Aries Monthly Love Horoscope

Oh, the feelings! You could be awash in emotion this October. With Venus slinking through Scorpio and your sexy eighth house (until October 17) and Mars hiding out in Cancer’s domestic shell all month, October offers major cuffing-season energy. If you’re in a secure relationship, seize the opportunity to bring more depth to your connection. No quickies—not with foreplay or important conversations about your childhood fears bubbling up to the surface! 

Single? Open up to someone who will take good care of your heart. (For cues and clues, look at how they treat friends and family.) Boudoir experimentation could get downright tantric under these spiritually awakened skies. You’ll be on the prowl for someone who can “match your freak” and also share space or make a house feel like a home. Tall order? Maybe for some signs, but you’re not one to settle, Aries!

The balancing act of “me” and “we” takes center stage in early October. Right off the bat, the October 2 Libra solar eclipse will activate your seventh house of relationships, prompting you to reevaluate your bonds or make a bold move. In the days that follow, Venus forms harmonious 120 degree trines with mature Saturn (October 4) and motivated Mars (October 8). 

Whether you’re talking engagement or “hard-launching” a relationship on social media, your commitments are ready for a new chapter to unfold over the next six months. This is a pivotal time to sort out the right balance between YOUR priorities and the demands of your most important ties. 

On October 17, Venus soars into adventurous Sagittarius, inviting you to switch up the scenery and embrace the spirit of adventure. Even as Mars keeps spurring you toward commitment, Venus will find freedom to be a major turn-on. Open up to a variety of new people and experiences. The key is striking the right combination that marries your independence with stability—not unlike fellow Aries Lady Gaga and fiance Michael Polansky.

Staycations at hotels, steamy makeouts in cars (and bars) or even a different room of the house can keep it hot. Cross-cultural and long-distance relationships get bonus blessings from Venus in Sag during this time. An attraction to someone from a different culture or background than yours could spark up. For couples, this is a favorable cycle to travel together. After a busy summer, you deserve a getaway with your partner—especially amidst the craziness of election season!
