Aries Horoscope TodayMonday, 26 October 2026
Your 2nd house holds the Moon on Monday 26 October, in Taurus, so Aries starts the day with your income and what you do to earn it. The Full Moon (Hunter's Moon) at lands in your 2nd house, what you think you are worth, in money and otherwise.
Aries today, house by house
With the Moon in your 2nd house, security turns physical: food in the cupboard, money in the account, a coat that keeps out the rain. Comfort matters more than usual. Spend on something that lasts rather than something that consoles, and sleep on anything large.
- The Moon squares Pluto in your 11th house, a hard angle, so handle the network that sends work your way with care. A power struggle, or a feeling of being controlled, and naming it helps.
- A square from the Moon to Mars in your 5th house. Haste causes mistakes; slow down at the steps that need care. Neither your skills considered as something you can sell nor fun, hobbies and the weekend has to win outright.
Where the Moon goes next
After this house comes your 3rd: the Moon enters Gemini on . A 3rd-house Moon puts you on the move locally: the shop, the school gate, the bus. Short trips go well and long ones feel like a chore. A brother, sister or neighbour may be on your mind, and getting in touch is easier today than it will be next week.
Mars today: the ruler of Aries
Today your ruling planet, Mars, is in Leo at 15°53′, which is your 5th house, moving direct. A ruler in the 5th house suggests creative risks pay better than careful repetition. Watch 30 October, when it squares Mercury in your 8th house.
Aries this week: 26 October to 1 November 2026
- Full Moon at 2°46′ Taurus, the Hunter's Moon. The Full Moon lands in your 2nd house, opposite the Sun in your 8th, so what is yours and what is shared pull against each other. Bills, joint costs and loans come into focus, and it is a good moment to see exactly who pays for what.
- Being visible has a cost today. The Sun in your 8th house and Pluto in your 11th make a square, which strains inheritance and what passes between generations.
- Friction is useful only if it gets something done. Mercury's square to Mars puts strain between debts, insurance and the paperwork nobody enjoys, in your 8th house, and children, yours or other people's, in your 5th.
- Last quarter, 9°26′ Leo, your 5th house: a good point to stop doing what is not working in creative work done for the pleasure of it.
The slow planets in your houses
Jupiter in your 5th house is traditionally a good year for love affairs, children and creative work. Enjoyment grows, and so does the bill for it. Jupiter leaves Leo on 26 July 2027. Jupiter in Leo for Aries rising
Saturn in your 1st house asks for a sturdier version of you: better sleep, fewer promises, a plan you can keep. It feels heavy at the start and leaves you more solid. Its stay in Aries runs to 12 April 2028. It turns direct on 10 December. Saturn in Aries for Aries rising
Uranus in your 3rd house speeds up your thinking and your local life: new routes, new tools, sudden news, and a habit of changing your mind mid-sentence. Its stay in Gemini runs to 3 August 2032. It turns direct on 8 February 2027.
Neptune in your 1st house blurs the edges of your self-image. People project onto you, and you may not be sure which reflection is accurate. A few fixed routines help. It stays in Aries until 21 May 2038. Moving backwards until 12 December.
Pluto in your 11th house changes your social world at the root. Groups gain influence over you, or you over them. Aquarius keeps it until 8 March 2043.
If Aries is your rising sign
Rising-sign houses are the more precise use of this reading. With Aries rising, today's Moon sits in your natal 2nd house, and the house doing the most work this month is your 1st, home to Saturn and Neptune, which means your body and the way you come across. Find your rising sign
