January Horoscopes

Happy New Year

2023 has finally arrived. And one thing’s for sure, it is going to be a very different year to the last 3. Amongst many things this year, new ways of living and working are going to settle in which will include a deep desire to work in a way that is authentic to who we are as individuals and find ways to purposefully make a difference. It is now understood that mindfulness practices are non-negotiable as more professionals appreciate that where their thoughts go informs the reality they experience.

In 2023 there will be some major planetary movements. Two key shifts we’ll all notice deeply due to their long-term visits to new signs relate to Saturn and Pluto.

Saturn, the planet of commitment, mastery and practicality will leave Aquarius after his 3 year journey through the fixed air sign which has put new structures in place in society. In March, Saturn enters the watery realms of Pisces where he will reside for 3 years. In Pisces, Saturn struggles to bring form. So the question that begs us all over this timeframe is “How do we create structures that allow for change and flow?” Pisces is a highly imaginative, creative and changeable sign that is very much associated with emotions and a yearning for spiritual connection. So from a professional perspective, we’ll likely see more creative ideas unfold to support a shift in perspective around living more sustainably, being aware that we are all interconnected and a realisation that we have to prioristise our emotional health to be valuable contributors in society.

Pluto, the planet of transformation and truth will dip his toe into Aquarius early in 2023 from March to June giving us a prelude to a new era which will last for 20 years starting in 2024. Pluto moves very slowly through the Zodiac, hence his association with deep transformation. Since he entered Capricorn in 2008, we have seen huge changes to the way we work, a dismantling of long held patriarchal power structures and global and political systems challenged. There is much conjecture amongst astrologers as to how this will play out, but themes of decentralisation of locus’ of power and the emergence of more democratic solutions that give more power to the individual and local communities are certainly on the rise.

But before these big shifts arise, January invites us all to SLOW right down, REVIEW our current position and put PLANS in place for the year ahead. As the New Year rolls around, there’s a natural propensity to contemplate the coming 12 months. But this January the energy to do so is particularly strong with both Mars and Mercury retrograde. Those of you with planets in Aries, Scorpio, Gemini and Virgo will feel a strong pull to throw up your career options and plot how you want them to land. But we will all feel this, given 1/3 of the Zodiac is impacted and it’s likely you’ll have been born with planets or chart angles in these signs.

By the end of the month, we have a rare occurrence of all planets in direct motion. Mars retrograde ends January 13 (good news for Aries and Scorpio), Mercury retrograde ends January 19 and Uranus ends his 5 month retrograde on January 23. This will bring a power surge of positive, “make things happen” energy. Something we can all be grateful for after the slow, burdensome energies we’ve been working and living through in October, November and December 2022. Depending on when you were born, these energies will offer different opportunities. To find out what’s in store for you more specifically, head to your Sign.

Wishing you an amazing year ahead full of clarity, impact and abundant flow!

ARIES

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2023 Aries.

The year starts out with you contemplating your future direction in a major way. Firstly, Mars, your ruling planet is completing his 10 ½ week retrograde journey through Gemini giving you the opportunity to assess where and how you want to direct your energy over the next 2 years. And secondly Mercury, is retrograding through your Career sector inviting you to review, revise and rethink your professional dreams. What am I excited about building? How does my current career fit with my values? What is the right balance of work and time with my family? “What deeply satisfies me?” These are but a few of the kinds of questions running through your mind in early January that are important to pause and reflect on.

The Cancer Full Moon on January 7 is likely to stir emotions around these issues with the Moon falling in your family sector opposing the Sun in your professional domain. This is a powerful time for allowing yourself to let go of what you know in your heart is no longer serving you and those you live with in order to create space for something new to emerge professionally..

The New Moon in Aquarius on January 22 is ideal for setting goals around the kind of organisation and/or groups of people you want to work with.

When Uranus stations direct on January 23, new ideas or an unexpected opportunity could emerge to support your earning potential, especially if you were born between April 5 to 11.

