Saturn Has a Reducing and Stabilizing Effect At First

Saturn is the planet that limits and restricts, which is why we must muster a lot of self-discipline and self-control to overcome problems. With favorable aspects, however, it also provides stable conditions and good life security permanently. Saturn is in the Zodiac sign Aquarius in 2023 from 1 January - 7 March  and then in Pisces from 7 March - 31 December .

Saturn in Aquarius

Saturn continues to be in its sign Aquarius for the time being, which is why a conjunction is formed with the Sun of Aquarius. Obstacles and delays are, therefore, still to be expected. Saturn also weakens our life forces . Why? Because it is in line with the Sun and drains its vital forces. Therefore, it is advisable to take it easy, or have a positive attitude, so that you can largely compensate for these temporary weakenings with a lot of optimism and self-set pleasurable actions. Giving oneself more is also a good way to counteract this, as it also increases vitality.

Saturn in the 1st Solar House of Aquarians

Saturn is also in the 1st solar house of Aquarians. This is the house of the ego, vitality, physical appearance, and of self-expression. It is how others see us. So, all these areas want special attention at this time.

Saturn in the Sign of Pisces

When Saturn moves into the sign of Pisces, the angle of a neutral 30 degrees is formed, which can also be called a learning factor, as positive events may occur that you are happy with, but perhaps also challenging ones that have to be dealt with.

Saturn in the 2nd Solar House

In addition, Saturn is then in the 2nd solar house of Aquarius during this time, the house of money, possessions and values, available resources, self-esteem, desires and one's own talents. So, all these areas also want special attention at this time.

With Uranus, You Have to Expect Changes

Uranus is the planet of individuality, suddenness, revolution , independence, and progress. It always makes itself felt unexpectedly, either in a pleasant sense or not at all according to our expectations. He stirs things up when he sees fit, and as far as we are concerned, we must then try to master the situations that come our way through possible changes .

Uranus in the sign Taurus

Uranus and Taurus still hold hands through 2023. As the sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus, the areas of relationships and finances are also affected. For those born in Aquarius, there is now the angle or aspect of the square towards their Sun , which is why it is to be expected that there could be conflicts in the areas indicated, which would then have to be resolved in terms of positive future development. However, if everything is fine at present, then no conflicts will arise.

Uranus in the 4th solar house of Aquarius

In addition, Uranus is in the 4th solar house of Aquarians, the house of the family, origin, childhood, the mother, tradition, the private sphere and of one's own home. All these areas also want special attention at this time. Don't be surprised if you start craving exotic and different dishes that you want to experiment with and cook in the kitchen this year!

Neptune Expects Charity

Neptune is the planet of charity, divine love, intuition and sensitivity . On a low level, however, it is also the planet that causes deception, lies, crazy fantasies, false illusions, chaos, mess, disappointment, self-deception , greed, and deceit. And it is also responsible for all addictions because these ultimately have to do with escaping from reality and self-deception.

In 2023, Aquarius can use its independence to motivate itself and others and to overcome challenges.

Neptune in Pisces

Neptune continues to be in Pisces in 2023, forming a 30-degree angle to the Aquarian Sun. This aspect can be called neutral, as experience shows that good, as well as perhaps inhibiting, situations can arise. This is why, for example, Neptune's favorable qualities will come to the fore this year if you also work on his behalf. Charity, after all, does not come by itself, but one must make a strong effort for it and, therefore also be willing to make sacrifices. But if this is the case, Neptune will also be there with his gifts, e.g., valuable inspirations.

Neptune in the 2nd Solar House of the Aquarians

In addition, Neptune is in the 2nd solar house of Aquarians, the house of money, possessions and values, available resources, self-esteem , desires and one's own talents. So, all these areas also want to be paid special attention to during this time. It will be very important to work on your self-worth, value and esteem this year!

