Sunday, JANUARY 1
We begin the new year with a Venus-Pluto alignment that has us connecting with our deeper wants and needs. As the day advances, however, energies diffuse.
We’re especially cooperative with the Taurus Moon trine the Capricorn Sun. The Sun is quintile Neptune this morning, and we’re gracious, giving one another the benefit of the doubt. It can feel terrific to put our faith in someone or something now, and we’re inclined to see the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits.
Further, retrograde Mercury heads toward a sextile to Neptune, stirring our imagination. We tend to reminisce and reimagine past events. We rely more on our intuition when making judgments and drawing conclusions. We are inspired, and we might inspire others with our words. There is psychic openness in our interactions, and our communications are notably gentler or more compassionate.
We’re also heading toward a Sun-North Node trine that encourages us to aspire to our goals, rise to a challenge, and grow and improve.

Monday, JANUARY 2
Mercury’s sextile to Neptune early today opens our minds to different viewpoints.
The Sun forms a trine to the Moon’s North Node this morning, highlighting our need to grow, but a Sun-Chiron square towards midday points to wavering confidence. We may doubt our inner guide and face situations that test our vulnerabilities. Some indecision is possible. This transit tends to stir up insecurity or uncertainty about our direction, convictions, or purpose.
A dip in confidence or faith in our resolutions and principles can lead to following others’ leads, which can later be regrettable. A better approach would be to recognize our feelings of vulnerability.
Also today, Venus moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, where it will transit until the 26th. We’re moving towards more unconventionality, independence, and freedom in our social relationships.
Under this influence, experimental or non-traditional relationships, entertainment, purchases, and pursuits are especially intriguing. Allowing one another fuller freedom of expression and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially are themes. Our tastes and interests incline towards the avant-garde during this cycle.
The Moon is void from 5:17 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Gemini at 9:45 PM EST.

Venus is in Aquarius from January 2-26, 2023. Venus enters Aquarius today, January 2nd, at 9:09 PM EST.
We move towards unconventionality, independence, and freedom as themes in our social relationships under this influence. Aquarius can be just as faithful as Capricorn, but it has to be on its own terms! Experimental relationships are more intriguing now.
Being friends as well as lovers is important to us during this cycle. Allowing one another freedom of expression, and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially, are themes now.

Wednesday, JANUARY 4
A Venus-Jupiter sextile this morning encourages us to loosen up as we tap into our spirit for enjoyment. It’s a soft, pleasant influence that promotes cooperation, acceptance, inclusiveness, and optimism, particularly in our relationships. We are freer and more generous with our affection, time, and money.
This is one of the most favored transits for entertaining and socializing. We bring optimistic spiritual energy to our lives and seek a higher purpose or meaning through our connections and values. Romantic opportunities can emerge, or there can be lucky finds, pleasing purchases, and a hopeful financial outlook or prospects.
Later today, we’re creative about going after what we want with a biquintile between the Sun and Mars. We can maneuver and plan stylishly, and we’re naturally competitive without antagonism. It’s a useful transit for planning and strategizing.
The Moon spends the day in sociable, intelligent Gemini.
The void Moon occurs from 7:08 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Saturn), until the Moon enters Cancer the next day, Thursday, January 5th, at 9:15 AM EST.

Thursday, JANUARY 5
The Sun forms a trine to Uranus today, promoting changes and encouraging us to embrace the new. Unique or unconventional opportunities might emerge. An original approach to life is appealing and works to our benefit. This transit can detach us just enough from a situation to move forward. We might make some exciting discoveries, and our willingness to take a few creative risks and experiment may be the key to success. We’re ready to embrace new plans and get rid of deadweights. It’s a time to celebrate the unusual or non-traditional.
The Moon continues its transit of communicative Gemini until 9:15 AM EST, when it moves into soulful, protective Cancer.

Friday, JANUARY 6
Saturn forms a semi-sextile to Neptune today–a longer-term aspect that first occurred on May 17th and then recurred on May 31st. There can be some ambivalence while this transit is active. Our sense of our obligations is strong, but so is a tendency to avoidance, which in turn feeds guilt and undermines confidence.
We should watch for over-rationalizing or denying matters that make us uncomfortable or that would require more energy and action from us if we acknowledged them.
Similarly, it can be challenging to fully allow ourselves to dream or let go. We may be attempting to feed our imagination and our need for realism but have difficulty finding a middle ground.
We need to make adjustments that help strike a balance between a practical/responsible approach to our lives and incorporating more spiritual and idealistic goals.
A Full Moon occurs at 6:08 PM EST in the sign of Cancer, and it’s a time of culmination and heightened awareness. We can become especially aware of any over-attachment we might have to outdated pleasures, connections, or things. The need for family, nurturing, safety, and comfort is strong. Something comes to light now, and if we get in touch with our emotions/hearts, we can better understand what needs to change or what needs to go. We seek nourishment from others, and we tend to support others more naturally in turn.
This Wolf Moon harmonizes with Uranus and the True North Node of the Moon. It also occurs near the inferior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury. Our revelations are pivotal, gently surprising, and growth-oriented, even if we’re temporarily focusing on the past.

