We start the new year with a Mercury retrograde in Capricorn that moves direct on the 18^th , while on the 12^th Mars goes direct in Gemini. On the 22^nd the planet Uranus also moves forward signally a time of optimism and collective responsibility. This is followed by a New Moon on the 21^st at 1 degrees of Aquarius making a sextile aspect with Jupiter which kick starts 2023 for many of us. However it is Pluto that is travelling in the last degrees of Capricorn before it enters Aquarius in late March. This combination can feel like we are all entering into a new uncharted cycle, but before the light we must embrace the dark and use our intuition to see what lies ahead , we have faced our deepest fears, now we must move forward together.
