There’s nothing like a new year to make you feel inspired all over again.
A new year brings with it hope, opportunity and my personal fave, infinite possibilities. It’s like the universe is giving us permission to start over and realise that our dreams really do matter. As an Astrologer I couldn’t be more excited about 2023. Not because I know we all need some fresh energy, especially after the last few years, but because I believe *Opportunities will exist everywhere!* It doesn’t mean 2023 will always be easy, instead treat it like your personal moment to begin afresh. You get to ask yourself, “who am I and who do I want to become?” and then work in alignment with your stars to cultivate your destiny!
If you love details and you’re curious about what the planets are actually up to, I’ll have a detailed update coming for you very soon. Read your Sun sign below and if you’re looking to go deeper, explore your Ascendant.
Aries
March 20 - April 19
Your Mantra
This year I’m cultivating a new sense of personal power. I have everything I need inside me to achieve my dreams. I am open to receive any and all new experiences because by doing so I can then choose the right destiny for me.
Opportunities
You’re not afraid to take a chance Aries, especially if it’s something you’re passionate about. However, have you been pursuing what you really want? In 2023 you’re getting a nudge from the stars to take a leap of faith. Fall in love with who you are and don’t be afraid to choose the path filled with heart-opening fulfilment.
Dreams & Desires
One word: satisfaction. Have you noticed a theme for this year, Aries? Every part of your Horoscope is pointing to satisfaction. How you experience it daily, and how you obtain more of it. You have a tendency to forge ahead, and this is what makes you incredibly dynamic. The caveat is, don’t move with haste, move with speed! Pay attention to the details, so you don’t miss the magic within the grey.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Your Mantra
This year I’m celebrating the person I’ve become. I’ve been taking big leaps towards my highest self and now it’s time to show the world, by taking a chance on me. I’m reaching for the stars and this is my moment to make this new beginning truly unforgettable.
Opportunities
You’re so incredibly dedicated Taurus, the one sign committed to reaching its manifestations and doing everything in your power to achieve them. The caveat is, what life area/s are you still seeking safety in? It’s time to leave your comfort zone behind in 2023. The stars are embodying the words of ABBA, so turn up the volume and say “take a chance on me”
Dreams & Desires
With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck journeying through your sign this year from May, you really can achieve anything you want. Cultivating a sense of self-belief and self-trust will help you acknowledge (and celebrate) how far you’ve actually come. Whatever direction your career or ambitions are going in, ask yourself, ‘is the direction I’m heading in still aligned to the person I’ve become?’
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Your Mantra
This year I’m choosing what I want, who I am, plus I get to decide the people who will be on this wild ride with me. I say ‘YES’ only to the things that light me up and this will allow me to be magnetic to my innermost desires.
Opportunities
You’re never far off a new idea Gemini, your superpower truly is your curious nature. The trick is what life area/s have become a distraction and are leaving you feeling empty rather than full? As this year begins, you're more contemplative and this is a good thing. Explore what you want your priorities to be in 2023 and start aligning to this dream destination.
Dreams & Desires
With Saturn, the planet of responsibility and time journeying through your career sector this year, this is an opportune time to pitch for what you want. No matter what stage of life you’re in, this is a major moment of recognition for you. The caveat is, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Sure, you’re a master of juggling but this year isn’t about that, it’s about what’s going to light you up from the inside out.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Your Mantra
This year I’m putting myself first, mind, body and spirit. I’m prioritising my health and happiness every step of the way and pursuing a life of abundance. Opportunities will present themselves at every twist and turn, and I’m going to intuitively know what is the right path for me.
Opportunities
You’re incredibly imaginative Cancer, in fact it’s your superpower. The question is, what’s your relationship like with your intuition and do you trust it? Making (the right) decisions based on your instinctive nature is paramount for you to move in the right direction in 2023. If you’ve experienced any indecision or uncertainty over the last couple of years, know the tides are turning towards decisiveness this year.