Saturday, JANUARY 7
The inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun occurs this morning, giving us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. This is a good time to process recent events and ideas. We begin looking at problems or issues from a fresh perspective and a new understanding.
Significant new ideas are born at this time, and they’re likely to have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or worse! However, we may not have all the facts necessary to reach a definite conclusion, and we might have to revise plans or decisions later.
The Moon continues in Cancer until 9:40 PM EST, when it heads into Leo.
The void Moon occurs from 5:23 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Pluto), until the Moon enters Leo at 9:40 PM EST.

The Moon spends the day in Leo, and we’re cheerful and open-hearted.
With retrograde Mercury trine Uranus today, creative ideas come readily. It can be a time to return to a recent plan or problem for further thought or insight. Conversations and musings can be unique, leading to new ideas and perspectives. We might seek out topics, news, and discussions that lift us above minor problems and free our thinking today.

Monday, JANUARY 9
Venus forms a semi-square to Neptune, then a trine to Mars this morning.
The Venus-Neptune aspect points to the tendency to gloss over problems or see what we want to see, imagining the best or the worst. Of course, the truth is somewhere in between. We might have temporary doubts about our lovability and worth or about relationships, pleasure, or comfort levels. Alternatively, we might go in the other direction and look the other way in the face of critical flaws and details.
However, the Venus-Mars trine convinces us to push past these things and enjoy ourselves. Sexual attraction, romantic activities, creativity, and fertility are favored. This transit spurs us on and stimulates friendly competition, which can be motivating. We may connect with someone from our past or renew our interest in a partner. With Mars currently retrograde, we may not be quite as assertive or direct in our approach as we may be otherwise.
The Moon is void from 8:53 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Saturn), until the Moon enters Virgo the next day, Tuesday, January 10th, at 10:16 AM EST.

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 10:16 AM EST, when it enters detail-oriented Virgo.
A Sun-Jupiter quintile contributes to a sense of growth, although we should watch for posturing rather than embracing change. This transit helps us see patterns more clearly. It also encourages us to view what’s happening in a positive light. We’re interested in making the best of our circumstances now.
As the day advances, we close in on a Mercury-Chiron square, pointing to possibly strained, unnatural communications. We can be more sensitive to criticism than usual. We may doubt ourselves when solving problems or learning and expressing ourselves. Even so, a temporary dip might boost our motivation to improve.

Wednesday, JANUARY 11
The Moon spends the day in Virgo and harmonizes with Mercury and Uranus. This transit encourages our desire to help, sort, and analyze. We find it easier than usual to tap into novel ideas and find common ground with others.
However, retrograde Mercury forms a semi-sextile to Venus, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we try to get the words just right, we could fall short with sensitivity. This transit subtly contrasts a logical and playful approach. Still, while we may not be especially focused today, we’re adaptable and making an effort to understand one another.

Thursday, JANUARY 12
Mars stations and turns direct today after over two months of retrograde motion (Mars has been retrograde since October 30th, 2022, in the sign of Aries). This afternoon, the fiery planet is stationary as it begins direct motion.
Mars energy hangs heavy in the air today and in the next couple of days as Mars changes direction. Slowly but surely, over the coming weeks, we are likely to regain our enthusiasm, projects that have stalled move forward, and we begin to feel more confident and assertive. We may change our minds about recent decisions or projects as priorities become more explicit. Ideally, we’ve learned more about our desires, and motivation levels increase.
As the shift occurs today, it’s best to wait and see. Today’s Venus-Chiron sextile is forgiving. We’re open to learning to overcome our insecurities. We more easily identify the needs and desires we’ve suppressed, and getting into a healthier relationship with these buried needs can help. We’re more inclined toward intimacy and sharing and see beauty in our imperfections. As we learn what we genuinely value, our choices and decisions about relationships and finances improve.
The void Moon occurs from 6:07 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Libra at 9:57 PM EST.

Mars now turns direct at 8° Gemini 08′ after over two months of retrograde motion.
Mars Retrograde Cycle from October 30, 2022, to January 12, 2023:
Mars Retrograde Dates in 2022-2023:
Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, to January 12th, 2023.
- Mars enters its retrograde zone on September 3, 2022, at 8° Gemini 08′
- Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, 2022, at 25° Gemini 37’Rx
- Mars turns direct on January 12th, 2023, at 8° Gemini 08′
- Mars leaves its retrograde zone on March 15th, 2023, at 25° Gemini 37′
Mars spent its full retrograde cycle in the sign of Gemini during this cycle.
Mars is in its post-retrograde shadow until March 15th.
The Sun opposes retrograde Mars on December 8th, 2022 (the Sun only opposes Mars while Mars is retrograde). The Moon aligns with Mars at almost the same time–it’s a powerful Full Moon as it aligns with the Sun-Mars opposition.
Mars is in its shadow period from September 3rd to October 30th, and then from January 12th to March 15th, 2023.
When Mars was in its retrograde cycle, we re-assessed our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly assert our desires, we tended towards introspection.
With Mars now direct, we slowly but surely ease back into action, rebuilding or refueling our confidence with clearer goals.

