Venus Retrograde FINALLY comes to a close
When: Jan. 29th - March 5th
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Libra
YEEHAW!
FREAKING FINALLY.
Quick sidebar from the horoscope writer here: I don’t know about ya’ll but Venus in RX was BRUTAL to me this go-round so I am freaking DONE with that cycle of reflection, remembrance, and revising and I hope I never see another Venus retrograde as difficult as this one ever again!!! I know I’m not alone in that feeling either.
Ya’ll, most of us experienced some massive ups and downs in our relationships over the last few months.
Venus in Capricorn tends to raise the expectations of our relationships sky high. These sky-high expectations combined with the almost inescapable remembrance, rumination and reflection that accompanies retrogrades made this a challenging time for relationships. Basically, Venus retrogrades have a way of getting you, getting you mercilessly stuck in your head and your thoughts about your relationships, bringing exes back into your orbit, and bringing trial-by-fire style situations into your current relationships.
So if you made it through without losing your lover, your best friend, or some other significant relationship in your life- congratulations you’ve got some keepers.
If you experienced a break up, well here’s to having better luck next time, my friend.
Whatever the state of your relationships right now, give yourself a big hug and breathe a deep sigh of relief. Pat yourself on the back sweetie cause you did it gorgeous. You freaking survived the Venus RX! You are basically an unstoppable bad*ss.
We’ve all just made it through an intense time for reassessing what we value, what we consider beautiful, what we find attractive, and what we consider desirable
And while Capricorn makes for a very committed, if sometimes harsh administrator, doleing us out list after list of pros and cons in our relationships, remember that at its heart, Capricorn wants to help us choose something that will last. All it really wants is to help us figure out what kind of relationship(s) are sustainable for us in the long-haul.
When we are finally free of Venus’s post-retrograde shadow on March 1st, things will start looking up for all of us.
Venus and Mars Conjunction bring new love, true love, and potentially…sexual misconduct
When: Feb. 16th, 2022 - Mars in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn Conjunction
Signs Most Affected: Aquarius, Aries, Capricorn, Taurus, Libra, and those with significant Venus Mars conjunctions in their natal chart.
Alright y'all, time to make the most of your moment.
This is the first of two mars and venus conjunctions. The second conjunction will occur on March 5th. This double conjunction is extremely rare and usually only happens one time, once every other year. Lucky for us, we'll get double the number of opportunities to align our drive, passions, hearts, love, and values this year.
Worthy of note however is that although this prime moment to find new love, a new fling, a new thing, like most transits it’s also got a shadow side to it. What happens now lets you know what side of the line of light and dark you’re living on: do you live on the sunny side or the shadow side of life?
On the shadow side, Mars and Venus conjunctions can also be rife with sexual transgressions, affairs, sex scandals, and addictive romance. Basically, what can happen is that some people’s emotional and sexual desires have the potential to become entangled with their sense of purpose during this time. If that sounds familiar, tread carefully and be sure to get enthusiastic consent before getting flirty or frisky with anyone.
In short, those who are in touch with their spirit and reality have an opportunity to find new love this month. But those who are living from a place of self-sabotaging, addiction, and/or delusion may find themselves smack in the middle of danger.
Masculine Mars will overtake feminine Venus this month and Venus will overtake Mars next month. Meaning that if you don’t get it quite right this go round…you’ll get an opportunity to take a more feminine approach next month.
Ask yourself:
What would happen if I were to ask for consent?
What would happen if I were to align my heart with my driving purpose?
Pluto Return in Capricorn Reveals an Evolving Society and Challenges Societally Reinforced Gender Roles
When: February 20th, 2022
In February, Pluto, planet of the death, rebirth, power, and the soul, will return to the place it was when the USA was first forming in July of 1776. It was a time of societal restructuring, of shifting power and influence.
Now fast forward 225 years here we are again.
A new generation is being born that will make fundamental changes to government laws at local, state, and federal level when they come into power. This generation will have zero tolerance for abuse of power. Although they may also fall prey to similar failures and may carry guilt from abuse of power in previous lives. Those that bear this transit often want power, and may define themselves based on their role or social position in society.
Pluto returns for a nation often mean a time of extremes, of unlocked power, rebellion, secrets are revealed, and plans are made that will impact generations to come.
Power will be seized, abused, lost, and regained during this time.
Capricornian energy will seek to maintain the status quo of attaining power and recognition but will also come up against the ethically sustainable paradox of power: how does one wield power ethically and maintain ethical use of that power? How does one prevent the corruption of power over the long term?
The karmic lesson associated with Pluto in Capricorn is learning to let go of overidentification with culturally and systemically subjective ideologies of power, career, and status. All of which are subjective to the space and time in which they occur. At the end of the day, knowing who you are outside of your role in society is key to learning the karmic lesson of Pluto in Capricorn. We each must develop a personal authority and individuality that does not require society to tell us who we are.
So how does an entire nation of people go about releasing attachment to power and to identities which require extrinsic societal approval?
The answer is slowly, over the course of several generations. Which is why Pluto is the planet for the job. It takes time to evolve a culture. As individuals living in this society, we must learn to define ourselves outside of any societal role and individually seek to follow timeless ideologies. These ideologies which will be intuitively known to each of us if we have the courage to seek them.
Pluto in Capricorn teaches us that having power and the security it offers are not inherently evil. But that over-identifying with power can lead to the path of evil. Ultimately, it is the choices we make and the actions we take that define us.
Luckily, Pluto return is here to show us that some of that we have evolved, we have come full circle. Making this an important time to celebrate our nation’s wins while also facing it’s shortcomings head on with determination, love and hope for the future in our hearts.
Pluto In Capricorn and Societally Reinforced Gender Roles
The deconstruction of societal roles based on gender is a key karmic lesson the United States of America is in the process of learning right now.
Pluto in Capricorn is very interested in the longevity and sustainability of society, wanting to ensure that whatever roles society plays can be sustained for generations to come.
