Your January 2023 Monthly Horoscope Predictions Are Here (2024)

Uranus, the eccentric planet that rules Aquarius, went retrograde back in August of last year. When it did, all star signs were tasked with identifying the personality traits or desires you may hide from the world. When the independent planet goes direct on Sunday, January 22, it asks you to embrace parts of yourself — so, now that it is direct, let them shine bright. You'll be surprised to learn how positively those around you respond to your true nature.

You witness this firsthand when romantic Venus enters empathetic Pisces on Thursday, January 26. This transit brings a deepening of intimacy to all of our relationships. Furthermore, with the influence of emotionally mature Pisces, not only do you feel understood and seen by partners and friends, but you relate to others more efficiently as well. Enjoy the first month of 2023, and keep reading to see what it has in store for your sign specifically.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

January keeps the party going as you enjoy good times with friends, Aries. You may feel inspired to host a small get-together or dinner party during the new moon in homebody Cancer. You'll be more in the mood for partying, as well as sex and asserting yourself in the workplace, after your ruling planet, warrior Mars ends its retrograde and goes direct this month. However, considering Juno, the asteroid of commitment, enters your sign this month, romance may be the most significant thing on your mind. Read your full January horoscope here, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

January brings networking opportunities, Taurus. While astrologers can't promise money in this economy, thanks to blessings from abundant Venus (and a little help from your friends), January sees you making valuable connections, both professionally and personally. However, the stars also push you to speak up for yourself and vocalize your needs and desires. Asking is the first step to manifestation. Plus, when revolutionary Uranus ends its retrograde, you dive deeper into activism. Read your full January horoscope here, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

There's a full moon in Cancer this month, Gemini, which is an astrologically beneficial time to ask for a raise. However, as horoscopes can't predict cash flow, this transit also could see you coming to terms with and taking responsibility for a desire. Once the fighter planet Mars goes direct mid-month, you're feeling assertive. As a result, you're ready to stand up for your worth in the workplace, as well as own your sexual desires. Remember, Gemini, as long as they're consensual, they're perfectly healthy. Everyone, especially you, epic flirt, deserves the love and pleasure they crave.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Three planets (Mercury, Mars, and Uranus) end their retrogrades and go direct this month, Cancer. However, before they do, the early sleepy first days of the year are ideal for treating yourself to a makeover, so browse different haircuts or colors for inspiration. A full moon in your sign also asks you to carve out time from this busy money for self-care (and sleep). And, as extraordinary as you are at caring for others, when Uranus ends its retrograde, you're tasked with letting others pamper you. Read your full January horoscope here, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

2023 brings blessings to your love life early in the year, Leo. While other signs are resting up, you see date invitations, a deepening in your current relationships, or the joy of leaving a toxic situation. Cheers to you for standing up for yourself. Enjoy the attention, but if you need help with how to proceed in matters of love (or money), wait until Mars retrograde ends mid-month before making any significant decisions. Shortly after, Mercury also ends its retrograde. And, when the rebellious planet Uranus also goes direct this month, the stars encourage you to work on work/life balance.
