The energetic shifts in the annual horoscope for 2023 are as quick and short-term as seldom. So the collective energy could already feel like a whole new year after March (Saturn moves into Pisces, Pluto into Aquarius). astrologer Tanja Brock explains what the so-called Mars year has in store for the 12 zodiac signs in the big annual horoscope 2023.

The big price question for astrology is: How will 2023 be from an astrological point of view?

Astrologically, every year has a year ruler, for 2023 it is Mars. And this planetary energy, independently of many other transits and constellations, largely determines the basic tenor of a calendar year.

The Martian year officially begins with the beginning of the new astrological year at the spring equinox, when the sun changes to the sign Aries on March 20th, 2023. But it is extremely important to tune in to the energy early on. The planetary assignment comes from the so-called hundred-year calendar , which is also used to determine the weather.  

Mars is considered a personal planet and directly shapes our actions.   The energetic planet spends the early part of the year through March in Gemini 2023.

Joining Jupiter in Aries through May 2023 is a great time to take the war out of the masculine in all of us, the anger at the current conflicts and war situation in the world.

Nevertheless, especially in a Martian year, we can learn to fight for ourselves and our concerns but also something bigger.

The energetic changes in 2023 are so quick and short-term that the collective energy could already feel very different and like a completely new year after March when Saturn moves into Pisces and Pluto moves into Aquarius. It will be a really crazy ride in 2023.

Looking back, 2021 and 2022 may have felt like lesson-laden and difficult sequels to 2020, but that's because many of the outer planets are   eg Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune in Pisces or Saturn in Aquarius were still in the same constellations.  

And the most effective duration aspect Saturn-Uranus-Square (brought drastic changes out of the nix like Corona, broke up old structures, fueled the rebellion against the old and the stuck and brought about crises and war and was now effective in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The good   Message: it has now gradually dissolved in October 2032.  

Since   In 2020 Saturn, the planet of strictness and rules, had moved into Aquarius. And also in March 2023 he will finally change into the spiritual and boundary-dissolving sign Pisces. Are we finally experiencing more humanity and with feeling in our society and for spirituality, bringing its own structures and support into society?  

March 21 - April 20

The Aries Impulse 2023: Believe in your own power!

From January to May Jupiter will accompany you in Aries as a great lucky charm. In addition, from March onwards, Mars, the regent of the year, will enormously push your power, your health and your Aries-typical ambition. What ambitious goals do you have for 2023?

Supported by the focus and concentration that Saturn in Aquarius gives until the beginning of March, it is advisable to prepare the most important plans and projects beforehand. And with a short cosmic stopover from March to June from Pluto in Aquarius, the power of Aries is strengthened and many worries and troubles seem to vanish into thin air. In the year of Mars, your ruling planet and with promising constellations, there shouldn't be any insurmountable obstacles in 2023 that you wouldn't tackle as a brave Aries. As the personal ruling planet, Mars will ensure particularly favorable conditions in 2023.

The Taurus Impulse 2023: Redefine Your Values!

Also in 2023, Uranus, the ruling planet of the rebellious Aquarius, as the planet of change, stands for major changes in the very security-oriented zodiac sign Taurus. Therefore, for better or worse, they will be thrown out of their comfort zone again and again this year, or in the best case scenario, they will empower themselves to leave it in order to broaden their own horizons. Maybe big changes or a trip around the world are coming up this year?

Although the ruler of the year, Jupiter, will be replaced by the power planet Mars this year, the lucky planet will remain the lucky planet. Jupiter moves into the sign of Taurus for twelve months in May and thus ensures abundance, wealth and wish fulfillment. Everything that Taurus loves so much, along with enjoyment, luxury, fame and professional success, seems more tangible than usual in 2023. Due to the tension constellation from Saturn in Aquarius to Uranus in Taurus, however, one or the other point is taught to apply more self-control and discipline, in order not to become too passive in view of the abundance of Jupiter.

My advice:

As a rule, all things only have the value that we ourselves give them!

The cancer impulse 2023: real change starts from within!

Whether in relationships or materially, in 2023, sensitive Cancers will feel a strong desire to advance. You can therefore check this year who or what is preventing you from developing. As in previous years, Uranus, the planet of change, accompanies and supports us - especially in the period from the end of January to the end of August 2024.

Jupiter moves to Taurus for twelve months in May and beforehand in Aries provides the impulse to reshape life. In Taurus from mid-May, he then provides the necessary self-confidence to take decisive steps. Saturn, from the beginning of March in your friendly Pisces, also supports a firm belief in yourself. You can follow your own intuition - the secret weapon of Cancer anyway. Pluto in Capricorn prompts you to look at old themes that may still be able to heal, with the exception of a short period from March to June.

My advice:

Trust in your superpower, your intuition!

The Leo Impulse 2023: Take luck into your own hands!

On January 8th, the sensitive point Lilith changes into Leo and confronts her with self-doubts that have so far inhibited her from making a big public appearance. Big stages, spotlight and lots of applause are possible, but also inner rebellion and dealing with the topics of shame and primal femininity. By mid-May, with Jupiter in Aries, most Leos will feel inspired and want to expand their own horizons. Maybe you are starting an exciting further education?

