Leo – January 2023

The Sun brings warmth and focus to your 6th house this month bringing your attention to order and organization. 

Streamlining your schedule and improving time management are great areas of focus at this time. Working smarter instead of working harder will carry better outcomes now and strategizing ways to do this can be very fruitful at this time. 

Notable occurrences at the office could come up and for both those who are self-employed and those in an office or other employment setting. Issues or opportunities with some link to the past are more likely now. 

Employment may be a hot topic at this time. If changes or uncertainty come to your work place, hold open the idea that any changes that come now, even if they feel unwelcome, could place you on a path for greater happiness and fulfillment in the longer term. Your resourcefulness has a chance to soar tremendously at this time and will be amplified the more you focus on it.

Clearing clutter and bringing coherence to your outer and inner realms will be time well-supported at this time.  Something fun you can do is play my “Ten Things” game.  I created this to help me clear clutter.  Every day for a certain amount of time I committed to in advance (1 week, 1 month, etc.) I would make the agreement with myself that I would just have to deal with 10 things that were sitting around out of place.  What I found (as you may find) that once I got started (which seems to be the hardest part), I would go well past dealing with only 10 things as momentum was built from the minimum commitment. This is a great exercise when you feel unmotivated, overwhelmed, or are crazy busy 🙂

Speaking of ‘exercise’, the Sun is accentuating your house of exercise and other health regimens this month, too (also 6th house affairs). This energy will likely highlight exercise regimens, diets, practitioners, treatments, routines, etc.

New health issues or ones from the past may resurface now or become more obvious to give attention to. You may make some important health discoveries or find solutions at any time this month.  This is a time when diagnostics and other things to get down into the details of your health, healing, and exercise and diet regimen come into the forefront. Stress management may come into the forefront as a necessity or as a preventative measure. You may be drawn to make healthy lifestyle changes now. 

The 6th house also rules pets and some other animals so you might find yourself focused in that area of life.  A pet may need some attention at this time or you may have more time or interest in focusing attention to your furry or feathered ones.

January 2023 brings a BIG BURST OPEN into a NEW YEAR but it may take a few weeks into the new year to really start to feel things revving up and moving forward. Mars and Mercury go direct this month and as they do, more clarity, ambition, zest, and certainty about present and future plans can start to arise. By the end of January, we are making our way into the most open period of starry connections in the whole of 2023. February through early April is a magical time when any progress that seemed slow for many months, can race forward at top speed and positive changes can occur surprisingly quickly.

We have a break from the heat of the Taurus/Scorpio eclipse seasons and tons of sweet aspects to celebrate in January.

Capricorn energies dominating in the first half or so of the month can bring great focus and powers of perseverance. If you have to do something tedious any time soon (like taxes!), now could be a great time to harness the diligence you need to get numbers in order. If you are wanting to take on something else that requires organization or persistence, these Cap energies can help. Getting down to business and taking care of practical matters is another great way to use these energies. You also may be putting the final touches on a MAJOR launch or some other major chapter is about to begin and you can use this energy to help you take care of the strategic parts of the project, making sure all is ready for the push forward that is about to occur.

Strong Aquarius energies bring in important connections with others and community efforts. Internet-based activities may start taking center stage and networking can yield especially amazing results.

Mars in Gemini brings fun relief in your busy schedule and just enough distraction for you to return refreshed to your list of things to do. If you are a writer or are otherwise creating spoken, written, or other crafts, you will be highly creative and soar through your projects. Working in short spurts might help you to be the most productive. Now that Mars is going direct, topics you have been vacillating about may start to become more clear as to which option to choose.
