General
The Year of the Rabbit 2023 is a true roller coaster for Aquarius, a year of ups and downs, from infinite heights to unfathomable depths.
Due to Saturn in Aquarius and Mars retrograde in Gemini, the start of 2023 goes slow despite the powerful energy of Jupiter in Aries. From May 17, 2023, there will be another period of delay due to Jupiter in Taurus. May to June 2023 are months of reconsideration and adjustment due to the influence of retrograde Pluto in Aquarius.
The Year of the Rabbit offers many opportunities for careers and relationships and there are dreams to be realized in 2023, but that will not happen by itself.
For Aquarius, success can only be achieved with perseverance and patience.
Love and Relationships
Until January 11, 2023 Mars is retrograde in Gemini (5th House of Love). January 2023 can be a period of stress and problems in love relationships for Aquarius in which Aquarius tends to make hasty decisions. From the end of October 2022, retrograde Mars in Gemini may have led to the return of an ex or problems in your social circle. Aquarius may have lost friendships due to past misunderstandings and love issues. Mars will go direct again from January 12, 2023, but it will take until March 25, 2023 (end of the shadow period) before the storm settles down.
Until the end of March 2023, there will then be room for reconciliation, restoring and strengthening love relationships and friendships.
However, asteroid Ceres will go retrograde in Virgo (8th House of Intimacy) from March 26, 2023 to May 7, 2023. Aquarius then feels a distance in the intimate relationship or feels less involved or
you are not getting the support and love you need. The problem is not with the other person, but with you and you then have to dig deep within yourself to get to the core problem that makes you feel this way in order to solve it.
Asteroid Ceres in Virgo will remain in Virgo until June 21, 2023 to enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual connections with others so that you feel supported, trusted and safe.
Mars travels through Leo (7th House of Relationships) from May 21 to July 10, 2023 and during that period you take the lead in a relationship or are actively seeking new connections or new partnerships and working on improving relationships.
From July 23 to September 3, 2023, Venus in Leo goes retrograde in the House of Relationships which coincides with the transit of Mars in Virgo from July 11 to August 27, 2023 in the 8th House. During that period, Aquarius can experience an oppressive feeling of too many obligations or uncertainty with others, too much pressure from others or a feeling of being out of balance. Aquarius must then look for the cause in order to understand and let go. Mercury retrograde in Virgo from August 23, 2023 to September 14, 2023 may bring forth underlying issues related to trust and intimacy, issues not addressed with Ceres retrograde in spring 2023.
With all this retrograde energy, a relationship could be strained in 2023.
The year 2023 is all about renewed connections with people from the past or the return of an ex-lover. Also, the strong retrograde energy is an indication that 2023 may be the year of finding a twin soul.
Until the end of 2023 and the first half of 2024, the Solar Eclipse in Libra of October 14, 2023 could be the cosmic gateway to a love abroad, a return to a place abroad or a place in the world you love fantasized. A new love or relationship therapy can lead to doubts and a problem can also arise with money.
Career
The powerful transit of Jupiter in Aries until May 16, 2023 has a beneficial effect on advertisers, authors, the travel industry, logistics, media or education. With Jupiter in Aries, Aquarius is excited with many new ideas and plans that you like to share with others.
The Solar Eclipse in Aries of April 20, 2023 falls into your third House and will profoundly affect the way you communicate in the next six months. A brilliant idea can become reality in the next six months, but it needs preparation. Red warrior Mars travels from March 26 to May 20, 2023 through Cancer (The House of Work and Daily Activities). This is a productive period to get many work projects done only if you are motivated about the work.
On May 5, 2023 there is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio (House of Career and Destiny) and that is the cosmic gateway to changes in your career. This cosmic event shows the possibility of progress and success, but only if you put your heart and soul into it.
This Lunar Eclipse shows that projects are coming to completion or being set in motion.
Profound career changes such as a reorganization or change in company policy, different government regulations or management changes are possible.
The Lunar Eclipse also indicates the need to restore balance between career or public life and the needs of your family and private life. It is also possible that Aquarius will take a completely different course in the next six months if you are not satisfied with the path you are now following. When you’re stuck in a situation where you’re not happy or your heart isn’t filled, Aquarius can experience setbacks and delays and be more emotionally sensitive. If you love what you do and you have done things well, then you can achieve success, progress and get recognition.
Due to the influence of asteroid Ceres in Libra from June 22, 2023 to September 15, 2023, Aquarius feels supported and more optimistic and excited about plans and that is posited by Mars in Libra! Mars in Libra travels through Libra from August 28 to October 12, 2023, and this optimistic transit gives Aquarius energy and drive to chase your ideas and take action to make plans a reality.
