Aries — October 2026 Monthly Overview
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars — direct, fast-moving and instinctively competitive. This page is the month's real sky, computed from the JPL DE421 ephemeris: where the Sun, Moon and planets actually are in October 2026, and the dates the Moon spends in Aries. It is a general overview, not a personal reading — personal transits need your birth chart.

What this is — and isn't
- It is the month's actual sky: planet signs, ingress dates and Moon phases computed from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
- It isn't a personal transit reading. Transits are measured against your natal chart, and this page has no birth data — no houses, no solar return, no dated personal predictions.
