There will be new energy and cosmic themes in the upcoming year. We asked Moon Gathering Astrology and Numerology Coursework author and master astrologer Shannon Aganza to foresee the coming year and provide horoscopes for each zodiac sign for the year 2023.

The major astrological transit for the coming year is Saturn's departure from its long-term transit between Capricorn and Aquarius, where it has remained since 2017. Saturn is the planet of structure, systems, governments, and regulations. This marks the conclusion of a period in which Saturn was strongly influenced by the driven, organized indications of the sea goat and water bearer for around five years. The ringed planet is now entering Pisces, which is dreamier and kinder.

Other cosmological changes will occur in 2023, such as Pluto entering Aquarius and Venus going retrograde in Leo during the summer. The largest energy change we'll experience, however, is the Saturnian transition into the watery sign of Pisces when looking at the year as a whole.

However, check your rising sign first.

Check your rising sign, which can differ from your sun sign (depending on the day you were born), before reading your horoscope and themes for the coming year. More so than your sun sign, Aganza explains, "this is what the ancients would refer to as your astrological "identity." If you haven't already looked into it, you might even discover that you identify more with your rising sign or ascendant (the zodiac sign that was on the horizon when you were born) than with your sun sign. The areas of your life that are impacted by certain astrological transits, such as the aforementioned Saturn transit into Pisces, depend on your rising sign.

Create a free birth chart, also known as a natal chart, by entering your birth time, date, and place on a website like Cafe Astrology or Astro-Charts.com to discover your rising sign. To produce a precise astrological birth chart, the timing is crucial and needs to be minute-by-minute precise. (The birth chart also reveals which planets were in each of your houses at the time of birth. Your health, finances, and other aspects of your life are represented by the houses.)

When you know your rising sign, read your year-ahead forecast based on both that and your sun sign, and choose what resonates.

Aganza has predicted core themes for each of the 12 zodiac signs keeping this in mind.

Face your fears, Aries
 

Saturn is going into your 12th house of self-sabotage, spirituality or the psychic realm, and, to put it simply, letting go, if your sun or rising sign is Aries, the fiery sign of the ram. Stay with us even though that sounds a little frightening. More than ever, she advises turning inward rather than directing energy outward. Now is the moment to engage in more serious introspection, confront inner demons and phobias, sort through old hurts, and "clean up" your mental and spiritual life.

According to Aganza, "if we are willing to put in the work, we can see where we are causing our own misery." Saturn is willing to guide you through this transit since the ancients considered the 12th house to be where Saturn found its "joy." Though challenging, going through this process enables you to significantly level up and get ready for the next Saturn transit, which will occur in your first house of self in three years. "At that point, you can rule the world!"

Find Your Tribe, Taurus
 

The Saturn shift will be felt by the Venusian bull of the zodiac, who will find that it facilitates a review of their social connections. According to Aganza, "you'll be yearning for a little more maturity and will want your friends to reflect this desire." This transit for Taurus people occurs in the collective 11th house, which is where friendships and friend groupings can be found.

What projects do your groups have? Do they support you and bring you joy and value? Do they assist you in pursuing your greater goals? It's time to realize the value of joining groups that share your values or interests. You might want to accomplish more than just attend to your personal needs, she says.

Spend time on your career, Gemini.
 

Saturn will be in your 10th house of career and public life for individuals whose sun and/or rising sign is the third sign of the zodiac, the humorous Gemini twins, giving you extra motivation and supporting your work ethic. You might be planning a career makeover, a promotion, a strategic business plan, or you might just be devoting more time to your job. Pay attention to Aganza's warning: "Recognize that any additional obligations or demands imposed upon you are worthwhile tracking to completion. It's a wise investment in yourself that will pay off in the future.

Investigate Travel
 

According to Aganza, the crab's sign, if you're a watery, nurturing Cancer, this year offers "a broader perspective of self." Saturn will enter Cancer's ninth house, which governs learning, philosophy, spirituality, long-distance travel, and your exploration of the immense universe around you. It's time to boost up your fundamental understanding, she says. "There is a drive to learn more and develop. To satisfy the want to view the world through the eyes of others, travel takes you to cultures other than your own. Time to plan a vacation!

Leo: Think about karmic relationships
 

ecstatic, fixed-fire In 2023, Leo, the cosmic lion, will experience some karmic balance. "The fixed energy of the Leo willpower meets its match, with a focus on knowing when to yield to another's authority and when to take the lead," claims Aganza. Take it as a cosmic reality check. Blocks are certain to appear when the ego is operating the vehicle. Knowing when to defer to someone with more expertise and when to take advantage of Leo's position of power to help others is a sign of true leadership.

