You are done romanticizing toxicity.
By Kate Rose — Written on Jan 01, 2023
Each zodiac sign's 2023 love horoscopes are here with predictions for January through the month of December.
In the year ahead, healing is the major theme in your romantic relationship.
At one point, being emotionally unavailable was attractive.
The toxic rollercoaster of highs and lows seems illustrious and intense; maybe you tried your hardest to get someone who refused to commit to being with you in hopes of validating all your insecurities.
But that was last year, and now it is 2023—a year ruled by healing, and when consistency, stability and vulnerability have become the new sexy.
It is a period with higher standards, and emotional regulation will have you feeling butterflies instead of the lover who leaves you on read.
The best thing about the year ahead is that you no longer answer that call from the past – no matter how great the sex was.
Because you have grown, you have healed, and you now understand exactly what you are worth, and you are done settling for less.
Most romantic dates of the year:
January 12th
Mars, the planet of action, passion and intimacy, turns direct, allowing you to move ahead in your relationship.
January 22nd
Uranus, the great awakener, turns direct, allowing greater change and transformation and kickstarting a period until April 21st when all planets are direct, allowing for focused movement towards the future.
March 7th
Saturn turns into Pisces after two years in Aquarius. Boundaries become blurred, and it is through love that you will learn the greatest lessons. Spiritual connections become more important during this time.
March 23rd
Pluto is the planet of transformation, sex, and rebirth. Since 2008 Pluto has been in Capricorn, but as it takes its first dip into Aquarius, you will feel greater freedom in creating a life and relationship that truly fulfills your needs, regardless of what others may think.
March 25th
After seven months in Gemini, Mars finally turns into Cancer. The final lessons of last year should be complete now, and you should feel freer to step into a greater love with yourself and your partner.
April 20th
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries begins an emerging new eclipse cycle to help you be able to charge forward just before the first official retrograde of the year begins tomorrow with Mercury.
May 5th
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio brings an end to themes that have been active since 2022, helping you to understand what emotional consistency means in your romantic relationship.
May 19th
There is a landmark stellium of planets within the earth sign of Taurus. A stellium represents an enormous collection of planets within one sign, bringing more focused energy. In Taurus, it is about both stability and pleasure.
July 22nd
Venus turns retrograde in Leo, reminding you of the importance of teaming up with your romantic partner. You may reflect more deeply on the opportunities for love that you’ve both taken and missed so that you can embrace more of your inner warrior regarding love.
October 14th
The annual Solar Eclipse in Libra is a momentous "ring of fire" event. This will highlight the themes of balance within your relationship and those within yourself, providing some surprising events and breakthroughs.
October 28th
The full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus will wrap up the eclipse season for 2023 and help bring the ultimate lessons of the Scorpio/Taurus axis to fruition. This is understanding that consistency and stability feed chemistry and long-lasting love, not the rollercoaster ride of a relationship.
