Fasten your seatbelt, as we have arrived at one of the most pivotal months of 2023! In more ways than one, the astrology of March is about cutting ties with the past so we can begin moving into the future. March is the first of some pivotal months this year. For those who have been navigating life while anticipating and hoping for change to happen, March will more than likely be the month that begins this process as the pressure in one area of your life will begin to ease up.
Don’t fret if haven’t set your goals for the coming year yet. I myself, had a hard time motivating myself as well. However, now that we’ve crossed over to February, we have plenty of opportunities to get your 2023 groove on!
February begins with all planets moving direct. After the retrograde periods of Mars and Mercury which did help re-define our directives, we are officially ready to fly forward with greater confidence on our path. February’s astrological weather offers ample opportunities for courageous connection with our dreams, authentic self-expression, and romance.
As you enter 2023, take a moment to feel the energies around you! They could easily be described as “weird,” it is after all the beginning of a new year. However, something is preventing us from moving forward: a deep pull to the past. As we enter January, the Capricorn Sun is forming a trine with futuristic Uranus, but with Mars and Mercury in retrograde, there is still some unfinished business to take care of. If you were ready to go and start off the New Year with a bang, you may want to take a beat. 2023 begins with a few lingering transits that are still causing some chaos and confusion.
It’s here, the last month of 2022! December will feel different, as some of the planets will be moving from mutable fire (Sagittarius) to cardinal earth (Capricorn). As the ambitious energy of the Sagittarius begins to take hold, we might fall into the trap of wanting to push forward certain goals. But remember, Mars is still in retrograde only to be joined by Mercury at month’s end. With planets moving backwards in the sky, December is much better spent in deep reflection. Before we enter 2023, the universe requests that we focus on healing, which will require honesty and courage on our end.
It’s November: Eclipse season, midterm elections and soon, the holidays. We’re coming to the finish line of a tumultuous year. As we journey through November, we will also be working with the energies of Mars Retrograde that happened in October. Mars Retrograde can sometimes make us feel sluggish or can heighten feelings of burnout if we have been doing too much or pushing too hard.
