Or how to rock this new year!

We finished 2022 with Mars and Mercury retrograde in Gemini and Capricorn but also with Jupiter changing sign and entering Aries. The Lunar Nodes will still be on the axis Taurus/Scorpio until July 12th, 2023 along with some eclipses before the Nodes and the eclipses reach the Aries/Libra axis.
Saturn will enter Pisces in March while Pluto slowly goes towards Aquarius. Pluto enters this sign of the Water Bearer a bit later in March, leaving exhausted Capricorn (the host of Pluto since 2008!).
We will start 2023 quite slowly and the big changes won’t be felt that strongly us until the second part of the year. A brand new year is, however, a great moment to start afresh!
To know a bit more about what’s in store for you for the first six months of 2023, take a look at your big 3, Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs. Enjoy!
- Aries: Jupiter direct in your sign is a blessing and an ode to your fire spirit, boldness and courage! Take that leap of faith and do things in true Aries fashion, you’ll feel happy and rewarded. On March 21st, a New Moon in your sign along with the Spring Equinox will give you fresh ideas and momentum to go even further in your projects.
- Taurus: You’re slowly recuperating from the heavy effects of the eclipse season in your sign and you may have to keep working on yourself until Jupiter enters your sign on May 16th 2023. On May 19th, a New Moon in your sign gives you everything you need: plans, perspectives and readiness to start afresh. Don’t hesitate! Uranus is still with you until April 2026, giving you a different approach to finances and security and probably excellent ideas as well!
- Gemini: The year starts very slowly with Mars retrograde in your sign and your ruler Mercury retrograde in Capricorn but you’ll feel better as soon as Mars goes direct. Remember to rest. After Mars 25th, you’ll be able to drop the pressure as Mars will (finally!) leave your sign. Everything will feel smoother. On June 18th, a New Moon in your sign offers new beginnings or at least momentum to (re)start a project.
- Cancer: The year begins quite emotionally with a Full Moon in your sign on January 6th. Jupiter in Aries will ask you to take a good look at your career goals and plans. You are supported, go for it! Mars enters your sign on March 25th and you might feel frustrated or disconnected from your heart. Don’t rush any emotional matter.
- Leo: With Jupiter in fellow fire sign Aries and a Full Moon in your sign on February 5th, the year kicks off with energetic vibes. Go with the flow and if you feel adventurous, don’t shy away from new places and discoveries. On May 20th, Mars reaches your sign and will give you an extra boost of courage and passion! Make the most of it.
- Virgo: Your ruler retrograde in a fellow earth sign Capricorn may make you feel slowed down or unclear about your next moves. Be patient because things will take a better turn for you after March 7th: the Full Moon in your sign will provide clarity and your projects will take off. The North Node in Taurus, a friendly earth sign may have brought lots of deep thinking about the world in general, the place you’d like to live in, beliefs about life and work etc… By July, you may settle somewhere and have the right answers.
- Libra: Your partnerships and contracts are highlighted until May. On April 6th, a Full Moon in your sign gives you an extra push: whether you feel like changing a few things in a contract or making a strong move, it’s all possible under the protection of benevolent Jupiter. Do it before July, when the Lunar Nodes change signs and put some pressure on your diplomatic skills.
- Scorpio: You may start the year feeling drained or emotionally unvailable as you had massive celestial disruptions in your sign (especially from October to December 2022). Take it slow and rest, it’s ok not to have all the answers right now. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will occur in your sign on May 5th, giving you the opportunity to dust off anything you don’t need or want anymore in your life. After mid July, you can expect a big sigh of relief as the Lunar Nodes leave your sign!
- Sagittarius: You might feel good and empowered despite the lethargic energies that surround the beginning of 2023. Jupiter in your fellow fire sign Aries until May 16th and then Mars in your fellow fire sign Leo after May 20th make you feel strong and energetic to tackle anything you couldn’t do or finish earlier. On June 3rd, a Full Moon in Sagittarius clear away any doubts you might have felt. Keep on rocking, right timing is on your side!
- Capricorn: With Mercury retrograding in your sign until January 18th, 2023, you may feel unclear about how to proceed to make you dreams come true. Communication could be less straightforward or even misleading. Don’t worry, you’ll pick up your pace later and have a better grasp on everything. On March 23rd, Pluto finally leaves your sign and will give you a good 2 months and half of relief and lightness. Time to make that move or at least the first steps, you deserve it and it will bring lots of joy! On June 11th, Pluto goes retrograde in your sign, enabling you to reassess situations and decisions and adjusting them according to your psychological wellbeing.
- Aquarius: You start off the year with Venus entering your sign on January 2nd, giving you a nice glow up, personal style and confidence boost! On January 20th, your season begins, it is your time to shine and make plans for the rest of the year! On January 21st, a New Moon in your sign supports you in starting something new, whether it’s a job, a move, a project or even a relationship. Between Feburary 11th and March 2nd, your conversations with the world will flow easily and you may get interesting pieces of info. After March 7th, when Saturn leaves your sign, you’ll feel lighter and might be more comfortable manifesting what you want.
- Pisces: The year starts off quite softly for you as Venus enters your sign on January 26th, giving you a nice glow and pleasant energy. Your season will start on February 18th and a New Moon in your sign two days later invites you to start afresh. Plan your new beginnings carefully because Saturn, the planet of restriction and timing, enters your sign on March 7th. It may bring obstacles or delays so you should make sure you’re doing things right (and the right way!). Neptune is still in your sign, sometimes covering reality with its veil of dreaminess. You will have plenty of opportunities to readjust your trajectory or plans with more clarity in June when Saturn and Neptune go retrograde in your sign.
The secret of making progress is to get started.
