December
2021
Dear Ones,
These Astrological Predictions celebrate their 30th Anniversary with
this edition! They began in 1991 as a 1-page flyer to 100 clients that
my assistant and I would hand-fold, address, and mail at every
equinox and solstice. We then graduated to mailing labels and
envelopes. This was in the days before the internet.
Then, in the year 2000, the newsletter graduated to a digital
format. And the subscriber list has grown to many, many thousands since
then. The depth of the content-and the length, as you can see-has
grown exponentially over the years. These predictions can also be found
on my website https://www.lauriebaum.com/predictions.php.
The biggest leap came in 2012, when the end of the world
as we knew it was predicted. Concurrently, relevant astrological
transits became more numerous and more complex, requiring
the length of the newsletter to grow to reflect larger forces
impacting our world.
This 2022 Yearly Forecast contains information about major historical
turning points that are by far the most significant of our
lifetimes. Thus, this newsletter is a little longer than usual. I
suggest you curl up with a cup of warm cocoa or your favorite beverage
as you absorb the truths about the trends unfolding in 2022.
I've divided these predictions into sections, so you may read one
section at a time, and meditate upon what the bigger themes mean to
you. There is a calendar of events in rust-colored type below this
purple section, which you can then turn back to as the year
progresses to re-read what is happening throughout each month of the
year based on major astrological turning points.
Finally, the third multicolored section contains personalized
astrological predictions for every sign. Don't forget to scroll down to
read these for your Sun, Moon & Rising Sign, and those of your
loved ones! If you don't know your Sun, Moon & Rising Sign, feel
free to check with me or one of the many astrological websites that
contain chart calculation tools if you have your date, time, and place
of birth.
Many of you have asked me if I am continuing to do
Astrological Readings-the answer is YES!-Now more than ever I am hoping
to contribute to our world by imparting the wisdom that astrology
provides. Please don't hesitate to reach out at Laurie@LaurieBaum.com or
760-753-7676 (office landline) if you would like to explore your
Astrological Chart and learn what 2022 has in store for you!
Many Blessings for love & light in
2022,
Laurie
Please read on for the Astrological Forecast for
2022!
The Winter Solstice arrives on Tuesday, December 21st.
This is the day when the sun begins to shine longer and we
celebrate the "return of the light." Use this time to
discover the light within you! Sit to meditate and seek the light in
your spiritual eye. See a vision of yourself feeling calm, happy,
content, and peaceful in the coming year. Your thoughts are powerful at
this time! Surround your image in golden light and project it into the
infinitely supportive cosmic light. Radiate your positive
aspirations from your spiritual eye and from your heart!
You also may notice at this pivotal time that you're
developing a strong center within yourself after experiencing
the precarious years of 2020 and 2021. Living through this period of
lesser outer activity has led to greater inner activity. You have
likely learned to live more peacefully in the present moment. You
have developed greater resilience, inner resources, strength, and
stability. It's in your DNA! You have experienced the durability
of the human spirit as you have adapted to the evolving
terrain.
So, the initial sense of insecurity you may have felt two
years ago is evolving into a greater sense of acceptance and surrender.
Luckily, these qualities will come in handy with the
roller-coaster-like-ride in the astrological transits of 2022.
This newsletter will cover the financial
challenges posed by the Saturn-Uranus square in Aquarius and
Taurus and the Eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio; the transformative
energies afoot in the U.S. government due to the United
States' "Pluto Return" and transformational Pluto's transition
from Capricorn to Aquarius; the spiritual, artistic,
egalitarian, and freedom-loving qualities of the conjunction
of lucky Jupiter with spiritual Neptune in Pisces that will help lead
to the discovery of drugs to curtail the coronavirus; the technological
revolution caused by Uranus; and the search for
new directions inspired by the U.S. "Neptune Opposition."
(scroll down for further information)
In addition to the above, the celestial energies of 2022
could draw you in diverse directions. On the one hand, you'll want
to be like "everyone else" and be accepted by the group but then
you will feel an irrepressible urge to strike out to assert your
individuality and individual sovereignty. At times you will seek
spiritual retreat and at other times, you will long for social
interaction to feel a sense of security and belonging. You will seek to
transcend mundane concerns in exchange for more spiritual pursuits. But
competing worldly distractions could pull you the other way-as you
ultimately strengthen your powerful and purposeful inner core.
These competing drives are all part of the growth process
as we find our new center or point of equilibrium in 2022.
Read on to see what lies ahead-and learn how you can
navigate these unique times!
Spiritual Revolution
A conjunction of spiritual Jupiter and Neptune in
Pisces on April 12, 2022 will ignite a wave of spiritual
activity that will contribute to a global "spiritual awakening."
