Let us yell “Pit Senyor” once more as we celebrate Sinulog sa Carmen this January 22, 2023.
As we welcome the new year, a lot of people are anxious about what 2023 has in store for them. Tarot readers believe that there are different tarot predictions every new year for each Zodiac sign. These predictions serve as a guide for each sign on how to approach 2023 in order for them to have a prosperous year.
Photo from Unsplash
Let’s take a look at the different 2023 tarot predictions for every zodiac sign. These tarot predictions are by Rob Rubin. Rob Rubin is a premier Tarot Authority in the PH. He has about 20+ years of experience in the field of tarot reading.
1. Aries – The Star
According to Rob’s reading, Aries are quite lucky this 2023. People who are born under Aries are said to have their prayers and wishes answered.
2. Taurus – 10 of Swords, Reversed
Those who are born under Taurus or the Bull are said to break free from painful experiences, people, and things. 2023 is the year for them to learn lessons from their trauma. They will let go of toxicity this year.
3. Gemini – Justice, Reversed
The prediction urges Geminis to do their own thing. Following the rules is not for Geminis this year. Innovation is also a must for Geminis if they want to succeed and get their desired results.
4. Cancer – Ace of Swords, Reversed
2023 for the crabs is all about channeling inner power. Those born under the sign of cancer should believe in themselves more because there is more to them than what meets the eye. Working harder is the way to go for cancer this 2023.
5. Leo – 10 of Pentacles
Heads up, Lions! 2023 is definitely a good year for you. The predictions urge Leos to connect with their higher selves and aim for their higher purpose. By doing so, all their plans will align. Financial independence and stability are also other angles to look at according to the predictions.
6. Virgo – 9 of Swords
2023 is not looking good for Virgos. According to Rob’s predictions, there will be stress and anxiety. Virgos should refrain from overthinking because a lot of aspects will trigger them. It is important for Virgos to shut down their minds in order for the year to be less complicated.
7. Libra – The Emperor
Libras need to stand up on their own this 2023. The year is the perfect time for Libras to show up, take responsibility, and make the world know their name. They should make their plans happen because this year is the right one.
8. Scorpio – King of Swords, Reversed
Scorpions are entering the year of their intense and venomous power. However, there are people who will not agree with Scorpios. Do not let them dim your light and bring the energy down.
9. Sagittarius – Queen of Swords, Reversed
2023 is the year that a Sagittarius’ patience will be destined. The predictions for Sags in 2023 urge them to build their confidence and power to not let people make them feel inferior without their consent. There are going to be people who are against Sagittarius which is why they need to set limitations for their “nice” attitude.
10. Capricorn – 3 of Wands
Capricorns will grow in the year 2023. There will be a lot of opportunities to grab and places to see. 2023 will be the year of new adventures for Capricorn as well. Do not let yourselves be caged by the 4 walls of your room, go out there and let yourselves grow.
11. Aquarius – Ace of Wands, Reversed
Aquarius will have new ideas this 2023. However, it will be tricky to unleash the idea at a perfect time. If Aquarius starts an idea too quickly, they will miss other opportunities coming their way. The idea will grow on its own, which is why proper decision-making is also important this year.
12. Pisces – Knight of Wands
2023 is a year of travel and relationship for Pisces. They will find themselves going to new and different places and meeting new people. Pisces should also expect visitors in the year 2023. Go all out and seek little adventures as this year offers excitement.

Netflix teases subscribers as they announce that Wednesday has been renewed for a second season which means we will definitely see more of the iconic pig-tails and all black outfit. Due to its global success, it is without a doubt that Wednesday captured the hearts of fans across the world.
As of this day, there has been no details yet on when the second season will be released. However, Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview that she has not seen the script.
“I have seen nothing and I know nothing” The actress said during a short interview with Variety. “I’m waiting on it, I think their just starting to get a writer’s room together, so [I]… maybe soon.”
SHE ADDED.
Lady Gaga joins Wednesday?
Jenna Ortega’s dance scene as Wednesday became a viral hit on Tiktok after a fan edited it with Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary. Because of this, the song made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Not only that, Tiktok users started using Jenna’s dance and Lady Gaga’s song to re-create their own version of the dance scene.
But will Lady Gaga be joining the casts of Wednesday for the second season?
#Wednesday star Jenna Ortega on what role Lady Gaga might play if she appears in Season 2. "If Lady Gaga were to be a part, [she and Wednesday] would have to be two monsters that understand each other." https://t.co/mPI0zz0SqBpic.twitter.com/wtCU6lVU7V
Unfortunately there are no official talks as of yet if the world-famous singer will become part of the hit series. However, Jenna Ortega did express that Netflix would possibly love the idea of starring Lady Gaga on the show.
Wednesday Becomes Second-Most Streamed Series on Netflix
A week after its release, Wednesday became the second-most streamed Netflix series after the fourth season of Stranger Things. With a whopping view count of almost 6 billion, the series definitely snatched the attention of viewers with its modern take on the classic Addams Family character, Wednesday Addams.
