The Week Ahead for Aries
Monday, October 26th – Sunday, November 1st
ARIES
This is quite the opening to the last week of October. A full moon squared by Pluto brings simmering issues to the bubble, ideally to resolve them even if it takes a deep dive in some dark waters to do so. The full moon cuts across the financial axis of your solar chart so while the prospect of an ending might involve putting signatures on contracts it could also mean that time has run out for a loan or some other monetary matter. Finances require a cool, clear head so avoid panic actions. Indeed, the same advice could go for other situations that in the heat of the moment could prompt an extreme but unnecessary response.
Let the heat die down.

Monday, October 19th – Sunday, October 25th
ARIES
Whatever the actual season, it’s getting dark and mulchy in astrology land. It’s Pluto season! Of course, it has its recommendations: you’ll be able to get to the bottom of a matter and deliver of your best in terms of demanding tasks, but it’s not going to be a bundle of laughs. Add to this, Mercury’s retrograde turn, and being prepared for obstructions of one sort or another is advised. Venus is also on a retrograde path and meeting up with Pluto again, so current developments may have their origins in those of mid-September. Take your time.
A deep dive.

The Month Ahead for Aries
November 2026
Life is complicated in November. You’ll need to rein in your Aries impulsiveness and look more deeply into people’s actions and statements. And be more nuanced in your own. On the 14th, Venus gets back on track helping smooth out the wrinkles in working and romantic relationships, however, you may also come to see that someone has not been entirely honest with you. Only you can decide whether to forgive and forget. Money matters are under Jupiter, so you could do well with income and investments but a financial problem could escalate.

The Year Ahead for Aries
There are two distinct halves to the year. Until the end of June, Jupiter will be encouraging you to build your future, whether through your career or putting down roots, improving family life, even moving home. You may see your reputation rise and there could be welcome additions to the family. And perhaps because so much of your time has been focussed on “getting your act together”, by July, you’ll be ready to start enjoying life. A trip to foreign parts, an invitation to a special occasion, possibly an event where you will be the star attraction.