This celestial event happens every 166 years. You may already
see evidence of heightened spiritual awareness as people increasingly
turn to meditation, prayer, positive thinking, and affirmations when
they have exhausted all outer solutions. This spiritual renaissance will
gain greater momentum in 2022, when you will see an upswing
of spiritual inspirations, practices, and gatherings, both online and
in-person.
The Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces also will
bring a flourishing of arts, music, poetry, and culture-both digital
and physical. It will usher in a more lyrical time that will be the
background music, and a place of mental and emotional refuge, for all
that is otherwise going on in the world.
Further, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces portends
the discovery of drugs and other remedies to treat covid-19.
It also will be a time when boundaries between people,
nations, races, and cultures will blur and eventually dissolve.
The fluidity of this energy may make it even more
difficult to discern fact from fiction.
The Jupiter-Neptune conjunction also portends an
acceleration or intensification of the movement toward equality for all
souls, no matter what their race or ethnicity. The last time Jupiter
and Neptune conjoined in Pisces, it was 1856 and was leading up to the
U.S. Civil War fought over the abolition of slavery. There is a
parallel with the current struggle for equality and freedom
represented by the "Black Lives Matter" movement-a higher octave
of the war to abolish slavery in the 1860s. The process of establishing
equality for all has been glacially slow since 1856. Yet, it has also
blossomed into the "Me Too" movement in the 2020s. You will see an
exponential acceleration of the awareness of the importance of
inclusion and equality in 2022. It will only make our human experience
that much richer!
Another alignment of Neptune in Pisces is involved in the
United States' "Neptune Opposition." This once-every-165-year alignment
between Neptune in the sky and Neptune at the founding of the United
States culminates on March 1, 2022. While this celestial transit
represents a dissolution of the country's previous paths of prosperity,
it also portends a global shift of priorities from material resources
and solutions to spiritual paths to happiness and satisfaction.
Financial Midlife Crisis
The United States' Neptune opposition will cause
a "financial midlife crisis" for the United States. It will bring
an economic erosion that will include greater price inflation and
devaluation of the dollar-it will also engender a greater reliance on
spiritual and heart-centered methods for creating happiness-over and
above material methods alone. There is a greater metaphysical
meaning to the lessened value of the U.S. currency that has to do with
over-reliance on currency to bring contentment, which has resulted in
massive greed and sometimes-deceptive means for attaining financial
wealth. On the surface, inflationary pressures appear to be due to
the pandemic and indiscriminate printing of money for government
spending-but there truly is a deeper, karmic cause.
Financial tests will come in February and March 2022 with
the potential for financial contraction and some dissolution of
monetary gains. Many clients ask about the stock market. This area has
defied gravity since quantitative easing began in March 2009, which
also caused an artificial inflation of the stock market. As
quantitative easing appears to be diminishing, a more realistic picture
may emerge from the financial markets.
As expectations rise in April amid the Jupiter-Neptune
conjunction, there could be a rebound, particularly in industries
involved with water and water purification. Industries involved
in digital technologies, satellites, global delivery systems,
drones, and alternate forms of transportation and communication also
will do well. Older industries whose utility may be more limited
will do less well, and may even flounder.
It could be difficult to track the markets if you are
looking for things to move in a straight line. Overall, it's
prudent to expect wide swings and to protect yourself through
diversification. Most vulnerable economic months are in
February-March, July-August, and October-December. Rebounds are likely
in the April to June period. But do be mindful of the potential
plateauing of financial markets thereafter. Given the erratic quality
of financial markets, the axiom of "buy low and sell high" is more
important than ever.
Taurus-Scorpio Eclipses & the Financial System
A series of eclipses in 2022 will be in the signs of
Taurus and Scorpio, after being in the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius
for the last year-and-a-half. The Gemini-Sagittarius eclipses
focused our minds on information-and misinformation. The Taurus-Scorpio
eclipses will shift our collective focus to finances, resources, and on
discovering what we most value-whether it be currency, resources, human
relationships, or spiritual pursuits.
Eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio also have traditionally
coincided with downturns in financial markets. Taurus-Scorpio eclipses
occur every 18.6 years for 18 months. They last occurred in: 2003-4;
1984-6; 1966-7; 1947-8; 1929-30; and 1910-11. Downturns in the U.S.
stock market occurred in each of these years except for 2003-04, when
U.S stock markets ended the year slightly ahead following a mid-year
downturn.
A global political-economic rebalancing is in store
beginning in 2022. We will see more economic and political power going
to disenfranchised areas of the world, including Africa, South America,
and parts of the Middle East and Asia. This is part of the ultimate
democratization and equalization happening across the globe. The
changes will be valuable for our collective growth-and
ingenuity. The resources in some of these areas, which are more
agriculturally-oriented rather than industrially-oriented, will become
highly valuable to the industrialized world as industrialized nations
increasingly experience shortages of certain foods and supplies.
