The energies for 2023 begin with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn conjunct Venus and Pluto. This signals a time of seeking the truth in regard to ideas and ideals, individually and collectively, for the human kingdom. There will be reviews of this energy later in 2023, when Mercury and Venus retrograde once again in earth signs, reflecting decisions and choices made now in regard to what is valued by humanity.

Mercury remains retrograde through January 18, 2023. It returns to station (its original retrograde point) on February 7, 2023, at which time the solidification of your choices becomes manifest in 3D in everyday life. With 2023 beginning and ending with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, the theme for the year will be what you value and what is truly important to you. Will you perpetuate fear and division in your life or discover ways to connect, cooperate, care, and empower your life and that of those with whom you link?