So when Capricorn notices unsustainable societal roles and ideals, such as the gender binary, it seeks to shift them into a more stabilized state. In this way, Pluto in Capricorn can help us to move away from binary understandings of gender to embrace the full gender spectrum, and improve gender equality across the nation.
Of course, some may resist and try to maintain the status quo. And it may well take those souls another 225 years to evolve to the next level of their spiritual awakening as a result. Karmic law states that our souls do not all evolve at the same speed, and therefore some of us must be stuck learning the same lessons over and over until we learn to grow.
You see, according to some Karmic theories it’s thought that those born with Pluto in Capricorn have hit a spiritual evolutionary wall.
Interestingly enough, to overcome this wall they must be reincarnated into another gender.
This reincarnation allows them to experience life from a differently gendered perspective. This is the soul’s way of rebalancing the Spirit’s yin and yang properties. For those in the U.S. this pluto return offers aid to our nation in making societal shifts around gender roles and balancing our feminine and masculine values.
Karma teaches this balancing lesson by blocking the path to power, career, and status until the lesson has been learned.
Those with Pluto in the tenth house must develop their own individual ideologies and learn to scrutinize societal motives, desires, and values.
FYI: The USA’s Pluto in the tenth house of Capricorn means that the USA will one day fall from grace and lose its place as a world power. The law of karma says that the U.S. having this power taken away is necessary for the collective evolution of the nation to reorganize their values, self image and understanding of themselves.
Jupiter Brings healing, change, and big thinking to February
When: Feb. 11th - Jupiter semi-sextile Chiron, Feb. 17th - Jupiter sextile Uranus, Feb. 23rd - Jupiter semi-square Pluto
Jupiter in altruistic Pisces semi-sextiles Chiron, the wounded healer this month, broadening our horizons through education, new experiences, and spirituality and boosting our personal growth.
Jupiter also sextiles Uranus in Taurus this month bringing change, innovation, and new energies into the mix. Out-of-the-box approaches to having fun result in new opportunities and new connections. Especially if those new ways of having fun involve groups of people, writing, speaking, publishing or humanitarian efforts.
Jupiter, planet of luck and inspiration will also semi-square Pluto in hardworking Capricorn this month. Leading to big thinking, long term aspirations, overachieving, all-or nothing- efforts, a deepening of perspective, profound dreams, and obsessive tendencies. If it’s time for you to charge ahead, great! But be aware of moments when a more moderate approach may be more sustainable in the long run.
Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection
Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.
Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Last monthly you felt an increased sense of personal ambition and began working on plans to add creative fire and passion into your daily life.
This month your ruling planet Mars is in Aquarius, continuing your focus on responsibilities and career goals. The full moon in Leo, your fellow fire sign, illuminates your creative side, bringing about notable advancements in your passion-driven pursuits.
A new job may appear on the horizon this month.
You feel almost as though you are being pulled along by mission-driven forces you don’t completely understand. Intuition and spiritual peace are available to you this month.
Once the Sun moves into altruistic Pisces on the 18th you’ll be looking for some R&R. Take the time. Doing the self care necessary to get your sh*t in order will boost your optimism and your outlook. Slow down the pace so you don’t burn out on your long-term goals.
Aries Love Forecast: Listen. We’re all still recovering from Venus RX. It’s alright to not be 100% focused on the love train right now and instead be looking inward. If you’ve been unlucky in love recently it’s time to ask yourself: What is your toxic trait? Do you have habits that are holding you back from living as your highest self? You’ve got an opportunity to transform your relationships this month by looking inward and switching up your mindset. You have a unique connection to the world and to others, you have an almost instinctual protectiveness that you can use to make others feel loved. You've also got your eye on new friendships, new relationships, and group connections.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
This is a good month for you sweet Taurus.
Last month you weathered the Venus retrograde like a champ.
You’ve been on a path of developing a strong sense of self and your confidence in your identity will help make this month an engaging, and productive time full of creativity. New channels of self expression are becoming available to you. Your passions may at times feel overwhelming this month, especially around the Venus and Mars conjunction. The energy of the conjunction might have you feeling a bit competitive so sweat it out with a foot race, wrestle your partner in bed, or play a favorite game with loved ones. On the 16th a turning point in your home and family life takes shape.
Work and career areas look good for you this month. Step into your leadership, expand your horizons, and hone your personal drive. New people you meet now play a big role in your future. Promotions at work are imminent. But by the middle of the month when the sun moves into altruistic and sensitive Pisces you’ll be feeling your focus shift to expanding your horizons in your personal life whether that means shifting to a polyamorous relationship style, or simply being more open to connecting with others.
Taurus Love Forecast: This month looks fortuitous for you Taurus. The Universe literally wants you to be happy. You’ve been working hard on growing and improving yourself and it shows. You’re done waiting for permission to fall in love, and you’re ready to be daring and wear your heart on your sleeve. You feel better equipped to ask for what you want than ever before. Trust that your honesty will pave the path forward. Friendships form quickly and spontaneously everywhere you go this month. Love can be found in adventure, extracurricular activities, through online dating, or in school. What are you doing still reading this? Get out there! Exciting new prospects await.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Dearest Gemini, last month you were addressing the power balance in your relationships. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is finally free of retrograde on the 3rd, but past poor money management may cause some tension anyway. Stick to your budget this month and have some fun with it by trying out being the penny pincher your great grandfather would have idolized. Or take up a (free) new topic of study this month to keep your brain sharp.
Recognize your many talents for the gifts they are. Your power lies in your behind the scenes approach to the situation right now. Collaboration on mutual goals fare well for you.
By the middle of the month Venus and Mars will both join in your relationship and intimacy center, causing you to experience intense emotions, attractions, and a desire for discovery. Outside relationships and your relationship to self are a key focus for you this month. Keep the mental health glow up glowing. Confront the darkness that lies within, heal the hidden parts that cry there in the night. Lifestyle changes are given a boost of energy for you this month.
The full moon brings some drama. But when the Sun moves into altruistic and sensitive Pisces on the 18th along with lucky planet Jupiter. From there on you’ll be golden and ready to tackle long-term business goals, responsibilities, setting boundaries, and restructuring your life. It’s also a good opportunity to show off all that you’ve accomplished and what you’re planning to achieve next.
