Aries Weekly Horoscope for the Week of October 5, 2026

Venus, Mercury and Mars, the three faster planets of the solar system and the ones with the most immediate impact on our daily lives, are all slowing down and in various states of preparing to turn retrograde, something that is going to have an impact on multiple aspects of your life. This is something that has already begun with Venus' return turn in your financial sector over the weekend. Just as she should be leaving and wrapping up a mission to update your financial desires, hopes and aspirations, this won't just keep Venus here and focused more on the past and untapped financial potential, but later in the month will see her retrograde back into your relationship sector for a do over. Knowing she is on her way back, the Sun is taking a more serious approach to knowing what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. At the same time, as Mercury settles into his first full week in your financial sector, he is slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn that will keep her until Venus returns in December. Meanwhile, Mars is making the most of the extra time he is getting to spend in a playful and creative part of your chart.
