Now to the Monthly October Horoscope...
G’day, Aries! There's plenty in store for you and I’m Rose Smith, your Aussie astrologer, here to guide you through the month ahead. I’ve looked at your Aries Sun sign through the lens of Western astrology, using the Tropical Zodiac, Equal Houses and the Mean Lunar Nodes. You can also check your Moon and Rising sign horoscopes for a deeper look at your feelings, personal life and the timing of important developments. ✨
Love Life and Relationships
This month kicks off with the Sun lighting up your Libra seventh house, putting love, partnership and one-to-one relationships firmly in the spotlight. With Mars, Jupiter and the South Node retrograde continuing through your Leo fifth house, romance, passion, pleasure and old love patterns could all stir things up. It’s time to enjoy the spark, but also have a good look at what - and who - genuinely makes your heart sing.
Venus is in your Scorpio eighth house as October begins and turns retrograde on the 3rd until November 13. During this time there's a deeper, more reflective tone to your love life, where you think and feel more about love and joint assets. Mercury joins Venus here on the 7th, making it easier to have honest conversations about intimacy, trust, shared finances and those feelings you usually keep tucked away. You may find yourself revisiting old relationship issues or taking a second look at what you really need from a close connection.
The Sun opposes Saturn Rx in Aries on October 4, which could bring some serious relationship realities into focus, while the Sun's opposition to Chiron Rx in your sign on the 22nd may touch on old wounds around love and partnership. Venus enters Libra on the 25th bringing more harmony to relationships, but then opposes Chiron on the 28th. Don't be too hard on yourself if something tender gets stirred up and you feel hurt or emotional. Sometimes facing an old sore spot helps you understand yourself and your relationships more clearly.
Passion and Potential Conflict
There's plenty of passion in the mix, too, with the planet of love Venus squaring Mars in your Leo fifth house on October 11. This can bring strong attraction but also the odd clash of wills, especially with all sorts of partners, marriages and romantic liaisons. Venus squares Pluto Rx in your Aquarius eleventh house on the 20th, potentially turning up the intensity around friendships, social circles or the balance of power in a relationship. Keep your cool and don't let a moment of jealousy or frustration turn into something bigger than it needs to be. Creative pursuits can also feel similar effects.
New Moon at Libra 17° 21'
The New Moon in your Libra seventh house on the 11th gives your love life and close relationships a lovely fresh start. You may feel ready to reset the balance in a partnership, open your heart to someone new or simply get clearer about what you want from relationships. It’s a beautiful opportunity to leave old relationship habits behind and create something that feels more equal, honest and mutually satisfying.
Sabian Symbol for Libra 18°
“Two Men Placed Under Arrest”
This Sabian Symbol reminds you to pause and take a good, honest look at your part in your closest relationships, particularly where boundaries, fairness or responsibility may need attention. Rather than seeing this as something ominous, think of it as a chance to stop an old pattern in its tracks and choose a healthier way forward.
Career and Finance
Taurus, the second house of finances and values is empty this month. However its house ruler Venus along with Mercury continue through your Scorpio eighth house as the month begins. These placements encourage you to take a closer look at shared finances, investments, debts and financial arrangements, while trusting your instincts when it comes to money matters. Your tenth house also remains empty, with its ruler Saturn retrograde in your zodiac sign, suggesting a more personal and reflective approach to your career goals and ambitions.
Careful with Money Matters
Money matters may feel a little more complicated than usual this month, particularly where friends, groups or shared financial interests are involved. Mercury square Pluto Rx in your Aquarius eleventh house on the 3rd can bring intense conversations or hidden concerns to the surface. Meanwhile Venus square Pluto Rx on the 20th may have you taking a closer look at who contributes what, where your financial loyalties lie and whether certain arrangements still feel fair.
From the 23rd, the Sun moves into your Scorpio eighth house, shining a brighter light on shared finances, debts, investments and financial commitments. With the Sun joining Venus on the 24th and then squaring Pluto Rx on the 26th, you may need to deal with some deeper financial or emotional issues rather than sweeping them under the carpet. By the end of the month, Mercury Rx squares Mars in your Leo fifth house, so avoid making impulsive money moves or spending just to scratch an emotional itch.
