Rob Benzini, a famous American astrologer, writer, poet, musician, and social activist. The main style is spiritual guidance.

In 2023, I invite you:

An impossible mission that plays out on the edge of your imagination: a heroic mission that inspires deep thought and noble passion, even if it triggers endless torture;

an extravagant dream that is just a little far-fetched;

a goal that expands your possibilities and opens your mind;

a wild hope whose pursuit makes you smarter and stronger, even if you never fully realize it.

Commitment to Yourself

Take a piece of paper and write, "To achieve the following goals, I am doing everything I can to attract all the help and resources I need."

Then write a manifesto that clearly describes the satisfying, growth-promoting experiences you most want in 2023, and be willing to work hard for them, and even change yourself if necessary to attract others.

Keep this magic formula under your pillow or in your wallet.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

“My life is the best omelet you can make with a chainsaw,” says flamboyant author Thomas McGuane. It's a clever way to sum up his tumultuous fortunes. At some point in 2022, you may be tempted to use similar metaphors to describe your own evolutionary story. But the good news is that the omelet you recently made with a chainsaw is ready to eat. I think you'll find it delicious. I believe it will nourish you for a long time. (Soon you can start making your next omelet, maybe without the chainsaw this time!)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

After meticulously studying the horoscope for 2023, I have come to a radical conclusion: You should tell the people who care about you that you want them to call you by your new nickname. I think you need to reinforce their ability and willingness to see you as a noble creature worthy of worship. I’m not suggesting you use the old standbys like “cute,” “honey,” “darling,” or “angel.” I prefer unique and charming versions like "Jubilee" or "Zestie" or "Fantasmo" or "Yowie-Wowie". Have fun with whatever nickname you like. The more the better.

Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)

If I were to choose a few interesting and useful projects for you to master in 2023, I would choose the following: Keep competing with yourself and surpass your past achievements. But at the same time, be extra compassionate to yourself. 2. Borrowing and stealing other people’s good ideas and then using them to create better results than they themselves wanted. 3. Get an emerald or two, or wear jewelry that features emeralds. 4. Increase awareness and appreciation of birds. 5. Don’t be attracted to people who treat you poorly just because they are unusual or interesting. 6. Upgrade your flirting and make it more subtle and interesting, while you make sure it doesn't violate anyone's boundaries.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

When she was young, Caroline Forché was a traditional poet focused on family and childhood. But she changed. During the civil war in El Salvador, she moved there and began writing about political trauma. Next, she lived during the Lebanese Civil War. She witnessed first-hand the suffering of military violence and the imprisonment of activists. Her creations increasingly reveal issues of social justice. Now 72, she is a well-known human rights advocate. Let her get your attention, and I'm not trying to suggest that you undergo an equally dramatic reinvention of yourself. But in 2023, I do recommend her as an inspiring role model. You will have tremendous potential to discover the deeper aspects of your life's purpose—and enhance your understanding of how to offer your greatest gifts.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Are the characters in Carlos Castañeda's book about shamanism fictional or real? It doesn't matter to me. I loved the wisdom of his so-called teacher, Don Juan Matus. He said: "Watch every path carefully and carefully. Try it as many times as you think necessary.Then ask yourself, a person, a question. Is this path loving? If so, the path is good; if not, it is useless. "Don Juan's advice will be perfect for you over the next nine months, Leo. I hope you'll post his words on your bathroom mirror and read them at least once a week.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Teacher and author Byron Katie says: "The voice within is who I married. My love is a place inside me where honest yeses and nos exist. "I happen to know that she was also married to a writer named Stephen Mitchell for many years. So she would have no problem marrying Mitchell and her inner voice. Based on the astrological omens, I invite you to propose to your inner voice. The coming year will be an excellent time to deepen your relationship with this key source of useful and divine revelation.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libra philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche offers advice that will suit you well in 2023. It's tough. It's demanding and intimidating. If you take it to heart, you will have to accomplish some small miracles that you may not yet have the confidence to try. But I have faith in you, Libra. That is why I have no hesitation in offering you Nietzsche ’s rant: “No one can build you a bridge on which you must cross the river of life. "There may be countless paths, bridges and demigods willing to take you across; but the price is pawning and giving up yourself. There is a road in the world that only you can walk. Where does it lead? Stop asking, just walk!"

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

How can you change the impact of the limitations you have been dealing with? What can you do to make it work in your favor as 2023 approaches? I encourage you to think boldly about these questions. The greater your courage, the better your luck. Here's another mystery to solve: What surrender or sacrifice will you make that will lead to a courageous breakthrough in an unexpected way? I have a feeling that's what's going to happen as you weave your way through the next few months, pursuing unexpected opportunities.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius Singer Tina Turner reveals: "My biggest beauty secret is to be happy with yourself." I hope you give this formula a try in 2023. I believe that in the coming months, you will probably be happier than ever—more at peace with your unique destiny, more accepting of your own undeveloped qualities, more in love with who you are deep inside, and more committed to treating yourself with the utmost care and respect. So, if Tina Turner is accurate, 2023 will also be the year your beauty looks go up.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

"I'm always homesick," writes author Sarah Addison Allen. "I just don't know where home is. There's the promise of happiness there. I know it. Sometimes I can even feel it. But it's like chasing the moon. Just when I think I have it, it disappears over the horizon." Capricorn, if you've ever had pains like hers, I predict they will be gone in 2023. This is because I want you to gain a clear sense of how you want home to feel, making it possible to find and create a place, land and community where you will experience a resounding sense of peace and stability.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Storyteller Michael Mead tells us, "Ships are always going off course. Anyone who has sailed knows this. Sailboats are going off course and making corrections. That taught me what life is all about." My interpretation of Mead's words is that we are never in a perfect position to move directly toward our goal. We continually deviate from the path we wish to follow with precision. This isn't a bug in the system; it's a feature. As long as we dwell on the fact that we are not where we should be, we will be distracted from the real work. So what about the real work? Constant revision. Aquarius, I hope you will make what I say here one of your core meditations for 2023.

Pisces: February 19 - March 20

There is a Chinese proverb that says: " Aim high and lofty ." A weak soul has a wish. "I guess this is true in the abstract. But in reality, most of us are a mixture of greatness and weakness. We have a little willpower and a whole lot of desire. However, in 2023, Pisces may make dramatic moves to strengthen your willpower as you abandon your cowardly desires. In my vision of your destiny, I see you using iron to strengthen your determination and perseverance.
