Aries Monthly Horoscope

Mars Retrograde and Relationships, Babies, Children, Millennials

Aries, you spend November with Mars Retrograde in Leo in your Fifth House which describes sexual relationships (with parenthood potential). This same house, or horoscope zone, also points to babies, infants, schoolchildren, teenagers or Millennials (Gen Y). Backwards action describes it. Mars is your ruler. What you might normally expect to be over and done within a few days (like a break-up) or even a few weeks (blending the families) will drag on into 2025.

Aries, you can accept that you’ll have an inner conflict or someone else will. Mars is the god of war. Obviously, you’d pick a different period to conceive a child, enrol your son at university for 2025 or talk to your daughter about her career. You’d want something other than Mars Retrograde in Leo to fall in love with. In fact, Aries, it becomes much easier if you realise you are cycling backwards (or they are). Real breakthroughs in understanding once you realise how Mars works.

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

This is when you could adopt or conceive, but with rescheduling or perhaps even retracting a promise. It marks a new beginning in terms of the next generation in your circle of friends or within the family, but backwards. Of course, Leo is not just about your own children, godchildren, nieces, nephews or grandchildren. This zodiac sign is associated with raising the young, by educating them or influencing them – setting an example. So a teaching, mentoring or guiding role could be reshaped backwards, or even come to nothing.

The phrase ‘Marry in haste, repent at leisure’ is redolent of Mars, the planet of impulse, heat, speed and action before thought. Mars is also notorious for strife, so be sharply aware of November 2024 as the start of a pinball machine game where the ball will be pinging all over the place until June 2025. Yes, June 2025. If you have Leo factors in your natal chart, you can double that message. This is personal for you.

Nearly There with Career/Study Issues

You will be (soon) in a much easier position with your profession, unpaid vocation or academic career. Even though November will give you a couple more hurdles to jump on this Olympic marathon, you should be able to see the light at the end of 2024. By Christmas, only the Sun will remain in this zone of your chart (in terms of factors of any importance) and the intensity of this year in particular should be a fading memory. This has been about social status and success. But it’s really been about your formidable willpower and steely self-control, hasn’t it?

In terms of your success, achievement, ambition and status, you did what you had to do and learned a lot. Yet, life should never be that hard. Once you have jumped over a couple of barriers, you will get your second wind and from the middle of November. Use what you are left with to take full advantage of an opportunity to park the past in the past.

The Recent Past

You need to (even now) get over 2017 when Saturn (slow, serious, stuck, sombre situations) moved into your job, study and unpaid work zone, as you have been dealing with a long and drawn-out process of tests and trials for many years.

The other reason for the long and drawn-out feeling of tests, trials and waiting games was the South Node of karma, also in Capricorn, from November 7th, 2018, until May 5th, 2020. The South Node put you on a repetitive loop, taking you back to karma from April 10th, 2000, until October 13th, 2001, in your working life, your profession or your student life. This will all take time to unpack in November.

As if that wasn’t enough, Aries, you have also been living with Pluto (a slow and intense transformation) in your Tenth House of success, status, ambition and achievement too. Pluto entered Capricorn and your Tenth House on January 26th, 2008, and remained there on and off into late 2024. So, these years of steady and deep change also need reviewing as it has been affecting the balance of power with your staff, colleagues, employers, clients, professors or classmates. It is notoriously a cycle of demotions, departures, promotions and new appointments, Aries. Boy, do you ever need December to relax on the sofa with a Bloody Mary.

As for Neptune in Pisces in your Twelfth House – that has been your escape throughout as this transit has been about private escapism. The Twelfth House is about your unconscious mind, your soul, your spirit or etheric body. The Twelfth House is linked to out-of-body experiences as much as it rules psychics or psychologists. For years now, you have been taken into alternative realities through being alone. Meditating, dreaming, experimenting with the Tarot or exploring Christianity are all good examples of what it means to have Neptune in the Twelfth House. Finding an alternative world through your hypnotist, your religion; astrology; Tarot cards; counselling; psychics; psychologists has been your ‘out’ for some time. Again, this is a closing cycle. It finishes in 2025.
