Overview
2023 is set to be a year of increasing responsibilities for you, given Saturn’s move into your career zone. You may also be rethinking the boundaries around you when Pluto changes signs. However, Jupiter blesses the most spiritual zone of your chart with bliss and serenity.
Financially, 2023 may start off rocky, especially during the Full Moon on January 6th, when money becomes tight and choices have to be made. There’s a brighter moment on February 20th when the New Moon shines from the very top of your chart, but one of the year’s biggest moments comes on March 7th - this is when Saturn moves into the career zone of your natal chart, for the first time since 1996.
Saturn’s arrival here brings power and recognition, but those responsibilities really start to ramp up, too, and you may feel increasingly hemmed in for a while. A Full Moon in your family zone on the very same day highlights how difficult it is to have it all.
Later in March, on the 23rd, Pluto also changes signs, heading into your freedom zone for the first time in your life. This very challenging transit encourages you to break free and pursue freedom obsessively at all costs - which is clearly an urge in conflict with Saturn’s drive.
Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse on April 20th may bring drama around social groups, friendships, or charitable commitments; with your ruling planet Mercury turning retrograde the following day, you’ll want to seek some time and privacy by yourself. The twin Lunar Eclipse on May 5th brings to light hidden information about work colleagues or your everyday routines and could cause a shakeup in these areas.
The good news is that after a stressful four months, peace and inner calm are on the way - especially when Jupiter changes signs on May 16th. This serenely beautiful influence does wonders for your mental health. Spiritual practices like meditation, yoga, or divination will help to keep you centered and happy.
June is a very positive month, which sees Mercury arrive home in your own sign on the 11th, and a Gemini New Moon on the 18th - both of these days are excellent for growing your confidence and making fresh starts. However, when Mercury turns retrograde on July 28th, you can expect family chaos for a short while.
August and September promise increased passion in your love life, especially when Mars moves into your fun zone on August 27th. A charming New Moon in your family zone on September 14th increases family togetherness and probably accompanies some very good family-related news.
The Solar Eclipse on October 14th, however, brings shocks and surprises in an area of life where you have recently taken a risk. The fallout may be very unexpected, but very real. Hang in there until the Lunar Eclipse on October 28th, which will reveal a secret that helps you steady the ship.
During November, your career is back in the ascendancy, with Mercury moving to the very top of your chart on November 10th, and a Gemini Full Moon on the 27th giving you plenty to be proud about. To round out 2023, the focus is firmly on love - a New Moon in your opposite sign on December 12th is a lovely time for dating, while Venus’ arrival in this part of your chart on December 29th prompts a loving, romantic New Year celebration. Love and Romance
With much of the emphasis this year on your work, career, and responsibilities, it’s perhaps no surprise that your work-family balance may struggle at times. However, being conscious of this will help you keep your life more in harmony.
An early indication of potential family tensions comes on March 7th - the same day that Saturn changes signs. A Full Moon occurs in the family zone of your natal birth chart, suggesting emotional stress here - but being open and honest with your loved ones will help.
The following Full Moon on April 6th brings much better news; shining from the most joyful area of your chart, it’s a cosmic reminder that happiness is always within your reach, should you choose to grab it.
June is a very good month for either dating if you’re single, or for celebrating and boosting an existing relationship. The Full Moon on June 3rd is ideal for making a romantic commitment, while on the 11th, your ruling planet Mercury arrives in Gemini, greatly increasing your charisma and charm. The Gemini New Moon on June 18th sees you proud to be yourself - and people will love you for that. The self-confident, passionate vibes continue into July, too, and the Full Moon on July 3rd is hot, hot, hot for love.
Mars, the passion planet, changes signs and spices up your love life from August 27th onward, yet, do be aware that this planet can bring fireworks of anger as well as passion. If things become rocky in your relationship, you can look to the New Moon on September 14th for some welcome stability and structure returning to this area of your life.
However, a month later on October 14th, the Solar Eclipse hits the dating area of your chart. Someone you meet around this time could change your life in a somewhat dramatic fashion - for better or for worse. Be careful with how much trust you initially give someone, because the Lunar Eclipse on October 28th suggests that much is being hidden from you.
The after-effects of these Eclipses may continue to be felt through November, but December appears to be a brighter and more stable period for romance, starting with the New Moon in your opposite sign on December 12th. With Mercury turning retrograde in your passion zone the following day, however, you’ll need to be very honest and transparent about how you feel. Venus moves into your opposite sign on December 29th, bringing a huge upsurge of love and romance - just in time for a very promising New Year.
Money and Career
As mentioned, it’s the arrival of Saturn in your career zone on March 7th which provides a key theme for the year ahead. Your responsibilities will increase dramatically around this time, but so will your rewards. Forewarned is forearmed, so plan ahead during January and February for this change of pace. The Full Moon on January 6th occurs in your money zone and will need careful budgeting, while the New Moon on February 20th is an opportunity to rethink your ambitions and long-term plans.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, moves into your career zone on March 2nd and will help you take a pragmatic, analytical approach to the big changes brought by Saturn. Staying logical and focused will help you deal with Pluto’s drive to break free from responsibilities. Although this influence begins on March 23rd, it will last for around 19 years - your mindset during the first few days will be critical in setting the tone moving ahead.
Focus on increasing your prosperity so that you do at least have plenty to show for all your hard work. Mars moves into your money zone on March 25th, energizing your income streams and driving you to accumulate abundance. Try to avoid taking any unnecessary risks with money, however, because the Full Moon on April 6th warns against impulsive or risky behavior.
If your work circumstances are difficult, the Lunar Eclipse on May 5th could help - this reveals something previously unknown about colleagues or about ways in which you can accomplish things. The news might be surprising, but it should ultimately be useful. Keep your spending in check after May 7th, however, because luxury-loving Venus transits through your money zone for a while.
With Mercury arriving home in Gemini on June 11th, your confidence soars, as does your ability to have others back you. The Gemini New Moon on June 18th could be one of your most successful days of the year. On June 26th, Mercury changes signs and heads into your money zone, so you can be very financially skillful between then and the New Moon in your money zone on July 17th.
Going back to the struggle between responsibility and freedom, a key decision may have to be made around August 30th, when the Full Moon shines from the top of your chart. The Solar Eclipse on October 14th warns you not to take chances with anything - or anyone - you cannot afford to lose, but when Mercury arrives in your career zone on November 10th, you will see matters more clearly. November 27th is set to be another highly successful period, showcased by the Gemini Full Moon.
December is a relatively calm month for your work and finances - but be very careful not to overspend during the holiday season. A Full Moon in your money zone on December 26th reminds you that debts must be paid.
