Your October 2026 Horoscope for Aries
by Susan MillerIf you are making a promise to the one you love, your ruler, Mars, will be helpful to you. Mars is in Leo (7º) and will signal the new moon and Sun in the marriage sign of Libra (17º). The aspect is wide, but still within 10º, the required area of influence, and Mars will still be able to have a positive effect. Attached couples will have the edge over single Aries and may choose a new goal to work toward with their spouse.
Early in the month, make it a point to get as much done on your to-do list as possible. Not only is Venus on the verge of going retrograde (October 3 to November 13), but Mercury is about to go retrograde as well, from October 24 to November 13 (going direct the same day that Venus goes direct). Mercury will slow things down, so you will need to be organized and aware that Murphy’s Law will be in effect. Watch the details. (Murphy’s Law says that if things CAN go wrong, they WILL go wrong.)
Before you get to Mercury retrograde, you have two excellent days coming up that could allow you to be highly productive.
The first one arrives Thursday, October 15, when Jupiter will be in lovely orientation to the Sun, a four-star day when things will work in your favor. It might turn out to be your most fortunate day of the month.
The second day will arrive on the following day, Friday, October 16, when Mars will be in perfect alignment with Saturn. Actions you take now can lead to long-term gain on this outstandingly positive day.
