Notable Transits of 2023:
Mars will station direct on January 12, 2023 in the sign of Gemini and will not retrograde again for the rest of the year. Mars will exit Gemini and enter Cancer on March 25, 2025. Mars will continue transiting through the signs direct and will not retrograde during 2023. Mars represents action, determination, desire, and vitality. To have the planet station direct for the remainder of year will be energizing.
Saturn starts the year transiting through the sign of Aquarius. Saturn enters Pisces on March 7, 2023, until May 24, 2025, and again on September 1, 2025, until February 13, 2026. During 2023, Saturn will be stationing retrograde on June 17, 2023, until November 4, 2023. This transit will be quite significant because of the length of time it takes Saturn to transit each sign and the effect it will have. Saturn rules karma, time, discipline, structure, limitation, and self-control. Saturn creates challenges and obstacles to build fortitude and endurance. Saturn’s transit represents a restructuring of the astrological house it transits. Neptune is the ruler of Pisces will be in the sign alongside Saturn. What you felt was solid in your life will be tested. The energy will pull you toward deep contemplation and soul searching. Religion and philosophy will be highlighted during this transit. Since Neptune rules imagination and Saturn represents structure, combining the energy harmoniously can make it possible to turn our visions into reality.
We start off the year with the North Node in Taurus and South Node in Scorpio. The axis will change to North Node in Aries and South Node Libra from Jul 18, 2023 - Jan 11, 2025. Lunar Eclipses will mark the end of the Taurus/Scorpio transit and Solar Eclipses will mark the beginning of the Aries/Libra transit. For the fixed signs and fixed sign natal placements there will be a relief. For the cardinal signs and cardinal natal placements, you will feel the transit more acutely than any other modality. If your natal north node is in the sign of Aries or Libra, this will be the focus of personal development in 2023 to 2025.
Apr 20, 2023 - Total Solar Eclipse @ 29°49’ Aries
May 5, 2023 - Penumbral Lunar Eclipse @ 14°57’ Scorpio
Oct 14, 2023 - Annular Solar Eclipse @ 21°07’ Libra
Oct 28, 2023 - Partial Lunar Eclipse @ 5°08’ Taurus
The axis of Taurus/Scorpio dealt heavily with finance and security. The axis of Aries/Libra is primarily focused on self and others - since Aries rules the house of self and Libra rules the house of partnerships. North Node in Aries transit will push us to develop our will, confidence, and independence. This energy will push us to put ourselves first and to be assertive, action oriented, and enterprising. In all partnerships the main issue that will be highlighted is dependence in all forms: independence, interdependency, and codependency.
Jupiter starts the year transiting through the sign of Aries. Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus on May 16, 2023 - May 25, 2024. Jupiter will station retrograde from September 4, 2023 - December 31, 2023. Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion and the houses ruled by Aries and Taurus in your natal chart will be the area where you see the benefit. Jupiter is the great benefic and brings luck, fortune, fate, synchronicity, expansion, and wisdom. The eclipse in April has the potential to be one of massive proportions given that Jupiter will be transiting Aries. It is a Total Solar Eclipse which represents an exponentially strong New Moon – the turning of the axis will be powerful. Taurus had a tough North Node transit with Uranus in the sign as well. Jupiter enters Taurus like a birthday gift in Taurus season, stays alongside you when the nodes shift in July, remains while the last of the eclipses in the fall complete, and stays until your next birthday season! The universe literally said: 1 year of Jupiter’s blessings & good luck for you! It’s a time for tangible gains, enjoyment, and comfort.