Gemini Love Forecast: You’re finding it easier to express love this month. But stagnation in your relationships may have you feeling a bit burdened by longing. It may feel as if your craving for love is endless. Make sure to soothe your inner self with self love. BE HERE NOW sweet Gemini instead of taking the easy escape. If you’re partnered this Valentine’s Day may be spent more subdued that usual and financial difficulties may even bring rain to your relationships, but bring an umbrella and a picnic to share and you’ll make it through.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Tender Cancer, last month you practiced taking on a leadership role in your relationships…you also practiced crying…but hey, we get it, Venus RX was ROUGH.
Well you’re in luck. This month feels a lot more straightforward than the path you’ve been on. This month you’re looking under the hood, diagnosing the mechanical failures in your life and in your relationships and getting comfy talking about shared finances, deep personal changes and more.
The sun in Aquarius is making your mind WERK this month. Put it to good use. You are uniquely capable of acknowledging strengths, weaknesses and opportunities this month. You’re also doing great at mano y mano style brainstorming and creative sessions. So work out a time to sit down with a coworker, your best friend, or your partner and collaborate.
On the 18th when the Sun moves into your fellow water sign, passion lead and altruistic Pisces, you’ll be feeling adventurous and ready to reach beyond what is known to you. Take a break from routine and lean into your interests and passions especially if they involve learning, publishing, or promotion.
Cancer Love Forecast: During Venus RX you discovered what it is you really want and need out of your relationships. Your new values will guide you as you make decisions about where to go from here. Deal with things head on and leave preconceived ideas and notions behind. You are magnetic this month, drawing others to you. Meetings seem to be…fated. You’re also craving some excitement so it’s time to get kinky in the bedroom and explore. There is an intensity of emotion this month that is familiar to you but can be problematic as well. Be weary of impulsiveness, or overidentifying with your relationship and losing yourself to addictive romantic patterns.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Sweet Leo, last month you strategized.
This month you're helping, healing, and contributing to the world by channeling your passion into productive pursuits. You’re continuing on the theme of building a daily routine that supports your health and long-term goals.
During the full moon in your sign and the days that follow, inspiration comes bursting through, new epiphanies, personal triumphs and new discoveries are possible in your love life, your life plan, your career, your health, and your entire outlook on life.
Cultivating harmony within cultivates harmony without.
By the end of the month you’ll be ready to take that inspiration, get creative and fine tune your plan for the path forward.
Leo Love Forecast: Venus RX had you reflecting on your romantic life a lot. Romance takes center stage early on in the month. You’re likely to feel a deepened desire to connect with others this month. You shine when you can bounce your genius off another person in a conversation. Team spirit abounds for you everywhere you walk. And spending time with a partner or friend one-on-one brings in opportunities for self discovery this month. Remember if you want a relationship to last, you’ve got to put in the time, you can’t rush through things and expect them to last. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Be honest about what you want and what you’re feeling.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Amazing Virgo, last month your focus was on putting your energy into the right things but Mercury RX didn’t make it easy.
This month is kind of a critical one in your year, but you’re starting off on a bit of shaky ground, and it may take the first half of the month to get solid again. Instead of cursing at the slow pace of things, just accept it as a sign from the universe that you should use the time between the New moon and the full moon to rest and recharge. Go get a massage and chill. Really. Do. It. Taking time to care for yourself will have you feeling and looking good all month long, upping your motivation to achieve your goals and making you magnetic to the people around you.
The new moon in Aquarius gives you an opportunity to nurture new interests, leave old habits behind and make the lifestyle changes that make your heart and health feel cared for.
Be sure to make time for creative, spiritual, and imagination this month, especially around the full moon. Messages are coming to you from the beyond. Secrets are being revealed. Intuition and instinct commingle to bring you truth. There is a feeling of ‘fatedness’ that graces your personal connections this month.
Virgo Love Forecast: Venus and Mars both illuminate areas of joy and pleasure for you this month. Your libido is running high, your passion is present, and the work you’ve done to be clear about your relationship expectations are paying off. Your communication game is leveling up and your relationships can level up with it. When the Sun moves into Pisces you’ll be feeling ready to pour fourth love from your overflowing cup. Strong and intelligent people are drawn to you during the last ten days of the month. Take pride in the circle you are manifesting.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Hey you, flirtatious Libra.
Last month you were deciding what to do with the truths that were revealed to you by Venus retrograde.
This month your ruling planet, loving Venus has finally exited retrograde. The Venus and Mercury RX’s have impacted you more than most. And you may have been feeling a lack of motivation to move in the direction of your heart's desire. But fear not this month shift out of retrograde also shifts your energy in a big way. Venus now enters into it’s post retrograde shadow period and you’ll be feeling lighter and clear headed as a result so you’ll be moving forward with your decisions and starting to get some traction this month. Spend time improving your surroundings this month and making your home and office beautiful. Decorate your shelves.
And on the 14th when Mercury moves into your fellow air sign Aquarius, it will be like the gates of communication have been flung wide open. And you’ll be feeling motivated to lead the conversation in your relationships and assert your desires.
The full moon on the 16th brings a turning point in a friendship or project for you. This full moon is about being true to you and to others. Your innermost needs require courageous exploration. Ask for help if you need it.
When the Sun joins Jupiter in a Piscean paradise on the 18th you’ll be feeling inspired to up your self care game. Get the most our of your self care this month by addressing your working conditions, improving your habits and tackling ambitious health goals. Improvements in your work life seem to come out of ‘nowhere’ this month, thank your Karma.
By the time March rolls around and your ruling planet goes fully direct you’ll be feeling like a leaf floating on the breeze.
Libra Love Forecast: The new moon awakened a seductive energy in you this month. And your passion will reach its peak during the Venus and Mars conjunction on the 12th, making for a steamy Valentine’s Day you’ll never forget. Just remember, when you’re in love there is no need to hide, be honest about what you want. It’s good to be independent but don’t let your fear of codependency get in the way of you crafting beautiful relationships that feed your heart. When you find the right balance you won’t have to choose between personal freedom and relationship. Ask yourself: what does interdependence mean to me?
