Lisa Stardust, astrologer and author of The Love Deck, notes that the retrogrades of 2023 are all happening in earth signs, except for the last retrograde that moves from Capricorn to Sagittarius. “The overall theme is to urge us to find better ways to save money and embrace our self-esteem,” she says. “The focus on earthly matters will urge us to escape our comfort zones and to embrace fresh ideas. It’s time to move forward and to invest our creativity and money in situations that can grow.”
