Your family and personal relationships are impacted by all three of 2023’s major sign shifts from Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. Although some of these changing energies may take some getting used to, know that it’s all in line with your divine plan.

Mars, your ancient ruler, starts the year still retrograde in the depth psychology area of your natal birth chart, but once this planet turns direct on January 12th, you will feel more able to get your year started. Venus blesses you with family harmony from January 2nd to January 26th, when this loving planet moves into the joy zone of your chart - late January through February is an excellent time for dating and loving life.

The Full Moon on February 5th illuminates the career zone of your chart, so you can expect some recognition or increasing influence around that time. However, there’s no denying that the astral focus is on your more personal life as March gets underway.

On March 7th, Saturn changes signs and heads into the area of your chart that deals with hobbies, pleasure, love affairs, and fun. The net result of this is that the rest of 2023 is likely to have a more serious vibe, and you may find that your free time is significantly curtailed.

Meanwhile, on March 23rd, Pluto - your modern ruling planet - changes signs and moves to the bottom of your chart, into your family zone. This is the first time this will have happened in your lifetime, and its effects will be transformational. Expect some profound changes in how you relate to other family members, with an adjustment of roles and responsibilities. More importantly, however, this 19-year transit will also find you exploring and challenging your deepest roots and your hidden past. It may be traumatic at times, but it will also be cathartic.

On April 20th, the Solar Eclipse may bring drama if you are stressed at work or not getting on with a colleague. The corresponding Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 5th challenges you to rethink your identity and your approach to other people.

This may sound stressful, but the good news is that generosity planet Jupiter moves into your opposite sign on May 16th, blessing you with enormous, loving support from those who care for you the most. This is a highly significant transit for your love life and should hopefully bring you a great deal of happiness over the following twelve months.

The family and roots shifts driven by Pluto may first make themselves felt around the time of the Full Moon on August 1st. The following Full Moon, on August 30th, reflects some frustration over your lack of free time, as Saturn’s influence begins to bite.

However, the Solar Eclipse on October 14th brings you profound spiritual realization and a sense of acceptance and calm - it’s a very empowering, if slightly overwhelming, influence in your chart and your sense of purpose will grow, helped by the fact that Mars will have arrived in Scorpio two days earlier on the 12th.

The Lunar Eclipse in your love zone on October 28th could bring some heated drama in your relationship, but the Scorpio New Moon on November 13th finds you back in control and in a good place, emotionally.

As already mentioned, this is likely to be a significant year for your family and personal relationships. There may be some lovely family news in January, with Venus arriving in the family zone of your chart on January 2nd and a New Moon here on January 21st - a cause for celebration, perhaps!

However, Saturn’s change of signs on March 7th may be important if you are single and looking for love. This area of your chart rules dating, and fun, short-term relationships as well as your free time, so you may experience some disappointments if you’re looking for that special someone. You may need to adjust your expectations and be less quick to rule out potential partners who are not your ‘type.’

Venus moves into your opposite sign on March 16th, however, so in an established relationship, there is still plenty of romance in the air. When Pluto changes signs on March 23rd, family dynamics will start to subtly shift over the long term - Pluto will remain here for the next 19 years and is in no rush! You will not necessarily notice this transit initially, although don’t be surprised if you feel a strong desire to dig deeper into your past.

Mercury turns retrograde in your opposite sign on April 21st, so be careful how you communicate with your partner during that period. The Lunar Eclipse on May 5th could be very emotionally volatile, occurring as it does in your own sign - but Jupiter’s move into your opposite sign on May 16th is pure, unbridled good news for love. The New Moon in your love zone on May 19th sets a magical tone.

A poignant Full Moon on August 1st could see family-related drama, but being honest and open about your emotions will go a long way to calming the issue. The following Full Moon, on August 30th, lights up your dating zone; if you are single, this could be an important moment, but one packed with high emotion.

When Mars arrives in Scorpio on October 12th, you can expect passion levels to soar. As you know only too well, however, passion and fury are two sides of the same coin, so this can be a tumultuous period for your love life, with extreme highs and lows. That’s likely to be especially so this year, given the Lunar Eclipse in the love zone of your natal birth chart on October 28th.