Friday, JANUARY 13
This morning’s Sun-Neptune sextile can help us tune into our imaginations and intuition. Instinctual judgment is enhanced under this influence. We see things from a perspective that celebrates our differences.
However, with the Sun also sesquiquadrate Mars, there is an inclination to shortness and impulsive decision-making. We can be irritable. This influence can aggravate frustrations if things don’t seem to be moving fast enough for us, and this is likely the case with Mars only direct since yesterday.
Ideally, this minor aspect motivates us to push past an obstacle. The Moon spends the day in conciliatory, gracious Libra. We’re happy to connect and harmonize, although we don’t always get the words right this afternoon.

Saturday, JANUARY 14
Early today, a Sun-Saturn semi-sextile influence has a somewhat heavy feeling. We can find it challenging to enjoy ourselves thoroughly without a vague sense that we’re neglecting a responsibility.
As the day advances, we’re going in the opposite direction. It’s all too easy to feel caged in, and we tend to rebel against anything that ties us down. A Venus-Uranus square presents a potential challenge or struggle. Values and tastes may clash, and social activities could suffer as a result. We can feel torn between wanting closeness and freedom. Impulsive attractions to people and/or material goods can lead us astray.
Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are possible themes in our relationships. It’s best to hold off on decision-making regarding finances, as there is a tendency to act on a whim rather than reason. We might feel discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes, and a change may be satisfying. It’s probably best to tame restlessness or avoid abrupt moves but consider our needs for growth and a change of pace.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs at 9:10 PM in Libra, and this phase of the Moon points to a possible crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the full light of the Moon at the time of last week’s Full Moon, we begin to see what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon when something new is born again.
It’s not the best time to start a significant project, but we might begin to finish up the details of whatever we conceived at the last New Moon. Ideally, we’re arriving at a more mature view of a project or situation.

From 7:09 AM forward, with a Scorpio Moon, we’re observant, resourceful, and ready to get to the bottom of a matter. It’s a period of more emotional intensity and focus. With the Moon’s sextile to Mercury tonight, it’s an excellent time to gather information and do some research.

Monday, JANUARY 16
The Moon transits perceptive, deeply feeling Scorpio all day. While it’s not always easy to get a good “read” on others today with the Moon’s opposition to Uranus and square to Venus, it’s a fine time for exploring the layers of situations.
As the day advances, we approach a Mercury-Mars quincunx, pointing to the potential for too-quick judgments, statements, and decisions. Anxiousness to put something behind us can lead to rushing decisions. This potential is greater due to Mercury’s current and Mars’s recent retrograde. We can experience aggravation if we’re not understood or can’t seem to get where we want to go fast enough. What we do and what we think or communicate can be at odds. Instead of listening to others, we may interrupt them and make assumptions. It’s not a good time for making important decisions, and we should watch for impatience.
Mercury is heading to a station on the 18th, and this aspect will form again shortly after it turns direct–on the 20th. Effectively, this transit influences us until the 20th.

Wednesday, JANUARY 18
Mercury stations and turns direct today after retrograde motion since December 29th.
Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should begin to improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive, and plans or projects that have stalled might now resume.
However, we can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during today’s shift. Thus, we might avoid critical decision-making for the time being, if possible. It’s a better day to take in than to take action. It’s also a good idea not to rush conversations and observations.
Still, the Sun forms its yearly alignment with Pluto, and we seek more intensity from our lives and relationships. We’re persistent, and the need to gain more control over our lives can feel pressing.
We are strong-willed, resourceful, and focused, and we may very well benefit by keeping things to ourselves and not rushing forward prematurely. This influence brings the desire for self-mastery to our attention. A minor crisis might alert us to an area of life that requires work, improvement, and transformation.
We should guard against temperamental behavior and decision-making. Some paranoia or extremes of thinking could be behind this. The focus should be on recycling, updating, revising, and eliminating so that we can grow.

Mercury now turns direct at 8° Capricorn 08′.
Mercury is retrograde from December 29th, 2022, at 24° Aquarius 21′, until January 18, 2023, at 8° Capricorn 08′.
Mercury Retrograde Cycle from December 29, 2022 to January 18, 2023:
- December 12, 2022, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone at 8° Capricorn 08′
- December 29, 2022, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 24° Capricorn 21′
- January 18, 2023, Mercury stations and turns direct at 8° Capricorn 08′
- February 7, 2023, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone at 24° Capricorn 21′
The year 2022’s final retrograde Mercury cycle began near the end of the year–on December 29th, 2022, and lasted until now, January 18th, 2023. Mercury’s shadow period began on December 12th, 2022, and ends on February 7th, 2023. Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde. The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly.
Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.
Also note that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy.
Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.
Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.
While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering. In Capricorn this time, we’re reviewing career matters, business, reputation, status, and connections with those in authority.
Now that Mercury is direct, slowly but surely, information unclogs, and we can move on. Ideally, while Mercury was retrograde, we had the chance to catch up, refine details, and change our minds if needed.

