Areas of Expansion in 2023 for Pisces:
Your Pisces 2023 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Money & Income
- Talents
- Transportation & Transit or Commute
- Communications
- Learning
- Personal Interests
Until May 16th, money, personal possessions, valuables, and self-worth continue to expand, increase, improve, and grow. Your desire for security and comfort is hearty now, and you’ll pursue these things with more confidence and verve. You feel that you deserve more or that you’re at a stage when you want to more thoroughly enjoy the fruits of your labor.
This influence spans two date ranges, with the first wave already behind you and the second and final wave underway as you begin 2023:
- from May 10-October 28, 2022,
- and from December 20, 2022-May 16, 2023.
You’re now on the second and final step, lasting until mid-May.
This is a strong time for buying long-term valuables. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period.
This cycle is vital for attracting more money from your associations or an online business, and for expanding a business. Be careful if you are suddenly in the position to receive, for example, a credit line or sizeable loan – spend wisely. You should certainly watch for overspending.
Potential difficulties: Be on the alert for an attitude towards money that is careless. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. If you’re overconfident about your ability to make money, then you might take foolish risks, such as borrowing from your future. Watch for over-indulgence. Be extra careful if lending or borrowing.
Otherwise, this is a good period for bringing a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work. You could be more enthusiastic or optimistic about earning a living. A money problem may clear up. Or, a major purchase or sale can figure strongly.
This can be a time of a significant memento or financial benefit, especially related to a parent or your career, a major possession, a reputation boost that also translates to higher income, or a windfall related to an ambitious approach.
You can be expanding your resources, developing your talents, and improving your money situation. It can be a time of a pleasant feeling of self-sufficiency. There can be powerful changes in how you view your money, resources, assets, personal belongings, and natural talents or earning power during this period.
As you connect with your career or long-term goals, it helps boost your feelings of self-worth and you can be determined to be responsible for your own income. It can be a good period for financial and professional blessings. You may need to take care of some unfinished business before money matters flow.
From May 16 onward, you begin to expand your personal interests, mind, and connections. You are ready to take on big projects! Your confidence in the future is powerful during this cycle that begins mid-May this year and runs to May 25, 2024.
With this trend, lasting a little over a year, your communications increase and expand. Depending on your current situation and your unique personality/circumstances, this influence can play out in several ways: You enjoy a more remarkable ability (and desire) to express yourself, and your interests grow. You might develop a mental interest or project more fully this year.
You can experience good fortune with vehicles, transportation, and the communications industry, or this good luck comes from siblings, classmates, or neighbors. You are sharper and more perceptive, and others are more receptive to your ideas. New opportunities to communicate can open up to you.
It can also be a busy, exciting, and rewarding period for learning. Your curiosity grows, and the chance to boost your skills or knowledge can emerge. If applicable, you might go/return to school or take some courses.
Potential challenges: Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies can be a problem now. It’s all too easy to lead a scattered, chaotic life, so try not to overload your plate. There can be a real tendency to want to do it all, forgetting your limits with time and energy. Taking on too many projects or becoming too entrenched in details can cause problems.
However, for the most part, you should expect to enjoy more opportunities through your communications and contact with others during this cycle.
You’re finding your voice and more fully enjoying what you’re doing, learning, teaching, and sharing. You might find that you’re busier locally. Your thinking is more upbeat, positive, and forward-looking, and so is how you express yourself.
In fact, this is an excellent time for improving your communication skills and general attitude or mindset. As you pay more attention to communicating effectively, other areas of your life improve. For example, reaching out or making warm gestures to others more often can improve your relationship with yourself and your bonds with others. There can be meaningful opportunities arising through meetings, courses, teaching, and connections you make in the neighborhood or through siblings. More community involvement could be satisfying. If they exist, problems with siblings or neighbors could be put to rest now, although they might magnify initially for problem areas to come out into the open and finally reach a resolution.
