Aries Monthly Forecast

The big picture is coming back into focus, Aries! For many Rams, 2022 has been one of the wildest years you’ve had in a while, thanks to expansive Jupiter taking up residence in your sign. From May through late October, it’s been nonstop novelty and opportunities to put your solo endeavors on the fast track. With eclipses touching down in your money houses all year, you may even have started to monetize your great ideas—how perfect for your trailblazing sign!

On October 28, Jupiter slipped back into Pisces and your twelfth house of healing conclusions, joining soothsayer Neptune. Things quieted down a bit, and you’ve been given a window to say a grateful farewell to the old. Wrap any unfinished business before you swan-dive into your next life chapter, Ram. From December 20 of this year until May 16, 2023, Jupiter will trek through Aries and rev your engines once again!

With the Sun in Sagittarius and your visionary ninth house until December 21, you’ll already feel the excitement and anticipation. After that, el Sol transitions into Capricorn and heats up your ambitious tenth house. You’ll be motivated to make concrete plans and to jump-start your 2023 resolutions—with a few breaks for holiday revelry mixed in, of course.

But pace yourself, Aries: Mercury will be retrograde from December 29 until January 18, pressing pause and throwing some delays in your path. Use this bottleneck to conduct more due diligence. You might unearth an important clue, if not a better option altogether!

How about drafting your intentions this Christmas Eve? The sky will host FIVE planets in Capricorn: the Sun, the (just-new) moon, mindful Mercury, social Venus and intense Pluto. Nobody says you can’t talk business at the buffet or solicit a wise mentor for advice. 

Christmas Day looks like the best one for socializing since the moon will move into Aquarius and your eleventh house of friendship. Make the rounds, go eat leftovers with your people, meet up with your crew and get into the festive spirit.

As an added incentive to fill your celebration tanks early, the New Year’s Eve forecast isn’t quite so joyous. As mentioned, Mercury will be retrograde, and the moon will also be in Taurus and your practical second house. It’s a nice atmosphere for a touch of budget-friendly luxury, dressing up and maybe getting home early enough to watch the ball drop on TV. 

The somber global economic climate will be felt under the pragmatic Taurus moonbeams, and you might be wise to keep your own spending in check tonight. (That doesn’t mean you can’t have a lovely time, Aries!). As the calendar turns, magnetic Venus and transformational Pluto will unite in Capricorn and your aspirational tenth house. Spend some time in contemplation about how you can add more soul to your 2023 goals. Do a manifesting ritual, make a vision board, set intentions and share them with your companions. An amazing New Year awaits you, and the more clarity you can bring to it, the better.

Go forth and make merry! The Sun is in Sagittarius and your buoyant, optimistic ninth house until December 21, putting you in full-on festive form for holiday party season (which seems to be back in a real way this year). You’re bubbling over with excitement and grand ideas, so this is your chance to connect with others who are feeling that captivating enthusiasm. You may also have some much-needed wisdom to share with the world. Go ahead and post those inspirational quotes, send out uplifting holiday cards or deliver a thought-provoking message.

With the Sun in your ninth house of travel, learning and adventure, you’re itching for new horizons. Instead of buying more “stuff,” why not treat yourself and your favorite people to experiences as holiday gifts? Whether you do a hands-on workshop together, find an Airbnb in an intriguing destination or splurge on plane tickets, think of enriching ways you can make memories.