The Moon continues its transit of free-spirited Sagittarius until 2:13 PM EST, after which it travels through responsible Capricorn. We’re especially interested in what’s true and just with the Sagittarius Moon. We set our sights high during this transit, but if too high, the Moon’s square to Neptune this morning can burst our bubble. Optimism is one of the positive traits of this position; neglecting to see the essential details of a plan is a weakness.
With the Capricorn Moon, we pay more attention to our long-term goals and responsibilities. We crave results, preferring to see the reality of a situation. Our attention turns to our more practical drives and goals, although there can be distractions with the Moon’s square to Jupiter this evening.
The void Moon occurs from 5:10 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 2:13 PM EST.

Friday, JANUARY 20
The Sun heads into the sign of Aquarius today for a stay until February 18th. During this cycle, we are motivated by our need for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. Our attention turns to what’s outdated in our lives, and we strive to find new perspectives and methods. The structure and order that Capricorn found appealing now seem too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe in the month ahead. However, we can be unreliable, unpredictable, or too rebellious for our own good when the Sun is under strain.
Mercury, while still retrograde, formed a quincunx with Mars on the 17th. Today, direct Mercury meets Mars through the same aspect, and there can be misjudgments and a disconnect between our desires or actions and what we say or think.

Sun is in Aquarius from January 20-February 18, 2023.
During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.
We recognize those things that are obsolete or outdated, and we’re ready to change the world with new ideas and methods. We might often let our heads rule over our hearts during this cycle, preferring an objective, impersonal, and rational approach to life.

The Moon continues its transit of solid Capricorn until 1:30 PM EST, when it moves into Aquarius. The New Moon occurs early in the sign of Aquarius today at 3:55 PM.
This lunation motivates or prompts us to start fresh with friendship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, happiness pursuits, trying something new, or humanitarian efforts.

This New Moon harmonizes with Jupiter and separates from a conjunction with Pluto, and we’re ready to renovate and improve our lives now.
The Moon is void from 10:53 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 1:30 PM EST.

The Moon is New in Aquarius on January 21, 2023, at 3:53 PM EST.
The New Moon in Aquarius marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Capricorn New Moon cycle ends and the Aquarius New Moon cycle begins. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus. New beginnings regarding any or all of these matters are possible now.
This is a time during which we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box.” We look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision, frequently brainstorm and socialize, and focus on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us. It’s a time to give our emotions and passions a “break”, as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts. We might learn how something (or someone) works or revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different.
This cycle encourages us to reach out to people in our social circle and in our community, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks. We might also recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back.
With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.
This New Moon harmonizes with Jupiter and separates from a conjunction with Pluto. We’re ready to make renovations and improvements to our lives now.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 1 degree and 33 minutes of Aquarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 6 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) and 28 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Sunday, JANUARY 22
The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, and Aquarian ruler, Uranus, stations and turns direct today. Uranus has been retrograde since August 24th, and with its station, Uranian energy hangs heavy in the air this week.
As the planet gains speed in the next few weeks, our urge to express our unique selves, take some chances or risks, rebel, listen to our instincts, and stir up change are reawakened or externalized.
Mercury forms a semi-square with Venus early today, and there can be minor misunderstandings or indecision. It’s not easy to concentrate or connect with our hearts. There can be irritating disconnects as we either rationalize our feelings or emotionalize our observations.
Venus aligns with Saturn later today, however, and we seek clarity. We’re more thoughtful about our attachments and affections. When it comes to finances and relationships, we may need to limit a pleasure or indulgence or sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). Extravagances have a way of catching up with us, and buckling down is necessary.
Still, we’re inclined to feel good about making a mature choice now. We may experience a new sense of realism in our relationships. It can also be a time for bonding more strongly with loved ones through the sharing of responsibility, concerns, or dilemmas.
We might face reality about our finances, a personal belief, or a love/social matter. A commitment may be made, or there can be a “test” to an existing commitment.

The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 12:37 PM EST, after which it moves through Pisces. We’re more objective with the Aquarius Moon.
The Moon hooks into the Venus-Saturn energy, and with a Venus-Saturn parallel, we continue to take our interactions, pleasures, relationships, and money more seriously this morning.
The Pisces Moon brings on a need to unwind, go with the flow, or accept and forgive. It awakens our need for spiritual refreshment or an escape from everyday life.
However, today’s Mercury-Saturn semi-square points to potential delays or miscommunications. We may need to manage some inconveniences in our communications and transit.
The Moon is void from 5:21 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces at 12:37 PM EST.

While a Venus-Chiron semi-square suggests we’re focusing on differences rather than similarities in our relationships, today’s Sun-Jupiter sextile is generous. It can be a time for engaging with others in delightful ways and enjoying opportunities for doing so. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent. Some form of recognition or distinction is possible now. We can grasp the “big picture,” which expands our perspective, and we feel more vital and confident.

We seek refreshment or escape with the Pisces Moon until 1:49 PM EST, after which we’re ready for action with an Aries Moon.
The Moon’s alignment with Jupiter tonight encourages us to embrace our needs for self-direction, self-expression, and initiative. Our moods lift.
The Aries Moon also harmonizes with the Aquarius Sun, and while we want to be the first to discover new things with this Moon position, it would benefit us to share time with others. We can enjoy increased clarity derived from a feeling that what we want and need are in harmony.

