Your 2023 Career Horoscope, According To Your Zodiac Sign

There will always be a series of astrological shifts and transits that supercharge certain areas of your life, but in the end, it’s up to you to harness the energy wisely. And if you’re planning to work diligently towards your long-term goals next year, you’ll want to pay attention to your 10th house (aka the midheaven) as you’re reading your 2023 career horoscope.

It’s not only the most visible area of your chart, but it’s also the house that determines how successful you'll be in your career. And for those of you already familiar with chart-mapping, it wouldn’t hurt to find the midheaven’s ruler, (e.g., if it’s Cancer, then the ruler is the moon; if it’s Libra or Taurus, then it’s Venus) in case there are significant aspects being made to this planet.

The same goes for your sixth house, as it has everything to do with your daily rituals, routines, and devotions. So, despite whether you’re an entrepreneur or work a 9 to 5, your more mundane routines will always fall into your sixth house of due diligence.
