*Mirror*, *Mirror* on the wall—bring *abundance* to us all

It’s been a few months since the new year began, and already 2023 is hyping up to be a more financially prosperous year compared to last. While no year comes without its ups and downs, you can expect 2023 to be the time for getting your financial life together—and we mean this in the best way. If you were struggling with finding fulfillment in your career last year and are craving change, 2023 is when you can prioritize new goals and opportunities. Open that new business. Finally start that side hustle. Or ramp up the savings toward those significant life milestones.
The Charts Don’t *Lie*
One of the most momentous transitions to kick off the year came from Pluto, the planet of destruction, death, and rebirth. On March 23, Pluto moved on from Capricorn and made its way back into the idealistic sign of Aquarius for the first time in 225 years. Because Aquarius rules intelligence, innovation, technology, travel, and the human collective, we can expect this time to be one of new discoveries and innovations that benefit us all. This transit will also encourage exploration and creativity in our personal lives as we shift away from what no longer serves us to focus on things that challenge us and inspire fresh ideas.
This year also highlights the movement of Jupiter, the planet of prosperity and good fortune, which makes three money-boosting connections we’ll all benefit from.
The first occurs on May 15, when Jupiter enters the fixed earth sign Taurus, where it will remain until May 2024. Taurus is already associated with abundance, steady income, and top-notch financial skills, so it’s a welcome combination encouraging consistency and hard work throughout the year. These slow and steady gains will most certainly pay off.
In its cozy stay with Taurus, Jupiter will also form an opportune sextile with Saturn from May 12 through July 18 and all of December. Because they’re both successful social planets, this sextile is a perfect time for making new connections, deals, and investments. In its final money-making move, Jupiter in Taurus conjuncts with the North Mode of the Moon from May 11 through June 21.

This configuration reminds us of the abundance in our natural world, one we shouldn’t take for granted. Because Taurus and Jupiter are both money signs, this can also be a period of economic expansion if you spend and save your money wisely. Take this time to plant seeds and allow prosperity to grow. Lastly, Mercury will go into retrograde four times this year, with each retrograde period around two weeks long. The Mercury Retrogrades fall in all three earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) before its fiery finale in Sagittarius—meaning earth signs will be most affected. Because Mercury is the ruler of logic, plans, and communication, you can expect interruptions with travel and business, miscommunication, and poor judgments whenever Mercury Retrograde rolls around. During this time, avoid making any major money decisions, including buying big-ticket items or negotiating new contracts.
