Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:

January 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January 2023

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until January 19th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From January 20th forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Until January 2nd: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

From January 2-26: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

From January 27th forward: 

You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury is retrograde until January 18th (since December 29th): 

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.

Delays lift and information unclogs from January 18th forward.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

Occurring in your solar fourth house during this period, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.

Mars turns direct this month on the 12th. Confidence rebuilds and increases.

Overview Horoscope:

January 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:

January brings a continued focus on friends, group activities, collaboration, networking, or long-term projects, dear Pisces. It also introduces a new theme of rest, recuperation, and special attention to inner guidance. You do need to pay particular attention to managing your time effectively, however, with Mercury retrograde until the 18th and Mars until the 12th. Delays and backtracking can be part of the picture. Aim to take a break from too much action, pressure, and decision-making and focus on your happiness goals.

You’ll have plenty of time to rework your plans to your liking later, so do what you can to avoid stressing over details. Consider that when Mercury stations---around the 16-18--misunderstandings can magnify involving a friend, dream, or a plan, confusing all involved. After this time, you’ll likely be clearer about your goals, friendships, and alliances.

Significant ideas or conversations give you new insight into recent events, decisions, or problems around the 6-7, mainly related to friends and relationships or a plan or dream. The insight you gain now may be a little new or raw but it can help pave the road to new beginnings and attitudes. A conversation with someone from your past or feedback can help you get in touch with your relationship needs. The Full Moon on the 6th can bring a nice opportunity to follow your heart or finalize a creative project.

Mars turning direct on the 12th brings forward movement to money, gifts, bonuses, family, domestic matters, and personal talents. Ideally, delays in these areas in recent weeks lead to rerouting that helps you understand your situation and desires more clearly.

From the 12th, you have more emotional fuel for enjoying and pursuing your interests. While your personal life remains busy, it’s a straightforward kind of “busy” that you can handle. When problems exist, dealing with them is far easier when you know exactly what they are. Even further, a feeling of being in limbo or on the fence about matters lifts after the 19th. Information comes in that helps clarify things and move life forward.

The last week of January brings a more substantial need to withdraw, heal, and catch your breath. It's a period for wrapping up your solar year and making the most of solitude, reflection, and private time.

Still, you are well-positioned to both change and stabilize critical areas of your life, particularly emotions, debts, relationships, living conditions, and family. There can be excellent support at home or with family now. It's a great time to sort out your living arrangements and money situation. Home repairs, moves, or other domestic developments can figure strongly. Desires are more explicit, and you feel confident about new launches and new beginnings.
