At a time when the planning horizon was reduced to a minimum, astrology became perhaps the most effective tool for controlling one’s own destiny. Knowing the difficult and energetic periods, you can plan the year in advance according to the rhythm of the planets. And make sure all plans come true in the best way possible.
According to astrologers, the year 2023 promises to be calm and peaceful. We will feel it at the end of March when the Astrological New Year arrives. However, we recommend that you do not take risks and seek the support of the stars so that the next 12 months will pass without major shocks.
Each year it is under the auspices of a certain planet. 2023 will be ruled by Mars, the planet of quarrels, conflicts and scandals, but also energy, resourcefulness and the desire to achieve the goal you have set. How the next year will pass depends only on the person: with the difficulties or the fulfillment of the set tasks. Well, so that it does not take all the power, it is important to plan it correctly and meet it less accurately.

Throughout the year, favorable periods alternate with unfavorable dates. Knowing this information, you can plan the time of important events. The correct distribution of energy during this time will help to achieve results in any area. Be as active as possible in good times and slow down on difficult dates so that you don’t waste energy on unnecessary activities that may not meet expectations in the future.
One of the most unfavorable times when it is worth stopping and rethinking your life is during the eclipse corridor. And there will be two in 2023.
Eclipse corridor April 13 – May 12
A solar eclipse will take place in Aries on April 20. With the second half, he will return to the topics of personal life and relationships. The main lessons to be learned from this period are to understand what is important in love. Knowing the whole spectrum of emotions: from bright passion to a calm family life. This will help improve relationships in a couple or meet a new partner. However, Aries will feel this eclipse the most, it is important for them to avoid hasty and hasty decisions. In addition, a difficult period awaits Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. It is also important that they distribute the energy properly and evaluate the situation before changing anything.
And on May 5, there will be a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. It will affect mental comfort and increase the level of anxiety. The main task of this period is to develop emotional intelligence and learn how to manage your mood. In no case do not lose your cool and do not let the heat of the moment be caught in your emotions. Scorpios will feel particularly strong mood swings. It will also be difficult for Taurus, Leo and Aquarius to keep emotions under control.
Eclipse corridor Oct. 7 – Nov. 4
On October 14, there will be another solar eclipse in Libra. It will teach you to react quickly to ongoing events and keep up with life. If you manage to cope with the pace of change, you will be able to maximize potential. Libra will be the hardest thing during this period, so it’s especially important for them to be in the flow and keep up with the times. Also, a difficult period awaits Aries, Cancer and Capricorns.
On October 28, the Aisle will complete the lunar eclipse in Taurus. At this time, you want special comfort and a beautiful life. The eclipse will teach you how to create comfort in life and surround yourself with pleasant things. If you manage to ground yourself and organize the space properly, it will be easy to deal with the emotions and anxieties of this period. During this period, it will be difficult for Taurus to balance. Also, mood swings await Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
Mercury retrograde
In 2023 we will experience four periods of Mercury retrograde, one of which will begin at the end of 2022 and continue until February 7, 2023.
We will meet him for the second time in the spring – we will say goodbye on April 13 and May 31.
The next meeting will be held closer to autumn, from August 15 to September 30.
But the last period of Mercury retrograde will begin on December 5 and end as early as 2024.
In simple terms, the retrograde motion of the planet is a period in which it slows down relative to Earth, and this is definitely having a strong impact on people’s lives. The person may have communication problems with expressing their own thoughts. Negotiations, trips, deals, paperwork are lagging.
It is not recommended to start important things and start new projects, as the result may not meet expectations. It is not recommended to make large investments, plan trips or move on to a new job, as there will be many previously unknown obstacles or situations.
Retrograde Venus
This year Venus will be retrograde from July 20 to September 6. Leos will feel the strongest influence on themselves, as well as Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius.
Questions of love will come up. Despite a strong marriage, one will feel very lonely. Although they were happy in a relationship yesterday, someone will be confused and want to break up with their loved one. Someone will lose confidence in their own attractiveness, ignoring the number of compliments and new acquaintances they receive.
During this period, it is very important not to make fatalistic decisions and not to shrug. You should also not enter into a new relationship because you are very likely to be disappointed in your own choice in the future.
retrograde Mars
We are already feeling the effects of Mars retrograde, which started in October of this year and will continue to “move backward” until January 17th.
What is he saying? A lot of energy will be wasted. We make more fuss but there is no result from our actions. I want to hold on to several things and be Napoleon at the same time, but in the end, none of them come to an end.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are most affected by retrograde Mars.
Be careful, plan things and calculate your strength. The best work will be regular sports, which effectively restore the spent resource.
Retrograde Jupiter
At the end of summer, on August 31, Jupiter will go retrograde and will remain in this position until the beginning of 2024. The moral theme will come to the fore in this period and will become heavier and more noticeable. It is an important period that allows one to focus on one’s own abilities. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will especially feel the influence of Jupiter.
Retrograde Saturn
The main influence of retrograde Saturn will be on the planning area. Meeting deadlines and closing any deals will be more difficult. However, this is not an excuse, on the contrary, you need to approach time management issues carefully.
Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will go through the toughest times. So stay in your diary, write down all your plans, set alarms and reminders in order not to disappoint others during the period of 13 May – 8 November.
Retrograde Uranus
Next year, the period of Uranus retrograde can be felt twice: from August 20 to January 26 this year, and from August 25 to January 31, 2024 next year. At this time, the desire for freedom will be especially fierce. This will be the main driver of change. I want to drop everything and start life from scratch. However, do not make hasty decisions on impulse. Imagine being able to destroy all that has been created over the years in one fell swoop. Then you have to make great efforts to restore the old stability. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will feel the strongest desire for freedom.
Retrograde Neptune
The retrograde Neptune period will take place from May 26 to December 10 and will be marked by a multitude of illusions in all aspects of life. People will see the world through rose-colored glasses and will not be able to adequately assess situations. At this time, it is important to assess the situation reasonably, not to rely on people’s words, and to fix all agreements on paper.
Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will be most affected by Neptune retrograde.
Retrograde Pluto
From April 28, the period of Pluto retrograde will begin and will last until mid-autumn – October 14. This is when you want to achieve your goals in any way. People will not realize that their actions put pressure on others during this period. It will be especially difficult for Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, Cancer and Libra right now.
