January sky: retrograde Mercury calls for caution

We start a new year and on the first day of January 2023, Mercury will be retrograde and will remain in this motion until the 18th. At 24 degrees of Capricorn, Mercury retrograde in this sign can bring back people who were part of our past, but above all projects and undertakings shelved and postponed to be reviewed and, who knows, renewed. It’s not a good time to start anything; the important thing is to wait, do it only from 25/01. Mercury retrogrades when paired with Pluto and Venus, so the past when it returns can be transformative.

With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn, business picks up steam, as does everything related to practical life, i.e. money and work. We will all be more serious and committed, but we must leave everything that didn’t work in 2022 in the past and look to the future. Roll up your sleeves now and work hard as needed to build that future.

Jupiter is already in Aries and in direct motion, heading towards Taurus. But until mid-May, it will be in this sign opening doors and providing us with opportunities to establish our identity and fight to conquer everything we want, to achieve our goals and objectives in personal and professional life.

On the 2nd Venus, the planet of love and relationships, leaves Capricorn and begins walking through Aquarius, marking a time of greater freedom and need for autonomy. The period may be related to increased movement in social life and opportunities for new friendships. We will all be less emotional and more rational in decisions, especially those involving love and romance. We will all be much less romantic and more practical. Studies related to new age themes are significantly increasing, as are those involving technology and modernity. We will be freer and more courageous to try new ways of living and behaving.

Saturn and Uranus walk free from each other and the tension we experience in 2021 and 2022 finally leaves us alone. Doubts are in the past and decisions are made with more confidence, especially for the signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius.

On the 6th the Moon continues its cycle, enters the Full phase in Cancer, arrives in tension with retrograde Mercury in Capricorn and Chiron in Aries, indicating days in which we return more to themes involving the past and the family. It is time to end the painful cycles and look ahead to future possibilities. We close the doors of the past and open ourselves to new opportunities.

Retrograde Sun and Mercury are greatly aspected by Uranus and we can feel a kind of sense of freedom, of new opportunities in personal and work life. You just have to be careful of misunderstandings, typical of Mercury when it is retrograde. The period is great for reviewing topics that interest us and delving into them for new insights and learnings. Great time to review old projects, business and get back to school.

Mars resumes its direct motion in Gemini on the 13th and that’s great news! Business resumes at a normal pace and we will find that everything is resolved more quickly, as the doors open. Anger and misunderstandings are in the past, and deals and agreements are signed and signed.

On the 18th Mercury resumes direct movement and we will have all the planets in natural movement, making life walk without obstacles. It could be a very good phase, as we haven’t experienced it for many years. We must open ourselves to the new things that the new year can bring us.

On the 20th the Sun leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius and on the 21st we will have the first New Moon of 2023, in Aquarius, which arrives united with Pluto in Capricorn, bringing countless future opportunities. It is a time of many changes and opportunities for personal transformation and important issues in our lives.

On the same day, Venus in Aquarius joins Saturn, which has been in that sign for almost three years and we get much more serious about making decisions about our future. The period can be quite promising and lasts about three weeks. Relationships take on a committed tone and become more serious as well. It is also the time to create a more solid and secure financial foundation.

On the 28th Venus leaves Aquarius and begins walking through Pisces, a sign into which she is pouring all her best energy. In Pisces, Venus favors emotional relationships, makes us more empathetic and compassionate, with an eye to the good of humanity. No human suffering goes unnoticed and we live in an age where Jesus’ words make more sense. Humanity appreciates the passage of Venus through Pisces, as this can be a time when many come together to seek peace and togetherness in the world.