Mercury Retrograde at Scorpio 20° 58'
On the 24th Mercury turning retrograde has you thinking more deeply about shared finances, investments, debts and financial commitments. Take your time with important decisions and double-check the fine print, as this is better suited to reviewing and reassessing your money matters than rushing ahead. It's not the best time to make important financial or travel decisions until after November 13 when the messenger planet turns direct. Even then, waiting an additional week or so would be well advised, so that you don't get caught up in shadow energy.
Full Moon at Taurus 2° 45'
The Full Moon in your Taurus second house on the 26th puts your money, income and personal values firmly in the spotlight. It’s a good time to take stock of what you have, what you need and whether your financial priorities are still working for you.
Sabian Symbol for Taurus 3°
“Steps Up to a Lawn Blooming with Clover”
The Sabian Symbol for Taurus 3° speaks of steady progress towards greater security, comfort and abundance. Take things one step at a time and appreciate the opportunities that are already beginning to bloom around you.
Home Life, Family and Friends
Starting the month, your fourth house is empty, with its ruler the Moon in Gemini in your third house. This brings your attention to family conversations, connections and keeping in touch with the people close to home. Siblings, cousins and extended family may feature more strongly, with chats, visits or family news helping you feel more connected this month. Pluto and the North Node both retrograde in your Aquarius eleventh house encourage you to take a deeper look at your friendships, social circles and the communities you belong to, Aries. You may find yourself reconsidering where you fit in, who you want around you and which alliances still feel meaningful as you move forward.
Mars in your Leo fifth house sextiles Uranus Rx in Gemini in your third house on the 7th, bringing lively and spontaneous energy to conversations with family, siblings, cousins and extended family. Creative family activities, outings or something a little different from the usual routine could be a great way to have fun and reconnect with the people you love.
Mars in your Leo fifth house opposes Pluto Rx in your Aquarius eleventh house on the 3rd. This could bring some tension between your personal life, family or creative pursuits and the demands of friends or social groups. Pluto turns direct on the 16th, helping you gain a clearer sense of where you stand with friendships and group connections and what needs to change moving forward.
Health and Well-Being
Your sixth house is empty, with its ruler Mercury in Scorpio in your eighth house, suggesting that your everyday wellbeing may benefit from paying attention to deeper emotional and psychological needs. There’s no other major activity in your sixth house this month, so focus on maintaining healthy routines and listening to what your mind and body are telling you.
Look after your health by keeping your daily routines simple and sustainable. Regular movement, nourishing food, quality sleep and plenty of downtime can help you stay balanced. Paying attention to stress and emotional wellbeing may be just as important as looking after your physical health.
Spirituality and Personal Development
Your Pisces twelfth house is empty as the month begins, with its ruler Neptune Rx in Aries in your first house. This helps you to turn inward and pay closer attention to your intuition and spiritual needs. Your Sagittarius ninth house is also empty, with its ruler Jupiter in Leo in your fifth house, linking personal growth and learning with creativity, joy and self-expression. Neptune and Saturn continue retrograde in your first house, inviting you to reflect on who you are, where you're heading and whether your current path still feels true to you.
To top it all off - Chiron is also retrograde in your sign, suggesting you will be working through old wounds in order to develop a stronger sense of self. Independence and autonomy are your mantra this month dear Rams!
Mars in your Leo fifth house trines Neptune Rx in Aries on the 3rd, giving you a lovely boost of imagination and inspiration that can help you express yourself creatively and follow your intuition. The Sun in Libra opposes Saturn Rx in your sign on the 4th, bringing a more serious tone and encouraging you to take responsibility for your personal growth and the direction you're heading. When Mars trines Saturn on the 16th, you have an opportunity to turn inspiration into something practical, combining enthusiasm with patience and steady effort.
