Taurus 2023 Horoscope

While to begin with it might feel like nothing has changed and if anything, you are more anchored to the past than the future, all that is about to change. For while you begin the year with Uranus not only still in retrograde motion in Taurus, which he has been since the middle of 2022 but with Jupiter having just returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart 11 days earlier, to resume the wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. Yet the fact that you are more focused on closing old doors means that this is in preparation for new doors to open. Uranus’ direct turn on 23rd January will be a chance to start looking to the future while still holding back. The fact that Jupiter has already spent five months in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart last year means that he won’t need to spend as much time here this time, returning to Taurus on 17th May to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion.

Jupiter will spend from 17th May 2023 to 26th May 2024 in Taurus, making this not just a year for major new beginnings but your biggest year for growth, expansion and major new beginnings in over a decade. If you have to spend some time closing old doors first, this will leave you more free to move on and not just embrace the future but a future that you get to design. While Jupiter will return during your birthday month, getting your new solar year off to a powerful start, Venus’ return to Taurus from 17th March to 11th April will be a chance to first spend time constructing your desires and expectations for the future. This is also an important year for home, family and/or property matters, with Mars not only returning to your home and family sector on 21st May for his first visit in two years, but it is while he is here that Venus will return on 6th June to begin her longest visit in our lifetime.

Venus will keep the focus on things close to home from 6th June to 9th October, with a retrograde turn in July keeping her here during the middle months of the year. This is also a big year professionally, with Saturn leaving your career sector on 8th March only to have Pluto, the planet of change and revolution begin to transition in just a few weeks later, for the first time in our lifetime. As with all the outer planets, this is not a sudden shift, with Pluto returning on 24th March but then retrograding back out again on 11th June. This is preparation for his return in 2024, where he will then stay for the next 20 years, building on from what Saturn has been laying down the foundations for since his return in 2020. It is then that Saturn will return to begin a three year visit to your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking.
