While last year’s astrology offered you a sneak peek at the expansion coming your way, 2023’s doubling down on these themes in major ways. From Dec. 20 to May 26, 2023, Jupiter will be traveling through your first house of identity, bringing opportunities for personal growth to the forefront.
Jupiter, the planet of growth, opportunity, and optimism, returns to your sign for the first time in 12 years on May 16. This transit will expand on your desire for comfort, security, and satisfaction, so if you’ve been feeling stagnant, prepare to be propelled forward.
Venus, the planet of intimacy and romance, spends about four months in your sign in 2023. Beginning June 5, Venus will shift into your first house of self and identity, bringing the desire to embrace self-love, as well as your desire to be loved out loud by others.
Saturn, the planet of limits, boundaries, and discipline, will leave your first house of identity and self-expression on March 7, 2023. This is bound to feel like a weight’s been lifted off your shoulders — so embrace the surge in lighthearted energy you get.
On March 23, Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and extremes, will shift into your sign until June 11. While this will only be brief, you'll feel the impact of having Pluto in your first house. Prepare for big realizations during this time — you'll be feeling brand new.
On March 7, Saturn, the planet of structure, authority, and boundaries, will shift into your first house until Feb. 13, 2026. This long-term transit will bring up themes of self-discipline in your hopes, dreams, and ideals. If you’ve been in need of a reality check, here it is.
