Welcome to 2023, Leo. This year brings the usual astrological annoyances, such as eclipses and Venus retrograde, but also abundant full moons and an epic birthday season. And, speaking of full moons, one falls in your sign early in the year, on Sunday, February 5. Full moons are powerful times. Sometimes, lunations can leave folks feeling anxious, but full moons also mark the completion of the cycle. Circle this one in your calendar, and look forward to putting an ongoing issue to rest, whether it’s wrapping up a project at work or ending a disagreement with your significant other.
Later, there’s a new moon and solar eclipse in Aries and your 9th House of Philosophy on Thursday, April 20. This transit may contain the aforementioned anxious energy. Eclipses are cosmic wildcards. They can bring swift change, prompt arguments, and leave us on edge. Because this one falls in your 9th House of Philosophy, you’re most likely to get into a fight with yourself. Work on grounding and self-soothing activities around this time. You’re hit with another new moon and solar eclipse, this time in Libra and your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday, October 14. The safe way to manage both eclipses is to stay in and use them as an opportunity to treat yourself to baths, snacks, and TV. You risk miscommunication and extra stress if you try to have serious talks or make big decisions during the eclipses.
You also want to avoid additional stress during your season, which runs from Saturday, July 22, to Wednesday, August 23. You are ruled by the sun, Leo, and represented by a majestic lion. It’s your responsibility to celebrate your birthday as much as possible. Not only do you deserve to have some fun, but so do your friends. Leos often inspire others to shine bright, especially during your season. Keep reading to learn how 2023 affects your love life, friendships, career, and health.

No major transits in the first few months of 2023 affect your love life, which is good news, as it indicates limited drama. As mentioned in the introduction, the full moon in your sign on Sunday, February 5, could put an ongoing issue to rest. The new moon and solar eclipse in bossy Aries on Thursday, April 20, is best spent relaxing to avoid arguments.
There is a part of you that craves passion. One of Leo’s ongoing tasks is to distinguish healthy lust for life from unhealthy chaos, especially in romantic relationships. So when Mars, the warrior of the gods, enters your sign on Saturday, May 20, be careful of picking fights with romantic interests. This energy is aggressive, and it’s your job to channel the mood in healthy ways, such as through fetishes and kinks or passionate vanilla-leaning lovemaking, rather than take on a combative attitude. Shortly after, Saturday, June 3, brings a full moon in Sagittarius and your 5th House of Pleasure, which brings sensuality your way, whether through solo activities such as relaxing baths or time with sex toys, or more hot sex with your partner.