There can be increased communication with siblings, classmates, and peers in general during this period. You could find that transportation or communications options now available make life a little more enjoyable. Your commute is better, or devices that connect you with others improve. This theme often coincides with new wheels, rides, phones, or other devices that open up new or improved channels for connecting and getting around.
There can be times when a busier or more mentally engaging lifestyle conflicts with your need for rest and downtime. However, with some moderation, you’ll find ways to achieve a balance.
You may find it easier to express thoughts, feelings, or intuition in words at this time. Others may frequently turn to you for your wisdom and advice, or people are more interested in your feedback and input.
This can also be a time when your career or duties involve more connecting, commuting, or communicating.
In May when this transit begins, there can be initial challenges that require you to re-evaluate your goals and prioritize them. You might learn that freeing yourself from some burdensome issues or secrets you’ve been keeping to yourself can be liberating, but be selective regarding who you share yourself with. You might also be dealing with insecurities or fears that have been holding you back from saying what you feel and going after what you truly want. These need handling so you can express yourself more freely and joyfully.
Fortunately, in June especially, pouring your energy into a special project can be consuming in all the right ways. The focus is on order and organizing, which can be very satisfying. You might put a project or venture into motion. You’re also seeing the value of a more balanced approach to personal growth.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Inner World, Spirituality, Privacy, Personality, Initiative, Personal Image
Your Pisces 2023 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.
Until March 7th, the areas of your life that continue to require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs spirituality and retreat. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life–as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are worthy will endure and strengthen.
This influence began in 2020 and ends in March this year.
You’re likely to feel this influence most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Pisces. This year, it will influence those born from approximately March 14-21 and with a Pisces Ascendant of 23 to 30 degrees the most.
All that lies beneath the surface in your life is now coming up for inspection, and you are now to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche. Getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development — it’s ultimately a huge relief.
Do your best not to dwell on past failures or guilt for what you haven’t done during this cycle. Detach yourself from these things as much as possible. Aim to put things to rest.
This can also be a time when you give yourself to others, as you value charity more than usual. You could be struggling with issues of self-worth, and this is a fine time to really explore what it is that holds you back from going after what you want and deserve in life.
You could feel that you are dealing with endings more than new beginnings in some areas of life during this transit as you let go of outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for Saturn’s transit of Pisces beginning in March 2023, when you will work diligently on reworking your individuality and personal identity.
Until then, you can be somewhat introspective, and you might isolate yourself from others in some manner—a process that tends to come naturally at this point.
There can be a retiring, somewhat withdrawn, or private element to your personality during this phase. You may need to watch that people in your life don’t feel rejected by your withdrawal. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You can find alternative ways of living attractive, and you gravitate to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis.
There can be much to learn and enjoy during this cycle. With Saturn in the background of your chart, you might often feel relatively free of constraints. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius as it is currently doing was from 1991 to early 1994, and if you were alive or old enough to remember the circumstances of your life then, similar themes can emerge now.
You might keep your fondest hopes, wishes, or plans closer to the chest during this cycle. There could be hidden elements to your social life.
In February, especially, you might deal with a strong pull toward building a special project, which can feel a little too overwhelming with your valid need for downtime and privacy. Watch that fear of letting others in, or the discovery of past mistakes, doesn’t interfere with pursuing your material goals.
You might watch for a friend who is a hidden enemy or possibly a burden during this period. Caution is recommended with associations or groups that are sketchy. On the other hand, this influence might only point to friends made in private or anonymously.
You could be working on a project in solitude or behind the scenes, and when you do come out with it, it could be quite profitable. Ideally, you can translate your idealism into practical applications in your life.
From March 7th, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are your personal mannerisms, personality, image, and appearance. The associated sector of your solar chart also rules how you initiate things — your first impulse for coping with day-to-day demands. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life — as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are suitable and worthy will endure and strengthen.
This influence runs from March 2023 until 2025/2026. You’re likely to feel this transit most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Pisces. This year, it will influence those born from approximately February 18-26 and with a Pisces Ascendant of 0-7 degrees the most. The rest of the sign will feel its influence more directly in later years.
