Astrology for January 2023 (All Signs)

Starting off the year 2023, we see several positive developments throughout the month. We start off the month in Capricorn season with Mercury going retrograde through the signs. It is time to review, reflect, and rework! The Full Moon in Cancer will be a time of epiphanies - a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization. It is a time of deep introspection as to the things we no longer wish to carry going forward.

Mars, Mercury, and Uranus will be stationing direct throughout the month and will bring a welcome relief of energy that is noticeable! Keep in mind, there is a post shadow period after the planet has gone direct. The first planet to station direct will be Mars on January 12th, 2023, in the sign of Gemini. Energy, vitality, and determination return. The second planet to station direct will be Mercury on January 18th, 2023. Our thought pattern and ability to communicate will be clearer. The third planet to station direct will be Uranus on January 22nd, 2023. Upheavals that bring revolutionary change and greater freedom.

The month of January has 4 conjunctions which mark powerful times of change. Sextiles and trines throughout the month will bring harmonious energy. There is only 1 square in the month of January, and it is at the end of the month. We also have a New Moon in Aquarius which will bring fresh energy and enthusiasm and by this time Mars and Mercury will be direct; Uranus goes direct the day after. A pleasant twist to the story line with the end of January being considerably lighter energy.
