2023 Predictions for People Born on October 21, 1966
As a 56-year-old born on 21 October 1966, your year 2023 is going to be a mix of challenges and opportunities. The sub-cycle of Mercury, which controls communication, logic and reasoning, adaptability, calculation, and telecommunications, will be active from January 2021 to June 2023. Unfortunately, Mercury is also the ruler of your 6th and 9th houses, indicating that you may have to face some troubles in your daily routine, career, or long-term goals. However, from June 2023 to June 2024, the sub-cycle of Ketu, which governs separation, penance, challenges, and spiritual purification, will take over, and you will have the support of the benefic planet Mercury. With Ketu in a friendly sign, you will be able to overcome obstacles, achieve success, and see progress and gains.
Mercury's presence with malefic planet Ketu may mean that you will face hardships in your endeavors and see the unpleasant fruits of your efforts. It could lead to difficulties and challenges, especially in your communications, tour and transportation, and relationships with daughters, very young girls, infants, toddlers, and primary schoolers. There might be some taint on your reputation. But things will change for the better from June 2023, and you will have the support of Ketu in achieving your goals.
The sub-cycle of Mercury activates your 10th house, which governs achievements, ambition, career development, and goals and objectives. You may have trouble connecting with your friends and social circle, and your relationship with your elderly siblings may also suffer. Medical bills related to your siblings may also occur. The fear of rejection, dominance/submission dynamics in relationships, losing individuality, and worrying about the future may also be a challenge. However, there's hope in the gains you can make from foreign travel and connections, success through foreign connections, and getting closer to God through prayers and beliefs.
Your 6th house is ruled by Mercury, indicating struggles with balancing love, passion, work, and daily responsibilities. Solitude may become a theme, and you may have trouble connecting with your friends and elderly siblings. The scrutiny of friends and secret enemies may cause doubt, anger, or intoxication. Healing from past relationships or emotional wounds through daily routines, feeling lost and alone, and dealing with day-to-day work, debt, or diseases may also be a challenge. But Ketu's presence will help you purge your sins and overcome these challenges.
In your 9th house, Jupiter's transit through the 3rd house in 2023 indicates that you will experience good luck and good deeds from your elder siblings and friends. You will gain from research, patents, and special powers as well. On the flip side, there may be a loss of profession, career difficulties, and loss of reputation. You may encounter problems related to speech and face challenges related to family, wealth, and belongings. Health issues related to your mother and her debts, home loans, or vehicle loans may also occur. But your association with a spiritual teacher, events related to your children and younger siblings of your spouse, and communication with your spouse hold the potential to mitigate these challenges.
Finally, your 3rd house, ruled by Mars, may present some mental troubles, house expenses, bad mouthing from colleagues, coworkers, or gossip, and problems related to home and vehicles. However, you can learn from podcasts or audiobooks, take short trips or excursions, and gain through creativity, movies, and cinema. Business-related to religion, stock brokers, lottery brokers, and commissions hold good potential. You may also encounter problems related to joint financial assets, siblings, communication, and courage.
In conclusion, your year 2023 is a time for self-improvement, spiritual cleansing, and overcoming the challenges in your path. With Ketu's presence, you will have the means and support to succeed and grow, even if it means facing hardships or separating from some aspects of your life. Remember that it's the challenges that shape us and help us appreciate our accomplishments. An important takeaway for you is to embrace this change and face the challenges head-on, and remember, "With every hardship, there is ease."