In that vein, the world economy is poised for
periods of contraction in 2022, followed as well by periods of exuberance.
Greater Self-Empowerment in a Digital World
While the financial system undergoes recalibration in
2022, there also will be an accelerated exchange of ideas and cultural
viewpoints facilitated by continually evolving digital
communications. The resulting cross-pollination of concepts and
cultures will foster a continuing democratization of ideas across the
planet and an unprecedented flowering of thought not previously seen in
our lifetimes. This rapid exchange of ideas is causing an accelerated evolution
in the boundaries of human consciousness.
Concurrently, it is easier than ever before to imagine
the advent of an even more digital world-going beyond digital
communications to digital currencies, digitalized travel and other
experiences, and even, somehow, digitalized images of ourselves
conducting aspects of our lives for us. I'm not putting any judgment on
this-although personally, I prefer a more in-person world-but the new
souls currently incarnating who are going to be the stewards of our new
world are clearly of a more digital mindset-ask any 4-year-old how to
work your smartphone!
As we increasingly live in a less in-person world, each
person is simultaneously discovering what makes him or her happy on an
individual basis, whether it be creativity, spirituality, exercise,
study, or any number of individualistic pursuits. Individuals are
departing from one-size-fits-all existence. You will see more and more
people developing more individualized inner foundations upon which to
build their lives.
Choose Your Stream; Build Your Boat
The challenge that lies ahead is in choosing which
individualized stream you want to go on. This will be the year will be
the year to begin building your boat.
In a world that had perhaps become overly centralized, we
are seeing an eventual dispersion of power into smaller communities and
homes (despite consolidations of power centralized governments may be
vying for). Now, the corporate office has become the home office;
monolithic national governments are floundering; states and smaller
entities are making their own rules to fit their individual
circumstances; standardized medicine is at times giving way to more
natural alternatives; centralized mass food production is giving way to
home gardens; and centralized banking is morphing into a multitude
of decentralized cryptocurrencies, many of which are headed to becoming
viable methods of trade in the future-even if you can't yet remember
all of their names.
Be in the Moment
I don't know how it is where you live, but in my small
community in southern California, people seem to be more frequently
than ever before taking matters into their own hands-providing at-home
medical care, growing their own food, making their own bread, and in
general, making their own rules. People don't always even seem to be
obeying stop signs as they seem to be following their own rhythms and
responding to the needs of the moment. Somehow, it all still seems to
be working-albeit a little more chaotically.
Yet, it is a law of physics that the greatest chaos will
give way to the greatest order. So inevitably, this chaotic period will
lead to a more creative, inventive, evolved time.
When?
The question that astrology can answer is when?
When we look back, 2022 will be the watershed year in
which we will begin to see the a clearer silhouette of what is to
come from the global transformation initiated by the pandemic in
2020. Transformative Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and has
challenged institutions associated with the sign of Capricorn since
then-especially the leaders of governments, corporations, and
organizations, which has led many of these leaders to overly assert
their power to maintain their positions. Pluto also uncovers hidden
information and corruption among leaders in these sectors of
society. Pluto will leave Capricorn in 2023 and 2024 and will move
into the more free-wheeling and individualistic sign of Aquarius in
2024, where it will remain until 2044. The 20-year-period from 2024 to
2044 will truly be the beginning of a more democratic era alongside an
even more transformative digital-electronics revolution.
What to Expect from "Pluto"
As transformative Pluto prepares to finish its 14-year
sojourn through Capricorn to move into the democratic, humanitarian
sign of Aquarius, it also is returning to the place it was at the
United States' Declaration of Independence approximately 246 years ago
(It takes Pluto 246 to 248 years to travel through all 12 signs of the
Zodiac). Pluto has a powerful transformative ability to destroy that
which no longer works to instate a higher level of thinking and being.
As the United States goes through its first ever "Pluto Return,"
we are in this process of dismantling the old in order to rebuild anew.
Pluto will return to the place it was at the founding of the
United States on February 20, 2022, July 11, 2022, and December
28, 2022. These represent pivotal points in 2022. The next Pluto return
for the United States will not recur until February 28, 2268. So, we
will not see a transformation of this magnitude for several more
centuries!
Pluto will go to the roots of governmental and corporate
institutions that we previously relied upon to transform them from
their foundations. This means that the principles upon which the United
States, and all nations, were founded will be challenged until these
principles can be reaffirmed and reestablished. A struggle between
those who would like to uphold what they see as the founding principles
and those who see the principles from other perspectives will
continue.
In the United States, we can already see a struggle
developing around the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of
speech-unimaginable censorship of dissenting voices, involving
de-platforming and shutting down of websites and social media accounts
that do not conform with the majority view, are becoming more frequent.
For those history buffs among you, here is the First Amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances."
Another challenged aspect of the United States' founding
principles is contained in the 10th and 14th Amendments: The Tenth
Amendment gives states all powers not specifically given to the federal
government, including the power to make laws relating to public health.