They want to express their goals and realize them. From May 16th, with Jupiter in Taurus, Leo will have to prove how concrete this works. From this point on, you should also practice a little more modesty and humility, not so easy for the magnanimous lions. Annual regent Mars will really push you in favorable phases in 2023 and, above all, with Venus in Leo in the summer, give you a full four months of love, passion and romance.

JOB:

  LOVE:

You are the lucky child in love in 2023! Positive for a long phase March to October with Venus in own sign. Please be realistic during the Venus retrograde of 07/23. until 04.09.

11/24 - 1/4/24 // Mars in Sagittarius for travel

My advice:

Bring your creative ideas into the world and realize them!

The Libra Impulse 2023: Your diplomacy will become your secret weapon in the Martian year 2023!

Such a Mars year initially sounds extremely exhausting for the peaceful Libra. But they should strengthen this annual theme with Mars and favorable Mars phases, above all in their own self-confidence. Right at the beginning of the year, with Mars in the friendly Gemini, you will be able to start confidently without having to think long or even give your self-doubt room. Who and what do you want to confidently set more limits for in 2023?

In 2023 it will be important to use your own communication skills for teamwork and meaningful cooperation. These are promoted from January to mid-May, by Jupiter in opposite Aries. Saturn in Aquarius gives you the stamina and self-confidence you need to stay on your own path until the beginning of March. Thanks to Venus in Leo, the reward is a summer full of love and joy.

JOB:

Happiness in love almost all year round, especially in January to April, June to August and December.

BLESS YOU:

Nature, sport and fill up with lots of fresh oxygen. In April and the end of July it is essential to strengthen the immune system.

Best Mars Phases:

01/12 - 25.03. // Mars in Gemini for communication

20.05. - 10.07. // Mars in Leo for courage and ambition

08/27 - 12.10. // Mars in Libra for harmony and flow

My advice:

Make them love their own positive qualities and get compliments on them!

The Scorpio Impulse 2023: With a little more patience and without pressure, great luck will succeed !

You may feel a great blockage and heaviness since December 2020. That's because of Saturn in Aquarius, which may be preventing Scorpio from making significant moves forward. With the change from Saturn to the friendly Pisces at the beginning of March, you can finally feel some relief in 2023

Even if Jupiter changes to the opposite Taurus from May, there is a basic tension, but this will primarily bring you forward with ambition in business and also promises financial blessings. Everything will succeed in 2023 by putting less pressure on yourself. Above all, this will be a challenge when Pluto moves into Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th and creates renewed tension. As in previous years, Uranus in Taurus, planet of change, demands great change and transformation. You have to keep letting go, especially the pressure you keep putting on yourself.

JOB:

The year starts positively with Venus in Pisces from 27.01. until 20.02. Other particularly good times for love: 07.05. - 15.06. with Venus in Cancer and from 04.12. until 29.12. in your own sign. Unfortunately, the long Venus phase in Leo in summer tends to cause frustration.

BLESS YOU:

Best Mars Phases:

25.03.-20.05. // Mars in Cancer for decisions and remodeling

10.07.-27.08. // Mars in Virgo for purposeful work

12.10.-24.11. // Mars in Scorpio for real strength, including physical

My advice:

The Capricorn Impulse 2023: A functioning mind is worth its weight in gold, but being able to listen to your own heart is priceless!

The Mars year 2023 makes ambitious Capricorns even more powerful and determined. Jupiter in Aries will even encourage Capricorns to make big leaps in business or private life until mid-May 2023. You don't even know them as combative as the ibexes get. Then in May Jupiter will move to the friendly sign of Taurus for twelve months, and those born in Capricorn will become more passive and may do less and receive more.

You deserve a little more rest and relaxation anyway and worked hard for it. A long 15-year demanding phase of transformation by Pluto in Capricorn will enter its final phase when Pluto moves into Aquarius in early March through June. Take a look inside yourself: What profound experiences have you had over the past 15 years?

From the beginning of March you will gain empathy and receive powerful support from a spiritual point of view, since your ruling planet Saturn will switch to sensitive Pisces. Uranus in Taurus, as a planet of change, is favorable until 2025. In 2023, you can leave the beaten path and reinvent yourself.

JOB:

10.07.-27.08. // Mars in Virgo: creativity and order

12.10. - 24.11. // Mars in Scorpio: Assertiveness

My advice:

The Aquarius Impulse 2023: Your enthusiasm is contagious and inspired!

In 2023 you will be given some promising opportunities both by Mars as the ruler of the year in general and at the beginning of the year in Gemini. Jupiter is in Aries until mid-May and provides you with cosmic gifts, happy coincidences, profits and opportunities for success. From the middle of May, with Jupiter in Taurus, which forms a tension with your sign, you feel lucky and called upon to achieve great things.

Uranus in Taurus will put you in a good mood and spark many new ideas. Please be careful not to take too many risks. You will experience a great moment of deep breathing when the strict tester planet Saturn leaves your sign in March. This is a little foretaste of "your time", the fabled Age of Aquarius. You will receive a lot of willpower between March 23rd and June 11th with Pluto in your sign.

JOB:

01/12 - 25.03. // Mars in Gemini (direct) communication

08/27 - 12.10. // Mars in Libra for success

11/24 - 1/4/24 // Mars in Sagittarius for purposeful power