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Dear Scorpio, last month you realized that opening yourself up to others is key to building sustainable relationship foundations. This month you’re taking a hands-on approach to communications, creativity, learning and self-expression.
The new moon brings you a fresh start with your home and family. Boost your feelings of security by taking leadership in conversations about your creative and romantic goals. You are dripping with passion this month. Good energy motivates you to finish up half-completed projects. Collaborate on a project with a partner or friend to strengthen your attachments. Learn something new together if you can.
On the Leo full Moon, you’ll see the culmination of a project you’ve been working on and receive the recognition you deserve. You may also have a sudden intuitive understanding of your true calling in life. Take responsibility of your dreams.
When the Sun moves into your fellow water sign, altruistic Pisces on the 18th your powers of seduction, persuasion, and perception will become especially heightened. This will help you express love more outwardly, connect to others, and extend thoughtful gestures that are reciprocated.
Scorpio Love Forecast: Stop running from your innate power Scorpio. What you want from your relationships may be more intense than some people can handle but that means those people aren’t for you. Just be sure you aren’t doing that thing where you set unrealistic expectations and end up pushing people away because you are frustrated and dejected. Putting all of our needs into one basket puts a lot of pressure on our partners. So meet your lovers halfway if you can. Communicate clearly and don’t be afraid to reimagine the rules of dating and mating for yourself.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Truth-seeking Sagittarius, last month you got in touch with your inner ambition and inner softness and discovered that the two were not mutually exclusive. This month, you will build on your power, energy, and drive.
Your mind is curious this month and lines of connection, travel, communication, and learning are opening up to you as a result. You’ll be doing lots of exploring related to your creativity, business ventures, and home improvements.
There is an increased enjoyment of all you do this month that is here to support and motivate you as you build-whatever it is you’re building this month. Be sure to invite others in to help you accomplish your goals, sharing a task can be an excellent bond strengthening activity.
The new moon brings you some faulty messaging, but the full moon in your fellow fire sign, leadership-oriented Leo, on the 16th brings the truth to light. A confrontation may occur. Be careful not to gossip until you know the full story or you’ll create unnecessary drama for those around you.
When the Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th, your focus will shift to putting down roots and your home life. Embrace daily routine with positivity and push yourself to change your routines to feed your heart.
Sagittarius Love Forecast: You are in a building mode this month and your desire to nurture and foster connection is strong. You may even consider adopting a furry friend or a child this month. Your platonic relationships are strengthened this month. Nurture your soul connections. This month surround yourself with platonic love and soul connections. Know that you don’t need another person to feel whole but it sure does feel nice to have someone to talk to and someone to share touch and love with.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Dear hardworking Capricorn, last month your confidence was shining through, even if it was a bumpy ride, the steering wheel was in competent hands. This month you’re seeking personal fulfillment, comfort, additional resources, and satisfying conversations.
Venus, Mars and Vesta are all in your sign this month, boosting your motivation to cross off your to-do list. Just be sure to approach things softly, as you may have been a bit, well, prickly recently. You can achieve great things with a softer tone, and a slower pace.
You are magnetic this month, drawing a sense of purpose, pride, and joy to you everywhere you go. You push boundaries without breaking them, and express yourself from a place of deep truth and authenticity.
The Venus Mars conjunction brings some impulsivity to your chart as well as increased intimacy, sharing, and shifting power dynamics.
The full Moon in Leo brings up long buried feelings related to personal ownership, power, and finances. You may experience sudden inspiration about how to address these things.
When the Sun enters altruistic Pisces you’ll be focusing on engaging your mind, staying busy, and channeling a more authentic version of self expression.
Capricorn Love Forecast: This month you’re facing shifting power dynamics, feelings related to sharing, intimacy, and ownership head on. If money is an issue in your relationship, you’re better off naming it now. An inferiority complex and hidden resentments about material possessions will only hinder your relationships. Get real with your partner if something about your relationship feels out of balance. You can mend anything with the right materials. Try collaborative decision making instead of going your own way.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Happy Birthday, Aquarius!
Last month your individuality shined through, and this month, you’re turning over a new leaf and focusing in on your personal spheres of relaxation, retreat, and healing. This is a slowing down period of reorienting yourself as Jupiter helps you build on on exciting new discoveries you made last month. This month, you resolve issues around your finances, home life, and self-worth. Invest in your safety and comfort where you can. You are feeling proactive so build something you would love to see last.
During the Leo full moon on the 16th do behind the scenes work, get creative, and reflect on how you spend your love and money. Observe the world around you. You may find renewed inspiration and receive new information in regards to your home life, feelings, and those that are close to you.
By the last week of the month you’ll be feeling very practical and balanced. Your mind may be busy, however so take some time to relax so you have the stamina for busier times that await you.
Aquarius Love Forecast: Your ability to care for others is a gift to yourself and to all those around you. This month you’re discovering that your feelings and desires go even deeper than you thought and you’ll be finding your voice this month to do them justice. Sudden realizations about your relationships are arriving. Listen. Find your path to freedom through music and interpersonal connection this month. Merge your song with another and observe lyrical beauty that follows. Find your synchronicity with those around you and share your world-changing ideas with those you love this month.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Happy Birthday, Pisces!
last month you took some time to appreciate the view from where you’re standing. This month you’re leaning into freedom of expression, moving forward with your interests, and re-orienting yourself to being more open to connection in March.
Venus and Mars illuminate your social life this month making you more confident and outgoing than usual putting you in high demand from your friends and family. Although your inner world is also swimming with so much inspiration it can be tempting to remain withdrawn. Try to find a balance between resting and socializing that works for you. New friendships align by mid-February.
You’re full of creative ideas for future projects this month. And your focus is on looking forward to the future. There is a strong sense of increased freedom for you. And a lifting of rigidness in your areas of study and communications. Exchange ideas with others and reap the rewards.