But, the Fourteenth Amendment places a limit on that power to protect
people's civil liberties. The 14th Amendment prevents states from
infringing on "the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States" without due process of law. The 14th Amendment
states: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
These certainly are principles to contemplate given
current controversy over the legality of health care mandates that can
lead some people to lose their employment.
While the first "American Revolution" was fought
over independence from an imperial authority and freedom from taxation
without representation, the second "revolution" fomenting in the
United States and in other regions of the world, is about similar
issues of independence from potentially authoritarian governments
regarding health care. This second "revolution" will be over freedom to
pursue ideological approaches to the problems that plague the planet.
Struggle Between the New and the Old
The struggle between "the New" and "the Old"
stems from the alignment between structured, institutional Saturn
("the Old") in innovative Aquarius and revolutionary,
free-wheeling Uranus ("the New") in more traditional Taurus.
Uranus rules electricity and technology. Whereas Saturn rules the "old"
in-person way, Uranus rules the remote, digital way. Uranus is the
planet farther away from the Sun than Saturn, therefore it
circumscribes a larger orbit. As a result, its larger orbit encompasses
more celestial territory and exerts greater influence. Uranus is like
the new kid on the block-who brings a new idea. Initially, everyone
resists. But eventually, everyone follows. (No pun intended with
block and "blockchain."}
But speaking of "blockchain," it is a technology that
promises to democratize and revolutionize the world, even though it is
only a precursor to its greater possibilities. Blockchain could
potentially be used for good or ill. It is a word that people initially
may not fully understand, but gradually, the
word "blockchain" is becoming more ubiquitous in
non-technology circles. Blockchain refers to a decentralized
system of recording information that is already used in
cryptocurrencies, supply chain analysis (for efficient delivery
systems), identity security (to prevent things such as so-called voter
fraud), and smart contracts (self-executing and self-enforcing
contracts that are triggered when certain conditions are met).
Blockchain works by maintaining identical copies of information across
computers in a network. Given that the information is distributed
through each part of the member network, it helps facilitate the
security of the "blockchain."
The official square of Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in
Taurus, which is heightening tensions between old and new but also
facilitating rapid technological advances, will conclude on December
24, 2021. However, this celestial alignment will continue to exert an
energetic influence until late October 2022 due to the planets' close
proximity for another year. The reverberations of the Saturn-Uranus square
will likely be with us until Saturn and Uranus conjoin in Gemini in
2032.
The Saturn-Uranus square is responsible for much of the
polarization of ideologies across the planet, between Democrats and
Republicans, vax-ers and non-vax-ers, globalists and "decentralists,"
etc. No one side has the whole story, and unity will only come when
each side can understand the other's side as both honor the viewpoints
of the other. This will facilitate the necessary underlying unity
needed when Pluto moves into Aquarius in 2023-2024. We will begin
seeing the synthesis and harmonizing of viewpoints as this period
unfolds. We will eventually find a more unifying ideology, one that
concentrates on what unifies humanity rather than what divides it!
Concurrently, despite potentially up and down movements
in the business sphere, spiritual endeavors will be broadly supported
in 2022. Again, solid anchoring in your own individuality,
awareness of what makes you happy, and a deep personal connection with
the Divine, are all the protection you will need to move more securely
into the future. Your internal mental, emotional, and spiritual muscles
are on their way to becoming stronger through this exciting
evolutionary process!
With many heartfelt wishes for you for 2022,
Laurie

ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR OF EVENTS
* Venus Retrograde in
Capricorn - December 19 - January 29, 2022 * The love planet Venus retrogrades every 18 months
for approximately 40 days. Use this time to resolve relationship
dynamics from the past to gain greater harmony and awareness.
* Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius &
Capricorn - January 14 - February 3, 2022 * The communications planet Mercury retrogrades for 3
weeks every 3 months. During this time, relax, review, and renew.
Communications can be confused, traffic and travel can be delayed, and
newly-initiated commercial transactions can go awry under this influence.
It is best to complete projects initiated in the past for greatest
success. Secrets could be revealed under this celestial influence.
* Moon's Nodal Shift to
Taurus-Scorpio from Gemini-Sagittarius - January 18,
2022 * The world's attention will
move from information, misinformation, and truth to concerns about
power and money (inflation, currency devaluation, interest rates) in
2022. Great transformation of financial markets will come in 2022.
Financial markets have traditionally declined under this
influence.
* U.S.A. "Pluto
Return" - February 20, 2022, July 11, 2022, December 28,
2022 * It takes the
transformative planet Pluto 246-8 years to orbit the Sun. Thus, it
returns to the place it was in 1776 at the signing of the United
States' Declaration of Independence in 2022. The U.S. "Pluto
Return" occurs 3 times (listed above) due to the retrograde of Pluto.
