During the Spring Equinox, we welcome the New Astrological Year! Since February 1582 we’ve been following the Gregorian calendar and that’s why we started the “calendar year” on 1 January, but for Astrology, the new year only begins when the SUN, the King star who gives, illuminates, and feeds life, enters the first sign of the zodiac – Aries – starting a new cycle of development and growth on planet Earth!
Since 2020, we have been in a new cycle of transformation and regeneration of the basic structures of our lives, both individually and collectively, and a new paradigm has opened up in front of us. A new reality is being created by each and every one of us that will truly begin in 2025, and 2023 is the year in which we build the bridge that will take us to that destination. There are things we need to resolve, transform, or finish and leave behind for good so that a new and exciting journey can begin. We must do everything with work and dedication, where creativity and simplicity will be crucial keys to our reinvention.
Let’s see where new doors will open, where transformations are expected, and where we will have to pay special attention this spring.
ARIES
Aries will have the opportunity to reveal, empower and renew their identity and individual image through their own initiative, relying on faith, talents and willpower. New possibilities will open up in their groups, friends and associations. New romantic and professional ideas and relationships could be a source of great prosperity in the second half of this year onwards.
It’s time for Aries to believe in themselves, and use all the charisma, courage and innovation that Jupiter brings when transiting their sign until May. This is a good time to have the courage to transform their finances and sense of personal worth.
Pluto in Aquarius will demand more social responsibility and Saturn in Pisces will demand emotional maturity and special attention to mental health. It is therefore very important to have time for oneself, to develop and deepen spirituality and connect with our inner world.
Aries will take an important step towards eliminating the past and completely transforming their image and role in the world.
TAURUS
Taureans have been going through a profound personal transformation, gaining more confidence, and self-worth, developing their personal power, hobbies and natural talents while having to give up things to which they may be attached, which they considered safe, or which no longer make sense at the present time. The process of destroying, renewing and innovating will continue!
A transformation in the body, food and finances will be increasingly felt and Taureans will go through important moments of renewal with the help of technology and new experiences. Jupiter is causing a revolution in the psyche that will lead them to overcome and reframe unconscious beliefs, fears and blockages. When entering their sign in May, they will be graced by the planet of abundance and will want to live and work in a more powerful and empowered way.
Pluto in Aquarius will come to transform their career or professional life, and Saturn in Pisces will start a process of maturing friends, groups and communities with whom they relate. They will have the opportunity to start building their dreams, which makes 2023 a year that will remain in their memory as one in which a new, safer, more confident and empowered self emerged. It’s time to bring these idle resources to life and invest in the self!
GEMINI
Since 2020, Gemini are re-signifying its vision and direction in life. If they have questioned the path to follow, the planet Saturn will start a restructuring of professional life, with the possibility of changing careers or taking on a role of leadership or greater responsibility.
Pluto in Aquarius will bring a preview of the great transformation in the way Gemini see and face the world in terms of their beliefs and philosophies of life. They will have the opportunity to pursue new studies and teachings and will receive the precious help of Jupiter in the second half of the year, expanding spirituality in a practical way, helping to put new ideas into practice and opening the mind to a new, more conscious prosperity. Gemini will go through a more introspective moment in which they will want to live in a more relaxed way and with more time for themselves.
This spring, Gemini should take advantage of the new opportunities that arise from friends and groups with whom they interact, making new contacts and vigorously sharing their talents to help them materialise the comfortable life they dream so much about.
An excellent year for retreats, special trips and deep and transformative studies.
CANCER
Cancer has had an important focus on relationships, both personal and professional, and in the first half of the year, Jupiter will bring strength and courage to expand in the professional area, where they may embark on new projects with great impact in the coming years. The relationship with their mothers may also be going through a new cycle.
In the second half of the year, Jupiter will open doors in the area of groups, friends and associations, and new material objectives can be materialised.