The full Moon in Leo brings a turning point in your health or work. Try to be flexible with the changes.
The Sun enters your sign on the 18th, increasing the amount of attention and energy coming your way. You’ll be opening up a little to it this month, but still being protective of your ‘me’ time. This is a good time to put your altruistic nature to use and align yourself with a worthy cause. Leave behind any prior friendship drama and live in the now.
Pisces Love Forecast: I don’t know what it is about you this month Pisces, but you seem to shy away from some of the best and most spontaneous parts of falling in love in favor of living in a fantasy world. It’s okay to have a fantasy of what you want, but just be careful that you aren’t doing that thing where you compare your lovers to past lovers and end up repeating old patterns of relationship instead. Instead of trying to ‘rekindle’ the fire, build a new fire and pay attention to where it wants to go. Be honest about what you expect in a relationship and be the leader in writing a new path forward in your relationships. Share your passion with others, share what causes you care deeply about, believe in the connective power of building something together. You can create whatever change you want to see in your relationships, but you can’t change something by refusing to talk about it.
Your Zodiac Sign's January 2022 Horoscopes and Predictions for the New Year
Welcome to another cycle of the Earth around the Sun. This month we explore what 2022 has in store for the stars and for all twelve zodiac signs and it would seem that in 2022 the Stars are pushing us to rebuild our lives and societies on a foundation of love, healing, and harmony.
Hello Dear Readers,
Welcome to another cycle of the Earth around the Sun. This is a challenging but rewarding year of personal and global transformation. In 2022 we begin the work of rebuilding social structures and envisioning daily routines and value systems that reflect who we want to be.
2022 Astrological Predictions
Year of the Water Tiger
In Chinese Astrology, 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. It will be a year of extremes, of fortunes made and lost. The water element supports our health and vitality, feeding and healing our life force. It is also a time of extreme water weather events as climate extremes continue to ramp up.
2022 Numerology Brings in Love & Beauty
2022 is a '6' year in numerology. (2+0+2+2 = 6)
Six is the number of love, beauty, marriage, cooperation, co-parenting, childbirth, the heart chakra. (It is potentially a baby boom year and a relationship-oriented year.) Everything that happens this year is about teaching us how to recognize beauty and love in our life and to solidify the importance and impact of individual personal happiness on society. Understanding our interconnectedness and caring for our hearts is vital to pushing forward global improvements this year. In other words: your happiness is essential to the happiness of others and vice versa. Compromises of the self, making yourself a martyr, harm not only yourself but those around you as well in 2022.
The Stars Push Us to Rebuild Our Lives and Societies on a Foundation of Love, Healing, and Harmony In 2022
For the last two years, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto have taken us on a path that has altered the course of our lives forever. It has been a time of unrest, division, secrets revealed, discourse, judgment, and sides chosen. So in some ways, what we have experienced is akin to a great trial of humanity before the Universal heart and mind.
Now, as January begins, the trial ends, and the verdict is read and it is not what we thought. Now is the time when we discover that we have all been found guilty and innocent. For though our minds may be full of madness- our hearts, no matter how battered, still know how to love.
So, where do we go from here?
Some will go to lock-up, found guilty of crimes against their fellow humans or their nation. Some will stand and weep over what has been lost. Some will wander. But most of us, having endured the trials and tribulations of the last two years, will be ready to return home to our hearts and spirits to rekindle love in 2022.
Upon walking into our hearts, we can see the scars on the walls, the cracks in the foundation that went too long ignored. As we return home to love our hearts we face our flaws head-on and we set to the work of reconstruction and healing at once, using our strengths, talents, and innate desire to give and receive love to guide us.
2022 is to be a time of gathering our communities, families, and lovers to us and build a new life together based on a foundation of love. We are ready to gather the hands necessary to move the stones from the fields; to grind the stone into mortar, and to mix the mortar for a new foundation.
This Year’s Top Astrological Themes
Venus Retrograde Rings in the Year and Roughs Up Our Relationships
When
Dec. 19th- Jan. 29th - Venus retrogrades in Capricorn.
Jan. 11th-15th Venus Rx conjuncts black hole
Signs most affected: Taurus, Libra, Capricorn.
Venus in Capricorn raises the expectations of our relationships sky high.
These high expectations combined with Venus in retrograde (which causes us to reassess what we value, find beautiful, attractive, and desirable) make this a particularly difficult time for relationships. Cracks in relationship foundations may be revealed. And our desire intensifies for deeper and more meaningful relationships. Relationships that don’t 'make the cut' when it comes to aligning with our values will likely come to an end in January.
Venus Rx in Capricorn also conjuncts a black hole in Capricorn in January, bringing intensified rumination and reflection on our use of seduction powers and past addictive romances.
What to Expect: Texts from an ex, chance grocery store meetings with past lovers, couple arguments about shared goals, affairs, break-ups, heart to hearts, etc...
How to work with this transit
Venus RX is an excellent time for self-reflection and making revisions. Practice the 3 R's of Retrograde: Remember, Reflect, Revise. Your wounded heart feels called to heal old wounds, to envision your healing's impact on the next generation’s future and more. It can be useful to share positive and negative feedback together. Know how to balance positive and negative feedback by engaging your curiosity and your compassion. Meditate on the feeling of appreciation, not thoughts of appreciation, but the actual feeling of it. You can train yourself to react using your values instead of a wounded reflex.
Venus retrograde periods are considered inopportune moments for getting married, starting new relationships or financial undertakings.
Venus Star Points; Venus and Mars Conjunction Bring New Love, True Love
When
Jan. 8th - Venus Star Point

After starting the year with Venus in retrograde, you’ll be happy to hear that there will be lots of opportunities for new and true love in 2022.
The Sun and Venus align to create a special ‘Venus Star Point’, allowing for more authentic values and connections to be expressed in our relationships. Star Point days are also very opportune moments for finding or rekindling our 'true love.'
Mars in Aquarius and Venus conjunct TWICE this year! This conjunction is rare and usually only happens once every other year. Lucky for us, we'll get double the number of opportunities to align our drive, passions, hearts, love, and values this year.
