It’s officially October, and this year’s spooky season kicks off with an intrepid full moon in Aries on the 6th. Aries is a sign that likes to go full-steam ahead and attack problems with brute force. This year’s full moon in Aries encourages an independent streak and brings opportunities to upgrade on multiple levels—like finally finding the one puzzle piece that helps everything else click into place. 

Mercury moves into secretive Scorpio on the 6th too, and then squares off with powerful Pluto on the 7th. Though big moves are being made, it’s best to keep this progress on a need-to-know basis. 

Meanwhile, love and beauty planet Venus is finishing up her time in Virgo this week where she shows love through acts of service. Venus makes a supportive sextile to Jupiter on the 8th revealing the sweet benefits of a commitment made back in August and then opposes Saturn on the 11th as a reminder that commitments still require hard work.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

It’s a full moon in Aries on the 6th which means you’re feeling lit up, energized, and likely totally overwhelmed. Progress is being made—especially in family matters and working through debts—but having all eyes on you while it happens adds an extra layer of stress. Sweetness can be found through leaning into routines and taking care of your body. Just try not to get obsessed with perfection. Trying is what matters.

This week’s mantra: “Seen.”

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

The full moon in Aries on the 6th gives you some much needed space to hear yourself think. You’re finding the flow at your new job and your kids are finally settled into their school year routine. This week, you have time to take a yoga class or at least put your phone on Do Not Disturb for an afternoon. The weekend brings another challenging task to get through but luckily you have good friends willing to lend a helping hand.

This week’s mantra: “Pause.”

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

The last two years have brought a lot of dramatic change to your friend groups, and you’ve met so many new people. The full moon in Aries on the 6th is a chance for you to put all of those puzzle pieces together as you lead a community project. With your ruling planet Mercury now in Scorpio, you’re also ready to get laser-focused on a work project or fitness routine for the rest of the fall.

This week’s mantra: “Celebrate.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This week’s full moon in Aries on the 6th reveals some important information about the next steps you need to take in your career. After many ups and downs over the last two years, you’re finally able to see, with clarity, what’s working and what isn’t. This full moon could bring an opportunity for leadership or a project that gives you more creative freedom. Take some time to delegate the things you no longer want on your plate.

This week's mantra: “Visible.”

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The full moon in Aries on the 6th lights the way to your next adventure. Over the last few years, you’ve expanded your worldview, started school and gone on many incredible vacations. But what’s being revealed now feels grounded and purposeful and not overwhelming. A heart to heart with a family member or close friend will make the decision clear.

This week’s mantra: “Direction.”

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

This week’s full moon in Aries on the 6th reveals an opportunity to invest. The last few years have brought many ups and downs in your financial and emotional life—the highest highs and lowest lows—and as you reach another turning point, you’re feeling ready to pool resources and make an important joint investment. Try not to get too caught up in the details and psych yourself out. Either go all in or move on.

This week’s mantra: “Support.”

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

The full moon in Aries on the 6th allows you to see your options clearly. The decision you have to make around a partnership or contract isn’t easy. It might hurt. But you can’t go on pretending everything is fine. Walking away isn’t about giving up, it’s about self-protection. If you’re not ending something, but running into a connection headfirst this week, make sure you’re going where you’re held and valued.

This Week's Mantra: "Hold."

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

If you’re feeling stagnant at work or having trouble with motivation to head to the gym, this week’s full moon in Aries on the 6th is the spark that you need to get back on track. It’s scary to break away from what’s comfortable, but you’re running out of excuses not to make a big change. Mercury also moves into your sign on the 6th bringing you a much needed boost in confidence and self-expression.

This week’s mantra: “Fueld.”

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

The full moon in Aries on the 6th finds you on a hot date or reaching a creative peak. You’ve experienced a lot of ups and downs when it comes to your love life and artistic motivation over the last few years, and this week’s astrology gives you some free time to focus only on what you desire. Over the weekend, you’re back to work and family problems but give yourself at least one night of fun.

This week’s mantra: “Play.”

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

If you thought you were getting away with a “chill” visit to see family this week, think again. The full moon in Aries on the 6th turns your sister’s birthday party into The Family Stone. Hiding in the bathroom to text a friend while your siblings fight will absolutely bring some relief. But also make sure you stick around for the cathartic and healing revelations at the dinner table.

This week’s mantra: “Heal.”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

After weeks of dealing with debts and stressing about the “big picture,” the full moon in Aries on the 6th brings a much-needed night at the local bar or cozy evening with friends. Your friend group has changed dramatically over the last two years, but you’re finally settling in with the new squad. Details are also coming together for a big work project or leadership opportunity, but it’s not ready to be shared with the public yet.

This week’s mantra: “Simple.”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Your financial life has been a rollercoaster over the last two years, and with this week’s full moon in Aries, you’re finally able to see the situation for what it is. Though your bank balance is finally stabilized, this whole process was a major hit to your self-esteem, and that’s what you need to work on now. Opportunities to teach and share your wisdom will help build your confidence.

This week’s mantra: “Share.”
