Welcome to January 2023, Aries, and happy New Year. In December, Jupiter, perhaps the luckiest planet of the zodiac, entered your sign, sprinkling plenty of glitter over your New Year's Eve plans. But if you decided that your ideal New Year's Eve party involved sweatpants and your couch rather than the club, that's just fine. In January, the social blessings from the stars continue. First up, on Monday, January 2, the loving planet Venus enters Aquarius and your 11th House of Friendship. Hopefully, you got some rest during the holidays. This transit indicates that your calendar will stay busy with fun times with friends during the early days of 2023.
However, if you need a night (or a weekend) to recoup, Friday, January 6, brings a full moon in Cancer, illuminating your 4th House of Home and Family. As a result, whether you're going to a friend's for a low-key dinner party or staying home with your pet and cozy pajamas, you crave comfort this weekend. For many of us, the holidays can bring up a lot of stress surrounding travel or blood relatives, so this is also a lovely lunation to reconnect with your chosen family.
Your ruling planet, warrior Mars, is retrograde when 2023 begins.
When 2023 begins, your ruling planet, warrior Mars, is retrograde. Mars is associated with the divine masculine, which we all contain regardless of our gender. (Venus represents the divine feminine.) As a result, Mars is the assertive sign of fighting and, well, you know. When it's retrograde, we may feel less aggressive than usual and more in the mood for cuddling than kink. But when the fighter planet goes direct on Thursday, January 12, expect your sex life to heat up. The next day, when Juno, the "asteroid of commitment," enters your sign, Aries, on Friday, January 13, your already hot sex life gets a gift of intimacy from the stars. Partnered folks should see a deepening within romantic relationships, and single and asexual Aries will feel the ongoing (and often even more critical) support of your platonic support system. Remember, friendships can also be highly intimate.

Aries Horoscope Predictions for 2023
All of your relationships should flow easier once messenger Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct on Wednesday, January 18. Shortly after, Aquarius season begins on Friday, January 20. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac and is often interested in big-picture issues. If you still need to get involved in activism, Aquarius season is the ideal time to do so. The day after the sun enters Aquarius, there's a new moon in the sign and your 11th House of Friendship on Saturday, January 21. Aquarius energy is about the community, but that doesn't have to mean global or national political affairs. Sometimes, the best way to help the world is by spreading love within your chosen family. Never underestimate the power of kindness and a healthy support system.
The rebellious planet Uranus ends its retrograde and goes direct on Sunday, January 22, after initially going retrograde in August. During the planet's backward dance, your professional life underwent critical changes. While no astrologer can promise money, especially in this economy, this may have seen you advancing at work or leaving a job. What matters is that when Uranus goes direct, you recognize your value, Aries. When the month begins to come to a close on Thursday, January 26, Venus, which rules money in addition to love and beauty, enters Pisces and your 12th House, sometimes known as the House of the Unconscious. This transit further helps you tap into your professional goals and how to manifest them. There's so much to look forward to in 2023, Aries, and see you next month.
