What Your Horoscope Can Expect In Love, Sex & Career 2023
By Janelle Palibrk, Astrologist and Myles Gray Founder
The start of 2023 is going to be one of the worst we’ve had energetically. Mars and Mercury are both in retrograde at the same time, and with so much energy surrounding the New Year with manifestations and goal setting this astrological event can wreak havoc on every single person on the planet. Communication breakdowns will be evident across the festive season along with technology not being friendly. We all know Mercury Retrograde for wreaking havoc on technology and just making things not work out for us, Mars retrograde affects us all no matter the sign alignment, it can make us feel lethargic, tired, and passive.