What to Expect: Twin flames are reunited, true love is found or rekindled, passion projects are undertaken, hearts open, love triumphs, etc.
An Extra Mercury Retrograde
When
Jan. 14th - Feb. 3rd in Aquarius and Capricorn
May 10th - June 3rd in Gemini and Taurus
Sept. 9th - Oct. 2nd in Libra and Virgo
Dec. 29th - Jan. 18th, 2023 in Capricorn
Signs most affected: Air signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. And Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
This year we get four mercury retrogrades instead of the standard three.
I think we can all agree this is not ideal.
And when the first Mercury Rx hits us in January, it almost feels like the Universe is rubbing the proverbial 'salt' in the wound.
How to work with this year's four Mercury RXs: This year the Rx's are all in Air and Earth signs. The Rx's in Air signs will revolutionize your self-image and social life. Reflecting on it you find that changing yourself to fit into society leaves you feeling empty and depowered. Now is the time to reflect on the ways in which you naturally feel inclined to rebel against societal norms. It's time to give up old facades. Ego-centered and material-based conversations may ignite during the Earth sign retrogrades.
If miscommunications and travel difficulties arise, keep your cool. True communication doesn’t set a goal of winning or losing. True communication is about curiosity and creating mutual understanding. This is not a good time to burn your bridges in the heat of the moment, even if you think it will feel good to let the fire loose. Humans need each other, especially this year. A lack of cooperation between you and your community does both you and those around you a disservice.
Taurus and Scorpio Sister Sign Eclipses
When
This eclipse cycle began on November 19th, 2021, and will continue throughout 2022 and into 2023.

Eclipses in the fixed sign of Taurus indicate shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sensuality, material needs, financial security, and bodily autonomy.
Use the eclipses in Taurus to get your new green sustainable business a boost, ditch the social media time for cuddle time, and get in touch with your senses.
Eclipses in the fixed sign of Scorpio mean shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sex, power, repressed emotions, and hidden knowledge.

Saturn in Aquarius
When
Saturn, the planet of rules, structure, limits, and authority, entered Aquarius in 2020 and will be there until March of 2023.

In 2022 Saturn in Aquarius will continue to challenge traditional ways of doing things while awakening us to innovation and the reality of what people can accomplish together, especially when it comes to building new technologies, expanding worldwide education and understanding.
Jupiter and Neptune Swim Together in a Pisces Paradise
When
Jupiter is in Pisces until May 2022, and Neptune is in Pisces until 2026.
2/22/2022 Neptune is at 22 degrees.
February 18th Sextile Jupiter in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus. Seize opportunities that come this day.
April 12th Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. Transcend to find your meaning and purpose in life.
May 3rd Sextile Jupiter in Pisces Pluto in Capricorn. A good day for leaning into your personal authority and making new proposals.
Signs most affected: Pisces, Sagittarius.
These two planets are joining up in the water kingdom for salty daydreamy days, expanding our ability to heal, open our hearts, embrace optimism and to connect with others.
Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces allows our spiritual imagination and healing powers to awaken so that we can learn to know our higher selves. This knowingness of our higher selves allows us to hold on to our sense of compassion, opening us up to curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and intuitive inspiration.
During this time we turn to our subconscious for answers and embrace our softness, compassion, and psychic visions. Messages and inspiration flow easily and endlessly in the form of symbols, visions, and dreams.
How to work with this transit: Neptune plays a crucial role in 2022, so in some sense, your future depends on your ability to express empathy and compassion during this time. Attune to your higher self and engage in the mindful and meaningful introspection. Some may experience this transit as an increased desire to escape reality rather than heal it. Those prone to delusions may find their pull strengthened. My advice? Instead of living in a delusion make your reality worth living in. It’s a good time to get a tarot reading, take a guided journey to the end of the universe, attend a Mt. Adam’s Buddhist Temple meditation, read the Qabalah or the Tao te Ching, study the Tarot, seek life coaching and astrological guidance and practice Yoga. It’s also a good time to or experience the wisdom available in somatic embodiment experiences (learn more here and here).
Pluto in Capricorn: The United States of America has its Pluto Return
When: Feb. 20th, 2022
This is a once-in-a-lifetime transit that we will never see again.
Pluto returns give us clues as to where our nation is on its karmic path. It is a time when the karmic wheel spills out threefold the lessons that we have to learn. In this way, a nation's Pluto return marks the end of one evolutionary cycle and the beginning of the next.
Pluto, the planet of the soul, karma, power, death, the underworld, destruction, and rebirth, has been in and out of Capricorn since 2008 and it will return to the EXACT place it was when the USA was first formed in 1776 in February of 2022.
The Karmic Path of the United States of America
What to Expect: Painful secrets about power and death are revealed during a Pluto return. This is necessary so that deep inner transformation can begin.
We saw this fully in 2020 and 2021, which both brought massive political division in the United States as leaders of a two-party system battled for power and pushes for social, racial, and gender equality forged ahead. These past few years have put our nation’s commitment to its ideals of equality, inclusion, and freedom for all on trial in every home and in every newspaper.
The past few years have called global attention to the cracks in the nation's moral foundation. And the nation and the world are still reeling from these events.
The U.S. has it’s North Node in Leo, the sign of ego and leadership, making it seem almost destiny that the U.S. would be a leader on the world playing field.
However, according to karmic theory, it is the karmic destiny of nations that have their Pluto in Capricorn to one day fall from grace and lose their place as a world power.
To understand the United States karmic path, we must understand that every nation is built on a philosophy that becomes institutionalized and politicized. The USA was founded on a philosophy of religious freedom which has been institutionalized and politicized and evolved into free-market capitalism. This raisies the question of how does one align such a diverse nation with the heart of the philosophy it was built on?
