Your stars for 2023

Aries

Aries, so keen to ram ahead, fired up by an idea, sometimes overlooking preliminary research. With lucky Jupiter now in Aries, being fully yourself is easy and fortunate. Yet a careless approach is not how those mountain-climbing rams survive.

Ruler Mars begins 2023 retro in Gemini; looking back and checking facts is important. Mid-January’s direct phase means acting on those facts, and March begins with a lucky rush, when both Venus and Jupiter meet in Aries.

The week building to March 7 Full Moon bristles with ambitious plans that can actually work well, if follow-up is thorough. Guru planet Mars becomes master of ceremonies through March, April and early May, driving expansive Jupiter and the Aries Sun sign time from March 21’s Equinox.

New Moon in Aries plants hardy seeds and strong commitments on March 22. Your intuitive energy peaks when Mars enters Cancer, then between March 31 and April 30 proceeds to make helpful alliances with builder Saturn, messenger Mercury, the karmic axis and change-agent Uranus: this is a time to maximise practical ideas and changes.

Mid-May through to July emphasises inner journeys. Your spiritual path integrates more readily into daily life when you reach an 18-yearly renewal — the fateful North Node of the eclipse axis returns to Aries for 18 months on July 18. This karmic gateway electrifies an already fiery, energetic August. Full Moon in Aries on September 29 accents loving relationships, dropping old grudges and permission to be less worldly, more personal for a while.

Taurus

Despite occasional bumps, many Water and Earth harmonies sweeten your successes from March 6–12, then 17–21. As March ends, a lovely Venus in Taurus conjoins Awakener Uranus. Changes that have been building become fact, despite any resistance. Your natural love of fixed habits can integrate these shifts, just as tree roots embrace rocks.

Adapting To Drought
