Horoscopes 2023
Aries 21 March - 20 April
Your zodiac sign is blessed by two powerful New Moon’s this year, the first coinciding with the Spring Equinox, and the second on 21st April, which is also a potent Solar Eclipse, as it combines with the energy of Jupiter, the planet of optimism and fortune. With the influential North Node also arriving in Aries on 13th July, this combination of energies can trigger some powerful new beginnings in 2023. However, some part of your situation can make way, and this is because Saturn, the planet of boundaries, enters your sector of completions on March 7th. These two contrasting strands can though be linked, because any new starts you have, will require you to clear away old energies and potentially, involvements. Delightfully, Jupiter moves into your sector of everyday money however, on 16th May which can trigger an improvement in finances. Also, Venus the planet of relating, visits the most romantic part of your situation for an extended four and a half month stay, from June 6th. Whilst this does go through a retrograde, it could still prove to lead to a fated attraction on 21st June as it links with your ruler Mars. Relationships can also be boosted by a second Solar Eclipse in your sector of relating, on October 14th.
Taurus 21 April - 21 May
As you power into year 2023, you will likely have a strong sense of anticipation. Why? Well, your Solar Return sees your ruler Venus close to the planet of change and transformation, Pluto. This combination will urge you to feed your senses throughout this year, with travel, new interests and possibly learning, to the fore. And with the bruising angle between Uranus in your sign and stern Saturn at an end after two years, a freer vibe will prevail. And with Jupiter, the planet of knowledge, travel, adventure, education and publishing, also arriving in your sign in the Spring, and a glorious Taurus new Moon linking to the vibrant Mars on the 19th of May, this will be the perfect time to get on the front foot in every part of your situation. June 1st could turn out to be especially fortunate, as a rare alliance between Jupiter and the North Node combine in your sign. The Eclipse of April, does suggest that the spiritual sphere can also take on more importance this year, and that will become clearer from mid-July. If you’ve felt unsettled with where you’re living, improvements and redecoration are possible from 6th June, though some Bulls may decide to relocate completely. A new addition to the family is also possible. Some friendships may change from March, but this will also see you getting clearer about your guiding principles.
Gemini 22 May - 21 June
Your professional situation is primed with possibility from the Spring of this year, as Saturn relocates. Whereas uncertainty and tension have been threaded through recent years, now you will be determined to create a clearer pathway forward. The two Solar Eclipses in 2023, can also be very beneficial in helping you to interact skillfully with others, and also showcase your sparkling wit and skills. As ever, your ruler Mercury will Retrograde, but this year asks you to use your flexibility and dexterity in ways which bring Earthly improvements. And where you live and how you live there, will be major features. You will be looking for tangible results from your ideas and interactions with others. Jupiter can bring an important guide into your life from May, or you might find yourself embracing new healing or spiritual possibilities. With the graceful energies of Venus providing an added dimension to your relationships from June through to October the 9th, interactions with siblings, neighbours, community members and online, hold much promise. Your New Moon of 18th June, does square with the dreamy Neptune, yet Saturn's resolute support will help you to cut through to what's really key. December 12th's New Moon can see a major relationship development, with things moving quickly.
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
The year begins with relationships very much to the fore. Venus and Pluto's conjunction can bring some powerful new perspectives to 2023 or see some exciting new possibilities. With Mercury in Retrograde at this point, your listening skills will be acutely important to this. With Mars teasing out old hurts and conflicts for the first quarter of the year, and the planet of structure Saturn's arrival in your sector of higher truths in March, a fine opportunity to resolve these presents itself. With two glorious New Moons in March and April, the second a Solar Eclipse supporting your ambitions, the year can gain huge momentum when it comes to raising your profile and achieving greater recognition. Friendships could provide wonderful support from 16th May, and the return of the North Node for the first time in 18.5 years to Aries, may also boost your chances of achieving greater recognition. Venus's long journey through Leo from June, for 4.5 months, can also see some welcome news around finances. Though if you’re someone with a sweet tooth, it may be more difficult to resist life's calorific goodies. For some Crabs, a happy home or family news can light up the last quarter of 2023.
