************
Aries ♈ March 21–April 19
The focus this month is on your 1st House of self and identity. The Full Moon in Aries on October 17th encourages bold, courageous actions, prompting you to prioritize your independence and personal goals. With the Sun in Libra in your 7th House of relationships, finding balance between your needs and those of your partnerships becomes important. It is possible that you may feel torn between asserting your own desires and meeting others’ expectations. At the same time, your partnerships will need attention, making it a bit difficult for you to navigate the dynamics between personal goals and relationship demands.
Additionally, as Venus enters Sagittarius on October 17th, you may feel a strong desire for freedom in love, inspiring you to seek excitement and adventure in your connections. This may manifest in two ways: you might meet someone who shares your adventurous spirit and encourages you to break free from routine, or you may find that your interests outside of romance—such as travel, philosophy, or culture—become intertwined with your romantic pursuits, leading to connections that are both stimulating and meaningful.
