Overview
There’s a very ‘grown up’ feel to your 2023, particularly with Saturn moving into Pisces. You will also start a nearly 20-year process of inner work, coming to terms with hidden trauma, past lives, and emotional angst through Pluto’s new transit in the spiritual zone of your chart. With Jupiter also changing signs, your everyday life looks to be packed with opportunities for learning and growth.
January starts off on an interesting note - the Full Moon on January 6th blesses your creativity and your leisure interests, and is a significant event if you’re single and dating. Venus’ arrival in Pisces on January 26th increases the romance around you, and the Pisces New Moon on February 20th is your chance to celebrate another mini New Year.
Things really begin to shift on March 7th, however. On this date, there is a Full Moon in your opposite sign, but it’s also the day when Saturn moves into Pisces. Saturn in your own sign can sometimes feel a little suffocating or depressing, but there are many positives here if you choose to embrace them - you’ll be grounded, sensible and practical, and much better able to cope with your often turbulent emotions.
On March 23rd, Pluto arrives, for the first time in your life, in the most secretive zone of your natal birth chart. Here, this transformative planet begins an 19-year mission to root out your past traumas, guilt, secrets, and sacrifices. It sounds terrifying, but this will take place very gradually, and all for your highest good.
On April 20th, prepare for a financial shock as the Solar Eclipse rocks the money axis of your chart. You may lose money - or you may gain money. Either way, your reaction is what matters most. The wheel of fortune is turning, so work to accept the situation instead of railing against it. The Lunar Eclipse on May 5th asks you to trust the Universe, even though you cannot yet see the full path ahead.
On May 16th, Jupiter leaves your money zone and arrives in a part of your chart that it hasn’t visited since 2012. Opportunities will come thick and fast around you, but they may be more disguised than in recent years. Practice saying ‘yes’ to the Universe and be willing to take some chances.
On October 8th, Venus moves into your opposite sign, spreading romance and happiness. However, a week later, the Solar Eclipse sparks intense jealousy and perhaps bitterness or recriminations in love. The way through this is to keep talking, talking, and talking. The Lunar Eclipse on October 28th warns of the consequences if you don’t.
During November and December, you’ll want to keep working hard and further your career, and there will certainly be opportunities for progress here, notably when Mars reaches the top of your chart on November 24th, and again during the New Moon on December 12th. However, it’s romance that’s on your mind as 2023 draws to a close, with a Full Moon in your pleasure zone on December 26th setting a very passionate tone. Love and Romance
Start 2023 by catching up on any home improvements you’ve been putting off. Mars turns direct in your home zone on January 12th, ending frustrating delays. January is also a very good month for dating if you’re single since there’s a Full Moon in the dating zone of your chart on January 6th - and with Venus arriving in Pisces on January 26th, long-term relationships get a loving boost too.
On March 7th, however, a startling Full Moon in your opposite sign could signal some emotional turmoil, especially since this is the same day that Saturn arrives in Pisces. The following couple of weeks could be sensitive, as you will need to adjust to a changing mood, and that’s bound to impact your partner too. Fortunately, with Mars changing signs on March 25th, you will still have plenty of passionate memories to make.
On April 11th, Venus cruises into the family zone of your chart, making this another very good time for home improvements or beautifying your living arrangements. Try not to spend too much, however, because a Solar Eclipse in your money zone on April 20th is very dramatic, and could create a great deal of discord if you and your partner disagree about finances.
If you’re hoping to move or to welcome a new family member or pet, the New Moon on June 18th is a very hopeful and joyful date, and Mars’ arrival in your opposite sign on July 10th is also a very good sign for romance. Be aware, however, that this latter influence can also increase tempers, not just passion.
Mercury turns retrograde in your opposite sign on August 23rd, leading to potential romantic misunderstandings and discord - take extra care to make your partner feel loved and cherished during this period. The Pisces Full Moon on August 30th will help you to be at your sensitive, nurturing best.
On September 14th, the New Moon in your love zone is a fantastic time for making a romantic commitment; if you’re single, you may meet someone very special around this time, or when Venus moves into your love zone on October 8th.
However, the Solar Eclipse on October 14th is very potent for you, packed with jealousy, spite, vengefulness, and searing intrigue. You may feel highly suspicious of your lover, or they of you - and perhaps with good reason. If you value your relationship, you’ll need to communicate openly and honestly at this time, especially since the Lunar Eclipse on October 28th points to hidden information coming to light.
Once the dust has settled, however, the rest of 2023 looks delightful for your love life. A glorious Full Moon in your family zone on November 27th may bring cause for celebration - and the Full Moon in your joy zone, on December 26th, is a very special way to end the year.
Money and Career
With Saturn arriving in Aquarius this year, your responsibilities - financial and otherwise - are front and center for much of the year. There could be early signs of discord on February 5th when an emotional Full Moon highlights conflict at work, or when luxury-loving Venus encourages overspending, having changed signs on February 20th.
Saturn and Pluto both change signs in March, on the 7th and 23rd respectively, creating important but subtle medium and very long-term changes in your lifestyle and attitudes. Immediate effects on your working life will be negligible, however - but that’s not something you can say about the New Moon in your money zone on March 21st, which could herald amazing financial opportunities.
Make the most of this while you can, because the Solar Eclipse on April 20th also impacts your money axis, and this is likely to create a shock or a drama that may feel very difficult at the time. The following day, Mercury turns retrograde, hindering your ability to think straight about what has just happened - look to the energies of the Lunar Eclipse on May 5th for a better, if sudden, insight into your situation.
When Jupiter changes signs on May 16th, your life will become increasingly hectic. You may take on far too many chores or errands, especially for other people, leaving you tired and with very little time for your own priorities. Try to avoid burnout, because this will only leave you feeling blunt and aggressive, especially when Mars changes signs and heads into your colleagues zone on May 20th.
That could come to a head during the Full Moon at the top of your chart on June 3rd - although fortunately, Mars is joined in your colleagues zone by diplomatic Venus on June 5th! Your working relationships and your efforts at teamwork are also in the spotlight during the Venus retrograde period that begins on July 22nd.
On September 29th, a Full Moon in the money zone of your natal birth chart is intriguing and could signal good news - or more overspending. Expect to find out the true financial situation in dramatic style around the time of October’s Solar Eclipse on the 14th. If you have investments or debts, this Eclipse may feel particularly significant. Information is key, and something may come to light about this which was previously hidden - especially during the Lunar Eclipse on October 28th.
November and December are ambitious months for your career interests, especially once Mars changes signs on November 24th and skyrockets your drive and energy. The December 12th New Moon would be a remarkable time to seek a new job or ask for a promotion. And with wealth planet Venus heading to the very top of your chart on December 29th, you may just round out the year with the news you’ve been waiting for.