During this cycle, you are likely to be more cautious than you usually are and, at times, pessimistic. This transit doesn’t allow you to continue with illusions about the self, the body, and personal capabilities. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of the self. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may be less forthcoming, yet the work you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!
It’s a vital time for literally slimming down or shaping up if that’s a goal. You can more successfully begin new and improved health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly (instead of what you want to see). You can be serious during this phase, with more concern for your responsibilities and duties. You are getting in touch with your inner strength, which takes time and adjustment. This is a grounding energy that brings you back in touch with reality.
It’s also a significant period for issues surrounding your personal identity and self-image. Try not to come across as a heavy during this period — not everyone is going through the same cycle at the same time as you. However, others see you as more responsible. Self-discipline comes more naturally as well.
The best way to handle Saturn’s transit through your sign is to meet your responsibilities to the best of your ability. Do take a closer look at the areas you’ve allowed to slide, and listen to your feelings of disappointment, but don’t let this turn into regret or resentment. Instead, focus on making improvements and keep in mind the long-term. Short-sightedness now can get you into trouble. Impatience doesn’t bring rewards during this cycle. You could find that you don’t seem to “get away with” as much as you might usually while this transit is active.
The last time Saturn transited Pisces was from 1993 to early 1996.
There may be times when your business or material interests interfere with your efforts to get back on track, mostly in March. Still, overall, it’s a period for strengthening your life and building endurance and patience.
Especially in April, June, August, and October, pouring your energy into a particular project can be consuming in all the right ways. Your self-discipline is notable. It’s an excellent time for productivity. You may be advancing a communications project, and this helps to boost your confidence and feelings of satisfaction. It’s a time to recognize the value of a more balanced approach to personal growth.
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed in 2023: Communications, Connections, and Transportation
Your 2023 Pisces Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
All year, a long-term cycle continues that animates your communications and excites your curiosity. This influence will stick with you until 2026, and it revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you.
During this cycle, communications, learning, and connections may be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You continue to open up and express your unique ideas this year.
Your daily life is bound to be very colorful. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, are all changing quite dramatically. In addition, your basic mental attitudes are evolving. Your interests can become quite eclectic during this cycle. Studies may be erratic, inspired, or part-time.
Learning endeavors and relationships with acquaintances, neighbors, students, and siblings are exciting and engaging. You may become aware of some new and especially useful information, which puts a whole new slant on your life.
There can be times when you feel a little scattered or when dabbling can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Concentration and focus are not your strong suits at this time.
Your personal interests expand, and your ideas are different, unconventional, and innovative. New technologies or methods can open up new and unexpected experiences or channels for transportation and communication.
While you’re not typically a person who blurts things out too quickly, this can be a theme now and in the coming years! Be sure you make words work for instead of against you.
In 2023, you continue to benefit greatly from a quirky, open, and honest style. However, an up-and-down approach can sometimes work against you. While you’re working on answering your intuition, you don’t always have a lot of faith in your instincts, often overthinking things. Watch for communicating too quickly or compulsively, as you may be self-sabotaging. Your timing can be a little off at times.
Otherwise, this transit is a supportive, mind-opening one. Especially in late March and early May, there can be exciting ideas, interests, studies, and communications. You tend to attract information, people, or lessons into your life that encourage you to detach from traditions or conventions that have kept you from growing. It’s a good time to make pivotal discoveries or connections.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation
Your 2023 Pisces Horoscope reveals life areas where change and transformation occur. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.” The following areas are the major areas of transformation for you in 2023:
- Friendships
- Groups
- Emotional Health
- Spirituality
- Beliefs
- Communications
- Intimacy
- Money
Until March 23rd and from June 11th forward, attitudes towards friends and group involvements continue to transform this year. This period is excellent for publishing, networking, and connecting. You’re well-positioned to advance your interests through your connections with others, and your experiences are rewarding, educational, and empowering, to boot.
