Horoscope January 2023: deceleration instead of an ambitious new start

The new year and January start unusually quiet and slow after all, Mercury and Mars are both still retrograde! Venus changes to Aquarius at the beginning of the month and gives us crazy, creative ideas to start the new year with. But you can still take time for structuring (Capricorn) before you communicate your own big dreams and all the wonderful visions. It just takes a healing moment of preparation before we can tackle important things again.

January begins with Mercury in Capricorn retrograde. Mercury turned retrograde in Capricorn on December 29, 2022 and will return direct in Capricorn on January 18. On January 12, the drive planet Mars in the zodiac sign Gemini will also become direct again. This can mean that the basic energy for the start of the year 2023 only becomes more energetic from mid-January.

 

January is a cosmic period of slowing down and rethinking and restructuring our plans before we can fully implement them.  

In January 2023 we will experience a full moon in Cancer, which calls us to take care of ourselves, and the new moon in Aquarius, which also ushers in the Chinese New Year. Also   Uranus in Taurus will be born on January 22nd. directly and suddenly we go to change

Step by step through January

It seems with everything we want to start or finish, we need more time than usual to think, to revise, to correct and to reconsider important things. But it is precisely this Capricorn energy that allows us to set the course for success in January through serious, sometimes strict or pedantic and well-structured work, especially professionally.

The first month of the new year 2022, January is also characterized by Capricorn energy. On December 21st the Sun moved into Capricorn. January begins with Venus retrograde in Capricorn and communication planet Mercury turns retrograde on January 14th in Aquarius and also transitions from 1/26 in Capricorn. On January 24th, the drive planet Mars will also change to the zodiac sign Capricorn.

As an animal of the high mountains, the ibex knows where the balance of life lies - where is up and down. So he doesn't get dazzled that easily and has everything under control. Nevertheless, one should not so easily push Capricorn into the corner of the "cold soul", because behind its facade there is a profundity that is unparalleled and is also present in the original representation of the zodiac sign. Second, he is an absolute workhorse and that makes him - like his earth element "colleagues" Virgo and Taurus - a zodiac sign who can build up a considerable fortune. This is also evident when you look at the list of successful entrepreneurs. Big names like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, shipping legend Aristotle Onassis, cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (and her rival Elizabeth Arden) and Hilton founder Conrad Nicholson Hilton were all born under the Capricorn zodiac sign and have built empires with perseverance and discipline.

 

Mercury retrograde in Capricorn

Mercury retrograde in Capricorn from December 29th. to 01/18/23 in the retrograde can let us clash with others when it comes to difficult topics, strictness or speechlessness in communication. An Astro constellation that can be very frustrating and could eventually block our ability to communicate and our channels such as emails, whatsapp etc.

Tip: In any case, you should be careful not to push through your own point of view too stubbornly

 

Pure emotions, the first full moon of the year:

The Cancer full moon on January 7, 2023 brings a spotlight right now to the topics: family and, home and love, home, truth, support, caring, relationships, needs, but also our goals and dreams for 2023.

Perhaps our goal is to put unhealthy relationships behind us once and for all. The element of water is assigned to Cancer, which is why Cancers see themselves so strongly at the mercy of their emotions because of their sensitivity to them. When the energy is strong in the water element, like on the Cancer full moon on January 18th, sometimes it's just the little things that almost overflow our emotional barrel. It is precisely then that we search more intensely because we feel so attacked and sensitive to the environment of very familiar and beneficial people.

The Cancer full moon helps us to see that there is great potential in the new year 2023 and that there is no need to carry all unhealthy and energy draining connections with us into 2022. The energy of the sign Cancer supports our intuition power and introspection of our emotions.

Free wild soul: On January 23 Uranus turns direct in Taurus 

On August 24, 2022, Uranus became the planetary ruler of Aquarius for about 5 months in Taurus retrograde. In order to understand this planetary energy, one can also deal with the freedom-loving sign Aquarius, into which the sun changes in January anyway. This is a future-oriented free spirit on the move and in constant change. It is therefore possible that in the past 4-5 months you have felt the urgent need to free yourself from constricting situations, but caution was really required against hasty decisions and rebellious emotional actions.

Uranus is also known as an explosive innovator, which, if you haven't provided enough freedom in life, sometimes brings quite brutal changes into life and turns everything upside down. It is all the more important to integrate the Uranus lesson into your own life and to ask yourself

Where is your own wild free soul?!

When Uranus is direct, we open ourselves to all sorts of changes and shifts. This can mean that we separate from people and situations that no longer serve our highest good. As Uranus turns direct, the universe wants us to face what we recognized in retrograde as major themes of change in our lives. We can tackle big life changes and not shy away from upheavals.

Time for progress and originality: January 20 sign change Sun in Aquarius

Aquarians are incredibly humorous and a bit crazy somehow different, it's not for nothing that carnival begins during Aquarius and represents the Aquarius energy quite well. Aquarians are lovable free spirits, small and large rebels, yet great empaths and ready for any adventure.

A true Aquarius radiates freedom and is a master at verbalizing their feelings intellectually and working creatively. Among them you will find some real visionaries and discoverers such as fashion designers: Christian Dior, Narciso Rodriguez or Patricia Field. Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, which is running directly again this month, is a spiritual planet and brings real individualists to light in Aquarius.

The sign Aquarius a stands for the global community and networks and at the same time for an idea of a good society, in the ideal sense with free and progressive thinking.

This quality of time also brings all other signs of the zodiac much more freedom, visions of the future and the desire for individuality and intellectual considerations.
