Aries

Aries (Ruling Planet: Mars; Element: Fire) If you’re a typical Aries, you’re a risk-taker. You’re a fire sign, so you’re adventurous, brave, and lively — all traits that attract others to the Ram, although most find it hard to keep up. You’re always down to try new things. You impulsively take up a new projects and yet still find the time to be passionate about them. However, Aries, you can be quite arrogant, thinking that you know everything, and you tend to be insensitive, impatient and stubborn, even to the point of being confrontational. Your motto is, “Act first, ask questions later.”

When Mercury moves into harmonious Libra on October 7th, which is also your opposite in the Zodiac, you should make space to focus on how to promote balance and equality in your life. The full moon in your sign about a week later could open doors for you, if you’ve been actively working towards that. On October 18th, Venus also enters a fire sign, Sagittarius, opening up some space for communication along with new experiences– it’s a good time to travel! Both the Sun and Mercury transit Scorpio later in the month, and suddenly your tone may shift, becoming more serious, with no patience for superficiality. With a new moon in this sign on October 30th, this could be a good time for research, especially as an outlet for any strong emotions you might experience rn.

Your Trax: To promote a harmonious environment, where you can bounce ideas off of people who support you, absorb the harmonious vibes of Bettye Swann’s “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye.” If you don’t do oldies, you can find the some more serious and mysterious duo energy in this cover of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Flock of Dimes and Sylvan Esso. And if you haven’t listened to moody jam-quartet Warpaint’s new album, Heads Up, do yourself that favor this month.
