Capricorn, 2023 is a LOT, But in a Good Way

Receive all that is yours.

This is a year of growth and transformation for you, Capricorn. This year is full of change, metamorphosis and regeneration. Not only that, but the year both starts and ends with Mercury retrograde in your home sign. While these transits are not particularly positive or negative, they can be disruptive. However, it is how you work through them that determines the role they will play in your year. Being less attached to extrinsic outcomes, surrendering control and being compassionate toward yourself will improve your year dramatically. This year, the more you let go, the happier you will be.

Who You Really Are

Persevering yet sensitive, Capricorn is symbolised by the sea goat, half fish and half goat. This unlikely pairing represents the meeting of the vulnerability and flexibility of fish and the resilience and hardiness of the mountain goat. Externally, Capricorn achieves magnitudes. Thriving on hard work, responsibility and leadership, they blaze trails and conquer mountains.

Internally, Capricorn feels deeply, loves intensely, and protects its soft centre. When developed, Capricorns are successful, loving, organised, and inspiring. When underdeveloped, they can be oversensitive, arrogant and overworked. Balance, vulnerability, and trust are traits Capricorns are here to acquire.

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. Cardinal signs are leaders who are emotionally intelligent, social, and determined, while earth signs are wise, grounded, and reliable. Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, is the planet of structure, discipline and responsibility, giving them a heightened sense of obligation. They are at home in the 10th house of career, reputation and work, making their vocation incredibly important to them. Capricorns are hard workers who care deeply and have a knack for success. You can truly achieve anything, Capricorn. So what do you want to do?

Career and Money

On the 6th of April, the full moon in Libra brings a time of reflection on your career, work life, and long-term goals. Issues that may come up are work-life balance, career indecision and aligning your work with your moral philosophy. Work with this full moon by reflecting on your values, reviewing your long-term plan and taking part in meditation or journaling. From the 27th of August until the 4th of Libra it is a great time to take chances in your career, as well as network, collaborate and begin new projects.

2023 starts with a focus on money, especially when it comes to building financial resources and structures that last. From the beginning of the year until the 11th of June, it is a fantastic time to explore new options for revenue. The 23rd of January may bring a sudden and unexpected change to your finances, so ensure you have a safety net to fall back on just in case. On the 1st of August, there is a full moon in Aquarius that is perfect for reflecting on the massive financial change of the year so far. Review your systems, beliefs and organisation, and decide what you want to change going forward.

Friends and Family

During the lunar eclipse in Scorpio on the 5th of May, problems, changes and suppressed emotions about your friendships, social life and connections to people may surface. If you are struggling with beginning, deepening or ending a friendship for your greater good, this is a time when the eclipse may take matters into its own hands. From the 12th of October until the end of the year, you can socialise more easily than usual. Use this time to develop trust with one or two close friends, flex your vulnerability muscle and get to know people on a deeper level.

The year begins with a lot of positive, if somewhat chaotic, energy surrounding your home and family. From the 20th of February until the 15th of May, you are well placed to improve family relationships, your living space and your self-care. Take on a leadership role within your family circle to ease tensions, tackle big projects to make your space more your own and allow spontaneity and fun into your home and heart. On the 29th of September, there is a full moon in Aries, during which it is a convenient time to reflect on your family relationships, living arrangements and sense of security.

Love and Romance

2023 begins with a full moon in Cancer in which themes of relationships, commitment and sharing come to the surface. Work through these themes by being emotionally honest with yourself, facing any internal insecurities and having compassion for your partners and yourself. From the 7th of May until the 23rd of July you are primed for romance and long-term love. Use this time to be vulnerable with those who deserve it, nurture yourself and your loved ones and connect with others on a personal level.

On the 5th of June, a transformation of sorts will occur, either of your current relationship or your own beliefs about relationships as a whole. On the 27th of December, we finish with another full moon in Cancer, providing the perfect opportunity to reflect on the year and what role partnerships and commitment have played in your life.

On a less serious note, this is a fantastic year for flirting, dating, and romance for you. Big, sudden changes, exciting opportunities and amazing personal growth await between the beginning of the year and the 4th of September. Take advantage by leaning into your sensuality, moving at your own pace and taking time to smell the roses.

Your Year in a Nutshell

This year may feel very full, but it’s full of chances to show yourself love, learn the power of the unknown and learn how to trust the process, your loved ones and yourself. You are building a better you, but not in the way you might think. All your biggest achievements are within, and they are accomplished when you show yourself grace, acceptance and compassion.

Goodbye, 2022! 2023 Is Here, and She’s Bursting With Possibilities

Let go and enjoy the ride.

This year is special in a lot of ways, and no one will leave it unscathed (but in a good way). Immense growth, change and deeper connections to themselves and others, all signs will be experiencing rare astrological events and transformative energies throughout the year. Anomalies include four Mercury Retrogrades in the earth signs, providing us with a safe time to review and recover from the intense energy between them. Another rarity, this year contains 13 Full Moons, 2 of which will be in Cancer and full of emotional, reflective and security-oriented energy. There are also 2 Aries New Moons, one of which is a Solar Eclipse, bringing us big new beginnings-type energy around March. Venus is in Retrograde around the middle of the year, in Leo. This may bring about relationship conflicts, creative blocks or revisions and financial errors so prioritise communication, generosity and compassion.

Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in nearly 27 years this year, and if you were born between 1994 and 1996, get ready for your Saturn Return; known universally as a time of big changes and “growing up”. More broadly, Saturn in Pisces will bring about a lot of emotional, spiritual and altruistic work and changing of structures within these areas. This transit will cause a global shift in the collective’s beliefs, compassion and connection to one another as structures are put in place to better support humanity.

Jupiter moves into Taurus this year, a transit that is financially abundant and full of good fortune. Growth and healing will occur for many around their bodies, their connection to the present moment, and their routines. Slow and steady progress, grounding practices and practising mindfulness are all ways to accentuate the positively lush energy this transit brings. In the second half of 2023, both Jupiter and Uranus Retrograde in Taurus, providing a time to reflect on our relationship with money, possessions, work and security.

Finally, Pluto will undertake its first appearance in Aquarius for the first time since 1798. While its full 20-year stint in Aquarius will not begin properly until 2024, this first touch will give us a taste of the change that it will bring for the first time. Transformation will occur globally in areas like technology, humanitarianism, rebellions and new ideas. This exciting new age has the potential to unite humanity more than ever before while holding the power to overthrow oppressive systems and create solutions to social problems. Aquarius in Pluto brings hope into 2023 in a way many of us have been looking for for a long time.

2023 is big, it’s unique, it’s dynamic and it brings powerful energy. As the energy of 2023 sweeps through, let go and enjoy the ride. While unpredictable and at times downright terrifying, trust that it is taking us to a better place. Ready to see where this thing takes us?
