Your Monthly Work Horoscope for January 2023
Your Monthly Work Horoscope for January 2023. Discover your Monthly Work Horoscope for each zodiac sign here.
Aries
The year starts with you wanting more acknowledgment at work, which for you means more money. Venus glides into Aquarius and the hopeful sector of your chart on January 2, making it a good day to ask for a pay increase.
However, Aries, you could be too focused on the amount of money you might get, comparing your salary to those of your friends and feeling a bit envious. You’ll feel this competitive sentiment when Mercury turns direct on the eighteenth.
The sun’s move into Aquarius on January 20, followed by the Aquarius new moon the next day, solidifies your professional vision. It could even bring a new title your way as well.
By the time the end of the month rolls around, you’ll be glad you pushed to get the raise you’ve worked hard for. In fact, your friends might be jealous of you now rather than vice versa. This could lead to you being the most successful member of your crew and the envy of your coworkers. Enjoy the fruits of your labors. You’ve earned it!
Taurus
This month could be an intense one for your career path and goals. Mercury’s planetary backspin, which ends on January 18, could delay situations from progressing as quickly as you’d like, but if you stay on course, you can be inspired and achieve greatness.
The sun shifts into Aquarius and the professional sector of your chart on the twentieth, giving you a chance to put the pedal to the metal when it comes to manifesting your desires, no matter how crazy they might seem to others. As long as you believe in yourself and your dreams, Taurus, anything is possible.
The new moon on January 21, encourages your network of colleagues to help you prosper and attain financial success.
Uranus turns direct in your sigh on the twenty-second to ignite a fire in your belly and help you align with your wildest passions. You’re an innovator, and it’s time to let the world see what you can do. You might decide to shift your professional goals or partner with another person or company in a business venture. You can make anything happen in your life, so lean into your hopes now.
Gemini
This is an interesting time for you, Gemini. The month opens with a bang as Venus moves into Aquarius on January 2, heightening your desire to succeed at everything you do. As usual, you’re inundated with many tasks and projects, but the main reflection presenting itself to you is how you actually feel right now. There are many emotional breakthroughs, and you could find it difficult to separate your work life from your personal life.
Mars turns direct on the twelfth, and you could discover that you’re unable to find the right words or make that pitch you’ve been obsessing over the past few weeks. There are plenty of incredible surprises waiting in the wings, though, and you might get a strong recommendation for a lead that can bring more connections if you play your cards right.
Mercury turns direct on January 18, and there’s a shift in your psyche that gives you a more mature perspective despite another’s inability to discern their own childish behavior. As busy as you are, you can help create a more peaceful working environment. An amazing dream could come true toward the end of the month, so keep up your amazing efforts!
Cancer
The year starts with a crash course in financial planning. It isn’t that you’re going broke, but you crave security and want to get your money situation in order. Once Mercury turns direct on January 18, you might have to start paying off college loans or credit card debt. The good news is that this transit can also bring a raise your way, which can help offset some of the pain.
The caution is that Mercury is forcing you to change your financial situation, which could take an unexpected hit when rebellious Uranus turns direct on the twenty-second. But that transit isn’t unlucky, so you could recoup your money and then some after the sun enters Aquarius on January 20.
Watch out for an unsavory business plan or investment that could be coming your way this month. It could result in scandal if you’re not careful to avoid a fishy situation involving your money or career. An offer might be hard to resist, but you should say no to it no matter what they promise. Just because a deal seems good on paper doesn’t mean it actually is. The new moon on the twenty-first can help you regain control over such matters if you’re ready.
Leo
There is a lot of intensity in the skies for you this month, Leo, and there could be unexpected changes in your career. The full moon in Cancer on January 6 doesn’t bring any magical solutions, but it does bring a strong indication of the career hopes, dreams, and goals you should accept and acknowledge in order to manifest your best possible life. This could be a pivotal period of growth for you as you let go of an old vision and embrace a new one.
The whirlwind doesn’t end when Uranus turns direct on the twenty-second. This is not a cycle in which you should go it alone. You’ve made plenty of connections over the years who have the perfect advice for you at just the right time. There is more power in a group effort right now. You might have to think more on your feet than you’d like and make spontaneous decisions. It's something your impulsive nature usually loves, but it could make you feel a little squeamish now, especially if you let any perfectionist tendencies get the better of you.

Virgo
January could be a roller coaster for your work partnerships, but you’ll get through it even if there are a few minor speed bumps along the way.
You might have to make a lot of big business decisions this month. Your evolution in general seems almost unworldly at times. Career opportunities bring a sense of déjà vu, mostly because the backward spin of Mars forces you to overcome past professional issues so you can move in another direction once the planet goes direct on January 12.
