Scorpio, 2023 Is All About Connection

Let the love in this year.

Relationships are at the forefront of your focus in 2023, Scorpio, whether you like it or not. While you value your privacy and independence greatly, you need love and connection as much as anybody else. This year, your job is to learn how to accept it. Scorpio has significant influences from the 10th of October until the end of the year, and many of these energies will bring significant and sudden changes. While it may feel disruptive, power is shifting now to accommodate you more than ever. Be brave, Scorpio. Everything you desire is waiting for you.

Who You Really Are

The scorpion often lives in the darkest places by choice. It explores every nook and cranny to find what it is looking for. It keeps to itself, values its privacy, and will strike when provoked. Just like Scorpios. This mysterious, intense sign is honest, brave, and intuitive in their search for the truth. Preferring to keep to themselves rather than maintain false relationships, they have a unique ability to maintain perspective. At their best, Scorpio is loyal, devoted, passionate, and courageous. At their worst, they can be deliberately hurtful, antagonistic, and pessimistic. Positivity, forgiveness, and tolerance are traits Scorpios are here to develop.

This fixed water sign is ruled by Pluto and is at home in the 8th house of mystery, loss, shared finances, and intimacy. The combination of water’s sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and creativity with fixed signs’ persistence, devotion, and stability lends itself to a sign who is self-assured, emotionally sensitive, and has a deep capacity for love. The 8th house represents the stage of our lives where we explore our true desires. Pluto is the planet of change, regeneration, and transformation, and Scorpios often evolve many times throughout their lives. Together, these influences create a sign who is deeply passionate, true to themselves and fearless in their search for their desires. Don’t deny your farthest reaches, Scorpio. The deeper you go the higher you grow.

Career and Money

The full moon in Leo on the 5th of February is a time when career matters will come into focus for you. It is a great time to review the way you work, network, and receive fulfilment from your chosen field. Use this time to connect your career with your heart, and see if it fits well there. From the 20th of May until the 9th of October (except between the 23rd of July and the 4th of September) it is a great time to meet new people in professional settings, look at ways to give through your work, and move into leadership roles.

Astrologically, the first half of 2023 is fairly uneventful, money-wise. The first notable event is the full moon in Sagittarius on the 4th of June. This full moon is well suited for reflecting on your money habits, especially reckless or spontaneous spending. From the 10th of November until the end of the year it is a particularly fruitful time for money matters, so spend time setting financial intentions, investing, and spending money on experiences like classes or travel rather than things.

Friends and Family

Socially you may feel more withdrawn at the beginning of 2023, but during the full moon in Virgo on the 7th of March, friendship matters come to the forefront. This is a good time to consider whether what you give, the boundaries you set, and the times you spend with your friends are sufficient. From the 10th of July through to the 8th of November, you will feel more inclined to engage with people socially and build friendships. Be discerning with who you give your time and energy to, however, as people will be lining up to receive the devotion you naturally give.

2023 begins with a focus on home and family, particularly around doing things differently and gaining more independence. Until the 3rd of March, it is a good time to work on bringing fun into your family structures, changing up your living space and striking out on your own when you can. From the 1st of May until the 11th of June there will be a big transformation in this area of life. Your family dynamic, who you cohabit with or the place you live may change, so take each adjustment as it comes. On the 1st of August, the full moon in Aquarius provides you with time to reflect on how and with whom you are living, and if there are any changes you would like to make.

Love and Romance

This year is another big one for long-term relationships and begins with a period of dramatic changes and mental shifts from the 23rd of January until the 29th of August. These changes will most likely consist of themes like intimacy, sensuality, commitment, and loyalty. On the 31st of March, there will be a surprising or sudden change to your partnership or some other commitment. From the 17th of March until the 11th of June, it is a good time to work with your partner or your internal belief system to deepen your connection and ground yourself in the present. Experiencing nature, enjoying food and music, and working steadily towards a common goal are particularly great for this.

From the 16th of May until the 4th of September positive opportunities will present themselves in the form of new relationships, lasting love lessons, and the deepening of current connections. The rest of the year is best spent taking a step back to rest, relax and review. The lunar eclipse in Taurus on the 28th of October is especially well suited for dealing with any relationship issues that have built up, reflecting on your personal hang-ups and allowing for powerful growth in your relationship with yourself and others.

Your Year in a Nutshell

With change in the air, 2023 may ruffle your fixed sign feathers, but you will be fine. The more you open your heart, mind and soul to new experiences, perspectives and people, the less jarring these changes will be. Instead of swimming against the current, let go and let the water take you.

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?