Leo 24 July - 23 August
A job or career move, which will give you greater personal satisfaction, and can be linked to working in support of others, could emerge early in the year. Either way, ensuring your life is working as efficiently as possible is likely to be a strong motivating factor. As this year unfolds, the desire to change up your routines and inject more variety and spontaneity will become stronger. Essentially Leo, you are set to crave greater excitement. The move of Saturn on March 7th, asks you to be mindful of your longer-term commitments and plans, and whilst travel, adventure and independence may call out to you, it will need to work in terms of your budget. Jupiter could bring a slice of fortune to your worldly hopes, and especially if your career has been beset by unpredictability or heavy demands in recent years. Perhaps the greatest celestial blessing comes from the role of Venus, which transits through your sign for a rare 4.5 months, from June 6th, when she joins with action planet Mars, with you from May 20th to July 10th. This combination can do wonders for your sense of attractiveness and sex appeal, and you can strut your stuff with greater confidence. The Solar Eclipse of 14th October, might also see your powers of persuasion and charm accentuated.
Virgo 24 August - 23 September
Your ruler is in Retrograde as 2023 dawns, but this simply encourages you to take your talents seriously, and stay flexible in the year ahead. With Venus so close to Pluto, in your 5th House of life's joys, some fated developments can though occur for you. Yet Saturn moves into your sector of relating, competition and interactions, from March 7th. This pushes you to set your boundaries and think carefully about close involvements. If you’re business minded, the two New Moons of March and April, the second a Solar Eclipse, give you enormous encouragement to show people how resourceful you can be. These and the arrival of the North Node in Aries in mid-July, presage some big transformations across your situation, but also some important new beginnings. Jupiter gives you fantastic support from mid-May, and you can feel in the mood to expand your horizons and be more daring. A time of soul searching in the summer, particularly around your love life, could test any tie which is not giving you a sense of contentment. But from this, you may also become more closely in touch with what you really need. You could also research your family tree, and get in touch with old friends. The Eclipse of October, gives you the chance to improve your self-image and financial position.
Libra 24 September - 23 October
A fabulous New Moon of the 21st January, is blessed by the planet of fortune, Jupiter. And this, along with the transformational energies of deep Pluto, can springboard your hopes in a truly significant way. Yes, strict Saturn links to your ruler, but all the life lessons you’ve gained in the last years, means you can assert your boundaries, but also embrace big opportunities. From early March Saturn pushes you to get fitter and as productive as possible. But three major events in the sign of Aries, the New Moon on the Vernal Equinox, the Solar Eclipse of April combined with hope bringer Jupiter, and the North Node returning to your sector of relationships for the first time since 2004, collectively bring great hope for your links to others. This is a year that echoes to your best self, and you will find people more receptive and prepared to meet you half way. True, some Scales may be moving or improving where they live, and there still might be some deeply sensitive family politics, but surprise developments may see previous strains ease, and someone could even reach out to meet you half way. This could give you a big decision to make, true! But the Libra Solar Eclipse of the 14th October, really is the defining moment of the year, and can see some truly significant new beginnings spark, or you can energise the on-going strands that really matter.
Scorpio 24 October - 22 November
You can be very direct when you comment on others' situations. But paradoxically, you can be more reticent to say how you feel more personally, especially about private strands. With the year beginning with your modern ruler so closely aligned to Venus, you may find yourself sharing a lot more about yourself. True, Mercury the planet of talk and thought, is in Retrograde, but this could nudge you to work at sharing and quickening the pulse of your interactions. Also, whereas Saturn has been so limiting around home and domestic considerations in the last two years, by January's New Moon you may see things shaping up in a really constructive way, and Saturn’s move in March asks you to work harder at your talents, flair and artistry. Pluto's brief time in your home sector, is a precursor to more fundamental inner changes coming at the start of 2024. Still, the New Moons of April and March, and the arrival of the North Node in July in Aries, can be wonderful for grappling with all the essential details of life, that help to make our existences productive. Jupiter supports your relationships wonderfully from mid-May, and through the summer one tie could reach a deeper level of commitment, or a new work-based alliance blossom. October 12th will see you develop more dynamism. Your New Moon in November, brings solid new beginnings.
Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December
Many of us are facing new financial realities, but with money planet Venus engaging with the transformational Pluto at the very start of 2023, this augers well for your sign Sagittarius, as long as you can push yourself to grapple with all those tiny details and intricacies which you can sometimes find somewhat tedious. Indeed, with the exception of the last Mercury Retrograde of the year, which ultimately rewinds into your zodiac sign, a theme for this new year is to use your passion, flair and creativity in ways which render tangible results. And this will mean combining all these with careful stewardship of resources, time and money. If you can do this, your star really could be in the Ascendant. With Saturn moving into your sector of home, family and everyday property matters in early March, some changes are possible around these areas too. But be assured, some of the biting tension of the last two years may be replaced by a much more dynamic and hopeful vibe, boosted particularly by the combination of April's Solar Eclipse and its combination with your expansive, and often luck bringing ruler, Jupiter. This event, along with Jupiter's journey into your sector of bodily vitality in May, really can provide a platform for growth. Further, the combination of your New Moon and Mars on December the 12th, sees you end the year on absolutely top form.
Capricorn 22 December - 20 January
You are going to start something new this year, and it could work out to be one of the best things you’ve ever done. Just be aware that this may not be one project, and that's the rub. If you do begin something afresh, just be mindful that your first choice might not be the one that turns out to come to fruition, but then equally it could be. So, the theme for you this year, is to stay resolutely open minded, but determined to demonstrate your rich talents. And if certain goals change, flex and just go with it. Indeed, for some Capricorn's there may also be a greater desire to learn new skills. This could be in a formal setting, digitally, on line or conversely, enjoying local evening classes. If you feel there are gaps in your knowledge, this can be a wonderful time to positively address these. Yet with Saturn in House three from early March, choosing your words with care will be important. Others may be inclined to challenge some of your long-established beliefs. Yet the Spring primes a time when evolving in your emotional world can also be important. Your naturally dry, but wonderful sense of humour is boosted from mid-May, by the exuberant Jupiter. Finances can rally across the summer months, and the Solar Eclipse of October might see you use all of your resourcefulness and drive to power towards any key goals, or to achieve greater recognition and success.
Aquarius 21 January - 19 February
The top news this year Aquarius, is your co-ruling planet, the strict and restrictive Saturn, leaving your sign on March 7th, after an intense 2.5 years of occupation. This is followed by the arrival of the deep and transformative Pluto into your sign, for a brief sojourn. This combination asks you to turn to all the lessons, experiences and knowledge that you have gained over many years, to establish a new firm foundation for your future hopes. Indeed, the Aquarius New Moon of 21st January can trigger a series of positive events which could delight you. With your 3rd House of ideas, lively interactions and fast moving possibilities also benefiting from some enlivening new energies, a sense of optimism will increase as the year unfolds. Some fabulous news linked to your home or family life can also light you up from May, and relationships, particularly close personal ties, may be significantly boosted by the arrival of both Mars and Venus in your opposite sign, during the summer. Expect to be active from the time of the Autumnal Equinox of 23rd September. And with a stunning Solar Eclipse on October 14th, travel, contracts and higher education are all positively supported.
Pisces 20 February - 20 March
Saturn returns to your sign for the first time in 27 years. This asks you to decide on some key life priorities. Many of us have a variety of interests and talents, but modern life can be distracting, and so deciding on what is really essential to you is what this planet of application urges you to do. Resistance may lead to lower vitality, but by narrowing your focus, you have a marvellous opportunity to hone in on what really inspires you and make substantial progress. Delightfully, your 2nd House of personal resources and self-worth is boosted substantially this year, not least by your traditional ruling planet Jupiter's alliance with the Solar Eclipse of 21st April. Jupiter's luck bringing energy could also influence another bright sector from mid-May, opening up lots of possibilities for you around your ideas and self-expression. At work, the quality of your relationships can be as important as your skillset, but some new alliances could be built through the summer months. In fact, this is a year when one friendship or even romance, can come to the centre of your life in quite an unexpected way. This person may have similar long-term goals or aspirations, or you might connect around a mutual cause. That said, working hard to keep the lines of communication open will be essential all of 2023.
