Capricorn Health Horoscope 2023

If you're ever curious about what the Universe possibly has in store for your health at any given time, there are two planets you really want to pay attention to Saturn and Mercury. Saturn, of course, because the ringed planet is the ruler of your same sign. Therefore your body and spirit (especially if your Ascendant is in Capricorn), now Mercury is the planet responsible for your 6th house of illness, hard work, and all of those other not so many fun things about life.

With that said, the Mercury retrogrades for Capricorn usually have health-related implications, especially if you are in a year where your 6th house is activated. Those being age 29, 41, 53 or 65.

As far as Mercury retrogrades are concerned this year, we actually have the maximum number of retrogrades we can have in 12 months, meaning that you probably want to be extra careful whenever those come around. This is especially true for the retrograde happening right at the year's inception when Mercury will go retrograde in your very own sign.

Having Mercury as the planet responsible for your house of health can target a few specific areas of the body. You'll want to pay extra attention to your hands and wrist health as well as your nervous system. Doing daily hand and wrist stretches can be a great way to mitigate some of the negative aspects of this transit. Avoiding excessive typing or playing video games can also be an excellent way to ensure you're not overworking such a vital and sensitive area of your body.

As far as Saturn is concerned this year, your patron planet will be finally moving from your 2nd house to your 3rd house,

This transit can actually be highly beneficial since he'll receive a great deal of help from Jupiter, the planet of good health and fortune through his stay in that sign. Though, because your 3rd house has a cold character, you might want to pay attention to a few things. Because Saturn is already a naturally cold planet, this can make you more prone to stiffening the bones or cold feet. With that in mind, you might want to stretch a little more than just your hands through the duration of this transit. Saturn usually stays in a sign for around 2.5 years, so it's time to create good habits.

Because the 3rd house is also related to communication, you can also feel like your voice is being repressed from a mental health standpoint. So make sure to remember this detail and create a more tremendous effort to let loose and talk your feelings out instead of bottling them.

Though 2023 has a few brief red flag moments, for the most part, things are looking much better than 2022. Saturn getting help from Jupiter should not be understated, especially for those who were born during the day. Even still, it's always good to stay on the side of safety. So go pay a visit to your doctor, start a yoga class, and do your best to stay active and flexible to combat some of Saturn's heavy cold vibes.

Good luck, Capricorn!