According to her, Leos will either experience a strong focus on paying off debt or accumulating debt through investments that will eventually pay off.

Virgo: Examine Intimate, Serious Relationships
 

Saturn is currently in your opposing sign of Pisces, which will cause changes for thoughtful, methodical, mercurial Virgo. It's not always awful to have competition. In fact, this also indicates that Saturn will be moving into your seventh house of committed partnerships, which may indicate that an important relationship will become more stable. However, since Saturn demands work, you'll likely find yourself focusing on an already-existing or newly-forming connection, according to Aganza. Saturn, a rigorous teacher, provides you with honest feedback on the impression you make on others.

This suggests that Virgo, the editor of the zodiac, will become more conscious of how they are regarded in relationships this year, good, bad, and ugly, and Saturn is there to support them in making the necessary changes as needed.

Prioritize your health and well-being, Libra.
 

Saturn, who is concerned with enforcing justice, is pleased to sit on the Venusian scales of Libra, but what happens when Saturn moves into the boundary-less sign of Pisces? Saturn is currently transiting Libra's sixth house of health, daily routine, and job, which indicates that these facets of life are going to become much more serious. The cosmos is here to support you in 2023 if you're prepared to organise your daily life and job in a serious way, start a new health or fitness regimen, revamp your self-care, set up a medical plan, or do anything else in that category. Now is the time to emphasize your physical and mental well-being, advises Aganza, because Libra has a tendency to put everyone else's needs before their own.

Lighten up and enjoy yourself, Scorpio
 

Scorpios who are piercing and deep will find it difficult to let the little things go and allow in some lighthearted enjoyment. Your fifth house of creativity, enjoyment, projects, and children will be under the influence of Saturn. Having fun (or being lighter) is the lesson, according to Aganza, who claims that Saturn is the supreme "lesson" planet. "Creativity is accelerating! Saturn meets the unparalleled Scorpio gift of manifestation to provide creative undertakings roots and substance. And if you're on track with that particular strategy, you might receive a visit from a stork this year. Pregnancy might be a major theme for the next three years, starting right now, if it is acceptable.

Sagittarius: At home, feel secure.
 

positive and sage According to Aganza, Sagittarius experiences this Saturnian transit as being literally at home and with family. Your root system is in the glistening pools of imaginative Pisces, and Saturn will soon be moving into your fourth house of home and family if you are an archer. You may need to redecorate or even reorganize your sanctuary because the planet of structure and success is traversing this part of your chart. This might also be true of the body you name your own. Aganza adds that "an opportunity to invest in real estate or a chance to purchase a home could manifest in this cycle."

Capricorn: Pick Up a New Trade
 

Similar to Aquarius, Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn, may be a little more sensitive to a change in its ruling planet. This transit passes via your third house of interpersonal relationships and community from your second house of resources. For the past five years, Capricorns have been in a learning mode, according to Aganza. "At last, things are calming down. As you are currently in a cycle that encourages both written and verbal communication, it is safe to reflect on what was learned during this previous cycle.

Aganza claims that now is the ideal moment to take advantage of this fresh energy if you're feeling ready for some cerebral stimulation or enlargement. Consider enrolling in a class to develop a skill that supports your "new self."

Aquarius: Evaluate your values, skills, and resources.
 

Aquarians may exhale with relief as their ruling planet exits its electrically charged home and enters the following sign of the zodiac after the previous two and a half years. Additionally, it indicates that the ruler of your astrological sign is entering the second house of resources and values. Aganza inquires, "What do you truly care about?" "Now is a wonderful moment to focus on it. Additionally, you might sense a chance to nurture and develop hidden skills. The moment is right now to take care of these aspects of yourself.

The cosmic energy of 2023 could provide some major support if you've been missing the drive or ambition to get started on those budget spreadsheets and savings plans.

Pisces: Discover the Building of Your Dreams We have reached the 12th and last sign of the zodiac, the cosmic fish known as Pisces. Our mutable water sign, where Saturn will stay for the next three years, may be most impacted by this transit. Don't worry, but your life will feel more serious and responsible overall while Saturn is transiting your first house and you. You may truly require this. Aganza says, "This may come as a relief.

She jokes, "Pisces is not usually the most grounded person in the room." Saturn might therefore provide the sensitive Piscean with some much-needed stability. Your closest buddy during the next three years will be structure. She says, particularly when things aren't running in a systematic way, Saturn may help you rapidly pinpoint where flaws in the foundation may be. Therefore, if your life has felt a little disorganized, this structure is what you've been looking for.

"Life will magically fall into place if you respond to Saturn's feedback (and create more order)," she claims. You can gain from and get gifts from Saturn more than anybody else in the zodiac if you run into the challenge when things seem difficult. Sounds like 2023 will be lucky.
