Aries
Mars begins energizing your solar eighth house today, dear Aries, where it will transit until November 24th. It’s a fine cycle for exploring an absorbing connection or project. Power politics can stir in a close one-to-one relationship, and it’s best to try to clear the air as soon as possible if this is the case. You tend to be driven by instincts during this cycle. Sometimes, this transit correlates with disputes over money. You may need to take action or take the lead in connection with shared finances, loans, or debts. Desires run more deeply than usual and can be quite layered and complicated. There can be stronger energy and motivation for serious study and research in the period ahead.

Today, you seek mind-expanding experiences that broaden your horizons in some way, however big or small.Aquarius
