You've got an active, productive month ahead, and next month will be even more so. December will be the opposite - quite messy - so try to squeeze everything you need to do into October and November. In December we have Mercury retrograde all month making shopping nightmarish, plus a difficult total eclipse of the moon on December 21.On top of this, your career will jump to life in a big way in December too, making it quite a complex month. The holidays are hard enough to navigate, but for you, December will be as confusing as it is busy - a tough combination. Dear Aries, heed my advice! If you put off things you need to get done for December, you will run out of time and incur incredible stress.
While not everything will go easily this month, most things will, and you will have lots of opportunities. Let's look at the month in detail and you will see it gets better as you go along. November, I feel, will be one of the best months of 2010 for just about everyone!
The first date I need you to watch will be a tense one. It's October 2 when Mercury will oppose Uranus. It will not be a day to debate anyone or to have an important meeting where an exchange of information will be key to shaping a new venture. This will be a Saturday but you may notice things getting tense with one person during the workweek on Friday. Stick to routine, and keep your head down and out of the line of fire. Storm clouds will clear quickly, thank goodness!
The following day, October 3, should be quite wonderful for love. Venus will embrace her lover Mars in passionate Scorpio, making this a heavenly day. For you, they will meet in the most affectionate, physically demonstrative part of the chart, so you will want to touch and be touched. It's a perfect day to carve out some time for "the two of us" if you have someone to love, but if not, then simply treat yourself to some pampering. This would be a good day to buy clothes, fragrance, makeup, or holiday gifts, or have a spa day (and that's true for my male readers, too).
This same meeting of Venus and Mars could bring you excellent news about money. It won't be about salary, but more about benefits, such as an insurance payout, court settlement, child support, generous severance package, bank loan, mortgage, or other money that comes to you other than your pay.
Act fast, for only a few days later, Venus will go retrograde from October 8 until November 18. This means Venus will dim her powers considerably at that time, so during that phase it would not be wise to have a major party, buy jewelry, or schedule any radical changes to your looks. It would not be wise to schedule any sort of plastic surgery or make big changes to your teeth or hairstyle. (Yes, you can do grooming tasks and trims.) Fortunately, Venus will be back in shape by November 18. Remember though, December will be a wild month, so you will want to initiate your most important actions involving fun, love, and looks (all the areas Venus rules) during the last 12 days of November.
The new moon on October 7 will appear in your seventh house of partnership and begin very serious, realistic discussions about getting married or forming an official business alliance. Saturn will be very close to the moon and Sun, and conjunct Mercury, which, all in all, will add a somber note. Everyone will feel this new moon in different parts of the chart, and for you, it will be in your collaborative, commitment-oriented seventh house of marriage and business alliances.
You may feel uncharacteristically cautious too, knowing the steps you are about to take are big ones that could cause your life to change, possibly forever. That's good! Saturn's main job is to materialize dreams through planning and a commitment to hard work. If you are up for that, Saturn will help you in a powerful and direct way, showing you how to go about achieving your goal in ways no other planet can do.
Besides, now that Saturn is in Libra, a placement Saturn "likes" to be, he will exert his best energies to you. Another recurrent theme you will see emerge will be to find ways to accommodate a partner's wishes without completely submerging your own. This is never an easy task, of course, and in the days following the new moon October 7 you seem to be uncovering all the very areas the two of you won't see eye to eye on.
If you have the patience to work though those roadblocks, you will eventually find accord. Saturn's very presence denotes the need to go slowly and methodically.
If the talks are with a career or business partner, Pluto's position suggests someone may try to box you into a corner in a very unfair and assertive way, but with planets moving rapidly, the impasse you feel initially may clear up in the second half of the month. With Mars, your ruler, touring street-savvy Scorpio, you will likely be thinking about money or negotiating financial terms all month.
With Venus going retrograde, be careful about signing any papers just yet. Venus not only rules love but also profit, so if your alliance is for business, you may find that the money you hope to make together may never materialize. This would be true only if you sign prior to November 18. Listen closely to all that is being said, but plan to work through the legal details later, then sign on November 19, 20, or 21 (the latter being the full moon).
