Couples
Love isn’t always smooth sailing for a fire sign like you, but at least your love life won’t be boring.
Love goddess Venus is spending time in your eleventh house of community and future hopes and wishes to start the year, Aries, so while you thrive on your independence, this transit makes it perfectly clear that your love life can benefit from the help of others this year. Making friends with a wide variety of people enriches your relationship and gives you a solid foundation upon which to build your future.
Healing asteroid Chiron spends another year in your first house, and because this powerful transit enables you to focus on important internal issues and self-healing, it can make you appear selfish at times. This duo can bring out some very deep wounds that you’ve never expressed to your partner, so your pain could come as a complete shock to them. It’s not your job to make them understand exactly where you’re coming from, but it would be helpful if you could explain enough so they won’t worry that it’s their fault.
And if you’re wondering whether there will be any time to focus on being together and just having a good time, you can look forward to the sun highlighting your house of fun and pleasure in late July, which gives you a whole month to enjoy each other. Fun summer activities to plan now are weekends at the beach, game nights with other couples and an intimate massage for two.
Singles
Things might not progress romantically at the fast pace you’d like them to all year, Aries, but love is in the air and being patient pays off.
As the year begins, the bright sun is shining and highlighting your friendship and networking zone from the end of January until the end of February, so making connections with people won’t be an issue. A relationship that starts out in the friend zone can always turn into more later. Building a love partnership based on a friendship can be quite rewarding, so try not to be disappointed if there aren’t fireworks right away. Also keep in mind that other people can be excellent matchmakers for you now, and letting friends, family and coworkers know the type of partner you’re looking for improves your odds of finding that person.
New moons are excellent times to find romance, and the new moon in your house of aesthetics in mid-May can be electrifying. You’re in search of someone who is beautiful on the inside and the outside now, and you can’t resist people who are indulgent when it comes to self-care. Is it too superficial to be attracted to someone who wears expensive designer clothes and scents? Maybe, but that’s what you’re into now, and you don’t see the point in apologizing for it.
Passionate Venus spends most of December in your transformation and sexuality zone, and mixing business with pleasure will be a very attractive activity now. If you’re romantically drawn to someone you work with, make sure that taking things to another level with them isn’t against any company policies. You love to take risks, but is some hot romantic action worth losing your job over? Probably not.
All About You
You’re a bold fire sign, but your year doesn’t start out with the bang you might expect. Your outgoing planetary leader Mars is retrograde in versatile air sign Gemini at the beginning of January, giving your personality a more easygoing, laid-back vibe than you’re used to.
Expansive Jupiter spends the first several months of the year in your competitive sign, however, so be sure to assert yourself. It’s time to expand your mind and go for the things you want. Truly believing you can reach your goals and dreams is what this special transit is all about. Other people can do it, Aries, so why not you?!
Wounded warrior asteroid Chiron is traveling with your powerful sign again all year, which helps you work on personal issues that have been holding you back from reaching your true potential. Your family life is extremely complicated in 2023, but this introverted transit can be a major part of your healing process. As a strong fire sign you don’t like to dwell on your feelings, but addressing your very real pain can have an amazingly positive effect this year.
And be sure to mark on your calendar the electric new moon and solar eclipse in your sign in mid-April, because it will be prime time for manifesting what you want this year. Things hardly ever turn out the way you think they will, but this is your chance to reimagine the f**k out of your goals and dreams. Think you can’t conjure up what you want from the Universe? These incredibly determined lunar events say “watch me.”
Career and Money
You like to make money fast and spend it just as quickly, but just like in love, this year is more about patience and moderation. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to boost your bank account, but don’t count on it happening overnight.
Saturn, the serious planet of power and ambition, continues to move along in your house of networking early this year, Aries, which encourages you to make new contacts everywhere you can. Schmoozing with the boss at a company event can lead you down an interesting career path, or chatting it up with the person next to you on a flight can land you a brand-new job opportunity (and a higher salary). Always stay professional, even in a party setting, but find a way to (tactfully) make your true intentions known.
Lucky Jupiter will be spending the first few months of the year in your confident sign, which helps you believe in yourself and your moneymaking potential. Forget about all of your past financial mistakes and start looking ahead. With expansive Jupiter in your first house of the powerful self, there’s no end to what you can do with this energetic force surrounding you.
Money goddess Venus pairs up with money-savvy Taurus from mid-March to mid-April, and this financially focused transit can definitely help you unlock your hidden moneymaking potential. You aren’t that big of a strategist when it comes to making and saving money, but this cosmic partnership shows you how slowing down and considering your long-term goals can pay off big time in the future. If you’ve been thinking about your financial security, this is a good time to finally do something about it.
