ARIES Horoscope For October 2010

Again this month, love can be on the complex side. While you are likely to begin the month quite confident and optimistic about your love life, various challenges enter the picture in the second week of October. The New Moon on the 7th brings a new beginning of sorts to a close partnership. There may be talk of commitment and responsibility now, or problems in a partnership could become quite glaring. Venus moves in retrograde motion from October 8th to November 18th, and this can point to some cooling down of affections or emotional distance in a partnership. Some of you will be reassessing matters of the heart, a partnership, or a love affair, and some will find a partner is not as expressive when it comes to affection and loving gestures. Others may be experimenting with various forms of intimacy without commitment with the energy of loving Venus muted and both Mars and Eros moving through your intimacy sector. With Saturn in your partnership sector, many of you are taking matters of the heart more seriously, whether that means considering making a stronger commitment or questioning whether a relationship is still viable. October 3rd is strong for bringing love into your life or for enhancing an existing relationship. Those of you who meet a new flame now should take it easy as Venus turns retrograde — enjoy the moment without expectations. Another Full Moon occurs in your sign this month (one occurred on September 23rd), this time at the end of the sign and indicating a conclusion of an important personal matter. Stronger days for love are more likely on October 3rd, 19th, 26th, and 28th. October 4th and 22nd are potentially more challenging days for love and require a little more care.
