Asteroid Juno is about to leave Pisces on January 13th 2023, after being in this sign for almost 9 months. It'll move into fiery Aries. What does this do for us? About Juno in Astrology
Juno is an asteroid in astrology, and there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and each connects to something different. Many are simply names, but some like Amor connect to specific energies.
In the case of asteroid Juno, this is the asteroid of commitment. Juno shows how we express commitment and our attitudes around it, and in transit, we can see this via the Zodiac sign Juno is touring, and the natal house it's touring in your natal chart. Impact of Asteroid Juno in Aries 2023
Juno spent a prolonged period of time in Pisces thanks to a retrograde in that sign, and Pisces is a flowing water sign. It ebbs and flows, it's romantic and dreamy, so we may have had a dreamy approach to commitment over the last 9 months, and preferred fantasy to reality.
Aries is a take-charge fire sign, and wants to take the initiative with commitment. Juno in Aries may prompt many people to jump at the chance to commit (to people, relationships, projects, or otherwise). And we can be quite enthusiastic about it! The downside is, we may not think it through fully before jumping into it. We need to slow down a little and make certain this is the right call. If we can be smart about it, then this can be good energy to help us commit, especially with people, relationships, or projects where we've waffled in the last 9 months. We may have thought about doing it, but we just didn't feel motivated to take the step. Now we do! We may see commitment as a brand new beginning, which it is, so that's a decent attitude. Instead of being scared of that, we can find it exciting. Juno tours Zodiac sign Aries for almost 2 months, from January 13th to March 11th 2023. Important Juno in Aries Aspects:
Juno in Aries is going to make two important conjunctions (alignments). One is with Jupiter early on, on January 22nd 2023, and Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so this can expand on commitment energy.
It may seem like everyone and their mother (and their mother's mother!) is committing to something around this time. And we're all so thrilled about it! With Jupiter, it might even open up new doors for us. The second conjunction is with Chiron in Aries on February 7th 2023. Chiron is the wounded healer in astrology, connecting to our greatest wounds, but also our healing abilities. Juno conjunct Chiron can show two things. One, commitment ends up wounding us; or two, commitment ends up healing us. Which it'll be likely depends on how impulsive we are about commitment. Juno in Aries is also going to square (challenging aspect) Pluto in Capricorn on March 11th 2023, and this is with both at the anaretic degree. There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, and 29 degrees is the last degree, and is called the anaretic degree. It's a point of crisis energy in transit. This is likely an aspect showing a major breaking of commitment. We may see this individually with ourselves or people around us ending a commitment, but I suspect it'll also be much larger than that in the world, and we see some sort of p[artnership, country, or power couple breaking apart.

Suggested Reading: Asteroid Juno in the Zodiac Signs Transit (moving) Pluto is gearing up to exit Capricorn, and move into Aquarius soon. Pluto will be back-and-forth between the two signs through 2024 though, and while in Capricorn, will spend the bulk of its time anaretic. What does this mean? What is Pluto in astrology?
Pluto is a dwarf planet, and in astrology, is the planet of transformation. It's passion, power, control, depth, intensity, and dominating. In the natal chart, natal Pluto can show where you have to fight for power and can take control, and where you need to transform in your life.
In transit, transit Pluto brings transformations. Sometimes this is traumatizing, and Pluto destroys everything in its path, forcing us to rise from the ashes. This normally happens with transit Pluto conjunct, square, or opposite a natal planet, especially the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres. If you go with the transformations, this can be a positive thing, and you can gain more power and control than you've ever had before. What is the anaretic degree in astrology?
There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, 360 degrees total (30 x 12). 29 degrees is the last degree of each Zodiac sign, and is called the anaretic degree as it has very high energy.
In the natal chart, the bodies at the anaretic degree have super heightened energy, and this is usually overwhelming and scary so we avoid it (though some go in the opposite direction and play it up too much, to their detriment). In transit, the anaretic degree is crisis energy. It's an *almost always* situation of triggering something really big and important with slow planets like Pluto. Anaretic Pluto in Capricorn Dates:
Anaretic Pluto in Capricorn Impact:
Pluto is the destroyer at the anaretic degree, so that is likely going to happen to what's ruled by Capricorn. Governments, corporations, countries, and institutions get direct focus, and we'll likely see some massive changes in all of these areas.
Some will collapse, scandals may come out, change may be forced, and it can seem like it comes out of nowhere, when really, it's been building up for a long time and we just haven't seen it until it blows. Some people in high places will likely come crashing down to Earth, and this can be a good thing in the long run, though it may not seem like it at the time, and it may create some chaos when it happens. We have to avoid giving in to the intensity of Pluto though, and try to get some control over it. It can be easy to let passions run wild, and we end up doing things we regret and can't undo. Self-control is very important here. It's difficult for entire countries and corporations to transform willingly (hence so much punishment awaits them), however as individuals, we can make the choice to transform of our own volition. This will be very important while Pluto is anaretic in Capricorn, and can help smooth challenges so we're not experiencing the chaos that may seem to plague everywhere else. This will be especially important for anyone who has a natal planet, angle, or other body at the anaretic degree. It doesn't matter the Zodiac sign; I find with the anaretic degree, the aspect doesn't matter, just being at that degree, it'll be lit up. If that's you, give focus on transforming with whatever the point rules. For everyone, look to the house in your natal chart 29 degrees Capricorn falls. The areas of life ruled by that house can be where transformation is focused. Work to transform from the roots, and make use of passion to make progress with it. As you transform, keep in mind what's right, ethical, responsible, and smart. Capricorn is naturally ruled by Saturn, so if you're cutting corners, not doing homework, being impulsive, or being inconsiderate, this can blow up in your face in a big way. If things blow up, this is likely why! So change what you're doing. We've been in a strong period for a massive widespread shift in the world that started in 2020 with the Capricorn stellium. It's continued in 2021 and 2022, and kicks up in 2023 thanks to Pluto. So, get ready!
