Welcome to 2023, a year that will bring some momentous planetary shifts. From changes to your money and spending patterns to a huge balancing act for relationships, 2023 is not a “business as usual” kind of year. Be forewarned however, 2K23 will be kicked off with more burden than bang as two planets will be retrograding when the clock strikes midnight. With both Mars, planet of desire and drive and Mercury, planet of communication and exchange back spinning until January 8 and 12, respectively, the first weeks of the new year may not be super conducive to a fresh start. Fear not, let’s get the drudgery out of the way first so we can saunter into brighter days ahead.
With some major planetary shifts afoot, including death daddy planet Pluto transitioning out of shrewd accountant Capricorn and into star man Aquarius, major change and a dash of chaos are on the horizon. Fun.
