2023 – Leo
Solar Eclipses/ The Nodes: For your sign: The zones of travel, education, networking, legal matters and extended family members are being energized for you and you may discover you have more to learn than you thought. These are mind expanding zones, which open us up to new ideas and truths, which profoundly impact our evolving self. In fact what you learn may stay with you for the rest of your life. For all signs: The underlying drive to form balanced relationships hinges on financial considerations. This is due to Lunar Eclipses in the signs of money, Taurus and Scorpio.
Saturn: Saturn enters your 8th house of money matters, but not money tied to your income. Rather jointly shared money, estate matters, banks via mortgages, etc. As time proceeds there may be a need to re-arrange the budget in order to have the needed funds. Changes in your partners income is possible, and before thinking the worst, keep in mind that you will get through this period and likely come out ahead.
Jupiter: Jupiter energizes the zones of travel, legal matters, education and extended family members, as well as your career. You could have a great year professionally, so seek out opportunities if needed. It’s your time to shine!
Retrograde Mars: The zone of friends and socializing gets activated, and in the years ahead you could be quite popular and the hit of the party. A friend may be crucial in connecting you with a desired goal, or vice versa. Friends are friends, in good times and bad, so be there for them if needed. On a different note, a long held distant dream could come into being over the next 2 years.
Retrograde Venus: Aren’t you looking good? Although the retrograde period can be thorny for all people, the lasting effects are most noticeable for you. Love may find the single signs, and lavish gifts/purchases may find others. It’s time to have some fun, but first make sure you look good because the saying goes “you only have one chance to make a good impression”. Knock then out!
Leo New Moon: takes place on August 16th and marks your “New Year’s Day” in astrological terms. You should start feeling more like your robust self, full of drive and passion to get something started. Although New Moons have a cyclic 19 year pattern, they don’t necessarily activate planets at each successive 19 year, thus making each New Moon special in its own way. Leo Full Moon: takes place on January 25th, and lasts approximately 3 days. With a contact between Pluto, Jupiter and the Full Moon emotions could run high, for good or bad. Jupiter’s presence suggests a good outcome, although for some it could take a situation and magnify it 100 fold.
It’s a “New” year and this typically means a year for new beginnings, ventures and lots of energy. This is not couch potato energy either, as there are times when lots of things are happening at once. Everything that ever was or is starts with a new beginning, and this is the year for you.
Special message for your sign: The realm of relationships gets the spotlight, and much depends on whether you’re single or committed. For those in partnerships, the focus shifts to them. With each situation so vastly different, just focus on the partner and the idea of profound endings or new beginnings. If single then someone new is on the horizon.
The sun sign forecasts are generic in nature and may not apply to everyone as described. They are meant to highlight certain energies that are general in nature; however their impact may differ based on your unique birth chart. These forecasts are intended to “clue you in” to the planetary energies, so that you are better prepared to make the most of them when they arrive. Conversely you can avoid disappointment and aggravation knowing what planet is doing what thing and at what particular time. Your unique birth chart depicts where the planets were located depending on the date, place and time (if known). This blueprint provides insights into your nature, your preferences and what you’re seeking as a soul. With each of us on different paths, with different lessons to learn, any tool that helps us on that journey is a tool worth using. May you speak your truth, walk your talk and enjoy the journey!
