And yes, you could celebrate your birthday the entire time and have as many cakes as you want.
2023 asks you to take in as much pleasure as possible without guilt.
When 2023 begins, Mars, the warrior planet associated with raw and primal sexual energy, is retrograde.
That is, at least untilTuesday, January 12, when Mars goes direct.

When Mars goes direct, you may see a surge in your sex drive.
This time of year is great for advancing romantic relationships.
Others will take on the equally important task of ending relationships past their expiration date.
Just be aware that Venus is retrograde fromSaturday, July 22, toSunday, September 3.
With the influence of Virgo, a fellow earth sign, you experience grounding within your love life.
Expect to share secrets with lovers, crushes, or even platonic partners around this time.
2023 asks you to pour time and effort into your friendships.
Your chosen family is your foundation.
Rather than put pressure on your love life during Venus retrograde, make more plans with friends.
When Venus is retrograde, your love life may feel at a standstill.
There’s nothing wrong with that; it’s unrealistic to expect every day to contain forward romantic momentum.
Sometimes, it’s best to enjoy life as it is.
Remember this celebration when the winter holidays begin, and you may need a break orboundaries with blood relatives.
This doesn’t mean that you have to overwork yourself.
No astrologer can promise cash in this economy.
However, there are exceptions to every rule.
The biggest mistake people make when discussing your sign is using words like “lazy.”
When astrologers talk about health, they’re rarely speaking about medical problems.
Instead, health in astrology points to what you’re able to control.
One thing you’re able to control, is allocating more time for rest and relaxation.
This transit encourages you to check in with yourself.
While this is no cause for alarm, eclipses can be anxiety-provoking times, and leave everyone on edge.
Your hotness is in full force, and you should absolutely indulge in an autumn makeover.
You only want to have drama in one area of your life, and that’s beauty routines.
Enjoy the new look, and we’ll see you in 2023.