The good news is that the drama will settle by November 13th, when a positive Scorpio New Moon allows you to make a fresh start. Venus moves into Scorpio on December 4th, setting the tone for a loving and romantic holiday season, although when Mercury turns retrograde on December 13th, remember to keep talking - communication is key.

Although the focus this year is on your personal life, that’s not to say that there aren’t important career-related events in your chart too. The earliest of these is the potent Full Moon on February 5th, which suggests that your working year is getting off to a very good start. Late February is a good time for new innovations too, as the New Moon on February 20th supports taking some calculated risks.

The Solar Eclipse on April 20th occurs in your everyday work zone and hints at an unexpected growth in responsibilities - but with those responsibilities will come increasing authority and increasing rewards. During the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on May 5th, spend time to ensure that your career path aligns with your higher consciousness.

Jupiter is the planet of abundance and growth, and its arrival in your opposite sign on May 16th is good news for love, as mentioned - but this is also a very fortunate influence for business partnerships or joint ventures of any kind. It helps too that Mars moves to the very top of your chart a few days later on May 20th, sending your ambitions sky-high. Just watch out for overly impulsive or reckless spending around the time of the Full Moon in your money zone on June 3rd.

Venus, in its role as a wealth planet, also moves to the top of your chart on June 5th, and will greatly increase your charisma and your ability to gather other people on your side. However, when Venus turns retrograde here, from July 22nd to September 4th, you’ll need to be careful not to alienate colleagues or clients with your attitude. If you can avoid that, the New Moon in your career zone on August 16th looks very promising indeed.

Mars moves into Scorpio on October 12th, and this will greatly increase your drive, sense of purpose, and ability to get things done. The Solar Eclipse on October 14th brings great spiritual understanding, and this can help if you’re not sure what your true path is or should be. Use the periods between then and the Scorpio New Moon on November 13th to explore your options and align your career with your destiny.

As the year draws to a close, your finances are in the spotlight. Mars’ arrival in this area of your natal birth chart is invigorating and motivating on November 24th, and the New Moon here on December 12th should bring good financial news. However, Mercury turns retrograde the following day - for the rest of the year, take care not to give too much credence to rumors or gossip at work, or in business.

During 2024, you will gradually and subtly be changing the way you approach the structures in your life, and your family dynamics. This will first become apparent when Pluto, your ruling planet, visits for a 9-month transit at the very bottom of your chart on January 20th. By the time Pluto settles there for a full 19 years, in November 2024, you will have felt the beginnings of a major shift.

A New Moon at the bottom of your chart on February 9th will help with this, and when Mars, your historic ruling planet, shifts to the bottom of your chart too on February 13th, you will have the motivation to bring about real change.

March offers a lot of fun and joy in your love life, with a New Moon in your dating zone on March 10th, followed by Venus moving into that area on the 11th. On March 22nd Mars also arrives here, boosting your quest for pleasure considerably.

However, a Lunar Eclipse in the most psychic and secretive part of your chart on March 25th brings hidden information to light and could shock and surprise you. Its twin Solar Eclipse on April 8th highlights your emotional and physical stress, so take good care of your well-being at this time.

On April 20th, Jupiter and Uranus team up in your opposite sign bringing a spectacular boost of energy, vitality, and joy to your love life, just ahead of the Scorpio Full Moon on April 23rd. With a New Moon in your love zone on May 7th too, this period is likely to be very memorable in romance.

There’s more good news later in May when Jupiter moves into your passion zone for a year-long transit on May 25th. This is a blessing for your intimate life and also boosts your financial acumen and good fortune - what’s not to love?

During July, the focus switches to your career, with both Mercury and Venus moving to the very top of your chart on July 2nd and 11th respectively. The spectacular New Moon here in your ambitions zone on August 4th is a red letter day for you, but the Full Moon in your family zone on August 19th suggests that you may have to make family sacrifices for your career.

The theme of sacrifice continues through the Lunar Eclipse in your risk zone on September 17th and its twin Solar Eclipse in your sacrifice zone on October 2nd. There’s a sense here that real progress is possible, but it will come at a personal cost.

Look to the Scorpio New Moon on November 1st for a burst of positivity. When Mars moves to the top of your chart two days later on the 3rd, your ambitions will soar once more - and the Full Moon in your opposite sign on November 15th highlights joy in your love life too.