On a governmental level, depth-seeking Pluto exposes hidden information
and corruption. It reveals hidden motivations and it destroys what is
no longer working in government and corporations. Under Pluto's
influence, there will be power struggles, particularly to maintain the
integrity of the U.S. Constitution's 1st and 14th Amendments
(see "Pluto Return" section above for further information). After
the removal of those aspects of government that are no longer working
for the highest good, a rebuilding of the U.S. government on a more
democratic and equitable level will begin in 2024-2026. This will be
when Pluto enters Aquarius and when there will be greater unification
of ideologies around the globe. (Pluto will be in Aquarius from
2023/4 - 2044. Pluto will have been in Capricorn from 2008 to 2023/4.)
The next U.S. "Pluto Return" will be on February 28, 2268.
* Mars in Capricorn triggers the
Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of 2020 - February 24, 2022 * The Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020 is
widely believed to have been one of the triggers of the Covid-19
pandemic and ensuing economic upheaval. There could be a redoubling of
efforts to combat the virus as well as potential contraction of
financial markets under this influence.
* USA Neptune
Opposition - March 1, 2022 * This celestial alignment happens happens every 165
years and portends potential dissolution of previous prosperity through
currency devaluation and consumer price inflation.
* Mars in Aquarius conjoins Saturn in
Aquarius - April 5, 2022 * This astrological alignment portends potential
restrictions on travel and mobility. Ideological dissension will also
be on the rise. Tempers may flare.
* Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in
Pisces - April 12, 2022 * This once-every-166-year celestial phenomenon last occurred on
March 17, 1856 during the lead-up to the U.S. Civil War. Similar
ideological tensions will rise to the surface for resolution in 2022.
When spiritually-oriented Jupiter and Neptune come together
in the sky, spirituality prevails over materiality. We will see an
uprising of spiritual activity in 2022. Jupiter and Neptune bode better
for spirituality than materiality.
* Venus enters Pisces & Mars
enters Pisces - April 5 & 14, 2022 * Four planets in Pisces will accentuate Pisces
qualities of compassion, forgiveness, and transcendence as well as its
addictive, escapist qualities. It may be difficult to discern fact from
fiction under this influence.
* Partial New Moon Solar Eclipse in
Taurus - April 30, 2022 * This
eclipse will cause financial disruptions and temporary reversals of
fortune that could last up to 6 months. This eclipse will be visible in
the Southeast Pacific, Southern South America, and Antarctica.
* Mercury Retrograde in Gemini &
Taurus - May 10 - June 3, 2022 * The communications planet Mercury retrogrades for 3
weeks every 3 months. During this time, relax, review, and renew.
Communications can be confused, traffic and travel can be delayed, and
newly-initiated commercial transactions can go awry under this
influence. It is best to complete projects initiated in the past for
greatest success. Tempers could flare under this celestial influence.
* Jupiter enters Aries - May
10, 2022 - October 27, 2022 + December 20, 2022 - May 16, 2023 * Jupiter in Aries is an action-oriented astrological
placement that will spur people to take to the streets to voice their
fears, opinions, and demands. It is a more aggressive and less
complacent energy than that which prevailed in the first 4 1/2 months
of 2022.
* Total Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in
Taurus-Scorpio - May 16, 2022 * There could be a temporary rebound in financial
markets due to the movement of expansive Jupiter into Aries on May 10,
2022. Tensions in the Middle East could rise at this time. This eclipse
will be visible in North & South America, Europe, Africa and the
Middle East.
* Mars, Uranus, Node Conjunction
Squaring Saturn - July 31 - August 1, 2022 * This is a volatile celestial alignment. People and
governments could be quite willful and unbending. The intractability
could lead to clouded agendas and conflict. Think twice before engaging
in a confrontation at this time. You may feel differently in the
future.
* Mercury Retrograde in Libra &
Virgo - September 9 - October 2, 2022 * The communications planet Mercury retrogrades for 3
weeks every 3 months. This is a time to relax, review, and renew.
Communications can be confused, traffic and travel can be delayed, and
newly-initiated commercial transactions can go awry under this
influence. It is best to complete projects initiated in the past for
greatest success. This Mercury Retrograde will focus on rectifying
misunderstandings in professional and personal relationships.
* Saturn-square-Uranus within
minutes - October 1-22, 2022 * This is a recapitulation of the tension-producing
energy of the Saturn-Uranus square that caused ideological divisions in
2021. It will re-ignite questions about "the New" versus "the
Old." In this case, "the New" will eventually win.
* Partial New Moon Solar Eclipse in
Scorpio - October 25, 2022 * This
New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio carries with it some aggressive energies
that could ignite tensions held under the surface. Issues buried since
2003-4 could also rise up for resolution. This eclipse will be visible
in Europe, Southern & Western Asia, and Northeast Africa.