Mercury ends its retrograde on the eighteenth, and you might want to rethink your relationship with your coworkers and start working on new projects. Once the sun shines its light on Aquarius and the sector of service in your chart on January 20, you could feel more connected than ever to your colleagues, allowing you to work cooperatively as a team on projects.
The limitations of your team effort could come to light during the Aquarius new moon on the twenty-first. This luminary might make you want to work alone, but instead of avoiding or gaslighting your coworkers, be direct about the fact that you want to focus on yourself right now. You got this, Virgo!
Libra
The raise you’ve been longing for might materialize when Mars ends its retrograde journey on January 12. This influence is strengthened once rebellious Uranus ends its moonwalk on the twenty-second. This energy could bring unexpected twists and circumstances. For example, the raise might not be for the amount you want, or you could be surprised and get more. Whenever Uranus is involved, you should expect the unexpected.
Before Mercury’s planetary backspin ends on the eighteenth, you could be rethinking your relationship with your colleagues. Deception and ulterior motives could be unmasked. To be honest, Libra, this might not be the best time for you at work.
The sun moves into Aquarius on January 20, shifting a lot of your subconscious career goals to the forefront of your mind. You might want to change your role at work or take on outside projects to earn more and help others. You could opt to give your coworkers one more chance. Who knows? Maybe this time you’ll all get along.
Luckily, the Aquarius new moon the next day indicates that some networking can align you with new people who can help you get your groove back and rebuild trust.
Scorpio
The powerful full moon on January 6 appears in Cancer and your zone of professional contacts, which can serve as a barometer for your career in the months ahead. You might feel called to do an about-face in some aspect of your development. Someone or something could spark your interest and wake you up to new possibilities.
Financially, you could be thinking about making some moves and questioning if your novel ideas are going to work in the long run. Don’t rush your decisions. Take your time before moving forward. See how a speculative opportunity plays out before you decide to invest after Mars turns direct on the twelfth.
You could get offers from past connections during Mercury’s backward spin, which ends on January 18. You really don’t have to do anything other than be your amazing self, Scorpio, and maybe send that follow-up email to remind a client about your proposal or check in with your boss regarding new work opportunities.
Sagittarius
This month gives you time to consider the future of your financial wellness. You have to make some decisions right now, which could ultimately create shifts in your relationships at work.
The Cancer new moon on January 6 could inspire you to lean in to your intuition and assert your desire to ask for a raise. The caveat to asking for more money during this luminary is that it could start some drama among coworkers who envy your achievements. Before you try to defend yourself against their emotional behavior, take a step back and ask yourself if it’s worth the trouble. After all, Sagittarius, if you got the money you asked for and deserve, what difference does it make if their behavior is less than professional?
If it continues, you can take advantage of Mercury’s retrograde (which ends on January 18) to have a talk with HR and stop the gossip, glares, and drama. Don’t feel bad about protecting your emotional well-being. You have to ensure your own financial security.
Capricorn
The year starts with you making all the right moves to shift your career to the next level. The difference between this year and last year is you don’t have an immense amount of pressure on your shoulders. The energy in 2023 is lighter and more chill.
The Cancer full moon on January 6 can give you the motivation to get the ball rolling to make all the necessary changes to be successful (as long as you don’t let any fear from last year’s work drama hold you back). You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world, Capricorn, which is a long way from where you started.
The Mercury retrograde, which ends on the eighteenth, could make you unsure about your future moves and the direction of your career. But the Aquarius new moon on January 21 pushes you to take back your power and crush it at your job. Stay the course and you can work through any personal issues.
Aquarius
There’s a shift in your methodology this month as you evolve your world and expand your professional dreams. This could take you further away from your original professional vision than you thought, but you’ll also be enthusiastic about your career in a way you haven’t been before.
The Mercury retrograde, which ends on January 18, can help you work out all the kinks and bumps that inevitably will come while you move forward with your new professional endeavor. Just don’t be hard too on yourself.
The sun enters your sign on the twentieth, enabling you to openly discuss your dreams with others. The new moon in your sign the next day encourages you to put your dreams on paper and make decisions about how you want to manifest them in reality. If you believe in yourself, you can make anything happen. You’re on your way to greatness, Aquarius!
Pisces
This month opens with a financial reward for your hard work that you may have been worried about. You are so talented and have so much knowledge on many subjects, and it’s high time that you display these aptitudes on a larger scale. This is the momentum you need to help keep you on track. You now have the motivation to keep it moving even as the world goes through some major shifts. You could feel calmer than usual in January, and you might even feel deep in your soul that something is about to change for the better!
If you’ve felt shy about making the first move in any capacity, the shift of Venus into your sun sign on January 26 can help give you the boost of confidence you need. It isn’t easy to put your work out there and bare your soul to the world. In this case, you’ll be met with incredible love and major respect, which will last much longer than this month.