Pluto in 2023 Warns Against Confrontations with Powerful People

... or circumstances, but also offers opportunities for development . Pluto is the planet of power, radical transformation, and also of passion. It can make people obstinate and stubborn, but it can also interest them in the mysterious, mystical, occult, and the magical . Pluto continues to be in Capricorn from 1 January - 23 March.  From 23 March - 12 June  then in Aquarius , and from 12 June - 31 December,  due to retrograde again, in Capricorn .

Pluto in Capricorn

Pluto remains in Capricorn for the time being, and therefore forms the 30-degree angle to the Sun of Aquarius, which is why positive effects and perhaps also inhibiting effects can be expected at times. Its effect can be positive in the professional, as well as in the private sphere. Should you encounter confrontations , it is advisable to yield diplomatically , because Pluto in the opponent will always be more robust.

Pluto in the 12th Solar House of Aquarius

Moreover, during this time, Pluto is in the 12th solar house of Aquarians, the house of Neptune, and this is the house of retreat, prayer , meditation, sacrifice, and reflection on oneself, which is now recommended to Aquarians. For them, too, rest and contemplation are now necessary to keep body, soul and spirit in balance. And the sooner this is learned, the more lasting the effect will be on the stability of health.
You will also need to be aware of the trust you put in people who have power and authority over you, as they could be hidden enemies and may gossip about you or betray and stab you in the back. Therefore, be very careful around authority, especially at work, and don't divulge too much to your seniors. 

Pluto in your Own sign Aquarius

When Pluto then moves into your own sign Aquarius, the angle of the conjunction is formed, and this means that direct power confrontations  if they should affect you, should now be met with diplomatic responses . Otherwise, you will lose out. Pluto is the planet of violence, but it does not reckon with clever answers, and you therefore neutralize its influence.

Pluto in the 1st Solar House of Aquarius

Also, during this time Pluto is in the 1st solar house of Aquarius , the house of the ego, vitality, physical appearance, and self-expression. So, all these areas want special attention during this time.

Pluto's Retrograde

When Pluto moves back into Capricorn because of its retrograde, and thus again into the 12th solar house of Aquarius, it again forms a 30-degree angle. However, the meanings of these constellations have already been described above.

Jupiter is Generous at First

In 2023, Aquarius can use its creative power to define long-term goals and plan concrete steps to achieve them.

...then he demands a sense of reality from the Aquarians . Jupiter, the great planet of luck, stands for growth and expansion in all areas of life as well as for happy circumstances that seem to come of their own accord. When there are tense aspects with Jupiter, we should beware of cockiness, exaggeration, presumption, and overconfidence. But above all, we should beware of over-optimistic and over-dimensioned decisions because then the thing with growth could turn into the opposite, and we could suffer due to debt! Jupiter is in the following zodiac signs in 2023: 1 January - 17 May in Aries  and 17 May  - 31 December in Taurus .

Jupiter in Aries

When Jupiter is in Aries, a positive angle is formed for the Aquarians, which is why Jupiter again shows its pleasant side, which is wonderful and should be gratefully recognized and used.

Jupiter in the 3rd Solar House of the Aquarians

Jupiter is also in the 3rd solar house of Aquarians, the house of communication, siblings , neighbors, knowledge, language, versatility, short journeys, vehicles and transport. Therefore, all these areas want special attention at this time.

Jupiter in the Sign Taurus

When Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus, however, a challenging square is formed, and this means that one should now beware of all exaggerations and over-optimistic decisions . Realism is the order of the day, so keep your feet on the ground. If you keep this in mind, you can also count on Jupiter's beneficial encouragement during this time.

Jupiter in the 4th Solar House of the Aquarians

Jupiter is also in the 4th solar house of Aquarians during this time, the house of family, origin, childhood , motherhood, tradition, the private sphere, and one's own home. All these areas also want special attention during this time. You may enjoy expanding on your garden or bringing more plants into your apartment or home. However, with the square formed, you will need to take extra good care of them and make sure they are not poisonous to any of your domestic pets who may want to chew on, and swallow, them!