* Mars Retrograde in Gemini
- October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023 *Mars retrograde in Gemini will spark further
ideological battles and wars of words. The need for polarized sides to
come together will become more apparent in 2023.
* Jupiter re-enters
Pisces - October 27 - December 20, 2022 * This last passage of expansive Jupiter through
Pisces until 2033 portends the last gasp of "the dream," whatever
the dream is for each individual. Hard work to realize dreams follows
under the influence of Jupiter in Aries until 2023.
* Total Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in
Scorpio & Taurus - November 8, 2022 * This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse coincides with the
mid-term elections in the United States and is conjunct with the
innovative but disruptive planet Uranus. Celestial energies on this day
portend unexpected events, reversals, as well as an opening for
innovative solutions. The energy that spawned the Capitol Riots on
January 6, 2021 could also be reignited on this day. This eclipse will
be visible in North America, most of South America, Northeastern
Europe, Asia, Australia, Artic & Antarctica.
* Jupiter re-enters Aries - December
20, 2022 - May 16, 2023 * People
will take action to manifest their deeply-held desires under the
influence of Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter in Aries can be unidimensional,
however, and see only one side of the story. Try to step back and see
both sides before you take action!
* Mercury Retrograde in
Capricorn- December 29, 2022 to Jan 18, 2023 * The communications planet Mercury retrogrades for 3
weeks every 3 months. During this time, relax, review, and renew.
Communications can be confused, traffic and travel can be delayed, and
newly-initiated commercial transactions can go awry under this
influence. It is best to complete projects initiated in the past for
greatest success. Important concerns that arose in 2020 will arise
again for resolution.
YOUR PERSONAL ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS FOR EVERY SIGN!
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
The new year of 2022 will begin on a hopeful note for the Sign of
Aries. Mars, your planetary ruler, will be in the optimistic sign of
Sagittarius until January 24, 2022. This will give you an opening to
make ambitious plans destined to come to fruition in the coming year of
2022. Mars in Capricorn from January 24 to March 5, 2022 will
help you find practical solutions so you may put your unique plans into
action. You have many creative ideas in your mind-and this is the year
to manifest your goals! Karmic Saturn in Aquarius will guide you to
create activities that benefit the greater whole rather than one
individual alone. A series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late
April-May and late October-November will shift your focus onto
financial prosperity and planning. Most fertile times for making new
plans will be in late May and December. You will see your resources in
a new light. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in
Pisces on April 12, 2022 will deepen your connection to
Spirit and make your meditations a fertile oasis for
self-transformation. If there is something you would like to change
about yourself or your life-this is the year to do it!
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You may feel a little nostalgic about the past as the new year of 2022
begins. This is because loving Venus, your planetary ruler, is
retrograde from December 19, 2021 until January 29, 2022. This
planetary transit will prompt you to reminisce about loving experiences
from the past. Use this time to contact loved ones who you may
have fallen out of touch with. There is some important news you'll
likely catch up on. The changing direction of Uranus in Taurus in the
sky on January 18, 2022 will help you make a change you have been
desiring for a long time. If you are deciding between past traditions
and new innovations, the new will be more beneficial for you than the
old. A shift in the nodes of the moon from Gemini and Sagittarius
to Taurus and Scorpio this year will put the spotlight on you and
your relationship to your financial undertakings. Under the influence
of a series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio (in late April-May and
late October-November) you will begin to understand what is truly of
value to you-and it may not be financial after all. A conjunction
of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in Pisces on April 12,
2022 will introduce you to new people who will open your eyes to a
whole new way of looking at the world. These people may seem very
carefree to you-because they don't take the material world as seriously
as you do. There is something important to learn from them about
non-attachment, about doing your best without attachment to results,
and about surrendering results to the Divine. The Jupiter-Neptune
conjunction in Pisces will also show you how to live with less
structure so you may more easily live in the flow of universal
forces through your daily life rather than through routines or
schedules.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)
The new year of 2022 will get off to a slow start for
communications-oriented Gemini and Virgo as Mercury, the communications
planet, is retrograde from January 14 to February 3, 2022. This is a
productive time for self-reflection and introspection rather than outer
activity. You will discover an important perspective on yourself during
this time. The new information unearthed will help you move more
clearly and successfully into the future! Venus retrograde until
January 29, 2022, combined with Mercury retrograde, may cause you to
reconsider decisions from the past. Wait until February to make a final
decision. The transition of the moon's nodes from Gemini and
Sagittarius to Taurus and Scorpio this year will influence you to delve
into your past to discover fond memories of previous spiritual
experiences. This experience will encourage you to cultivate
your "divine memory," that is, memories of past spiritual
experiences that you can reflect upon to re-ignite current spiritual
energies. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in
Pisces on April 12, 2022 will support your spiritual
pursuits and show you how to follow divine guidance rather than mental
constructs. Plan to make important decisions and complete important
contracts before and after the following Mercury Retrograde
periods: May 10 to June 3, 2022, September 9 to October 2,
2022, and December 29, 2022 to January 18, 2023. These are
times when Gemini natives are particularly vulnerable to
miscommunications and ensuing misunderstandings. Slow down, breathe
deeply, and check your communications twice-or three times!