Aries Monthly Horoscope for October 2026 - Astrology Summary
October 2026 brings Aries a mix of passion, reflection and opportunities for personal growth. Relationships take centre stage, while Venus retrograde encourages you to reconsider matters of intimacy, trust and shared finances.

Now to the Aries September 2026 Forecast
Hello there Awesome Aries, I’m Rose Smith your Aussie astrologer. Your horoscope is based on your Sun sign using Western astrology, the Tropical Zodiac and Equal Houses. I also use the Mean Lunar Nodes. For extra insight, you can also read your Moon sign and Ascendant (Rising sign) horoscope for additional emotional insight and timing.✨
Love Life and Relationships
Spring kicks off with Venus in Libra lighting up your seventh House of relationships - honestly, Aries, it doesn’t get much better than this for love and partnership! Jupiter and the South Node retrograde (Ketu in the fifth house) continue their journey in Leo, involving romance, pleasure and creativity. This could bring plenty of opportunities for fun, flirtation and heartfelt connection. Whether you’re single or coupled up, September is looking pretty damn gorgeous for matters of the heart and you'll have a lot to think about!
September also starts with Venus trining the North Node (Rahu) in Aquarius your eleventh House, bringing a lovely sense of connection through friendships, social circles and shared dreams. You never know who might suddenly become rather interesting! Then Venus slips into Scorpio and your eighth House on September 10, turning up the emotional and physical intensity, with deeper intimacy, trust and those deliciously private conversations coming into focus.
Mid Month - a Tender Time
Venus opposing Chiron on September 11 could be a particularly sensitive time for love and relationships, bringing old wounds, rejection or feelings of not being valued to the surface. Try not to make permanent decisions based on temporary pain, as this aspect can reveal what needs healing rather than simply telling you that something is wrong.
Mercury makes some fascinating connections on September 13–14, beginning with a powerful trine to Pluto in your 11th house that can bring intense conversations, deeper understanding and perhaps a revelation about someone in your wider social circle. Then for even more spice, Mercury’s opposition to Neptune in your 1st house could muddy the waters at the same time, so be mindful of assumptions. Enlist some patience regarding mixed messages or hearing what you hope someone means rather than what they actually said.
Then a Sudden Turn Around
Mercury trines Uranus in your third house, bringing a sudden breakthrough, unexpected news or a completely fresh way of looking at a relationship. So despite a few confusing moments, you could end up seeing the whole situation from a very different angle. By September 23, the Sun enters your seventh house and puts partnerships firmly in the spotlight.
Mars storms into your fifth House of love, romance and pleasure on September 28, offering a big boost of passion, confidence and playful energy. You’ll be far more inclined to chase what - and who - you want, so if there’s a spark, don’t be surprised if things heat up rather quickly!
Then planet Mercury's move into Scorpio on September 30 takes you even deeper into matters of love, trust and emotional honesty.
Career and Finance
In September, your 10th House of career is empty, but its ruler retrograde Saturn in your 1st House, putting the focus firmly on taking responsibility for your own direction and reassessing where you’re heading professionally. Chiron retrograde in your 2nd House may stir up old wounds around money, self-worth or what you believe you’re worth. However, this month you've got at least a chance to start healing old wounds and to value yourself more highly.
Mars squares Chiron Rx in your 2nd House on September 27, potentially stirring up sensitivities around money, self-worth and what you feel you deserve. Keep an eye on expenses, because impulsive spending or an unexpected cost could highlight an old financial sore spot and remind you to be a little more careful with your cash.
Career isn't where the biggest action is this month; instead, September is about reviewing your career or life direction and getting smarter about money, expenses and self-worth.
Home Life and Family
Mars in Cancer fires up your fourth house through September, so home and family could be a little more emotionally charged than usual. There's bound to be plenty of energy going into sorting things out around the house or dealing with family dramas. However, there could also be some frustration if delays or obstacles pop up.
Then on September 1 Mars squares Saturn retrograde in your sign Aries. This can make things at home feel a bit stop-start, particularly if family members aren't seeing eye to eye with you. Luckily, Mercury in Libra in your seventh house forms a helpful sextile to Mars the same day, giving you a much better chance of talking things through, finding common ground and getting everyone moving in the same direction.