The good news is, by month’s end, you’ll have renewed vigour and optimism and you’ll feel excited to take on new opportunities. With Jupiter traveling through your sign, you’re receiving a once in 12 year boost of expansion and abundance. This is a wonderful period for being recognised and appreciated for all that you do as well as for spreading your wings in new ways. Think back to what was happening from May to October 2022 for clues. This “boost” is available until May 17.

GEMINI

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2023!!!

A fresh new year arrives offering powerful shifts and restructures.

The year starts with the heaven’s ordering you some much needed rest and time for deep reflection. Since October 31, 2022 Mars has been retrograding through your sign having you juggle many balls in the air at once, more than you even you can handle!! Whilst you love nothing better than multi-tasking, the last few months have been a big stretch and circumstances have colluded to have you prioritise what matters most to you. The good news is when Mars stations direct from January 13, it helps bring you clarity of direction and renewed energy levels to go out and achieve your goals. By then you’ll know what you do and don’t want for yourself in the year ahead.

Mercury, your ruling planet, is also retrograde when the New Year arrives in your very private and mystical sector of shared resources. You’ll be considering who you want to collaborate with and how in the year ahead both personally and professionally. This part of your chart is also associated with endings and beginnings. You may well find that the death of someone or something adds new levels of personal understanding to your priorities and understanding of yourself. If need be, invest in a great counselor or healer to more deeply tune into your subconscious patterning which drives your behaviour.

The Cancer Full Moon on January 7 is likely to stir emotions around your financial well-being and highlight your relationship with money. Is it ruling you or do you have a healthy and abundant mindset around this topic?

The New Moon in Aquarius on January 22 is activating your study, travel, teaching and discovery sector. This is your annual opportunity to set goals related to these topics to ensure your curious mind is satiated all year.

When Uranus stations direct on January 23, it activates your spiritual exploration sector. This could highlight the importance and value to you in making time to rest and retreat on a daily basis to enable you to hone your intuition. Sitting still is not your usual status quo but when you tune into new ideas from sitting still, it has you realise the value in doing so.

And lastly, Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance starts the year in your friends, networks and community sector bringing opportunities to expand these parts of your life. Take advantage of a busy social time to connect with old and new friends. It may also bring a fresh new career start in a new organisational setting. This period will last through to May 17.

CANCER

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2023 Cancerians!!! The year ahead promises career expansion and opportunity for you to get clear on making choices that are right for you.

But as you enter the New Year, you are very much in a rest and review period. Since October 31, 2022 Mars has been retrograding through your very private and spiritual “personal retreat” sector. This has likely had you recognise the value of slowing down and spending time on your own yet you’ve had very little chance to do so as you’ve been juggling many balls in the air, including curve balls you didn’t see coming. So you are very much in need of deep rest for the first couple of weeks of 2023. Use this to revise, rethink and redo how you do “me time”. And to consider your ideal spiritual practice. Whether it’s meditation, walking solo on the beach or in the bush or resting listing to your favourite classical music, ask yourself how you best restore your energy levels and come back to centre. In doing so, it positively impacts your career and overall energy levels.

Mercury is also retrograde when the New Year arrives in your relationship sector. You’ve been deeply contemplating the meaning of close relationships since 2008 when Pluto entered your relationship zone. Later in 2023, Pluto leaves this part of your life and could bring new insight into trust in relationships and going to a deeper level. But for now, you’re contemplating who, how and why you want to partner with others personally and professionally in the year ahead.

The Cancer Full Moon on January 7 is likely to stir emotions around finding the right balance between your personal need to be out in the world and seen versus meeting the needs of your partner. Some frustration may exist here so go gently. What can you let go of in order to bring more to the relationship and to yourself?

The New Moon in Aquarius on January 22 brings opportunity to set investment goals. It’s also a powerful time to commit to doing “the inner work” over the course of the coming year. A wonderful time to engage a counsellor, psychologist or healer to support you to see yourself and your subconscious patterning more clearly. It’s a profound time for healing and expanding on a very deep spiritual level with your highest self.

When Uranus stations direct on January 23, it activates your network, friendships and community sector. Surprise meetings or unexpected but welcomed changes in these areas bring fresh vigour to life.

And lastly, Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance is once again tracking through your Career sector bringing expansion and abundance. This period will last through to May 17.
