Aries Monthly Horoscope

Dynamic new partnerships could spark up when you least expect it at the October 2 Libra new moon. This is an annular solar eclipse—aka “ring of fire” because a fiery circle of the Sun will be visible around the obscuring moon—which beams into your seventh house of commitments and companionship. Someone (maybe you) could propose a permanent arrangement, whether that's with an officialized relationship, a business venture or a signed contract. 

If you’ve been waffling on this for a while, get ready to make a firm decision soon. Since July 17, 2023, the change-making eclipses have fallen in Aries and Libra, drawing a sharp line between individuality (Aries) and togetherness (Libra). For the Aries and Libras of the world, it’s been an especially intense time of transformation. 

This is the final Libra eclipse in this series, which will come to a full completion on March 29, 2025, with an Aries solar eclipse. Consider the next six months a pivotal time to sort out the right proportions of “me” and “we” in your life—and to balance your priorities with the demands of your most important relationships. 

Another reason the Libra new moon of 2024 has added heft? This year, a unique cosmic lineup will accompany the Libra new moon. There are six cosmic placements in air signs that day—the Sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter, the karmic south node and the black moon Lilith “point”—spotlighting the most social and collaborative parts of your chart. 

Lilith in astrology represents your shadow, the part of you that can rise up in anger when one of your most important boundaries is crossed. The Sun, moon and Lilith [a]will all occupy the same degree at this eclipse, which could cause anger you weren’t even aware of to bubble up—potentially taking you and others by surprise.

Do your best to catch yourself before you lash out, Aries. If you can, proactively open up dialogue with your inner circle: How can you improve communication or distribute duties more equitably? Is it time to adopt a new role in your existing relationships? If you're always the one in charge, dial down the DIY and allow others to take the helm. And if you haven’t done your part to co-pilot the ship, this solar eclipse will blow the whistle and demand that you pull your weight.