Pluto in Aquarius will come to transform their financial life and regenerate any fears and crises they are going through. Saturn in Pisces will require maturation in the way they deal with and face spirituality and will make them find inspiration and a more holistic view of the world, where it will be important to mature and bring sensitivity and empathy, for which they will feel a great calling to restructure these matters.
A new teacher, course or in-depth study may emerge that will serve for emotional and spiritual maturity, connecting them more with their intuition and sensitivity.
It will be a key year in terms of the opportunity to invest in the future of their career and personal life!
LEO
Since 2020, Leos are going through a moment of defining the most important areas of life, restructuring relationships and opportunities for innovation and reinvention in their professional careers, while transforming their personal lives, home, family and emotional and financial security.
Spring brings expansion in studies, travel and new opportunities abroad, and the career area will tend to stabilise in the second half of the year when Leos will be able to enjoy the fruits of their work so far.
Pluto in Aquarius comes to transform both romantic and professional relationships and Saturn in Pisces will demand commitment, more delivery and maturity, bringing special attention to finances and shared resources.
This year will bring Leos relief from the limitations they have felt in the last two years, but more responsibility will be required for a long-desired breakthrough in their professional life.
This year no effort should be spared, take advantage of every opportunity!
VIRGO
Virgos have developed very important healing opportunities both for themselves and for others with new professional developments and a routine that has required a lot of flexibility since 2020. This year, with the entry of Pluto in Aquarius, Virgos will be able to start a great transformation in the way they work and face their day-to-day lives.
Health will be a very important point to consider, as Pluto will bring a revolution in this area in the next 20 years.
Saturn in Pisces will bring emotional responsibility and resilience to relationships, which will undergo a maturing process and will test the stability of all relationships. This year will be a decisive year for Virgos in this area, where relationships will move into a more serious phase.
With Jupiter expanding shared values, Virgos will be able to take on long-term responsibilities and have joint investment opportunities.
In the second half of the year, Virgos will have the opportunity to make very special trips and connect more with artistic, mystical and spiritual studies, as Jupiter will inspire them to see life with more harmony and pleasure.
It will be important to have their feet grounded in reality with preparation and good planning so that many of their dreams come true!
LIBRA
Libras, the sign of relationships, have had the blessings of Jupiter transiting in the area of relationships, which has provided personal and professional opportunities and changes. Libras have been invited to develop their own talents and personal identity, taking advantage of their more communicative and diplomatic side to place their gifts to their own advantage with new and important professional or romantic partnerships emerging. This will continue to develop in 2023, with noticeable repercussions in finance, especially from the second half of the year.
With Pluto in Aquarius, Libras will undergo a transformation of their identity, having the opportunity to bring some talent to the world in a freer and more independent way.
During the first half of the year, it is important to take advantage of the opportunities that new partnerships bring and allow more freedom in relationships.
Saturn in Pisces will bring responsibility and restructuring in daily work and will ask for special attention to health, routine and habits. Libras will feel the need to respect their body more, look at health in a more holistic way, and pay special attention to any important issue that needs healing.
They will undergo a move or restructuring at home, where they will work hard to create a new life.
It will be a year of total regeneration and transformation that will bring an important achievement in the long term!
SCORPIO
Scorpios are the sign whose changes have been most profound, affecting all areas of life, especially their emotional foundations and home.
With the eclipses taking place on the Taurus-Scorpio axis since 2021, relationships have changed in a profound and structural way, and with Saturn transiting in Aquarius, changes at home have been greatly felt, with extra responsibilities at home and in the family organisation.
With Jupiter transiting their area of work, routines and health since 2022, the focus has been on healing, regenerating and improving these matters in a different way.
Jupiter will enter Taurus in their relationship area in the second half of the year, where Scorpios will have opportunities to meet special people both on a romantic and professional level that will be of great value in the long term. New partnerships, clients and romances will awaken in 2023.
Saturn in Pisces will bring the need to put one’s talents into practice, develop one’s identity and also more responsibility with children, passions and creative projects. This will also be reflected in their professional career and financial life.