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
The Cancer Full Moon on January 17, 2022 will enable you to feel like
you are reaching a culmination in efforts you have expended in the
months since you last birthday. This is a good time to enjoy the fruits
of your labors! With the Sun in your opposing sign of Capricorn until
January 19, 2022, this is the perfect time to enjoy your important
relationships. You will be easily able to harmonize with others during
the coming months with loving Venus in your opposing sign of Capricorn
from November 5, 2021 to March 5, 2022. Energetic Mars in Capricorn
from January 24 to March 5, 2022 also will give you stamina to balance
your personal life with your outside commitments. A conjunction of
lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in Pisces on April 12,
2022 will support you to engage in spiritual practice. This is a
good time for meditation, prayer, affirmations, and spiritual study.
You will find your calm center during these activities. A series
of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May and late
October-November will bring you into contact with children. You also
will notice a reconfiguration of your constellation of friendships as
you will begin to more readily come into social contact with people who
are more appropriate for your current stage of evolution.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Communicative Mercury will be in your opposing sign of Aquarius from
January 2 to January 26, 2022 and again from February 14 to March 9,
2022. This celestial transit will expose you to many new and unique
perspectives that will lead you to new and interesting paths. The Sun
in your opposing (but supportive and balancing) sign of Aquarius from
January 19 to February 18, 2022 will bring helpful people to support
you on your new ventures. Venus in Aquarius from March 5 to April 5,
2022 and Mars in Aquarius from March 5 to April 15, 2022 will enable
you to put your new concepts easily into action! A square angle in the
heavens between manifestation-oriented Saturn in Aquarius and
innovative Uranus in Taurus will ensure that your ideas are original
and will create breakthroughs! A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and
other-worldly Neptune in Pisces on April 12, 2022 will bring
greater depth to your spiritual practice. A series of eclipses in
Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May and late October-November will
challenge your creative idea but will lead to important revisions. Use
your dramatic flair to get your message across!
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Lucky Jupiter in your opposing sign of Pisces from December
28, 2021 to May 10, 2022, and again from October 27 to December 20,
2022 will bring you good fortune! Stay open to new possibilities and be
prepared to have new experiences-especially when it comes to meeting
new people and forming new kinds of partnerships in your professional
and social life! You are ready for a growth spurt in 2022. With dreamy
Neptune in your opposing sign of Pisces as well, you will see old ways
dissolve as new and more creative methods emerge. You are ready for
positive change this year. With Mercury,
your communications-oriented planetary ruler, in
retrograde from January 14 to February 3, 2022, May 10 to
June 3, 2022, September 9 to October 2,
2022, and December 29, 2022 to January 18, 2023, you
have four 3-week productive periods to consider doing old things in new
ways. The new way will always be better than the old way under the
influence of Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus this year. A
conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in your opposing
sign of Pisces on April 12, 2022 will enable you to see
the soul qualities of a person you may have taken for granted in the
past. A series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May
and late October-November will change the dynamics of a relationship
with a neighbor or a close sibling. In either case, you will discover
useful information that had been hidden in the past.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 23)
You will be ready to make a change in your home life in
the new year of 2022 due to Venus, your planetary ruler, retrograding
through Capricorn until January 29, 2022. This is a positive time to
try new, beneficial approaches to your home decor, functionality of
accoutrements in the kitchen, or the dynamics of family relationships.
Mercury retrograde in Capricorn from January 14 to February 3,
2022 will further assist you to reconsider past dynamics so you can
design new solutions. Change-oriented Uranus in Taurus will support you
to take important transformative steps throughout the year of 2022.
This is a time to begin by making incremental adjustments to daily
routines in order to effect more sweeping changes in
your overall life. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and
spiritual Neptune in Pisces on April 12, 2022 will support
new work projects that contribute to an altruistic cause. A series of
eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May and late
October-November will cause you to review your financial statements and
your budget. Your resources will go farther than expected in some
departments of life while shortfalls may crop up in other areas. You
are masterful at balancing acts. This will be a year to express your
magic when it comes to allocating resources to various priorities.
