General
January 2023 is a month of obligations and challenges especially in the field of relationships.
Most of the planets are still at the bottom of the Libra horoscope. The Night Side is about inner processing, family and domestic circumstances. It is a period of preparation and evaluation in terms of your career, because soon this will change. The emphasis is increasingly on cooperation and no longer on personal input, so you cannot ignore the other during this period. The focus in January 2023 is on love, career, home, family and relatives.
Love and Relationships
Saturn, Lord of Karma, will remain in Aquarius, Libra’s 5th House of Love, until March 7, 2023. It may be that from March 2020 (the beginning of Saturn’s cooling and confining transit in Aquarius), Libra has felt neglected or not given the attention it needs. In January 2023, the influence of sparkling Venus and the Sun in Aquarius creates a cheerful atmosphere, but there are issues this month that have to do with commitment, making romances, social contacts and love affairs difficult or have a sharp edge due to the disclosure of a secret or misunderstanding. Libra can then focus on healthy, solid love relationships and friendships. The New Moon in Aquarius of January 21, 2023 falls into the House of Love, Passion, Creativity and Self-Expression. This New Moon inspires and challenges you to live out your creative fantasies and break the routine! A new romance, fun activities with children, expanding your family or connecting with your own inner child is all possible. A new start for sincere, playful and sparkling passions, talents, hobbies, exciting encounters, love, everything you love, what your heart desires.
Family and Home
The year 2023 starts off auspiciously with Venus in Capricorn! Your planet Venus travels through Capricorn until January 3, 2023. The first week of January 2023 is all about decorating, cleaning up and reconciliation! The New Moon in Capricorn of December 23, 2022 in the 4th House of Family and House brings Libra back to basics, to your roots. Libra may travel in the second half of January 2023 in search of your home or to reconnect with family. Mars and Mercury are direct again from the second half, but you still have to take into account the slowing retrograde energy throughout the month of January 2023. There may be difficulties in communicating with your family and relatives and that will continue to be the case this month, especially with family abroad. You also have to take into account delays when you travel. In any case, Libra should take into account slowing processes at home, in your family or relatives in January 2023.
Career
The influence of the Partial Solar Eclipse in Scorpio of October 25, 2022 may affect your career in January 2023. There may be a delay, reorganization or postponement of a project. It is possible that you have applied or that a new job has been found or you have not been able to work due to circumstances. The Full Moon in Cancer of January 6, 2023 also underlines this energy. The Full Moon in Cancer of January 6, 2023 falls into your House of Career. Is there any doubt about the career path you chose six months ago? Taking a step back is good to be able to see the big picture. Try to keep work and private life separate, because your career should not take over your life. If there is power struggle and subterfuge, a burnout, being overworked, underpaid or unappreciated, you really need that time out to get a good picture before you start the next phase on your way to the top. It may be that in January 2023 a manager, colleague or customer, but you know how to hold your own with ingenuity and initiative. However, the pressure can become a bit too much and then it is good to distance yourself. In January 2023, the best results can be achieved for the Libra who works in the agricultural sector or infrastructure. Neptune in Pisces has been staying in the House of Work and Daily Routine since April 2011 and will also stay here in 2023. A spiritual and imaginative connection to the daily work where you can help others is therefore very important for Libra, also in January 2023. Preferably a creative job with not too many rules or where someone is constantly looking over your shoulder.
Finance
The influence of the total Solar Eclipse in Scorpio of October 25, 2022 (House of Finance) shows an improvement in your financial situation in January 2023 due to the arrival of financial opportunities, extra income due to a financial windfall, more work, project, bonus, assignments, winning lottery number or a lucrative hobby. During business negotiations and any communication about financial matters, leave no room for doubt. Stay sober and don’t make hasty decisions. Don’t let your cards look and do what’s right. Retrograde Mars in Gemini encourages Libra to generate more money or make a payment arrangement to pay off any outstanding debts. The North Node will remain in Taurus until mid-July 2023, so until then the financial situation will remain intertwined with the past and making things right. However, due to the influence of the South Node, there are also unforeseen expenses in January 2023 that cause your bank balance to fluctuate. Due to the influence of Uranus in Taurus in House of the Soul and Intimacy, there are ambiguities or unexpected events surrounding shared financial resources. Be careful when taking out a loan and seek advice in good time.
Health
The year 2023 begins with Mars retrograde in Gemini in the 9th House of Higher Consciousness. Until January 11, 2023, Libra can get defensive, get stuck in thinking too big, and have trouble remembering details. Libra must also take this retrograde energy into account for the rest of January 2023. Mars will remain in Gemini until March 25, 2023, during which time you will learn to be less angry and more objective. Good physical condition has a positive impact on your life and you will really notice that this month. Don’t listen to that nagging voice in your head and stay on track. Healthy food can also be very tasty! Stick to a schedule, because due to the influence of Neptune in Pisces (House of Health) you tend to skip a workout or a meal because you don’t have time or think you don’t have time. What could be more important than your health? Listen to your inner voice and keep thinking positive. Positive thoughts work both ways.
Advice
January 2023 is not an easy month for Libra. You can come under pressure and to avoid that unpleasant feeling it is good to distance yourself from people or circumstances that give you that unpleasant feeling. Don’t go along with it, but follow your own feeling.