Those born with Pluto in the tenth house must develop their own ideologies and learn to scrutinize societal desires and structures, or they may become prone to abuse of power. The question that plagues the soul of a nation with Pluto in Capricorn is that of: Who am I without my job, my power, my societal role, my house and all it’s luxuries, my reputation, and recognition? How can I be okay without those things? How can being okay with or without those things make me more secure in myself?
The U.S. is certainly not unique in its struggle to balance its ideals with its desire to accomplish more, to be more, to do more, to accumulate more power and security. And with such big questions left unanswered, perhaps the U.S. fall from grace is necessary for the nation to learn its karmic lesson. But ultimately where the nation goes from here is up to us. The only question is are we willing to integrate what we’ve learned so that we can rebuild and become the best version of ourselves?

Capricorn to Aquarius Season

Jan. 19th- Feb 18th, Sun in Aquarius
Jan. 7th, 10th, 13th - Sun conjuncts black holes in Capricorn
Jan. 24th - Sun conjuncts black hole in Aquarius
Signs most affected: Capricorn, Aquarius, Taurus
Intellectual focus and freedom-seeking intensify this month. Capricorn likes to get things done. They embrace the feelings that come with achievement and their clear focus can help them embrace many creative routes to achieving their goals. Honest communication, attention to detail, and accelerated self-improvement abound during Capricorn season.
Capricorn takes the long view. Capricorn asks: Does it grow corn? How do we grow enough corn to feed the next seven generations? Now is a good time to take the long view and invest in the future. Commit to exercising the body in ways that enrich your life, your health, and your wellbeing.
Capricorn transitions easily into Aquarius season as we begin to put our innovative abilities to the test. Societal and social issues continue to grace the headlines and covers of magazines. Ambitions are stoked, transformation is called upon, and social justice movements continue forward.
Black Hole Conjunction Advice: These black hole conjunctions may cause struggles between a need for outside validation and a need for inner reflection to determine your sense of self or purpose in the world. Reflect on what you are giving your energy to. Is what you get in return worth the cost? Or are you sinking all your energy into a bottomless black hole?
Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection
Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.
Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Last month you realized that you can grant yourself permission to be powerful.
This month your ruling planet Venus is retrograde, making everything feel a bit like a grueling finals exam in your relationships. Will they pass the test or fold under pressure?

And this month is all about finding the power balance in your relationships. Find a way to take the lead without taking too much control. The Venus and Mercury retrograde may have you feeling a bit sensitive towards your past and prickly towards others. Try not to be too harsh with yourself and others. Look beneath the surface.

How can you achieve your goals in a way that is satisfying to your spirit and your wallet?
Gemini 2022 Overview: Focus on being organized. It is an action-oriented year in which you reach for the stars. Shoot for the moon, reach for the stars, fire up your plane and FLY. But be sure to accept the fame that naturally comes next with grace. Be humble. The more well-known you become, the further your reach and the more polite you should be in your communications. Especially becuase you may experience sudden rises and falls in income this year and you'll want to get help from family and friends with your finances.
Other 2022 Themes for Gemini:

Breath and remember that practice makes perfect.

Your parents may oppose your love match, but you don’t need their approval for your love to be real. Let time do the talking for you.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Last month you realized embraced that your worth goes beyond the recognition you’ve received.
The month starts off with your ruling planet, the Sun in ambitious Capricorn, giving you a leg up on your personal goals and your New Year’s resolutions. Make a plan this month and stick to it. Last-minute, winging it may have worked in the past but empires aren’t built on a whim. Long-term goals require long-term organizational structures. Buy a planner, make a to-do list and start checking things off. Make the most of a busy schedule by merging activities with building relationships when you can: i.e., merge social time and exercise time by going on a run with a friend or turn running errands into a date with a significant other.
Leo 2022 Overview: It’s an action-oriented year for you and life has no dress rehearsal. Your time on the stage is what you make it. This year is about finding your balance in your personal and work life. Try to spend your money in places that invest in your future rather than indulging in excess. Leo's love outlook is good this year and long-term love is in the cards. Focus on listening in your relationships. Talking only takes you so far in communication. Listening and understanding others takes you the rest of the way.

Last month you leaned into your ability to relate to others intuitively.
Now this month is all about making sure you’re putting your energy into the right things. You’ll know you're doing things right what you find yourself feeling optimistic about the future. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde in the middle of the month, causing missent texts, emails and time taveling thoughts and ruminations on your past relationships. Don’t let overthinking spiral out of control, as it will distract you from your goals. Beware of the allure of shiny new things this month. Old friends, long-term relationships, and chosen family should be your priority this month. Old friends can fit as well as old boots for a reason.
Virgo 2022 Overview: Many ups and downs lie ahead. A change of mood is necessary to weather the tides with grace. Be clear and make your choice about what you want intellectually and materialisticly for this year. Good fortunes grace those who have been working towards financial security. Focus on being optimistic. Level up your spiritual life and you may find that good humor that has an almost child-like quality may come into your life. Virgo has lots of opportunities to enjoy love this year. Marriage is in the cards for your sign.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Last month illusions were lifted from your eyes and foundational issues at home were revealed. This month you’re deciding how to respond to the truth that’s been revealed.
If you’re in a relationship: Yikes. Your ruling planet Venus, planet of love and beauty continues it’s retrograde in Capricorn this month, meaning your relationships have taken a beating of three at this point. Venus in Capricorn has made your expectations in your relationships sky high and has really upped the pressure a bit as you try to figure out whether you and your partner’s values still align. Where do you connect? Where do you balance each other? If something is foundationally unfair in your relationship can it be fixed?
If you’re single: You are reconsidering what you desire this month. Milestones are approaching. Emotional cycles are ending. Let go of old ways of being and welcome in the new. It’s a good month for career and work-related themes. Get the most out of it by living in the flow of one moment to the next. One project ends, the next begins. Follow your heart over material success in your endeavors. Follow your gut but be sure to balance your needs and the needs of others.