Pluto in Aquarius will show the great revolution that will happen in the structures of Scorpio’s emotional life involving their house and family base that will certainly develop in the next 20 years.
This is a year in which big changes will bring the necessary regeneration to face what Scorpios want to build!
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarians have been expanding the way they communicate with others, learning new things and going through important situations in the family. This year they will feel an even greater need to play as a team.
Jupiter has been making Sagittarians develop their talents, bringing more romance or bringing them closer to those who make them feel good. During the first half of the year, it will make Sagittarians dedicate themselves even more to their children, creative projects and their development of courage and authenticity.
Pluto in Aquarius comes to transform the way they think, communicate, sell, and circulate, even making it possible to move house or work.
Saturn will enter Pisces to bring maturity and responsibility to the home and will establish limits to family life.
With Jupiter transiting in Taurus in the second half of the year, Sagittarians will need to take more care of their well-being, body, diet, and daily and professional routine.
This year will be marked by a unique opportunity to make their dreams come true.
CAPRICORN
Capricorns have been going through a time conducive to pleasure and the development of talents and creativity, which will prove to be very financially advantageous. The planet Pluto will leave their sign where it has been since 2008 and will enter Aquarius during the Spring, giving Capricorns a glimpse of the financial transformation, personal values and self-esteem that will emerge in the next 20 years.
Possible dietary changes and transformations can also arise
with the aim of completely changing their mindset.
With Saturn entering Pisces, Capricorns will tend to see a restructuring in the way they communicate, move around and experience their daily routine. They will feel more responsibility and be invited to develop emotional and spiritual maturity to communicate with those close to them. This is a year when new courses, workshops or short-term studies can give very positive results in the long term.
Capricorns tend to become more empathetic and focus attention on their emotional base.
The family and the home will demand a lot of attention during 2023 and it is important that Capricorns remain positive and optimistic in order to promote their ideas and carry them out successfully!
AQUARIUS
Aquarians are in the midst of a revolution. With Saturn transiting their sign since 2020, they have developed enormous resilience and dealt with situations that require structural change, renewal of concepts, habits, paradigms and have been invited to rethink their role in society.
Jupiter has brought opportunities for public speaking, short trips and new surroundings for Aquarians, as well as expanded courage, independence and freedom, characteristics so typical of this sign.
With the entry of Saturn in Pisces, Aquarians will need to organise and structure their financial life and be very responsible for the commitments they take on.
Pluto will begin a great transformation of their personality and appearance and help them free themselves from restrictive situations.
In the second half of the year, Jupiter will enter Taurus in the family area, bringing luck and opportunities to find or restore a more comfortable home.
This year can help Aquarians leap into a new era, a new World and a new Horizon, where they will regenerate what has not yet been regenerated!
PISCES
Pisces are in the process of facing relationships with maturity and transforming their finances and this will continue this year.
Friends, groups and associations have been the source of great psychological and material transformations, and with the entry of Pluto in Aquarius, Pisces will need to transform unconscious beliefs, fears and self-sabotage and will experience moments of great liberation. It will be the beginning of a great revolution.
They will feel more need for introspection, to go on retreats and actively pursue holistic practices or even therapies.
When Saturn enters Pisces, they will have to take responsibility for their own bodies and be called upon to mature their personalities. They have the opportunity to become an authority in the environment where they work and with whom they relate.
Pisces are sensitive people, in need of moments of leisure, pleasure and inspiration, and will have to impose some limits so they can overcome the past and allow themselves to be freer and more independent.
Financial life will go through a moment of expansion that will depend on how Pisces communicate, teach or share what they know.
With eclipses on the Aries-Libra axis, new developments will arrive for them to make adjustments and changes in their finances and long-term investments.
This will be a decisive year for their dreams and for big projects to come true!
2023 started slowly, with delays, setbacks, and frustrations, and we were forced to deal with issues that remained unresolved from 2022 which led us to chase the damage during the month of January. Only in February did we truly start 2023.
If at first, everything seems like chaos, don’t be surprised! Be part of the Change!
