Monthly Horoscope for January 2023

With another period of apparent retrograde motion from planet Mercury, it’s always better to redo and rework projects that are already on the desk instead of beginning new ones. Mercury goes direct early in the morning of the 18th. See Mercury Retrograde Dates for 2023.

Two more planets, Mars & Uranus, end their periods of apparent retrograde motion this month as well. After the 22nd, all of the planets will be in a forward motion through February and March. So from January 23 to February 4, this is a good time to initiate something that you would like to see grow. A local bank account would do nicely especially if begun on the 24th.

Jupiter is currently traversing through the sign of Aries making this an especially prodigious time for the inhabitants of that sign. It will enter Taurus in mid May and stay there through the end of the year.

Planet Mars is currently brushing past the USA’s Uranus. This is likely to produce some unexpected happenings so it would probably be best to keep plans flexible.

We are working our way towards a Full Moon at 6:09 PM (EST) on the 6th. The New Moon occurs at 3:53 PM (EST) on the 21st. Learn more about the Full Wolf Moon.
