Even though 2023 starts on a Sunday, the planetary lord which is Sun, but the Planetary Lord of this is the South Node of the Moon (Ketu). The Moon begins this year’s journey in the Lunar Mansion (Nakshatra) bordering the Aries Zodiac (Ashwini) which is ruled by the south Node of the Moon (Ketu) whose symbol is a male horse. The king of this year, then, is Ketu.

As a result, this year will be the year of mysterious energy and self-development. The world will see many miracles which will widen our understanding of the world and the things as we will be able to sense things more sharply. It is a year that will prove to be a blessing for all human beings who are interested in spirituality. The truth may have the ability to set us free but before that it will shatter all our illusions. Although young people, with their high energies, will find the initial months of this year very exciting, but they must face the fact that their values have been misguided due to their high energy only, and their tendencies of anger against the system and the world is going to make them emotionally and mentally exhausted.

Simultaneously, this will also prove to be a year of unexpected events. Activity of negative forces will make it difficult for kings to control their kingdoms. In many nations, army commanders will take control of their countries. People will be forced to live subdued by the ruling class and will feel alone and unprotected. They will struggle to balance their emotions which will be the primary reason for failure in their personal and professional lives. Since this year is controlled by Ketu, it will be a year of karmic relationship, i.e., people, particularly couples, will understand the subconscious desires of their partners from their past memories. There will, however, be obstacles in people’s celebrations; and cooperations of many past years will fail among people and countries. Financially, this year will not be good for all the country globally. Some European countries in the eastern region, particularly, may face the worst financial crisis. There are chances of some tragedy happening in the Eastern and Southern Europe involving poisonous gas which will pollute the environment.
Hindu New Year will start on 22nd March 2023, after which the geopolitical condition of the world will change and India will start playing a major role in the world politics. In fact, this year will be particularly good for India in terms of its prosperity. Many commitments of life are going to be fulfil this year, but married life couples may face some problems in this particular region.