Thursday, JANUARY 26
The Moon spends the day in assertive, direct Aries.
However, Venus moves into the sign of Pisces today for a stay until February 20th. This transit brings sweet but sometimes escapist energy to our lives, especially our interactions and relationships. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although difficult to reach, as there is a longing for something hard to define and satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under this influence.
The shadow side of this position can involve evasiveness and avoidance. Otherwise, it’s a time for increased compassion and greater understanding. We’re opening our minds to different pleasures and pastimes in the weeks ahead.

Venus enters Pisces
Venus is in Pisces from January 26-February 20, 2023. Venus enters the sign of Pisces today.
Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.
Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.
Money may slip through our fingers, or we could turn a blind eye to some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.
This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.

Friday, JANUARY 27
Mercury forms a square to Chiron this morning, which can point to strained, unnatural communications. We can be more sensitive to criticism. We may doubt ourselves when solving problems or learning and expressing ourselves. Ideally, a temporary dip will boost our motivation to improve.
The Moon continues its transit of Aries until 6:43 PM EST, which can be impatient but enterprising and straightforward energy. The Taurus Moon is an even-tempered position, and we tend to seek comfort, harmony, familiarity, security, and pleasure.
The void Moon occurs from 4:02 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Taurus at 6:43 PM EST.

Saturday, JANUARY 28
The Moon continues its transit of stable Taurus all day. This morning, the First Quarter Moon occurs when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square with the Moon in Taurus.
There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. We become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. Whatever project or initiative we began around the New Moon is now off the ground, and it may face its first obstacles. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also high energy, motivation, and growth.
However, a Sun-Neptune semi-square can be disorienting. There may be some indecision or listlessness. Our willpower may decrease as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. This aspect serves as a gentle reminder to consider our needs for downtime, fantasy, or spiritual refreshment.

Sunday, JANUARY 29
The Sun harmonizes with Mars, energizing us and supporting activity, initiative, and enterprise. Mars was recently retrograde but is now picking up speed after turning direct on the 12th.
Today’s Sun-Mars trine helps boost our motivation. Energy and vitality are strong. We want to put plans into motion, take the lead, and get busy. Our sense of timing is good, and belief in ourselves comes naturally. This can be a good time to do what we love, follow our passions, or pursue a pleasure more heartily than usual.
Mercury’s trine to Uranus reinforces a theme of looking forward. With this mind-opening aspect, we seek answers that aren’t the most obvious, and we can get to some exciting places on a mental level. We’re expressing ourselves in different or unique ways rather than falling back on old habits of thinking and communicating, and it’s successful. Conversations can be gently provocative, leading to new ideas and perspectives.
Mercury, too, was recently retrograde, and we might now get answers, solutions, or green lights for delayed projects and pursuits.

Monday, JANUARY 30
The Moon continues its transit of deliberate Taurus until it heads into Gemini at 3:35 AM EST. We’re moving from wanting to keep things steady to a desire to connect and communicate.
The Gemini Moon, lasting until Wednesday afternoon, encourages us to diversify, put our feelers out, and pick up new ideas or tips. We’re more interactive and versatile with this Moon, although we can also be jumpy or inconsistent.
With the Moon’s alignment with Mars tonight, we’re excitable, ready for debate, competitive, and courageous. Our thoughts might race, and we can be very quick (possibly too fast) to respond and react.
The Moon is void from 12:52 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Gemini at 3:35 AM EST.

The Moon is Full in Leo on February 5, 2023, at 1:28 PM EST.
Details
The Moon is Full in Leo on February 5, 2023, at 1:28 PM EST.
The Full Moon in Leo marks the beginning of a new cycle.
The Moon is full when the Aquarius Sun opposes the Moon in Leo. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time–a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
The Leo-Aquarius polarity deals with the balance between all that is personal (Leo) and all that is impersonal (Aquarius). The energy of the Leo Moon is creative self-expression and the boost to the individual ego that we receive through pleasure and romance, while the Aquarius Sun rules the group, more impersonal friendships, and objectivity. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between romance and friendship, and between expressing ourselves in personal and impersonal ways.
The Leo Moon is proud and intensely individual–not content with simply being just one of the team. The Aquarius Sun, while individualistic as well, values independence and the “team.” The Full Moon illuminates this conflict.
With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic illumination occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Over the coming weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is not particularly rational as yet.
This Full Moon forms a square to Uranus, adding some rebellious, unexpected, premature, or abrupt energy to our epiphanies and revelations.
The same Full Moon in Leo chart with additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 16 degrees and 41 minutes of Leo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 14 to 20 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mercury is in Aquarius from February 11-March 2, 2023.
When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.
We’re reasonable, finding it easier to separate intellect and emotion when assessing a situation. Although progressive-minded and receptive to new studies and information, we are not quick to sway from our ideas and beliefs. During this cycle, we take more interest in thinking that’s daring or original. As we envision a better future, we can come up with truly interesting ideas and concepts.

