Aquarius 2023 horoscope
2023 dawns with a sense of positivity and opportunity. Jupiter has just squeezed into Aries - a sextile aspect to you that is entirely helpful. It zips through until May, gifting you each in turn with a sense of being ‘in flow’.
Fortuitous associations with bosses or prominent people could bring fresh ideas ad starts. Expect new work projects or you may find new groups of like-minded people via leisure groups. It’s a fun time to mountain bike, hot air balloon or find the courage to do something similarly adventurous.
Jan - May is a positive part of the year. I’d encourage you to think big picture and have faith in your ideas and uniqueness. Share and collaborate with others. Find common ground with people (even the ones who bug you).
Projects begun now could be pretty successful in the future and well suited to the new era of ‘Aquarian-ness’ that begins during 2023-2025 with Pluto’s move into your sign. Think ventures that focus around humanitarian principles - crowd sourcing, sustainability. Egalitarian projects that benefit from new technologies.
Saturn moves out of your sign in March 2023 - a welcome ‘piss off’ after causing many of you angst since Dec 2020. This shift wraps up a phase that may have required extra grit to tackle challenges and low mood/energy. Astrologers have associated this placement with much of the Covid difficulties - including lockdowns and government imposed restrictions.
It’s possible that you’ve borne the brunt of this energy and Covid may have been particularly tricky for you in some way. Perhaps you’ve needed to be resourceful, more mature with money and have needed to thrive with limited means.
Saturn inevitably brings hard work. Luckily it also blesses you with the discipline needed to step up and make the effort consistently over the long term. So there is reward in seeing how far you’ve come, but it may have been a lonely and less joyful couple of years. Those of you born from Feb 10 will still get one last sweep of this energy before March 8. Lean in.
From there, you can relax a little. Be prepared for boundaries to shift and project timelines to balloon out. It could feel harder to get things done, particularly after May when Jupiter moves on to Taurus.
As Saturn moves out of Aquarius in March, Pluto tag-teams in. This is a really exciting, super-interesting preview of a whole new era. Lasting from Mar 24 - Jun 12, we’ll get a scintillating sniff of what themes will settle around us more permanently from 2024.
Larger societal shifts will be underway. You may find yourself swept up in the zeitgeist, feeling associated with larger movements of opinion and priority. The focus may be on progressive ideas, tech, crypto, nuclear fusion or biomedicine. Exciting breakthroughs are just around the corner.
On a personal level, the coming years will bring a slow pressure to transform yourself. It’s a tough process that pushes you into darker parts of your psyche. It’s a rebirth - caterpillar-into-a-butterfly territory. Those of you born Jan 20-24 will feel this energy in 2023.
Venus retrogrades during the second half of the year (Jul - Sep). Relationships may come into focus. Perhaps people are being tricky or you’re forced to return to a situation or person to make amends. Lovers may seem demanding. But swallow your pride and resolve any issues that have been causing friction.
There’s potential for this to be a feisty and exciting time - a friendship might develop into something more and you might be challenged to rethink them and what your connection is.
Two lunar eclipses may create pinch points, closing things down and making room for fresh starts. One on May 15 impacts those born Feb 1-8. It’s a nice time to get finances in order. Secrets could be revealed with the potential for an emotional few days.
The Oct 28 eclipse impacts those of you born in January. This holds more opportunity - it could be a focused time when a bit of obsessive thinking can help you to investigate opportunities and really see the truth in something.
In a nutshell: The ground shifts and challenge eases as you get swept up into larger planetary cycles.
PEAK ENERGY MONTHS - April, May.
PEAK ROMANCE MONTHS - Aug, Sep.
