I don’t want to put a damper on the New Year energy, but 2023 will start with Mars and Mercury in retrograde. So be prepared for a very slow start to your resolutions, no matter what star sign you are. 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.