Sun enters Pisces
Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 20, 2023.
With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side can include self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.
While we may not always verbalize or express our feelings and impressions during this cycle, they’re strong and motivating. We prefer to believe and trust, giving things/people the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. We might often tune out problems or conflicts rather than tackle them head on, hoping they will iron themselves out. Prosperity flows when we’re connecting with our heart, being kind, and helping others. The need to withdraw or retreat to restore our energy is strong from time to time.

The Moon is New in Pisces on February 20, 2023, at 2:06 AM EST.
The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for the Pisces New Moon in 2023.
The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins.
The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another.
With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.
The major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. This New Moon is separating from an alignment with Saturn, suggesting a sense that we have our responsibilities in mind, but that we’re also picking up steam in the faith or inspiration department. Venus is at the very end of the sign of Pisces–it will enter Aries within minutes after the New Moon–suggesting an ending in the social or financial department could power or drive our new beginnings.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 1 degree and 22 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 5 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 27 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Venus enters Aries
Venus is in Aries from February 20 to March 16, 2023. With Venus in Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past–it’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now.
Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to the sign. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.
While Venus is in Aries, we gravitate to Aries-like activities, pleasures, pastimes, and objects of interest. Our tastes can veer toward action, new enterprise, conquests, courageous or daring acts, and so forth. We can be somewhat impulsive with our money or entertainment choices.
Our interests can be insistent and strong, but possibly short-lived. It’s not the best time for holding onto money. We might pour our resources too quickly into new ventures or projects but tire of these things just as rapidly.

Mercury is in Pisces from March 2-19, 2023–which is relatively quick. Mercury enters Pisces this evening.
When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style.
We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information.
It’s not always easy to verbalize our impressions during this cycle. We don’t enjoy pinning down, labeling, or strictly defining things. We recognize that life isn’t always logical, and we prefer not to think in black and white terms. We’re sensitive and impressionable, which means we can take in more than usual and it can sometimes overwhelm us. Pisces needs periodic time alone or within to regenerate and detox.

Jupiter, at 14° Aries 27′, forms a conjunction with Chiron, at 14° Aries 27′, on March 12, 2023. This is a one-off transit (it doesn’t repeat two more times as many outer-planet transits do).
With Jupiter forming a conjunction to Chiron, we have an increased need for greater understanding, wisdom, and awareness, as well as a stronger interest in the healing arts and holistic health. It may be a time during which we reconsider or revamp our personal belief system.
The potential for ridding ourselves of negative attitudes that have been holding us back or keeping us in a psychologically wounded state is strong.

Venus enters Taurus
Venus is in Taurus from March 16 to April 11, 2022. In Taurus, Venus is naturally very sensual, content, and possessive. We seek security and value those things that are long-lasting. Our appetite for pleasure is strong.
The sign of Taurus values the here and now and the world of the five senses. Tangible and physical expressions of love and romance figure strongly during the Venus-in-Taurus cycle. Holding on to someone or something we love is our tendency under this influence.
The shadow side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners as objects that we own or want to own.
On the financial side, Venus in Taurus looks for high-quality, solid, practical, and long-lasting items. Holding on to our possessions is more likely now. With art, tastes, and pleasures, we prefer things that are earthy, natural, and grounded. We can be somewhat indulgent at this time. Uncertainty bothers us more than usual–we favor stability over excitement in love and pleasure.

- direct, straightforward, honest, uncomplicated (perhaps insensitive or blunt) communications
- executive decisions
- preference to learn through personal experience, not instruction

Mars is in Cancer from March 25 to May 20, 2023. We pursue our interests ardently, but we avoid a direct approach to going after we want while Mars transits Cancer. As well, our goals and plans are subject to mood swings and vacillations. We are defensive rather than overtly aggressive. Much of what we do depends on our current mood of the moment.
We’re also very intuitive and can be moved to take action to bring peace or comfort and safety to our lives during this period. We go to bat for our loved ones. In fact, we’re fiercely protective. It’s a powerful period for putting ego matters aside so that we can push our plans forward. Inner satisfaction and love are generally more important to us than outer achievements at this time. Personal and domestic goals are our priority during this phase.

Mercury is in Taurus from April 3 to June 11, 2023. This period is much longer than Mercury’s typical three weeks or so in a sign due to an upcoming retrograde.
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking.
We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking.
Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.

Venus is in Gemini from April 11 to May 7, 2023. With Venus in Gemini, we have a finger in every pie. Curiosity motivates us on romantic and social levels. “Variety is the spice of life” is the motto now. We are sociable, communicative, charming, and interested.
While it’s a time when we can be animated and fun, we may also keep our distance on an emotional level. Attractions now often begin with words, as we tend to bond more readily on a mental level while Venus is in Gemini. We’re most attracted to mentally interesting people. Sometimes, our curiosity leads us into relationships that we might not form otherwise. The shadow side of Gemini is fickleness or disinterest in profundity.
Venus in Gemini is flirtatious, captivating, and adaptable. We ask questions and want to keep things light and lively. During this transit, we do best when we’re mentally engaged and our desire for variety is addressed. Social stimulation is appealing. Good fortune with transportation and communication can figure strongly.

