October 2012 forecast - Aries

I follow the sidereal calendar; this forecast is for birthdays from 14th April to 13th May

The full moon at the end of September brought things to a conclusion or into the open in your house of work, colleagues, health and routines. In a wide conjunction to Uranus, there might have been a sudden change in work or health routine that left you feeling as though a bit of me-time is required. You then start October with a burst of energy, keen to implement new routines in your health and / or work before the Sun moves into your 7th house of partnerships in the middle of the month.

After over two years in the 6th house of health routines and work, Saturn also shifted signs and has now settled firmly in your 7th house for the next 2.5 years. Wherever Saturn is in our chart, there are lessons to be learnt and this area of life is seriously put to the test, so this transit forces you to get rid of old baggage in relationships. You might already have a feeling what this relates to – it might be business partnerships, it might be your personal one-to-one relationships. In any case, in opposition to the Sun, this gives Aries a much more serious outlook on life and relationships. At the moment, things seem to be moving awfully slowly. However, this is not a transit to be worried about - Saturn gives you the opportunity to eventually break free from fears and limited relationships. Mercury joins Saturn in this house on the 1st of the month, allowing you to speak your mind! It allows you to communicate clearly with your partner and get things in the open. Now is the time to get things of your chest. On and around the 11th, Mercury sextiles Pluto, supporting you in your quest for the truth and helping you to dig deep to get to the source of things.

It’s also a good transit to go out and seek advice from a lawyer or doctor – an expert in his field that might be able to shed light on some of the things that are on your mind.

Meanwhile, Mars transits the 8th house of good loving, so it might get hot under the sheets for some Aries, renewing the sparks that disappeared under the surface. This might also be the better option than quarrelling about joint finances which might be the downside of this transit. Avoid the ego-clashes and unnecessary arguments with your loved one and you should get around conflicts when it comes to finances. Mars also makes impulsive and with Jupiter going retrograde in the 2nd house of income, maybe leave the credit card at home once in a while. Other areas of focus with this transit might be around your pension, insurance, tax, inheritance or bank loans - expect a burst of energy there if you've been waiting for things to move.

Jupiter going retrograde on 4th October for four months signifies a more introspective time. In Vedic astrology, retrograde motion is considered to make a planet stronger unless it is in its exaltation sign in which case it acts like a debilitated planet. In the 2nd house, you might be re-evaluating or maybe restoring your beliefs, perhaps your self-worth and what you truly value.

Pluto still squares Uranus, so for some Aries there might have been some limitations on what you want to do and how to express your individuality - this transit will still go on for a number of year (until 2015) so ensure you find creative ways to express your individuality. It is important now for Aries to do what they want to do and even start a new business.

The month ends with a full moon on 29th October, again putting the spotlight on close relationships. Full moons bring something out in the open and it feels like all those the conversations you’ll be having in October around the future of your relationship and joint-finances will reach a peak then.
