Are you ready for an exhilarating start to the new year? Your January 2023 horoscope brings anticipation for an exciting month that will set a motivating tone for the rest of the year. With Capricorn season upon us, it's time to make those new year resolutions and actually follow through on them. The sun in Capricorn empowers you to take on new responsibilities with poise and class. And to make things even better, the sun will form a trine with innovative Uranus on January 5, opening up the perfect opportunity to try new things and welcome positive change.
However, there's a small hiccup to be aware of. Mars has been retrograding since October 2022, and Mercury stationed retrograde on December 29. If you've been scratching your head wondering why so many of your deliveries are delayed and why these delays have filled you with so much rage, you can thank Mr. Messenger and Mr. Mad. But don't worry, on January 18, they will both go direct, and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
On January 6, the full moon in Cancer will arrive, bringing a surge of emotions. I suggest running a warm bath and listening to a good playlist to unwind from your hectic life. It’s a great time to reflect on how you're balancing your work and home life. This full moon represents the culmination of the intentions you set during the new moon on June 28. Take some time to reflect on what has transpired since then and see if there are any changes you would like to make.

Your 2023 Yearly Horoscope Predicts a Year You’ll Never Forget
Throughout the month, Jupiter will be in the confident fire sign of Aries, encouraging you to embrace the fool within, take calculated risks, and create your own opportunities. Don't wait for permission to start that project you've been wanting to pursue. With Venus in Aquarius sextile Jupiter, there will be plenty of good feelings to go around.
As Aquarius season begins on January 20, it's time to say goodbye to convention and try doing something outside your comfort zone. Seek out people with different points of view to expand your mind and embrace the season of not giving a $*#@ about what other people think.
The new moon in Aquarius on January 21 brings an opportunity to connect and reach out to your social circle and community. Take a moment to acknowledge what these relationships mean to you and what you hope they will mean for your future. Maybe it’s time to give back or check in on that friend who has been having a rough time. Perhaps you could start a book club or attend an event in your neighborhood. Set an intention and allow it to bring unexpected surprises into your life.
