Full Moon in Aries, 15 October: your 1st house
The Full Moon is exact at 13:47 UTC on Friday 15 October, with the Moon at 21°58′ Aries and the Sun opposite in Libra. For Aries the Moon lights your 1st house, the house of the self and the body, while the Sun stands across in your 7th.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the October axis runs through your 1st house, the Hour-marker, showing how you have been showing up, and whether the face you present still fits the person behind it. Set in your 1st house, the October lunation takes its tone from its sign: Aries makes the mood direct and impatient, more willing to begin than to wait. Read as an axis, from your 1st house to your 7th, this October Full Moon runs along the axis of self and partner: how much of the year is yours to steer, and how much is shared.
One way for Aries to meet it in October: write one sentence about who you are this year that does not mention your job or anyone else.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Aries forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadNew Moon in Scorpio, 29 October: your 8th house
On Friday 29 October the Moon and the Sun meet at 5°54′ Scorpio, at 13:37 UTC; for Aries that degree lies in the 8th house, the house of shared money, intimacy and deep change.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in October that beginning is made in your 8th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Idle Place, and it is read as an intention about trust and intimacy, made quietly and kept quietly. In your 8th house this October, Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner.
One way for Aries to meet it in October: review an insurance policy, a will or a tax matter you have left alone.
Planets changing sign or direction in October
Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, your 8th house, appearing to stand still and then move backward through the zodiac for 21 days, until 28 October. The turn comes on 7 October, at 4°55′ Scorpio, and Mercury retrograde in your 8th house is read as a time to review shared finances, taxes and insurance, and to reopen a conversation about trust.
Venus crosses into Scorpio on 8 October and so into your 8th house. Until 1 November, with Venus in the house of other people’s goods, the tradition reads a spell when support, favors or shared resources may come more easily.
On 15 October Mars moves into Sagittarius, which is your 9th house. Until 25 November, Mars in your 9th house sends the will abroad: bold travel, fierce convictions and arguments about belief.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Libra on 16 October, returning to your 7th house until 10 November, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in marriage and partnership, and close one-to-one bonds is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, your 11th house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 18 October, at 4°44′ Aquarius, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Aries’s hopes for the future, and patrons and allies through October.
The Sun enters Scorpio, your 8th house, on 23 October at 15:33 UTC. Until 22 November, with the Sun in the house of other people’s goods, the season favors settling accounts, in money and in feeling.
Mercury turns direct in Libra, in your 7th house: the backward loop that began on 7 October ends, and plans that stalled can move again, a little slowly at first. The turn comes on 28 October, at 19°18′ Libra. For Aries what was under review in marriage and partnership, and close one-to-one bonds can begin to move after 28 October, though the tradition counsels a few more days before signing or launching anything large.
Love, work and money for Aries in October
Venus begins October in Libra, your 7th house, and enters Scorpio, your 8th, on 8 October, turning affection toward intimacy, trust and the shared life two people build with their money and their secrets.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Scorpio, your 8th, into Sagittarius (your 9th) on 15 October, so the drive of the month shifts toward teaching, publishing, law, travel for work and further qualifications.
For money, Mercury turns retrograde in your 8th on 7 October, Venus arrives in your 8th on 8 October and the Sun arrives in your 8th on 23 October: the house of what is shared and owed. The tradition would make October a time to review debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life in Scorpio’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
Questions to carry through October
- Where am I starting things out of habit rather than desire?