Dreams & Desires
With Mars, the planet of action and motivation moving into your sector of ‘self’ from March - May this year, this is an opportune time to focus on your personal desires. Prioritise your health and wellbeing, update your wardrobe and look for ways to put your best foot forward. By doing so you’ll gain an entirely new lease on life and it’s perfectly aligned to the expansion and opportunities already on their way to you.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Your Mantra
This year I’m not saying ‘YES’ to anything less than extraordinary. I’m worthy of receiving my wildest dreams and I’m going after them fearlessly. I surround myself with people who make me a priority and not an option, and when I do I feel love on an *out-of-this-world* level.
Opportunities
You wear your heart on your sleeve Leo and this is what makes you beam bright like the sun. Relationships have been in the spotlight since 2022 and there’s plenty more where that came from. The good news is, you get the power to choose who you want in your life in 2023 and remember not everyone is worthy of your magnificence. Widen your network of people this year and no doubt your life will be full of rich experiences.
Dreams & Desires
With Venus, the planet of love, money and beauty journeying through your sign longer than normal in 2023, your values and desires will take centre-stage. Expect between June and October to explore what area/s of your life provide you with mouth-watering satisfaction. You’ll also get a celestial nudge to check in on your finances this year, get curious about how you create and live a life full of abundance.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Your Mantra
This year I’m open to love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking love. I’m embracing my wants and needs and not being afraid to chase after them. I’m exploring the more vulnerable parts of myself, opening me up to receive a new level of magical commitments within my relationships.
Opportunities
You’re not one to shy away from hard work and ‘being of service’ Virgo, but the caveat is, what life area/s have you been neglecting and what support can you enlist to help you achieve greatness? In 2023 your relationships are in the spotlight in a big way! If you’re single don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and if you’re in a relationship, re-evaluate your commitments.
Dreams & Desires
With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck journeying through your sector of wisdom and adventure this year, you’ll receive an inspirational hit to live life to the full. If you’ve been wanting to learn something new, tick a dreamy destination off your bucket list or explore your more spiritual side, this is the year to do just that. Remember the world is your oyster and it’s full of possibilities waiting for you.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Your Mantra
This year I’m embodying pleasure in more ways than one. I’m uncovering how I can take care of the important people in my life whilst still prioritising and loving myself. I am going to have a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave what no longer serves me behind and this is going to support me in pursuing my destiny.
Opportunities
Libra, as much as you think you’re indecisive at times, it’s more likely that you’re striving for your own version of inner harmony. You’re always looking for the sweet spot between your personal needs and the needs of others. This year is going to be a dance and the exciting thing is it’s bound to be a ‘one-two-step’ in a new direction. The caveat is, what is it you really want and do you have the courage to go after it?
Dreams & Desires
With the karmic South Node, representing old patterns, comfort zones and even past life influences moving into your sign for 18 months beginning July 2023, it’s time to start thinking about your innermost desires. You’ll feel a push-pull between your future whilst also letting go of the past, so it’s important you pay attention to your heart as the year progresses. And if you do, you'll reach a turning point at this years’ annual Libra new moon 14 October.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Your Mantra
This year I’m igniting my innermost passions and prioritising joy and happiness every step of the way. I am proud of the person I’ve had to become and this year is my opportunity to start afresh. I acknowledge my personal power but the people I choose to surround myself with will only lift me higher.
Opportunities
Wow Scorpio, was 2022 a year or what? Let’s not sugar coat it, it’s been a lot. As much as you were ready to rise to the challenge, it’s just as important to acknowledge and celebrate how far you’ve come. I hope you’re proud! Your transformation isn’t done yet, but there’s light on the horizon. You’ll be ready to reveal a new version of you at this year's Scorpio full moon 5 May, so go out and show the world what you’re made of.