Asteroid Ceres travels through Scorpio (House of Career and Destiny) from September 16, 2023 to November 25, 2023, and Mars travels through Scorpio from October 13, 2023 to November 24, 2023. Mars in Scorpio is energy, ambition and drive and with this power you can make progress. This collaboration can lead to more responsibilities or a managerial position at the end of 2023. Mars in Scorpio makes you passionate and courageous. Aquarius now dares everything, goes for it and goes straight for the goal.
The Solar Eclipse in Libra of October 14, 2023 falls in the House of Philosophy of Life, Abroad and Study and this influence accelerates projects related to international travel, abroad, publications and higher education in the next six months.
This Solar Eclipse is the cosmic gateway of “growing” as a human being, a journey, a sabbatical, retreat, study, to realize plans and a new perception of Life and life philosophy that can lead to a new life at the end of 2023 career or other daytime activities.
Finance
Neptune is your planet of Money, because Pisces is your House of Finance.
Neptune controls the principle of detachment, where you become detached from earthly matters. The more you try to hold on to your possessions during this period, the more you lose. The more you give, the more you receive. Aquarius is increasingly getting a different view of material possessions and value judgment. The more you depend on possessions, your life and valuation, the greater the chance that you will lose everything you depend on.
Due to the influence of Neptune, it remains difficult to keep control over your finances or you do not have access to relevant financial information. Due to the influence of Neptune in Pisces, it is more difficult to keep a financial overview. Neptune will remain in Pisces (House of Finance) until the end of January 2026, so you will also have to watch your money throughout 2023.
It is possible that Aquarius could be disadvantaged financially or you could be taken advantage of. Be careful with risky ventures, as you may fall victim to deceptive practices.
Money can come in with art, feet, water or the spirit world.
Saturn travels through Pisces (House of Finance) from March 8, 2023 and will remain there until mid-February 2026 to put things in order. Saturn in Pisces brings karmic lessons about what is really important to you and what you really value. Financially a lesser period, but this period is meant for the discovery of material and spiritual values.
Material possessions reflect your inner value pattern, so now it’s about what you really need. Be careful with finances and be economical with money. Saturn in Pisces is a reality check and can feel like a cold shower, but Saturn brings structure if there are less good financial choices in the past.
Saturn in Pisces is a reality check and can feel like a cold shower, but Saturn brings structure if there are less good financial choices in the past. The feeling of being short of money, but also the feeling of lack and shortcoming is often perception.
The Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio in the House of Career of May 5, 2023 allows profound career changes such as a reorganization or change in company policy, other government regulations or management changes in the coming six months. As a result, there are financial changes that affect the needs of your family and personal life. A rushed purchase can be a bad buy.
Be careful in everything you do.
Plans must therefore be adjusted in the last quarter of 2023.
Family and Home
The energy of the North Node in Taurus until mid-July 2023 shows that Aquarius is focused on creating an emotionally secure future by building or buying a house and strengthening family ties. The great reformer Uranus will remain in the fourth House of Family and House until July 2025.
It may be that Aquarius has moved since the transit of Uranus in Taurus (from March 2019) or there are plans to move to another house or place of residence. In any case, there are unexpected domestic changes and profound changes in your family and the pace in your life has increased. The theme during these years is to clear out old hurts from your childhood in order to move forward on your life path.
Your deepest being undergoes changes, old ties with the past are broken and can be liberating. In any case, your domestic and inner peace has been disturbed, so that things need to be put right. Some of these changes can be sudden and unexpected, which can have an emotional impact on you, so you need to be emotionally flexible.
The Solar Eclipse in Aries of April 20, 2023 falls into your third House and in the next six months will profoundly affect the way you communicate with close relatives, friends and family, everything to do with making connections, networking and information.
In the coming six months, mutual ties will or will not be restored with close family or acquaintances or with family or friends that you have outgrown.
Mercury is retrograde in Taurus from April 21, 2023 to May 14, 2023, and that period is suitable for tackling domestic problems or solving problems with your family.
Clean up before Jupiter’s transit in Taurus begins!
The great Benefactor Jupiter travels from May 17, 2023 through Taurus, the House of Family and Home. Until May 25, 2024, there will be room for Aquarius to renovate or expand the house, buy or sell real estate or move to a more spacious home. There may even be a family expansion or at least positive changes in the living situation.
The transit of Jupiter in Taurus is a search for inner peace and tranquility with your home, family, past and how you feel about yourself.
The Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus of October 28, 2023 falls in the 4th House of Family and Private Life and directly relates to your home and family. This Lunar Eclipse brings out unspoken anger and negative aspects in the family atmosphere. Emotional reactions are inevitable, but they do help find a solution to fix a lingering situation. A strong family bond all gets stronger, but when there are problems you may feel more distant and need some space. Something that has been hidden and that has to do with parents, elders or relatives, even from previous generations, is now coming out. There may be a career move in the next six months that makes it necessary to move. It is also possible that you are going on a trip with your family or that there is a happy event to celebrate in the family. However, it is of the utmost importance that the balance between private life and career is restored.