One of your best days of the month will be October 20, when your guardian planet, Mars, now in Scorpio, will send both Jupiter and Uranus a lovely vibration. You will likely get help from an authority figure and when you do it will be completely unexpected. It may be a matter of your being at the right place at precisely the right time. Your street smarts and intuition will be razor sharp near October 20 too, so let your instinct be your guide. Others may not be on your wavelength yet, and may not completely see your vision, but if you have rock solid faith in yourself, chances are they will come 'round in time.
This month's full moon on Friday, October 22 will be 29 degrees Aries, highlighting you if you were born on April 19 or in the five days leading to that date. Give all full moons a plus or minus four days.
The closer your birthday falls to April 19, the more powerful this full moon will be for you. If you have 29 degrees Aries rising (or close to this degree), you will feel this full moon, too.
If you are an early born Aries, with a birthday that falls in March, then last month's full moon that fell on September 23, at 0 degrees Aries, was the more important one for you. Were you born in the middle of your sign, say, near April 7? You'll feel the effect of this full moon too, only a little less so. You may have planets in late degrees of Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, or Gemini, and so you would benefit, too.
This full moon on October 22 will get enormous help from Pluto - indicating a top level person is about to help you in your career - and from Neptune, indicating a friend will be inspiring and supportive, too. At the same time as the full moon, Mercury will be in perfect communication with Pluto, indicating just how articulate and persuasive you can be when you put your mind to it. A full moon in Aries suggests a new path or something entrepreneurial is attracting you, but as said before, the money may not develop as you assume, so go slowly for now and ask a lot of questions.
The weekend of October 24-25, when Mars and Uranus will partner up, surprises galore will be in store for you! This will be YOUR special weekend, for sure!
Then, on October 26, when the Sun and Pluto collaborate, you'll garner even more favor from VIPS.
I realize that you may be very concerned about money these days, for Mars has been tearing through your financial eighth house since last month, forcing up costs. Yet with all the career help you will get from major planets this month, you have reasons to be optimistic that something will come up. Of course, you will have to show the universe your intent and determination, but if you do, it seems your actions will be rewarded, so proceed with confidence!
Once Mars leaves Scorpio at month's end, the high level of spending will drop, and you will be less concerned about paying bills and finding ways to pay for things you need. You will also be less involved with financial paperwork, taxes, and other such concerns, too.
Mars, a fiery planet - and you (being a fire sign Aries) - will both be happier in Sagittarius from October 28 until December 7. Mars in Sagittarius will have you going on exciting travel in the weeks to come, or possibly going back to the classroom to become more knowledgeable about your industry. Life is getting better, dear Aries!
The month ends on almost everyone's favorite holiday, Halloween, Sunday, October 31. If you get invited to a party on Saturday night, October 30, it will be special fun, for the moon will be in the highly artistic sign of Leo. The costumes would be really entertaining and lots of fun to watch! What a wonderful night!
Your best romantic dates include October 3 (best) and to a lesser degree, October 15, 16, 20-22 (better, moon in Aries), 24 (Mars trine Jupiter - sexy!), 26, and 29-31.
Summary
The new moon of October 7 in your relationship sector will bring a serious, long-range meditation about your future with someone very important to you. You might make a binding promise or commitment very soon, for your house of legal contracts will also be involved too, a sure indication of the seriousness of your talks. Marriage is considered a legal agreement (even though we think of it as a wildly romantic decision), but if you are not nearing talks in a romantic relationship, there are other possibilities. For example, you may be forging a key business alliance. Whatever promises you make after this new moon will likely be in your life for many years to come, and very possibly forever.
If you find you're trying to forge a business or career-oriented alliance or deal, you may find a VIP to be obstinate. This is due to Pluto's position in your career sector, and this month he'll be showing his demanding side. Usually negotiations are a two-way street, but near the new moon, the VIP in charge will make it clear that would be entering his world and if you want to play in it, you'll have to do things his way. Of course, this type of treatment never sits well with Aries. You seem to be both attracted and repelled by the situation, but the money being offered may be so generous, it's probably simply too good to pass up.
