Year Ahead 2023

Slowly but surely through 2023 you'll be pulling away from a restrictive phase in your life when you were held back by old obligations and circumstances beyond your control. Financially and emotionally it has not all been easy but now you are about to embark on a new journey where you will have more freedom to express yourself and not feel so crowded. Your optimism will be high and as you look ahead you'll see rosy glows on the far horizon. Your friendship circle will be wide with interesting and enthusiastic new companions to keep your spirits high. They may not always be realistic but they will boost your morale. You won't avoid hard work or extra responsibility and will need to stay organized to gain the respect and recognition which are your due. If mistakes become obvious then fix them and move on. This is when you reap what you've sown in the past, the good and the not so great. After a few months you'll be happy to take time out to ponder and reflect, giving yourself a chance to get in touch with your innermost feelings and wishes. As you nurture yourself, you'll find your self-confidence grows and you'll be understanding of other people's problems. First you need to listen to yourself and then you can offer a sympathetic ear and be of help. After midyear you'll be keen to waken up your social life and find time for fun. If you are lacking love and affection then you need to give more. Hand out the compliments and hugs and they will come back to you.
