A new moon in Libra on October 8 gives you the new start you’ve been looking for. This transit offers you a much-needed sense of balance to help you find your footing, Aries. Take any help that’s offered as you start your new journey. A Venus-Mars square on the tenth could cause issues between you and a friend or co-worker, especially when a little friendly competition is involved. You always play to win, but be careful not to let your competitive spirit overtake your good sportsmanship. A Mercury-Venus conjunction on October 15 means you can talk almost anyone into almost anything, so it’s a great time to go shopping! It wouldn’t be surprising if you walked away with the deal of a lifetime. The sun enters intense Scorpio on the twenty-third, at which point you feel the full power and confidence of the sign that shares your aggressive ruler Mars. What do you want the most? Now is the time to go out there and get it. Mercury enters adventurous Sagittarius on October 31, urging you to express your grand ideas. Do you have a solid plan that will get you from point A to point B? Probably not, but right now spontaneity is the best part of the trip.

The month begins with Mercury shifting comfortably into Virgo’s practical house on September 5, and you should notice some very precise thought and speech patterns. This is a placement that doesn’t like to waste time or energy on excess frills, which you can totally relate to. There are still a lot of pesky details to deal with, but you handle them like a pro. Your home planet of Mars just got out of its retrograde cycle last month, and you’re enjoying its full powerful effect again. There’s some erratic energy when it enters quirky Aquarius on the tenth, and you might have better luck getting what you want through unconventional methods rather than trying to use sheer force. You have a very strong urge to break free from restrictions during the square between Mars and Uranus retrograde on September 18, but what else is new? The problem comes from retrograde Neptune, since it could prevent you from acting on any of your rebellious impulses. Perhaps thinking before you act is a good thing anyway. The enthusiastic sun-Mars trine on the twenty-seventh boosts your confidence and gives you the green light to start new projects. Begin with the most difficult tasks and move your way down the priority list.

You’re interested in what makes people tick when Uranus turns retrograde on August 7. You think actions speak louder than words, but this transit helps you slow down and listen. A Venus-Mars trine on the seventh creates a nice steadiness between your softer side and your aggressive sex drive, so romantic matters take on a very balanced energy. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, you give off a welcoming vibe that can greatly improve your love life. Your power planet Mars moves into Capricorn on August 12, encouraging you to work even harder for the things you want. Your persistence and unwillingness to give up make you an excellent champion for underdogs and other people who are struggling. When you’re on someone’s side, their chances of winning increase a lot. If you get a pat on the back for a job well done during the sun-Uranus retrograde trine on the twenty-fifth, it’s okay to be proud of yourself. You’ve worked hard to get to this point and it’s nice to be recognized for your efforts. A Venus-Pluto retrograde square on August 26 brings simmering tensions to the surface, so be very careful about how you proceed. Your actions have serious consequences.

Watch out, Aries, because your power planet Mars has an antagonistic opposition to talkative Mercury on July 5, resulting in some anger and resentment. You aren’t ever afraid to say what’s on your mind, but your forwardness can upset others who’d rather avoid confrontation. You’re fairly assertive as the moon passes through your sign on the fifth and sixth, and you may not listen to reason. Letting your impulses lead the way could lead to trouble, though, so don’t be a completely open book. A sun-Mars opposition on July 27 brings out your aggression once again, but the focus this time is on competition and how you stack up against others. You’re determined to come out on top no matter what, but the ends don’t always justify the means. A trine between Venus and Pluto retrograde on the twenty-seventh heats up a current relationship or ignites sparks with someone new, but, as always, there are potential complications to be aware of. Just because you feel a strong attraction to someone doesn’t mean you should necessarily act on it, right?