If you decide to continue to talk and try to negotiate, be patient and keep working to find original solutions. You will conclude the deal by the full moon, October 22. This full moon will be in Aries, so you'll be at your persuasive best. Amazingly, you are likely to be satisfied with the outcome (even if you do wind up promising the 800-lb. gorilla the moon and the stars). A happy outcome may seem miraculous considering the on-and-off tensions of the month, but this full moon is about you, and it will help to satisfy your needs. Thanks to some very loving planetary energy at the time, everything does seem to work in your favor, on just about level, including financially
In matters of love, your ruling planet will be kissing close to Venus on October 3, a red-letter day for romance. The moon will be in luxury and romance-minded Leo, and you are sure to enjoy that first weekend of October. Your spirits will be flying high and you'll be feeling quite affectionate.
When your ruler, Mars, leaves Scorpio on October 28, your focus on money matters will end and will be replaced with more enjoyable pursuits involving travel and study. If you can't travel when Mars tours Sagittarius from October 28 to December 7, you'll investigate the culture scene around you in this widely expansive, exciting vibration. Your world's borders will drop away and a much wider view of life will begin to unfold before your eyes as October winds down and you step forward into November.
A note to my readers who live in time zones that are based far (12 hours or more) from the US:
I had a young woman ask me on Facebook if the dates I write each month applied to her, as she lives in Australia. Yes, they do, but you should add one day to the date I give you. The reason is that the dates I give here are for the United States time zones. If you live 12 hours ahead of the USA, then you might need to add one more day to the dates I give you. If I say October 3 will be special, mark your calendar for October 4.
Having said this, you may feel the energy on the dates I mention here as well. All aspects are strongest as they are growing in strength. Once they reach a peak (on the day I give you) they begin to decline. So if you live in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, or Japan, for example, you will see dates mentioned that are still on their way to peaking.
Generally you can add one day to the dates I list each month, but sometimes the dates I give you will be precise to the day. There are always mathematical tolerances, because astrologers use bell curves. Full moons, no matter where you are located, will have a plus or minus of four days on either side. It all sounds complicated, but it is actually not. You will enjoy your forecast, dear reader, as long as you realize all aspects have a bit of plus or minus associated with all of them, and that includes my readers in the US.
Dates to Note
You will be in a deeply meditative, serious mood as the new moon October 7 arrives. You seem ready to make a long-term commitment.
If you are making a business deal or career decision, you will have a very insistent VIP calling the shots. It's his game. The question is, do you want to live in his world? It's your call.
If you are ready to get engaged or married, you may be ready to commit forever.
You may be asked to sign legal papers on October 7 plus two weeks. Careful, because with Venus in retrograde profits may not develop properly if you sign in October. Wait until Venus turns direct after November 18 - my picks? November 19, 20, or 21.
That full moon of October 22 will be in Aries, so your interests are going to culminate and possibly reach fruition. If you were born on April 19 (or within four days), double that - this full moon is all about you and it's a positive one.
One possible manifestation of the full moon October 22 will bring a financial deal to a final stage. Keep negotiating - you'll hit the sweet spot!
Another good day for financial talks: when Mars and Uranus are partnered up to help you, October 24.
Earlier, the other good day (third choice) for money will be October 3.
You are a smart negotiator, but even you get tired of dealing with money all the time. When your ruler, Mars, leaves Scorpio on October 28, you will be able to travel and have more fun.
Your best romantic date of the month will be October 3, when your ruling planet, Mars, will give a kiss to his lover Venus. They love to be together, but rarely can meet, as both are on assignment in other places of the solar system.
Keep in mind Venus will retrograde from October 8 to November 18. This is a hard work, no-frills, time for love. This happens rarely so we all have to grin and bear it. Don't change your hair or have any plastic surgery during this phase.
