Daily horoscope for January 1, 2023

Welcome to the new year! Perfectionist Venus combines with transformative Pluto at 12:25 am EST, encouraging us to change the way we think about perfection. We might be being too hard on ourselves. The sensitive Moon then harmonizes with the powerful Sun, syncing our hearts and minds to grow our senses of self. When the Moon joins with free-thinking Uranus, change can solidify within us all. While allowing such shifts can be nerve-wracking, this should be a change for the better.

March 21-April 19

What’s right for someone else isn’t necessarily right for you. You may have been trying to improve your financial or emotional security, but the advice that you’re working off of is not helping you. This might be because you’re following someone else’s model. Even though it works well for them, you could end up struggling to keep up with their methods. Their solution might actually add new problems to your existing problem, so don’t feel guilty for trying a new strategy.

April 20-May 20

Pre-conceived notions might be holding you back from your full potential. You may have an idea of yourself that you’re holding onto, but when you grow spiritually, your sense of self can change in incremental ways, till it no longer matches the self you’re currently showing to the world. Gaining awareness of how others see you can be scary, but objectively recognizing your own blind spots should help you going forward. Try looking at yourself like a stranger, and see what you find.

May 21-June 20

Spiritual healing could be coming in quickly. Old wounds and fears may arise when you are reminded of past experiences — even a small reminder might lead you to react emotionally rather than act rationally. It could be difficult to hold yourself back from snapping suddenly, but do what you can to slow your response and figure out why you feel pulled to respond in such an intense manner. Once you know, you should be able to confront this memory and begin the healing process.

June 21-July 22

A sudden emotional response from a friend may spark all-new thoughts, particularly if this pal shows you more of who they are today — for good or for bad. This could look like someone actively confessing their true feelings, or you hearing about those emotions from someone else, which can be even more confusing. Being honest with them about how you feel, as well as being honest with yourself, might deeply change this connection. No matter what, don’t shy away from honesty.

July 23-August 22

Changing your routine could bring more success than you thought it would. You may have some negative habits when it comes to your ambition or organization, and a lack of dedication to these areas might be having an effect on your progress in your career or public persona. Acting disorganized or continuing to procrastinate may get you into a struggle that you weren’t expecting, but don’t despair. You can learn from any mishaps and move forward with fresh knowledge regarding what needs to change.

August 23-September 22

Your fun levels may be too low at the moment. It might seem as if you’re doing everything right and reaching your goals, but life isn’t all about productivity. Consider the amount of time you spend working — particularly if friends are trying to invite you out or a loved one keeps hinting that they want to spend more time with you. While working hard is admirable, you risk burning out when you spend all your time on the job. Live life to the fullest!

September 23-October 22

Close relationships and emotional connections can evolve in fresh ways. You may end up spending more time with your loved ones, especially family. However, you might also uncover surprising new information about them that you weren’t aware of before, or share things that you didn’t think you would share with them. Opening up and being more vulnerable with the people you’ve known for a long time is likely, even if you thought you were already close as can be. Be kind to each other.

October 23-November 21

Your method of communicating might need some slight adjustments. It’s possible that you’ve been hiding away in your comfort zone and not reaching out to your loved ones as much as usual. The people who care about you likely wonder what caused this reclusiveness, and updating them on your current life should be worth it. Even if it feels strange to be communicating with someone after some time has passed, they’re probably hoping that you’ll reach out. Don’t wait to take that chance.

November 22-December 21

A personal desire may shift at any moment. You might have been working toward a goal or pining after a certain award, hoping and working to get what you want. As Luna works with unpredictable Uranus, new information could make your point of view completely pivot. This desire could seem shinier and more attractive than the one before it — plus, it might also align better with the person that you are at present. Don’t be afraid to like something or someone new.

December 22-January 19

You could currently have the opportunity to be selective. Perhaps you’re noticing more people who are charmed by you with darling Venus in your sign! Even if you were usually the one doing the chasing, others may be chasing after you. This isn’t only regarding romance — friends, colleagues, and even authority figures may seem enamored with you. You might end up spoiled for choice, potentially having to decide between two job offers or pick between party invites. Think carefully before you choose!

January 20-February 18

An inner change might affect your outer comfort zone. As you work to heal yourself from any past issues, you may have realized that something that once was comfortable is now just weighing you down. Emotional attachments could be making it even more difficult to leave behind these practices or items. Adjustments made to your home can help to lift you out of your rut — simply redecorating should put you in a more beneficial state of mind. Freshen up your environment.

February 19-March 20

How you receive support from others could be changing. You might once have only reached out for support when you felt you really, really needed it, or even not known when to reach out. This could be from difficult connections in the past that left you feeling like a burden or a failure. Remind yourself that new connections can help you to break free from this pattern and show you the power of leaning on each other. Be a friend and make a friend.