Sun is in Taurus from April 20-May 21, 2023. The Sun enters Taurus on April 20, 2024, at 4:13 AM EDT.
In Taurus, the Sun is methodical, sensual, and receptive. The Sun in Taurus is most active when it is defending or resisting! As the Sun moves through Taurus when plants take root, our determination and security needs are strong. Taurus is loyal to all that is familiar and values longevity. The shadow side of Taurus is possessiveness and bullheadedness.
The Sun in Taurus is the connoisseur and sensualist. It’s patient, stubborn, earthy, stable, and rooted. The Sun-in-Taurus cycle is a good one for maintaining or building, as well as enjoying and appreciating what’s already in place. While the Taurus Sun is slow to warm up, it’s stable and persevering once it does. We value what’s long-term, strong, and lasting during this phase.
While the Sun is in Taurus in 2023, it makes the following aspects:

Mercury now turns retrograde at 15° Taurus 37′.
Mercury is retrograde from April 21, 2023, at 15° Taurus 37′, until May 14, 2023, at 5° Taurus 51′. In other words, Mercury stays in Taurus while retrograde for approximately 23 days.
Mercury Retrograde Cycle from April 21 to May 14, 2023:
- Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow) on April 7, 2023, at 5° Taurus 51′
- Mercury stations and turns retrograde on April 21, 2023, at 15° Taurus 37′ Rx
- Mercury stations and turns direct on May 14, 2023, at 5° Taurus 51”D
- Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone (post-retrograde shadow) on May 31, 2023, at 15° Taurus 37′
The year 2023’s second retrograde Mercury cycle occurs from April 21st to May14th. Mercury’s shadow period begins on April 7th and ends on May 31st. Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde. The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly.
Note that Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.
Also note that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy.
Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.
Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.
While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering. In Taurus this time, we’re reviewing our projects, finances, and systems of comfort and security. We may be questioning our values or resources. We see certain projects, items, and even people in new ways, in terms of value and worth, and may see value in a old pursuit.
While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Taurus, things can seem particularly slow. We might review and reassess our comfort levels, sense of security, finances, personal income, and valuables. There can be delays and information clogs.

Pluto turns retrograde at 0° Aquarius 22′. Pluto is retrograde every year for over five months. In 2023, Pluto is retrograde from May 1st to October 10th.
- May 1, 2023, Pluto stations and turns retrograde at 0° Aquarius 22′ Rx
- October 10, 2023, Pluto stations and turns direct at 27° Capricorn 53′
Pluto stations and turns retrograde today and will be retrograde until October 10th. This shift of direction tends to bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may be reassessing how we use our power.
Pluto begins its retrograde early in the sign of Aquarius (Pluto first entered Aquarius on March 23rd, 2023), but returns to Capricorn in retrograde motion on June 11th, 2023.

Venus enters Cancer
Venus is in Cancer from May 7th to June 5th, 2023.
In Cancer, Venus is nurturing, protective and self-protective, cautious, and fertile. We experience many emotional ups and downs in love under this influence due to our increased sensitivity and impressionability. We are tender, romantic, and attached. We could be clingy or sulky during this period.
Cancer love is dedicated, warm, and devoted. We show our love through our devotion, care, and concern. We are affectionate and cuddly, and are at our best when we feel safe and secure. We also want to make our loved ones feel safe and comfortable.
It’s a good cycle for collecting and money related to real estate, accommodation, food, coins, silver, or antiques. We enjoy homey, familiar pastimes and art and simple pleasures.
Cautious with our feelings, we are not always confident about boldly trying or sharing new things during this cycle. However, we do whatever we can to make our loved ones feel special. Our memories are long, and we can be very sentimental.

