Here We Go, 2023!
As I am writing this, the year has already started. Did you feel a shift when Mars left Gemini and entered Cancer on March 26th? That same day, Pluto dipped into Aquarius. You might be wondering: what does this all mean? And what does that mean for me?
Well, if you know your rising sign, I can give you some tips for the basic transits (meaning the stars in the sky that are active this very moment and how they may impact you generally knowing the sign that was on the eastern horizon at the time when you were born). It is always fun to track which planets can affect you more than others. I find Cancer risings are most affected by the Moon because the Moon rules Cancer. So it is probably a good idea for a Cancerean person to track how the moon affects them every couple of days because that is how fast the Moon moves through the Zodiacal sky! Once you know what rising sign you are, find out the ruler of that planet (Sun rules Leo, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius) then track that planet! Instead of going through all the rising signs individually, email me and I can send you your personal transit list using the following example as a template for Leo risings.

Leo Rising (Ascendant)
Mars retrograde in Gemini ENDS (Jan 12): this is affecting your 11th house. Maybe your friends are knowledgeable or your community offers some aspects of yourself you did not know before; or it becomes more clear now.
Saturn enters Pisces (March 7): this affects your 8th house of shared resources (also the house of debts, taxes, client’s money). Although Saturn brings limits, it can also bring a restructuring of how you go about these topics. You have the next 3 years to figure that out.
Pluto enters Aquarius (March 23): this affects your sun! People have described a rebirth of who they are during this period; as well as deep transformation.
Jupiter enters Taurus (May 16): Jupiter brings gifts to your 10th house! This energy goes big and doesn’t always worry about getting home. You may take on too much at this time, or you may be implementing too much change at once. It’s okay to scale back and take a look if those efforts are well used. What you learned about Jupiter in Aries time will remind you of that.
The lunar notes enter Aries and Libra (July 17): the nodes move from your angular houses (big impact) to your 3rd/9th house access of trips, education, philosophy, neighborhood…you may see some changes there, especially around eclipse time.
Venus retrograde in Leo: (July 22-Sept 3rd) Venus in your ASC sign is a wonderful feeling of being beautiful and you may find yourself spending more time on what makes you feel good, especially since Leo rules the Sun and it is in Aquarius: your spunky self that doesn’t follow the rules but loves being social.