Health and Well-Being
Early September sees the Sun and Mercury continuing through your sixth house of health and daily routines, putting a spotlight on getting organised and looking after the little things that keep you running well. It’s a good time to sort out your routines, listen to your body and make a few practical tweaks that help you feel more balanced and on top of things.
On September 15, the Sun in your sixth house sextiles Mars in your fourth house, giving you a welcome boost of energy to improve both your daily routines and your home environment. Making practical changes around the house or creating a more peaceful space now has a positive knock-on effect on your energy and overall wellbeing.
New Moon in Virgo at 18° 25' on September 11
The New Moon in Virgo lights up your sixth House, giving you a fresh opportunity to reset your routines and put your health and wellbeing back on the priority list. It’s a great time to start healthier habits, get organised and make those little daily changes that can have a surprisingly big impact on how you feel.
Sabian Symbol for Virgo 19°
“A Swimming Race”
A Swimming Race is about having a go, testing your abilities and seeing what you're capable of - but do remember, you don't have to beat everyone else to come out ahead. Yes, the competition, effort, personal performance and testing yourself is there but it's also about developing your abilities through practice and disciplined effort.
For your New Moon at 19° Virgo, this is nicely aligned with the themes of health, daily routines, work and self-improvement. The message is simple: keep practising, keep improving and don't get so caught up in competing that you forget how far you've already come.
Spirituality and Personal Development
With your twelfth house empty but ruled by Neptune retrograde in your zodiac sign, September encourages you to turn inward and explore the deeper layers of your identity, intuition and spiritual life. Your empty ninth house is ruled by Jupiter in your fifth house, suggesting that personal growth can come through creativity, joy, playfulness and following what genuinely lights you up.
Also, Neptune and Saturn continue both retrograde in your sign, Aries, making this month a potent time to slow down and recommit to who you truly are. You can take this opportunity to get brutally honest about where you’re heading. You’re being asked to balance your dreams with reality, ditch what no longer fits and build a stronger version of yourself from the inside out.
Neptune sextiles Pluto on September 16, bringing a subtle but strong wave of spiritual and psychological transformation. This will help you tune into your intuition and deeper sense of purpose. You might feel drawn to explore what lies beneath the surface, let go of old patterns and open yourself to a more authentic understanding of who you are and where you're heading.
Chiron retrograde returns to your sign on September 18th, Aries, bringing old wounds around identity, confidence and self-worth back into focus for deeper healing. This is a chance to face whatever still makes you doubt yourself, with compassion rather than criticism, and reclaim parts of yourself you may have pushed aside.
Full Moon in Aries 03° 36' September 27
The Full Moon in your sign on September 27 puts YOU front and centre, Aries, bringing emotions, personal needs and matters of identity to a head. You may suddenly see where you've been putting everyone else first and this is your chance to reclaim your independence. Go right ahead, speak your truth and make a decision about what you really want moving forward.
Sabian Symbol for Full Moon at Aries 4°
“Two Lovers Strolling Through a Secluded Walk”
The symbol has lovely themes of intimacy, companionship, privacy, affection and choosing to step away from the noise of the outside world to connect with someone or something meaningful. For an Aries Full Moon, that adds an interesting relationship dimension to what might otherwise look like a very self-focused lunation.
Aries Monthly Horoscope for September 2026 - Astrology Summary
Your Aries Horoscope for September 2026 shows a powerful mix of passion, growth and personal reinvention. Jupiter, the Great Benefic planet, continues to boost your fifth house, bringing opportunities for gain, good fortune, romance and creative expression. Venus adds harmony to relationships, while Mars gives you extra charisma and confidence to chase what you want.
However, Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your sign suggest a little caution around major decisions, particularly when you’re feeling impatient or uncertain. The Full Moon in Aries brings a turning point, while Chiron’s return highlights healing and personal advancement.
Many Spring Blessings to Aussies & Kiwis with Autumn Healing to the rest of the world.
