Your 2023 Yearly Horoscope, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
There’s so much to discover in the near future.
2023 isn’t going to be an ordinary year. Between Saturn entering Pisces for the first time since 1996, and fellow generational or outer planet Pluto entering Aquarius after spending 15 years in Capricorn, things are about to be shaken up in major ways — and that’s just in the first quarter of the year. The good thing is, your 2023 yearly horoscope is here to provide you with all the necessary cosmic info to help you discover, digest, and delve deeper.
The second quarter of the year is equally action-packed, with a solar eclipse in April, followed by a lunar eclipse in May. Then there’s the North Node entering Aries in the third quarter, which will shift everyone’s — especially cardinal signs’ (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) — focus from stability and security to independence and individual autonomy. Before 2023 comes to a close, however, there will be a solar eclipse, and *two* lunar eclipses, just in time for the season of destruction and rebirth, Scorpio.
Since this barely scratches the surface of the astrology of the next 12 months, here’s what you can expect in 2023, along with the most important dates for your specific sun and rising signs:
Aries 2023 Yearly Horoscope:
2023 will be a year of expansion, opportunity, and self-development for you, Aries. In addition to larger-than-life Jupiter glimmering through your sign for more than half the year, taskmaster Saturn will slip into Pisces in March — via your 12th house of healing, privacy, and spirituality — where it will remain for the next two years.
That same month, Pluto will enter Aquarius after wrapping up a 15-year(!) cycle of intensity and empowerment in your career. During this time, you will see a predominant shift in your social networks, friendship groups, and sense of belonging in the world. Some of you may even go as far as taking the role of an influential leader, instigating changes in your surroundings. But given Pluto’s slow-moving pace, you will likely feel the effects of this shift throughout the next two years. This will be a time of deep reflection, introspection, and self-discovery, so surrender to the journey.
Most Important Astrological Dates In 2023 For Aries:
- Jan. 12: Your celestial ruler, Mars, ends its retrograde cycle, reenergizing you and bringing you back to speed.
- Feb. 20: Venus enters Aries, making you more attractive, charming, and artistically inclined.
- March 19-21: Mercury enters Aries, handing you the cosmic megaphone just in time for your solar season and a new moon in your sign.
- April 20: There’s a new moon solar eclipse in Aries, kicking off an eclipse series that’ll bring significant changes to your sense of self and how you show up in your relationships.
- July 17: The North Node enters Aries, moving you toward independence and away from people-pleasing and societal expectations.
- Sept. 29: A full moon in Aries lights the night sky, illuminating a full-circle moment in your personal life.
Taurus 2023 Yearly Horoscope:
You have so, so much to look forward to, Taurus. With Saturn entering Pisces (your socially conscious 11th house) in March, there will be greater focus on your role in society, which will challenge you to hold yourself accountable for the way you've been living. Two months later, lucky Jupiter will pay a visit to your sign, just in time for your solar season. It’ll be up to you to make the practical efforts needed in order to make something grow.
Pluto will also be entering Aquarius — your 10th house of authority — bringing transformative shifts to everything from your professional occupation to your reputation in the world. This kicks off a 15-year cycle of transformation, but with polarizing Pluto being in the most visible area of your chart, the shadow side of your sense of authority will be brought to the forefront. Pluto destroys what’s no longer in alignment with your soul path, which can be incredibly empowering. Meanwhile, Uranus — planet of the higher mind — will remain active in your sign, helping you step into a whole new realm of possibility.
Most Important Astrological Dates In 2023 For Taurus:
- March 16: Luscious Venus returns to your sign, bringing emphasis to your beauty and sensual delights.
- April 3 and April 21: Mercury enters your sign, activating your throat chakra, while bringing focus to your immediate surroundings. It will station retrograde on April 21, which puts a pause on communication. Don’t permanently commit to anything until at least May 14.
- May 16 and 19: The moon will renew itself, kicking off a brand-new lunar cycle in your name, followed by Jupiter’s lucky debut in your sign.
- June 1: Bountiful Jupiter will join forces with the North Node, making it an auspicious day.
- July 22: Your celestial ruler, Venus, stations retrograde in Leo, which challenges you to take a closer look at your values, especially when it pertains to matters of the home.
- Sept. 3-4: Venus stations direct, bringing you back up to speed, but Jupiter stations retrograde in your sign the following day, encouraging you to reconnect with your spirituality and focus on the bigger picture.
- Oct. 28: A full moon lunar eclipse touches down on your sign, bringing forth a powerful full-circle moment in your personal life.
- Dec. 30: Jupiter stations direct in your sign, granting you the role of the celestial favorite for the next 13 months.
Gemini 2023 Yearly Horoscope:
If you feel the need to take a longer break before starting the new year strong, Mercury retrograde approves this message, Gemini. After all, your celestial ruler stations direct toward the middle of January, when lucky Jupiter will be transiting through Aries (your 11th house of society and friendship) and Taurus (your 12th house of healing and spirituality). While in Aries, you will be presented with the opportunity to reach for the stars and tend to your dreams, some of which you might've started cultivating last year. Once Jupiter slips into Taurus, however, you will likely feel inspired to go within.
Next, it's important to consider what happens when Saturn enters Pisces (your 10th house of reputation) in March, as it will bring discipline and structure, adding more responsibility to your plate. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with professional responsibilities, this is an opportunity for you to reevaluate everything that pertains to your life mission. Pluto's ingress into Aquarius at the end of March will catapult you into a brand-new dimension of growth, but this shift won’t become prominent until the next few years. Your desire for freedom could heighten tremendously, as will topics of religion as well as other worldly curiosities.