Libra 2022 Overview: Focus on being decisive when making tough decisions. Once you have all the necessary information available, make a decision and move forward. Rely on your instinct to guide you. The year gets off to a weird start in love, some miscommunications haunt your relationships but new opportunities arise later on. As far as health goes, you are more aware of your sense of self and your anxiety this year. Good. Now that you have learned to notice it you can learn how to comfort it as well. Work may feel monotonous this year. It is a critical year for Libra in the realm of finances and investments. Be cautious in your spending in the first half of the year and the second half will be more solid and secure. You’ll have the opportunity to cross off a bucket list item, or finally go through with a fun trip or plan you’ve always dreamed of this year. Your proclivity for experimentation and your capacity for fun is a gift, enjoy it.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Last month you went cleared away blocks that held you back from your goals and faced existential questions about family and the home. So you’ll be glad to hear that this month your ruling planets, Mars and Pluto, are in the signs of Sagittarius and Capricorn this month, giving you mental fortitude and strength to push forward.
However, the Mercury retrograde that begins in the middle of the month could throw you for a spin. Misunderstandings abound. Allow yourself only one minute to feel regret, then move on. Focus on what you can control and let go of anything outside your scope. Explore your feelings with self-reflection without letting them control you. Let go of outside influences that cloud your vision of self. Know that opening yourself up to others is key to building a relationship foundation that can hold you for years to come. Your heart can not live locked away in a vibranium lined case forever. This kind of protection is only a delusion. Wear your heart on your sleeve and let it breathe, notice how others are drawn to the softness of your being in those moments. Follow your instincts.
Scorpio 2022 Overview: This is a defining year of personal transformation for you. Past kind and unkind deeds return to you karmically this year. Focus on being forgiving. Forgive yourself and others. Let go of old grudges and old storylines. There is an ease in your daily routine. In terms of health, your anxiety may be high this year. Be confident and accept your faults with grace. In terms of work, progress is made in the areas of learning and career. Children are looking to you for mentorship and wisdom.
Scorpio 2021 Overview
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Last month destiny touched you and you burned and were reborn like a Phoenix form the flame.
This month your ruling planet Jupiter is in Pisces until May, getting you in touch with your nostalgia, softness, your compassion, and your healing powers. You find that you instinctively know things. You have visions of the future and the past this month. Mercury retrograde may lead to others misinterpreting your vision- try not to let it make you feel insecure or to take it personally. You are gifted with clear sight, and not everyone is. You want to be more and to do more in the coming year. So get your routine in order and make sure it is supporting your long-term goals. Look to the future this month. Take small steps towards your material goals even if others don’t get it. This is your life, you have a right to experience it in the way that feels right for you. Your power, energy, and drive are building this month.
Sagittarius 2022 Overview: Focus on being patient. There is a deepening in relationships that have taken years to build in 2022 and you have good luck in finances. A new inheritance or a change of household is likely. 2022 is a time for daring adventures for Sagittarius. Pursue in the direction of your joy. Make a wish, and it may be granted. Love is everywhere waiting for you.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Happy Birthday Capricorn!
Last month you realized that you are ready to start a new chapter in your life.
You’ll be glad to hear that the Sun is in your sign this month, boosting your confidence and shining a bright light on your personality. Your ruling planet Saturn is in Aquarius until 2023, causing some core values to shift. Explore yourself. Discover the many versions of yourself that exist, those that have been, those that are, and those that will be. You have a natural drive to be the best version of yourself, embrace it. Let go of a desire to control or manage other's personal development. Focus on what you can control and change. Venus in retrograde may cause relationship trouble for you this month. As you focus inward, your relationships may change. This can look like your partner growing with you or growing apart from you. Trust the cycles of partnership and loneliness or coupling and uncoupling in your life. Sometimes things end so that you can focus on your personal evolution.
Capricorn 2022 Overview: Focus on being social. Old friends bring deep joy and cheerfulness into your life. New friends arrive but it will take time to deepen those relationships. Show gratitude for friendships new and old. Second chances in love arise. Sweat out your stress at the gym or on the trail. Children look to you for guidance and wisdom. Plan your financial future and carry out your vision.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Happy Birthday Aquarius!
Last month you got comfortable with endings and new beginnings.
This month the Sun moves into your sign, shining a bright light on your individuality and giving you a boost of confidence. Early in the month, focus on getting your daily routine into a healthy flow so that when Mercury retrograde hits on the 14th, you’ll have something to lean on when communications get difficult. Your nostalgia threatens to pull you into delusions and hold you back from achieving your goals this month. Remember you live always, in the present, not the past, or the future. You are defined only by the moment. Let go of old attitudes that are holding you back. Stay out of other people’s deep trauma waters this month as a means of distracting yourself from dealing with your own. Your desire to help others is a gift to be given, yes. But one shows love for others and themselves when they can give love to themselves too. Show your mental and emotional wellbeing, love and attention this month.
Aquarius 2022 Overview: Focus on being disciplined. Discipline and train your mind. It’s a good year for academia, learning, and seeking our intellectually stimulating challenges. Career wise, it’s not the right time for a big move, it’s more of a skill-building and portfolio-building year.
Your ruling planet Uranus is basically in Taurus until 2026. (It will take a brief retrograde break in Gemini in 2025.) So you are on a long haul journey here of assessing your physical reality, figuring out what brings you a sense of security, what you can do about climate change, what you want from your bank account, and what you want for your family and for your body. It is a time of digital advancement, of nest building, investing, and moving across country or the other side of the world.
Introspection, harmony and gratitude abound for you in 2022.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Last month you embraced main character energy. This month you’re taking the steps towards the next big plot point.
How do you swim an Olympic mile? One stroke and kick at a time. Stop waiting to arrive at your destination and swim for it. Celebrate every stroke you make in the direction of your goal. Enjoy every breath you take as you come up for air from your work. Take time to appreciate the view from where you are standing.
Take time for your friendships, and social life, be aware of how you interact with your community and the world. Are you living according to your values and ideals? If not, then why not change that?

Those you have helped will come to your aid. If you find you are walking alone, unaided, then perhaps you need to look at the karma you have accumulated. The wheel of time turns out threefold the intentions that we put out into the world. Walk courageously in the direction of love. Feed your creativity.
