What to expect in 2023, according to your horoscope
Horoscopes 2023 are here, so get ready to reassess every area of your life based on your star sign – relationships, health and career.
Seeing everyone for who they really are, plus everything for what it really is, will figure throughout the year.
It will be a time where we experience humanity doing an about-face to start treating others the way they’d like to be treated.
We are well and truly overdue for prosperity and fairness for the good of all to be activated on the planet.
It’s time for struggle to cease and fairness to abound.
It will be a year where the energies will see everyone held accountable.
However, it would be remiss not to mention those Mercury retrogrades that people get so concerned about.
I, for one, always look at the positives – retrogrades are also a great time to step back and reassess everything before moving forward.
Here’s to an amazing year!
Aries
March 21-April 19
It will be an active year of change as planet Jupiter (expansion and opportunity) continues its transit through your sign until May 16.
By applying its energy during that time, your creativity or ideas relating to new projects will have ongoing beneficial results – however, beware of scattered energy if you’re not focused.
Relationships
Make sure you stay grounded emotionally from February 20 to March 18 when planet Venus visits your sign.
Focusing your energy on what you want and doing whatever is required to create harmony will pave the way for how the rest of the year will pan out concerning all relationships.
Career and money
Focus on what you want to manifest in these areas of your life.
Money will take on a whole new meaning, and you won’t regret channelling your energies into ideas that arise from March 19 to April 3 while planet Mercury (mind) and Sun (identity) visit your sign.
In so doing, you will set yourself up for some pretty exciting times.
Health
Holding on to past grievances will create health problems for you this year, so it’s important to deal with whatever ails you – to release and let it all go.
Turning your back on – and walking away from – whatever (or whomever) doesn’t work will be important.
In doing so, you’ll experience improved health as you (not your emotions) will be in control of what you eat.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
This will be an extremely progressive year, especially from May 17 as Jupiter (expansion and opportunity) settles in to take you on a very exciting journey.
As new ideas come your way from April 4 until June 10, you can expect a lot more freedom, presenting you with a greater feeling of independence.
Relationships
As planet Venus activates its energy from March 17 to April 10, it will be decision time – but don’t expect everyone to be happy with your choices or decisions.
You’ll find your patience tested all year, so try to be as calm and grounded as possible, as this will create the best possible outcomes.
Career and money
Expect change as new ideas arise from April 4 to June 10.
Listening to and trusting your gut feelings all year will be extremely important.
Some of you may decide to pack your bags and try something new.
However, make sure it is you that makes the decision, not another – never hand away your power.
Health
You will have an erratic energy activated around your health this year, so be aware of how you feel about any treatment or diet you are advised to follow.
No one knows your body better than you do so if something doesn’t feel right, you need to trust yourself over an outside opinion.

Gemini
May 21-June 20
Okay, Gemini, it’s action time from January 1 to March 24.
Overcoming any obstacles during this time will create the path you’ll travel for the rest of the year.
There is a lot of positivity indicated – just make sure you keep on top of personal issues, and don’t allow outside influences to distract you.
Relationships
April 11 to May 7 will be a positive time to take relationships to a new level.
Saying everything as it is, instead of what you think others want to hear, will see you feeling happier, with a clearer state of mind.
Towards the end of the year, expect your focus to be on where you live and who you have in your life.
Career and money
You’ll experience some full-on energy until March 24.
Keep an eye on your need to control others; focusing your energy on what you are doing (not others) will be your recipe for success this year.
Ego will stop you from creating the success you wish to manifest.
A change of career may be worth considering.
Health
It’s always your nervous system that creates havoc for you; however, you need to ask yourself why.
Time to take it into consideration instead of always pushing yourself to do more.
Breaking from past restrictions will bring more balance, supporting you to connect with your inner self rather than living at 100km/h.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Late March to late May will be a time of change in all areas of your life.
If you’re wanting to leave things behind that no longer work, then that would be the best time to take action.
Being the year of personal growth, 2023 will force you to do some deep soul-searching.
Relationships
Expect an interesting time romantically from May 8 to June 5 when planet Venus brings its energy your way.
Keeping yourself emotionally grounded will be important, otherwise you’ll find yourself in a powerplay situation – so be warned.
Trusting your gut feelings will protect you from being used and allowing manipulative, controlling people into your life.
Career and money
New career opportunities, or being in the right place at the right time, figure from March 25 to May 20 as planet Mars (career, energy direction) visits your life.
Make sure you get out and about as contacts will play an important role in success this year.
It will be important to keep an eye on your outgoings.
Health
Out of all of the signs, it is your emotions that play real havoc with your health.
Times to be positive and take care of yourself will be March 29-30, April 25-26, May 23-24 and July 16-17.
Finding the right diet will be important this year as regeneration is indicated.
Leo

Reaping the benefits of last year’s hard work will make for a very happy you.
If everything you say and do comes from total integrity, this year will find you kicking goals.
Relationships

Being thoughtful will benefit you in more ways than one.
Career and money
Ideas abound from July 11-28.
Anything to do with making the world a better place this year will bring more success than what you hope for in other areas.
Getting out and about will find you meeting the right people at the right time.
Being humble will see you creating amazing support.
Health
Mental dilemmas will create havoc from July 11-28, so make sure you apply a practical approach to all you do, or your health will suffer.
Any dissatisfaction felt in 2023 will be caused by you not listening.
It’s important to remember that no matter how busy you make your life, you can never lie or hide from yourself.

Relationships
Brooding over what has been will get you nowhere.
