(March 21 - April 19) ARIES
The new year will bring forth resolutions around your career path and drive for success, dear Aries, because four celestial bodies are moving through Capricorn and the sector of your chart that governs professional ambitions. However, with Mercury traveling backward through the skies, it might not hurt to look to past successes in order to formulate a plan for how to move forward. Meanwhile, Venus enters Aquarius on January 2, making it a great time to share ideas, call in favors, and lean in to your network of occupational support. The Cancer full moon on the sixth peels back the layers to reveal your softer side as the stars encourage you to nurture your nearest and dearest. Filling your space with the scent of home-cooked food and the sound of laughter will be particularly fulfilling as the energy at play brings out the homebody within. This cosmic climate also accentuates the importance of maintaining a healthy work/life balance, so don’t hold back if you feel like planning your next vacation or indulging in a little staycation.

LEO
Your New Year’s resolutions should be motivated by improving your health and wellness, dear Leo, because four celestial bodies are traveling through your solar sixth house. Whether you need to drink less caffeine, get better sleep, or carve out more time for relaxation, now is the time to figure out how these changes fit into your daily routine. This is the most supportive time of the year for you when it comes to altering your habits, making it important that you analyze your lifestyle in the name of elevating your efficiency, organizational skills, and overall well-being. Mark January 12 on your calendar as a day to celebrate, because it’s when Mars ends its retrograde through Gemini and the sector of your chart that governs community. You should start to see improvements in your neighborhood going forward, though pitching in to make your area a better place can help speed up this process. New dining and shopping establishments are also likely to pop up, so be sure to support local and blossoming businesses. A harmonious yet cheeky vibe permeates the air beginning when the sun enters Aquarius and the sector of your chart that governs love on the twentieth. If you’re currently single and on the hunt for companionship, now would be a good time to revise your dating profiles or ask a friend to set you up. Signing up for classes or joining a special interest group can also lead to new connections, while getting out into the world will allow you to find grace and support in unexpected places. (November 22 - December)
SAGITTARIUS
You’ll feel inspired to set financial resolutions for yourself in 2023, dear Sagittarius, because four celestial bodies are traveling through the sector of your chart that governs money and materialism. These vibes are perfect for investing in yourself and opting to purchase fewer yet nicer things in the coming year as the stars make an effort to refine your taste in clothing, appliances, food, and cosmetics. Luckily, as long as you stay dedicated to achieving success, you should have plenty of income to work with. With Mercury and Mars both retrograde in our skies, there’s a possibility that your sense of security in matters of love and money has been challenged recently. Luckily, passion can regain traction in your romantic life beginning when Mars ends its reversal through Gemini on January 12. Prepare to get your flirt on in the coming weeks, but try not to rush into a new relationship simply to end a dry spell. Good vibes continue to flow when Mercury heads direct on the eighteenth, helping you take a more pragmatic and organized approach to balancing your budget and padding your bank account.

(April 20 - May 20) TAURUS
Good vibes will usher you into the new year, dear Taurus, because four celestial bodies are traveling through Capricorn and the sector of your chart that governs spirituality. This cosmic climate is poised to elevate your intuition and luck, making it a great time to focus on manifesting your hopes and dreams. Unfortunately, with Mercury in the midst of its retrograde motion, decoding messages from beyond the veil could feel more complicated than usual, making it important that you maintain a healthy sense of reality while moving through this dreamy and supportive energy. Your career ambitions will also benefit from some celestial aid as Venus moves into Aquarius and your solar tenth house on January 2. This planetary placement brings a magnetism to your professional persona, giving you a chance to charm your colleagues and superiors. The energy at play also encourages you to help others make headway on their own journeys, so it’s important that you offer a leg up to your peers whenever the opportunity arises. The more you invest in the happiness of your coworkers and friends, the more you will thrive moving forward. (August 23 - September)
VIRGO
Give yourself permission to get a little creative with your New Year’s resolutions, dear Virgo, because four celestial bodies are moving through Capricorn and your solar fifth house. Even if you are typically one of the more reserved members of the zodiac, this cosmic climate is all about having fun, enjoying life, and leading with an open heart. Your artistic abilities and social skills can also benefit from a significant boost, and an extroverted disposition will suddenly wash over you, allowing you to forge new bonds. However, you should be mindful to nurture your existing friendships as well, especially when it comes to your siblings and best buds. You’ll notice that you’re in a position of power when the sun cozies up to Pluto on January 18, making it an ideal time to throw your weight around a bit.

Use this energy to bulldoze through obstacles that have held you back from your goals, and allow this newfound sense of confidence to lead you toward a better tomorrow. However, your aura might be a little intense for some, so it’s important that you be mindful of others during each interaction. (December 22 - January 19)
CAPRICORN
You should feel secure and confident in your path as the new year rolls in, dear Capricorn, because the sun, Mercury, Pluto, and Venus are all traveling through your sign. These vibes can push you to embrace transformation before Pluto leaves your sign this spring, so be sure to take a proactive approach toward the changes you seek. Luckily, an increase in your popularity can make it easier to find new opportunities, because people are more willing to open doors and give you a leg up. The Cancer full moon on January 6 acts as one of the most romantic yet emotionally charged evenings of the year for you, making it important that you strive to maintain balance within yourself and your most valued partnerships. If you’re in a relationship, use this energy as an excuse to embrace luxury and self-care with your sweetie, choosing to take on 2023 from a place of calm and relaxation. If you’re currently flying solo, the energy at play is perfect for updating your cosmetics, especially if your beauty routine has gotten a touch boring.