Details
Jupiter enters Taurus
Jupiter is in Taurus from May 16, 2023 to May 25, 2024.
Jupiter spends a little over a year in the sign of Taurus.
Jupiter in Taurus brings opportunities related to patience, building and strengthening efforts, and focusing on comfort, stability, and longevity.
With an Earth sign Jupiter, we are practical realists who need to visualize results in order to feel motivated to achieve them. We are “doers” who are not easily lured by get rich quick schemes! During this cycle, we are not risk takers–we need direction, clear goals, and strong plans, and we value tangible results.
More specifically with Jupiter in Taurus, we attract the most good fortune when we are steady workers, charitable, generous but discriminating, and patient. Prosperous areas are ones that allow us to discriminate and determine the worth of products and to draw upon our resourcefulness. Long-term financial investments are in favor. A strong self-image or feelings of self-worth contribute to success.
There can be a delight for sensual pleasures and a desire for the “simple good life” with Jupiter in Taurus. In contrast to the urgency of the previous Jupiter cycle while Jupiter was in Aries, we can take pleasure now in pursuing our goals in a more drawn out and leisurely fashion, watching our profits or possessions slowly but surely accumulate. Basic needs have to be met satisfyingly before we pursue other goals.
We attract the most good fortune when we observe wisely rather than jump too quickly into something new. Considering long-term viability and value is wise while Jupiter transits Taurus.
Jupiter’s zeal can supersede moderation at times. It can expand the more negative qualities of a sign, just as it can expand the positive traits. Its zeal and enthusiasm is well-intentioned, but it can blind us to our immoderate behavior. In Taurus, negative manifestations include over-indulgence in pleasures and comforts, a too narrow focus, inattention to more spiritual goals, a “wait and see” attitude that if taken too far can lead to inertia, and a lack of objectivity. We can be particularly conservative or stubborn with our opinions and beliefs.
However, the higher vibration of Jupiter looks for perspective. Jupiter’s perspective isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture”. With Jupiter, ideally, we are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like.
Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your joy at this stage in your development.
There can be some good fortune or experiences surrounding money, gifts, or personal possessions due to improved resourcefulness. Investments may pay off, or we may realize property gains. Fields that prosper include agriculture, food, building, music, luxury comfort items, and natural or earthy beauty products. Work that involves steadily building something, conservative moves, and some routine can be most attractive or profitable.
With Jupiter in Taurus, we prefer learning programs with a focus on practical values or hands-on learning experiences and practical applications. Belief systems that make sense or emphasize logic and common sense are more attractive.
We begin to value the world of the five senses, comfort, nature, and steadiness more than usual. Building our self-worth contributes significantly to success. We may enjoy collecting and building things. Possessions can be our comfort or pleasure zone, which can lead to having too much or an unhealthy focus on material things or the joy of buying.
In Taurus, Jupiter urges us to enjoy, appreciate, and build on what we already have, and to adopt a patient approach to achieving our goals.
The last time Jupiter transited Taurus was from June 4th, 2011, until June 11th, 2012. See also Jupiter transits Taurus.

Details
Jupiter square Pluto
Jupiter, freshly in the sign of Taurus, and at 0° Taurus 18′, forms a square to Pluto at 0° Aquarius 18′ on May 17, 2023. This is a one-off transit (it doesn’t repeat two more times as many outer-planet transits do).
With Jupiter forming a square to Pluto, we can be quite ambitious now, feeling that we can achieve virtually anything we choose to do. However, while it may not come naturally, treading lightly now is advised as it is easy to stir up opposition.
We may take on too many interests, activities, or desires under this influence. Exaggerating our importance or power, either to ourselves or others, should be avoided.
Our belief system could be challenged, and the need for a major attitude change arises. Instead, we might have to face narrow-mindedness in others (or in ourselves). Trying to force our beliefs on others will only lead to frustration. The tendency now is to push too hard in general and to ignore the critical details. Thinking in big terms is fine, as long as we also consider the practical elements of any pursuit. Expecting too much, too soon can unnecessarily bring us down.
Certainly, a serious attitude towards our goals and ambitions can emerge. Competitive energies should be channeled appropriately since the main downfall of this period is pushing too far. Our perspective on our lives or the world can change dramatically at this time. As well, what we need for personal growth may not mesh well with our current career, projects, or endeavors, and satisfaction levels suffer. While it may not come very naturally now, it’s better to aim to share the power or resources rather than aiming to amass more.
There can be difficulties with legal, tax, insurance, publishing, educational, or travel matters at this time. Different outlooks and beliefs can cause deeper divides than usual. We might have conflicts with others that lead to reputation problems. The desire to lead or guide can be strong, but cynicism can get in the way of this urge. Mistrust and cynicism with current systems and structures is likely.
Dangers with this combination include self-importance, obsession, and never really feeling content or satisfied. While pushing ourselves to greater heights can be useful, there’s a tendency to never really be happy with our endeavors, no matter what we’ve achieved–and attitude that can work against us.

Mars enters Leo
Mars is in Leo from May 20-July 10, 2023.
In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have grand goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and take the least complicated route to our goals. The sex drive is strong, and passion for life is high.
Mars in Leo can awaken a competitive spirit or drive. We’re more willing to take risks to get what we want. We also tend to make a splash, and we want to be in the driver’s seat. This transit is passionate, ardent, and dramatic. We seek to appear strong and prefer to be in the lead or the center of attention. We can be particularly angry if we feel disrespected or in an undignified position.

Sun enters Gemini
Sun is in Gemini from May 21-June 21, 2023.
Knowledge and diversity motivate us with the Sun in Gemini. We are more sociable, intellectual, and insatiably curious under this influence. We tend to scatter our energies due to this curiosity and awareness of all of our options. We are more communicative and versatile, but we can also be unreliable.
Gemini represents duality and mediation. Gemini’s energy is intelligent, optimistic, observant, and adaptable. It’s skeptical, ready to consider alternate ways of thinking. We’re prepared to trade, share, exchange, pass on news, teach, guide, and learn.
We gather information during the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, and we benefit from this transit’s objectivity. We’re quick-witted, cheerful, engaging, and we easily adapt, observe, and listen–it’s a clever and crafty influence.
On the downside, we can be gossipy, overly intellectual, or too rational when a softer touch would be more appropriate. As we relay and process information, we could be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts.
