You’re Getting Wiser This Year
Saturn is moving through visionary Aquarius, urging us to be more responsible and to dismantle and re-write rules we no longer respect. Saturn will begin a new journey in 2023 when it enters sensitive Pisces on March 7. This huge cosmic shift will last until May 25, 2025! Saturn is the planet of karma, restriction, and boundaries. Pisces energy is spiritual, emotional, and understanding of multiple truths.
On a personal level, you may have a stronger reaction to hardships during Saturn’s journey through Pisces. This won’t result in outbursts, but more emotional challenges you have to confront. You may turn to your faith to understand what’s happening in the world and find strength through detachment from what society tells you to feel. You will gain immense wisdom from time spent in solitude, quiet reflection, or through mindfulness and spiritual practice.
A Revolution Is Coming
Pluto is on the move! In 2023, we will experience a preview of upcoming global shifts and collective transformations that will impact us from 2023 to 2044. Pluto — our planet of transformation, upheaval, and manipulation — shifts into liberated Aquarius on March 23. Pluto in Aquarius coincides with groundbreaking changes in science, technology, activism, and social media. However, Pluto retrograde begins on May 1, causing the planet's retreat into Capricorn on June 11. Pluto remains in Capricorn for the rest of the year, so this energetic shift may be brief, but it will certainly give us more collective changes to look forward to.
From March 23 to May 1, expect a preview of the restructuring of power dynamics in society. Collectively, we will feel more empowered to influence changes over the systems and authority figures who have governed over us. Rapid advancements in technology will fuel the increased use, acceptance of, or opposition to artificial intelligence. Progressively, we are moving toward a more digitized way of being. Increasing conversations around data protection, social justice, and the turbulence of this collective transition marks the beginning of a period of intense reclamation and search for freedom.
Your Manifestations Will Be Magnetic
Jupiter begins the year in go-getter Aries until May 16, when Jupiter enters luxurious Taurus. Jupiter is our ruler of philosophy, luck, and expansion. Taurean energy is sensual, determined, and sustainable. Expect to cultivate practical and long-standing plans that increase the likelihood of achieving your material and financial ambitions. You may face obstacles that force you to consider if your motivations and desires are healthy or a deeper reflection of greed, materialism, and over-indulgence.
The road to success is slower with Jupiter in Taurus, but your short-term milestones will feel twice as rewarding. Have fun and enjoy working toward your goals. You may feel more stubborn from May 2023, especially concerning your morals, philosophy, and spirituality. Stay true to your beliefs without becoming dogmatic or overly rigid in your perspective and stance. Prepare to interact with more narrow-minded people. It may be easier to accept them as they are than force them to adapt their point of view.
A New Eclipse Cycle Begins
April 20 initiates a new eclipse cycle that encourages your growth, healing, and spiritual evolution over the next year and a half. Over the past year, the eclipses have aligned in the fixed signs, Taurus and Scorpio, bringing karmic lessons, tests, and opportunities to work through your physical and emotional attachments. However, this new cycle of eclipses activates the Aries and Libra zodiac signs. Navigate the line between independence and interdependence; peace and people-pleasing. The cardinal nature of this season’s eclipses signifies a new spark of activity and the return of your self-assertiveness.
