Virgo, 2023 is Your Year of Self Love

Let the love in.

Love takes centre stage for you this year, Virgo, and it’s about time. This year is about channelling the love, generosity, nurturing, and understanding you have for others and giving it to yourself. All of this new energy will express itself in multiple ways, including tension, so remain flexible and trust the process. A Mercury retrograde in Virgo from the 23rd of August until the 15th of September may bring some chaos to the standard with which you like to maintain your life. Organisation, communication, and health issues may arise during this time, so take your time and let go of what you cannot control.

Who You Really Are

Walking with grace, poise, and serenity, Virgo has arrived. Virgo is known for the kindness they give, the detail they observe and the perfection they pursue. Their symbol, the maiden, symbolises their close relationship with nature, their self-sufficiency and their sensitivity. A Virgo in their strength is giving, helpful, healthy, organised, and calm. When they struggle, it manifests as being overly critical of themselves and others, not having sufficient boundaries, as well as unbridled perfectionism and nervousness. Self-worth, boundary-setting, balance and acceptance are life lessons for Virgo.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury and is at home in the 6th house of health, organisation and daily life. A combination of mutable (flexible, open-minded, and understanding) and earth (grounded, perceptive, and trustworthy) produce a sign that is a steady and accommodating person who finds genuine pleasure in serving others.

Mercury shows up in this sign with its more analytical properties, driving Virgos to be focused on details, cleanliness, and health. The 6th house represents the time in a person’s life when they begin to scrutinise information rather than simply taking it at face value. All this constructs a sign that is intelligent, detail-oriented, giving, and kind. Take your time, Virgo, you have as much time as the trees and the flowers.

Career and Money

If you’ve had a lack of work motivation over the past few months, that’s due to end in 2023. From the 12th of January, your work drive returns as well as your ability to process large amounts of information within the workplace. From the 21st of May until the 27th of July you are well situated to make career moves. Things like negotiating pay rises, job interviews, and tackling creative or innovative projects are ideal for this period. The full moon in Gemini on the 27th of November provides a great time for reflection on your work life, particularly the previous six months. Have you achieved what you set out to?

The full moon in Libra on the 6th of April is a time when the financial seeds you have been sowing begin to sprout. It’s also a good time to balance your budget, make financial goals and reflect on your spending habits. From the 27th of August until the 4th of December is a prosperous time to spend money, make financial decisions, and treat yourself to a moderately good time.

Friends and Family

The first full moon of 2023 will have you reflecting on your friendships, who you spend your time with and how they make you feel. The full moon in Cancer is on the 7th of January and is a time when suppressed feelings come to the surface. From the 7th of May until the 23rd of July you will be at your most sociable. This is the best time to socialise in a way that works for you, like deepening existing friendships, providing and receiving emotional support, and partaking in joint self-care activities. The second full moon in Cancer for the year falls on the 27th of December and is a chance to look back over the year and reflect on the impact your friendships had on your life.

The full moon in Sagittarius on the 4th of June may have you feeling restricted by traditional definitions of home and family. This is a time when you are reflecting on what you need from home, your loved ones and yourself. You may need space, freedom and fun to do that. Your home or family life is transforming once more from the 11th of October, so remain flexible to prevent your peace from shattering. From the 22nd of October and for the rest of the year is an ideal time for moving somewhere new, claiming your independence, and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Love and Romance

From the 27th of January until the 21st of March, the world is your romantic oyster. Whether you’re single and looking, committed, dating or in love with your independence, dreamy romanticism is in store for you. The 2nd of March is a very, very, very romantic, passionate, and love-abundant day. Mark your calendars. Proposals, pregnancy announcements, moving in together, amazing dates or simply witnessing how much love surrounds you is on the cards for many Virgos on this day. Ideas, relationships and new steps that begin around this time will fruit around the full moon in Pisces on the 31st of August. Long-term relationship building is also well suited from the 4th of November well into 2024.

As far as dating goes, the year begins strong with only the very best matches winning time with you. The very first day of 2023 will likely bring a change to how you approach dating, romance, and expressing yourself authentically.

Your Year in a Nutshell

While giving is nothing new for you, Virgo, this year is going to teach you how to receive. Now is the time to allow yourself to be cared for, vulnerable, and loved unconditionally, and it starts within. You deserve to be so loved, Virgo. Let the love in.

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?
