn't only affected your romantic relationships. You've built trust with so many people while Jupiter was in Libra, and as a result, Jupiter in Scorpio will bring a payoff in these relationships you've committed to—like cash.

Surprising news arrives in your relationships, on October 15 and 19, when Mercury, then the Sun, oppose Uranus. Uranus is the rebel of the zodiac; it craves freedom and innovation. News will arrive that changes how you look at things. A freeing message may come your way, or, if you're resisting change, you'll likely face a surprise that hits you where it hurts: your ego. Stay flexible, embrace nonconformity, and expect your ability to compromise to be tested.

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 17, then meets with Jupiter on October 18, followed by the official start to Scorpio season, October 23. This is a powerful occasion on many levels—your sex life, for sure—as a profound meeting of the minds will take place. Secrets will be shared, and emotional transformations will occur.

This also bodes well for your finances. Money that you're owed, or vice versa, will be paid, or at least, a new plan will manifest (on how to manage the issue). Just be careful not to commit to more than you're able to—Jupiter tends to exaggerate. Listen to your intuition. Scorpio is a psychic energy, and your abilities will be heightened. Good luck this month, and see you in November!
