Monthly Horoscope: Aries
Aries horoscope (March 21 – April 19) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planetary ingresses, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 8th house: a month of change. Tradition links it with shared money, debts and whatever it is time to let go of.
By tradition the tone of the period is light: harmonious aspects (6) clearly outnumber tense ones (3). A good time to move things forward and ask for what you want.
Mon, November 9, 2:03 AM — New Moon in Scorpio, 8th house. A New Moon in your 8th house is by tradition the time to deal with shared money — loans, taxes, insurance, debts — and to let go of what has run its course.
Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 8th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — shared money and change — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Fri, November 13, 7:29 PM — Venus stations and turns direct again (in Libra, 7th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — partners and contracts — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Sun, November 22, 2:24 AM — Sun changes sign: now in Sagittarius, 9th house. The Sun in the 9th house: a month of horizons — travel, study, new ideas, anything that broadens your outlook.
Tue, November 24, 9:54 AM — Full Moon in Gemini, 3rd house. A Full Moon in your 3rd house resolves correspondence and negotiations: answers arrive, misunderstandings are cleared up. By tradition be extra careful on the road and behind the wheel.
Wed, November 25, 6:38 PM — Mars changes sign: now in Virgo, 6th house. Mars in the 6th house: a heavy workload and friction with colleagues; tradition advises pacing yourself.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 7th house is by tradition a time of unions: harmony in the couple, a good time to make up, get engaged or married. Singles meet people through others.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.
Until November 25. Mars in your 5th house is by tradition a time of passion: strong attraction, the thrill of courtship, vivid encounters. The risk is jealousy and impulsive acts.
From November 25. Mars in your 6th house: less energy for love — work takes it all. By tradition irritation from fatigue easily spills over onto loved ones.
Aspects of the period: Nov 4 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter (harmonious); Nov 10 — Venus ⚹ Mars (harmonious); Nov 28 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter (harmonious).

From November 25. Mars in your 6th house is by tradition a strong placement for work: lots to do and lots done. But friction with colleagues and overwork are frequent companions.
Saturn in your sign: by tradition a time of professional maturing — workload and responsibility grow, recognition comes later but lasts. Be stricter with yourself and gentler with your energy.
Mercury in the 8th house: paperwork on loans, taxes and inheritance, serious talks about shared money.
Mercury is retrograde right now. By tradition, this is a time to review and redo: old issues and people come back, and new contracts, trips and tech purchases are best planned with room to spare.

Health and energy

Saturn in your sign: by tradition a period of lower energy and chronic fatigue. A routine, sleep, care for teeth, bones and joints.
When the Moon is in the 8th or 12th house from your sign, by tradition it drains your strength — rest on those days; in the 1st house and in the 5th and 9th (trines to your sign) you have the most energy.

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Aries is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. Each area is analysed separately: love through Venus and Mars, work through Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money through Jupiter and Venus, energy through Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Aries
The ruler of the sign is Mars. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Aries than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