Take care not to indulge in emotional overspending during the festive period, especially with Mercury retrograde in your money zone from November 25th to December 15th.
However, all signs point to a positive and busy start to 2025, courtesy of a business like New Moon on December 30th.

The biggest news regarding your relationships this year concerns your family dynamics rather than your love life as such. When Pluto, your ruling planet, takes up residence at the bottom of your chart on January 20th, you can expect some major shifts in how you approach your family life - but after an initial 9-month visit, Pluto will settle here for a full 19 years from November 2024, so don’t expect things to happen quickly.

The first indications of change in your domestic life may come around the New Moon in your family zone on February 9th; certainly, once both Mars and Venus move to the bottom of your chart on February 13th and 16th you will be motivated to make changes.

If you are single and looking for love, March is a good time for dating, especially around the New Moon on the 10th and when Venus moves into your dating zone on the 11th. Once Mars arrives here too on March 22nd, it looks like any new love relationships will develop quickly.

However, the Lunar Eclipse in your most secretive zone on March 25th suggests that anything illicit in love may not stay hidden for as long as you would have liked.

If you have been going through a rocky patch in your love life, a spectacular conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in your opposite sign on April 20th brings very good news - and a whole different attitude that can solve the problem by the time the Full Moon shines from Scorpio on April 23rd.

This is followed by a glorious New Moon in your love zone on May 7th, and Jupiter’s joyful shift into your passion zone on May 25th - get set for a whole year of magic in your love life from then on.

The good news continues into June, with a New Moon in your passion zone on June 6th and Mars moving into your opposite sign on June 9th - although this latter influence can also increase jealousy and temper, as well as passion.

Look to the Lunar Eclipse in your dating zone on September 17th for some shocks and surprises in love, especially in a relatively new relationship. However, with Venus arriving in Scorpio a few days later on September 22nd, you should be able to smooth over the cracks successfully, if that is your wish.

The next important point for your love life is on November 1st when the Scorpio New Moon increases your vitality, your passion, your charm, and your joie de vivre - perfect for putting the magic back into your love life. An emotional Full Moon in your opposite sign on November 15th is also packed with romance.

As 2024 draws to a close, loving and harmonious family relationships are blessed by Venus arriving at the bottom of your chart on December, and a Full Moon in your forgiveness zone on December 15th. Embrace the spirit of the season by not allowing family disagreements to fester.

2024 gets off to a positive start for your finances, with Mercury turning direct in your money zone on New Year’s Day. Together with Mars, your historic ruling planet, moving into a very business-like part of your chart on January 4th, you are off and running quickly this year.

When your ruling planet Pluto moves to the bottom of your chart on January 20th - ahead of a full 19 years there beginning in November this year - you will sense that something about your foundations needs to change, and that may include how you see your career.

To begin with, an emotional Full Moon at the top of your chart on January 25th highlights your intuitive connection to your work.

When Mars moves into the risk-taking part of your chart on March 22nd, you will want to take a more creative and innovative approach to work - and the Solar Eclipse in your everyday work zone on April 8th will shake things up to allow just that. However, be careful with interpersonal relationships at work during April; with Mercury retrograde in your colleagues zone between April 1st and 25th, you will easily be misunderstood.

Jupiter changes signs on May 25th, taking up a year-long residence in your debt zone. This prosperity planet will help to ease the financial pressures you feel, so look into manifestation and visualization techniques to help you further.

July is an important month for your career, with both Mercury and Venus heading to the very top of your chart on July 2nd and 11th respectively, ahead of the highly ambitious New Moon in your career zone on August 4th. However, between August 14th and 28th Mercury will be retrograde in your career zone, so again, take care with communication at work.

On September 17th a potent Lunar Eclipse in your risk zone highlights what can happen if you are too foolhardy or reckless; the Solar Eclipse in your secrets zone on October 2nd could see something coming to light that you would much prefer to remain hidden.

As the year begins to fade, however, there is better news for your career, starting with the Scorpio New Moon on November 1st, freshening your ambitions and brightening your goals. The following day, intelligent Mercury moves into your money zone, and the day after that, Mars moves to the very top of your chart, increasing your drive and willpower.

Watch out for comfort spending when Mercury is retrograde in your money zone between November 25th and December 15th, however. If you can keep hold of your finances during that period, you will be rewarded during the businesslike New Moon on December 30th.