Happiness and fulfillment through expanding your mind, widening your social circle, and connections to people of a different cultural background than you are indicated. Your idealistic nature is stirring, and you will likely yearn for a connection to more spiritual or visionary pursuits. You gain a stronger sense of belonging through connection to something larger than yourself.
While changes can sometimes be unsettling, opportunities through these changes are likely to present themselves. Friendships or group associations that haven’t empowered you or are no longer doing so may be left behind, but this makes room for more authentic, empowering connections.
Since 2020, especially, when they were dramatically triggered, these areas have been more rewarding. This year, in 2023, this theme is starting to phase out, and you’re finding many resolutions to recent problems. Still, it would be best if you still guarded against overattachment and micromanaging these life departments.
From March 23rd to June 11th, a new Pluto theme is with you. While it’s only a sneak preview of a transit that will stick around for years to come, you’ll see some initial changes in 2023.
Attitudes towards spirituality and the past begin to transform this year. You’re doing crucial long-term work concerning purging past attitudes and confronting inner demons. This influence is only just beginning and, once it takes hold, will be with you for many years to come.
You are confronting deeply buried aspects of your psyche and learning unusual things about the hidden side of your nature. With this knowledge, you are also learning to control it! Matters you’ve buried, such as past events that you are ashamed of, emerge and require handling. Facing your ghosts honestly is required of you now and in the coming years. Self-improvement efforts can be tremendous.
At times challenging, you should watch that you don’t limit your life due to insecurities. In May, there can be initial challenges that require you to re-evaluate your goals and prioritize them. You might learn that freeing yourself from burdensome issues or secrets you’ve been keeping to yourself can be liberating, but be selective regarding who you share yourself with. You might also be dealing with insecurities or fears holding you back from saying what you feel and going after what you truly want. These need handling so you can express yourself more freely and joyfully.
However, it’s a generally good time to clear away lingering problems. Figuratively speaking, you are cleaning out the closet!
Eclipses this year continue to challenge you to develop and balance communications, transportation, and studies. In these areas of life, you’re likely to see meaningful changes.
The North Node continues to transit your solar third house until mid-July. This transit points to a genuine need to reach out, connect, make contact, learn, and communicate, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life now and part of next year as well.
You’re in particularly good shape for these themes in February, April, late May, and early June, when you make contact with associates or friends that are notably beneficial. There can be exciting interests, connections, and channels for expressing yourself or commuting suddenly opens up for you.
This theme is about communications, transportation, personal interests, and studies. In these areas of life, you’re likely to see important changes.
The Solar Eclipse in April pushes you along a new journey about building a solid income or boosting your resources. Especially from mid-July forward, you are learning to ask for what you deserve and to take charge of your earnings. This theme will continue through to early 2025, and there is a real need to manage your income, resources, valuables, and talents, as well as great benefits for doing so.
Your Planetary Rulers in 2023: Neptune and Jupiter are your planetary rulers. Neptune is in your sign again, all year, reminding you of your special magic. This transit is with you until 2025/2026.
This year, Jupiter encourages a stronger focus on taking charge of your earnings and, later, communicating, learning, and connecting. You’re chattier, more frequently reaching out, and frequently finding interesting things to do, share, and learn.
Note Jupiter and Neptune retrograde periods–when you’re more naturally observing more than acting or pushing forward:
Jupiter is retrograde from September 4th to December 30th in 2023, and Neptune is retrograde from June 30th to December 6th.
*It’s important to note that birthdates for Sun signs are always approximate since the starting date and time varies a bit every single year. If you were born on one of these cutoff dates (commonly known as a “cusp”), you can get a definitive answer using a Sun Sign Calculator. You can also write reports@cafeastrology.com with your birth information and we can let you know your true Sun sign if you were born on or beside the approximate date range given for any sign of the zodiac.
**If you want to know your Ascendant, find out with an Ascendant calculator, such as our What’s My Ascendant?, but do note that an Ascendant cannot be determined for unknown birth times. Note that the modern Ascendant calculators use a time zone atlas that is very precise for dates after 1970, but there are nuances for birthdates before 1970 that are better captured in the Free Report section.
