Horoscope 2023

Read on to find out what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign this month, according to our resident astrologer.

Fast on the heels of this transit is the full moon on January 6, which falls in your partnership sector and serves as an opportunity to work through challenging emotions with a dear friend, loved one, or S.O. [Venus, the planet of relationships](https://www.instyle.com/lifestyle/astrology/venus-sign-meaning), pairs up with Pluto, the planet of transformation in your sign, which can’t help but further intensify a desire to feel seen and appreciated for what you’ve been putting your nose to the grindstone on. Circle January 12 as a lovely high point of the month, because your other co-ruler, assertive Mars, which has been retrograde since October 30 in your intimacy zone, finally moves forward, allowing you to assert yourself more vibrantly in the bedroom and when it comes to money matters you need to tackle alongside a loved one. Going inward is a must, as well — especially on January 1 when Venus, the relationship planet, and Pluto, your co-ruler and the planet of transformation, pair up in your communication zone, which can intensify conversations and connections with others. On January 12, Mars, the planet of action and energy, finally moves forward in your adventure sector, which can fuel your ability to get out of your comfort zone and enjoy more learning experiences for the first time since late October. The new year and new month begin with the sun moving through your communication zone, Scorpio, but communication — plus technology and transportation — are likely anything but a walk in the park at the moment, thanks to messenger Mercury’s retrograde there since December 29. And around January 6, when the full moon is in your sign, you can’t help but find yourself swimming in the deep end of your emotions around all of this. Meanwhile, though you’ve been banging your head against the wall to earn recognition and feel heard by higher-ups, thanks to Mars’ retrograde in your career zone since October 30, the planet of action finally moves forward on January 12, which can feel like a caffeine shot for your big picture goals. And from January 26 to February 20, your ruler, Venus, moves through your networking sector, which can amplify your desire — and ability — to connect and collaborate with others as you work toward a shared intention. On January 9, your ruler, sweet Venus in your professional sector forms a harmonizing trine to go-getter Mars in your money zone, which could lay the groundwork for professional rewards. By the 29th, when the vitality-boosting sun in your long-term wishes zone forms a harmonizing trine to your ruler, assertive Mars, in your communication sector, you’re more than fired up and prepared to make 2023 a year of major, positive change. Venus and Saturn pair up there the next day, just as Uranus ends its retrograde in your money zone, which can signal the start of a new chapter for earning in a way that’s more in line with your values.