(May 21 - June 20) GEMINI
You’ll feel galvanized by the idea of transforming your life as the new year kicks off, dear Gemini, thanks to a series of celestial bodies traveling through Capricorn and your solar eighth house. This cosmic climate has a destructive yet cleansing energy, providing you with an opportunity to unapologetically cut ties with anyone or anything that is no longer serving you. Don’t feel bad about implementing strict boundaries, blocking old flames, and removing yourself from unhealthy situations, because doing so will provide you with a great sense of relief and the freedom to move forward unhindered by these sources of drama. Though the retrograde journey of Mars through your sign might have left you feeling tired, out of sorts, and more temperamental over the last two and a half months, you’ll have a chance to reclaim your groove when this passionate planet heads direct on January 12. The changing of these cosmic winds can help you become more excited about the future, allowing you to reconnect with your motivation and that which inspires you. Though your gut might tell you it’s time to move full speed ahead with your goals, it might be wiser to proceed with caution, because the funky vibes of this planetary backspin will linger until March 15.

LIBRA
Plan on structuring your New Year’s resolutions around healing, dear Libra, because four celestial bodies are moving through Capricorn and your solar fourth house. Though these vibes might inspire you to nurture others, your energy would be better spent catering to your own emotional, mental, and physical needs. A desire to move slowly and lounge at home could also come into play, and you’ll want to listen to your body when it tells you that it’s time to lay low. There’s also a good chance that your mood will fluctuate, shifting from closed off and desensitized to emotionally charged and full of gratitude. Give yourself permission to ride these waves, and try not to get upset by how others are feeling. A rush of auspicious energy finds you when Mars ends its retrograde journey through the sector of your chart that governs spirituality on January 12.

AQUARIUS
Though the emergence of a new year typically conjures images of large parties, bottles of bubbly, and people celebrating, you might not be in the most extroverted mood with four celestial bodies traveling through your solar twelfth house. That’s right, dear Aquarius, 2023 threatens to kick off with you stuck in a bit of rut, potentially causing you to slip into hermit mode. Luckily, the stars support your desire for solitude, especially once Venus moves into your sign on January 2, encouraging you to prioritize self-care, restoration, and grace through the coming weeks. Luckily, you’ll feel inspired to stick your toe back into the social pool beginning when Mars ends its retrograde reign of terror through Gemini on the twelfth. This planetary backspin likely left you feeling moody, tired, and uninspired during the past two and a half months, though these symptoms will begin to dissipate moving forward.

This solar placement helps you reconnect with your identity and sense of self just in time to carry on with your solar return festivities. The Aquarius new moon the next day ushers in an abundance of supportive energy from beyond the veil, so be sure to set meaningful intentions for how you’d like to grow through the next year. Meanwhile, Venus moves into Pisces on the twenty-sixth, elevating your ability to manifest your wildest dreams into reality.
(June 21 - July 22) CANCER
Love will be at the forefront of your mind as the new year kicks off, dear Cancer, because four celestial bodies are moving through the sector of your chart that governs matters of the heart. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, you might want to consider setting resolutions around how to nurture healthy and supportive partnerships moving forward. However, these sentiments apply to all of your closest bonds, whether romantic or platonic. You’ll feel a surge of cosmic energy surrounding you during the full moon in your sign on January 6. You can expect to feel more open-hearted and sensitive than usual, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your situation. Take note of anyone or anything that drags your vibe down during this time, because it could be a nudge from the Universe that it’s time to move on to greener pastures. When all is said and done, this luminary event is all about prioritizing your needs. The vibe shifts when the sun enters Aquarius and the sector of your chart that governs transformation on the twentieth. If the full moon gave you insight on how your life needs to evolve, this solar placement provides you with the energy and motivation to make these changes happen. (October 23 - November)
SCORPIO
People are drawn to your sage advice and emotional depth right now, dear Scorpio, because four celestial bodies are moving through sensible Capricorn and the sector of your chart that governs communication. Though the new year tends to bring out anxieties and excitement in the collective, try not to overextend yourself with emotional heavy lifting for anyone who wouldn’t do the same for you. On a personal level, these vibes are great for massaging that brilliant mind of yours, so you might want to set resolutions around learning a new skill or reading more. The Cancer full moon on January 6 acts as one of the most magical nights of the year for you, because Lady Luna shines brightly in the spiritual sector of your chart. Use this energy to connect with the other side, taking special note of any strange dreams, signs, or synchronicities that find you during this time. Tapping in to your gratitude can also help you usher in new rewards, so be sure to let the other side know how much you appreciate your blessings. If you’ve found yourself in a funk during the last two and a half months, the fog can begin to lift when Mars ends its retrograde journey through Gemini on the twelfth. Use the momentum of this planetary shift to get serious about your personal evolution and the doors will begin to open. You’ll notice a shift once Aquarius season manifests on January 20, pushing you to nurture your most valued relationships while investing in the aesthetic and comfort of your home. (February 19 - March 20)
PISCES
You might begin to feel as though you’re the center of your social circle, dear Pisces, because four celestial bodies are moving through the sector of your chart that governs community. Organizing large gatherings and giving back to your community can be particularly satisfying as the stars push you to bring people together. While this cosmic climate is poised to elevate your popularity, you might begin to feel overly responsible for the wellbeing of those around you. Use these vibes to your advantage by making new connections and looking for ways to improve your social standing, but avoid taking on more emotional labor than you can handle. If your home life has felt more tense or disorganized through the last two and a half months, reprieve comes when Mars ends its retrograde journey through Gemini on January 12. This celestial shift can inspire you to regain control of your domestic life, making it a great time to tidy up and bless your space. The overall vibe in your home is also poised to improve, defusing any tension that might have built up between you and any housemates recently.

This luminary placement activates the sector of your chart that governs introspection, asking you to embrace solitude and examine your situation.