Dreams & Desires
With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck journeying through your sector of relationships in 2023, this area of your life gets a boost. You’ll be able to improve both your professional or personal partnerships, so make sure you’re surrounded by soul nourishing people, and you’re not afraid to lean on them to reach your dreams. You’re about to embark on big changes in the home front, so seek out stability at all costs.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Your Mantra
This year I’m going to find the sweet spot between work and play. I can have it all and live a full life but I’m choosing balance and fulfilment, so I can reach a greater sense of joy. I’m excited to try new things and expand my horizons as I work towards my greatest potential.
Opportunities
You really are the epitome of high-vibrational energy Sagittarius. You’re always living life to the fullest and encouraging others to do the same. The caveat this year is how you intentionally strike a balance. You’re about to unearth new ways of thinking, feeling and responding. Consider this your astrological invitation to contemplate more because when you do, you’ll reach an untouched level of wisdom.
Dreams & Desires
One word, alignment. This is your year to ensure that your internal world is reflected in your external world. How can you align your head vs heart? In 2023 you’ll be taking radical responsibility for your life and it’s important you don’t try to cut corners. The stars are nudging you towards honouring your time and energy, so don’t overcommit and instead invite *alignment* to light the path ahead.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Your Mantra
This year I am pursuing a new level of personal power. I am ready to challenge the choices I make to achieve a greater sense of satisfaction. By focusing on what’s important to me and putting myself first I will be stepping towards my life’s purpose and more importantly, mastery.
Opportunities
You’re not one to shy away from a challenge Capricorn, but did 2022 test your limits or what? Let’s be real, some days were an uphill battle but you’ve emerged into 2023 better than ever! Your sector of money and personal resources has been getting a workout the last couple of years and this continues (in a different way) next year. The caveat is pay attention to how you spend, earn and receive cash if you’re dreaming of a higher level of abundance.
Dreams & Desires
Pleasures, passions and creative pursuits are aroused in 2023, thanks to the planet of abundance, growth and expansion, Jupiter. The more you can walk away from ‘rigidly building structure’ and replace it with embracing serendipity, the more you’ll be surprised by what the world has in store for you. Seek out new experiences and follow any intuitive hunches because by doing so, you’ll never know where they’ll lead you next.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Your Mantra
This year I’m embarking on the most magical metamorphosis of my lifetime. I embrace a mind-blowing transformation and it's going to leave you breathless. Anything I can dream, I can achieve and in 2023 I’m getting a taste of what’s possible for my soul's evolution.
Opportunities
Nothing beats the eccentric, big thinking and quirky nature of you Aquarius. You’re motivated to leave the world a better place and there’s nothing uncool about that! This year begins a new cycle in your money sector instigated by the planet Saturn. When Saturn’s involved, responsibility takes centre-stage, so be on the lookout for how you spend, save and earn cash, so you can make better decisions towards a life of financial freedom.
Dreams & Desires
With Pluto, the planet of rebirth, empowerment and transformation entering your sign for the first time since the 18th century, anything truly is possible. Pay extra attention from March - June as this is when you’ll truly get a taste of what’s going to be in store for you from 2024 and beyond. Use 2023 as a springboard to help you step into the energy of your highest self.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Your Mantra
This year I’m working with my stars to manage my time, energy and greatest potential. I have everything inside me to succeed and I’m betting on me to achieve my greatest desires. I’m ready to get to work. Watch me take charge as I take your breath away.
Opportunities
Oh Pisces, you’ve had such a whirlwind of cosmic forces cheering you on of late. The stars aligned for you to truly shine. It was about time your caring and empathetic soul was in the spotlight. The caveat is, in 2023 it’s time to get to work! Saturn, ruler of time and discipline hasn’t journeyed through your sign for 28 years, and this year it’s about to do just that. Boundaries are beautiful, mastery is necessary and self-efficacy will be everything.
Dreams & Desires
With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck journeying through your sector of communication and community in 2023, this is an opportune time to tune into topics, conversation and ideas that light you up from the inside out. Prioritise ‘me’ time with books, podcasts, short courses or connecting with people close to home, as they’re bound to provide you with a fresh perspective and act as a source of motivation.
