The Astrology Of 2023 Shows That This Year Is All About Community, Strength & Wisdom

Collective

1 Jan

2023 has arrived, and this year, we will experience far more dramatic cosmic changes than we did in 2022. This year is about finding strength in your beliefs and personal philosophies and pushing for change — whether that means putting in the work to transform your financial circumstances or encouraging transformation in your community. Prepare for new and enriching life experiences that will teach you the importance of standing in your power, being assertive, and setting boundaries.

Saturn In Pisces Signifies New Challenges That Will Deepen Your Wisdom

Since 2021, Saturn has transited visionary Aquarius, urging us to be more responsible and to dismantle and re-write rules we no longer respect. Saturn will begin a new journey in 2023 when it enters the sensitive terrain of Pisces on March 7. This huge cosmic shift will last until May 25, 2025! Saturn is the planet of karma, restriction, and boundaries, while Pisces energy is spiritual, emotional, and understanding of multiple truths.

On a personal level, you may have a stronger reaction to hardships during Saturn’s transit in Pisces. This won’t result in outbursts but more emotional challenges that you have to confront. You may turn to your faith to understand what’s happening in the world and find strength through detachment from what society is telling you to feel. You will gain immense wisdom from time spent in solitude, quiet reflection, or through mindfulness and spiritual practice.

Revolutions Are On The Horizon Thanks To Pluto In Aquarius

Pluto is on the move! In 2023, we will experience a preview of the upcoming global shifts and collective transformations that will impact us from 2023 to 2044. Pluto — the planet of intense transformation, upheaval, and manipulation — will shift into Aquarius on March 23, heralding groundbreaking changes in science, technology, activism, and social media. However, Pluto retrograde will begin on May 1, causing the planet's retreat into Capricorn on June 11. Pluto will remain in Capricorn for the duration of the year, so this energetic shift may be brief, but it will certainly give us more collective changes to look forward to.

From March 23 to May 1, expect a preview of the restructuring of power dynamics in society. As a collective, we will feel more empowered to influence changes over the systems and authority figures who have governed us up until now. Advancements in technology will fuel the increased use and acceptance (or opposition to) artificial intelligence, and we will progressively move toward a more digitized way of being. More conversations will be had around data protection and social justice, and the turbulence of this collective transition will mark the beginning of our newfound sense of freedom.

Jupiter in Taurus Will Magnetize Your Manifestations

Jupiter will begin the year in go-getter Aries until May 16, when it enters luxurious Taurus. Jupiter is the planet of philosophy, luck, and expansion, while Taurean energy is sensual, determined, and sustainable. Expect to form practical and long-lasting plans that increase the likelihood of achieving your material and financial goals. However, you may face obstacles where you must consider whether your motivations and desires are healthy or a reflection of greed, materialism, and over-indulgence.

The road to success may be slower, but your short-term milestones will feel twice as rewarding, allowing you to have fun and enjoy working toward your goals. You may feel more stubborn from May 2023, especially concerning your morals, beliefs, and spirituality. Stay true to your beliefs without being dogmatic or too rigid in your perspective, and prepare to interact with narrow-minded people. It may be easier to accept them as they are rather than force them to consider another point of view.

A New Eclipse Cycle Will Encourage You To Step Into Your Power

On April 20, a new eclipse cycle will begin that will encourage your growth, healing, and spiritual evolution over the next year and a half. Over the past year, the eclipses have aligned in the fixed signs, Taurus and Scorpio, bringing karmic lessons, tests, and opportunities to work through your physical and emotional attachments. However, this new cycle of eclipses will align on the Aries-Libra axis of the zodiac, starting with an empowering fresh start under the Solar Eclipse (karmic New Moon) in bold and brave Aries. This eclipse cycle will urge you to navigate the line between independence vs. interdependence and peace vs. people pleasing. These upcoming eclipses will be cardinal in nature (as Aries and Libra belong to the cardinal modality), meaning they signify a new spark of activity and the return of your self-assertiveness.