Mercury retrograde in Libra and Virgo from September 9 to October
2, 2022 will be a fortunate time to reconfigure past financial
decisions.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 21)
You will benefit by focusing on financial matters and
budgets in the early days of 2022 while your planetary co-rulers, Mars
and Pluto, travel together through Capricorn from January 24 to
March 5, 2022. This is an auspicious time to experiment with new types
of financial instruments and to implement new and successful investment
strategies. With change-oriented Uranus in Taurus throughout the year,
be sure to stick with your commitments. Your word is powerful! A
conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in the compatible
water sign of Pisces on April 12, 2022 will awaken your spiritual
creativity-you are looking for something new to inspire you. A series
of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May and late
October-November could turn your world inside out if you are not on the
life trajectory that is right for you. Plan to introspect to
determine "right action" in every decision you face. Think back to
pivotal points you had reached in 2003. Inevitably, unresolved issues
from 2003-4 will arise again for resolution. Saturn in Aquarius
squaring Uranus in Taurus in the sky could make you feel as if you have
to hurry up-and then wait. This could be a year in which you feel you
are taking 2 steps forward and 1 back. But ultimately, each extra step
(2-1=1) will lead in the direction you want to go. Keep your vision and
your overall intention uppermost in your mind!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Energetic Mars in Sagittarius until January 24, 2022 will boost your
spirits and bolster your optimistic approach. Take advantage of this
time to accomplish goals you have been planning for as long as two
years. Lucky Jupiter, your planetary ruler, in Pisces from
December 28, 2021 to May 10, 2022 and again from October 27 to December
20, 2022, will give you positive results from spiritual practice and
random acts of kindness. Saturn in Aquarius throughout the year will
help you refine your original ideas so you may communicate them to
others. Uranus in Taurus throughout the year of 2022 will enable you to
modify daily routines to experience greater efficiency in your daily
life. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in
Pisces on April 12, 2022 will awaken your deep spiritual
and philosophical nature and move you to introspect and further explore
your inner nature. The more you understand of your inner world, the
more you will understand the events in the outer world swirling around
you. A series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May
and late October-November will not only help you to refine your diet
but will help you resolve any emotional issues that are impediments to
perfect health. Your strong fiery constitution is longing for unbridled
expression-this is a time to find the outlet that makes you happy-and
go for it!
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
January is a month to begin implementing changes you have been
contemplating since early last year. The Sun in Capricorn until January
19, 2022 will strengthen your foundations. Your willpower will be
further fortified by the celestial passage of Venus and Mars through
Capricorn until March 5, 2022. Make sure to rectify any
misunderstandings from the past while Venus is retrograde in Capricorn
from December 19, 2021 to January 29, 2022. Use this time to contact
important people who you may have fallen out of touch with during the
past two years. You do well when you build upon foundations established
in the past. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune
in Pisces on April 12, 2022 will open your mind to a new
spiritual concept. A series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in
late April-May and late October-November will help you discover a gift
in a friend you have not been paying attention to. You will see various
individuals in your life with new eyes-and including them in your
circle will enrich your life beyond your imagination. Open your heart
and mind to new people and experiences!
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Communicative Mercury will be in Aquarius from January 2 to January 26,
2022 and again from February 14 to March 9, 2022. This celestial
transit will support you to express your avant-garde ideas
to people who are receptive to your point of view. Convey the level of
caring you feel for these people to engender greatest receptivity.
Consider making any necessary changes to the pattern of your life while
Mercury is retrograde from January 14 to February 3, 2022. Then,
prepare to implement your new strategies when Mars enters Aquarius from
March 5 to April 14, 2022. Venus in
Aquarius from March 5 to April 5, 2022 will also support you. A conjunction
of lucky Jupiter and spiritual Neptune in Pisces on April 12,
2022 will enable you to use your mind-your thoughts and your
visualizations-to manifest the prosperity you are seeking! Think good
thoughts and support them with visions of what you would like to
create. This is your time to experience your potential to create
abundance. A series of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late
April-May and late October-November will create new career
opportunities as well as a potential change in your home life. You
don't have to move to a new physical location to perceive new
possibilities in the way you live your daily life. This could involve
mental gymnastics that enable you to discover new options you had not
considered before. This is a good time to experiment! Saturn in
Aquarius throughout the year will enable you to make the most practical
choices.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Lucky Jupiter in Pisces from from December 28,
2021 to May 10, 2022 and again from October 27 to December 20, 2022
will support you to manifest your dreams in 2022! Think about what you
want to accomplish in the early part of the year so that you may fully
manifest your vision in the latter part of 2022. Planning and
strategizing for the coming year will be especially powerful under the
reflective influence of Mercury retrograde from January 14 to
February 3, 2022 and Venus retrograde from December 19, 2021
until January 29, 2022. Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn will
make this a particularly auspicious year for you to learn about new
ideas and philosophies. A conjunction of lucky Jupiter and
spiritual Neptune in your sign of Pisces on April 12,
2022 will strengthen your powers of visualization and
manifestation. Think about what you would like to create, conjure an
image in your mind, and take initial action steps. A series of
eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio in late April-May and late
October-November will challenge you to put your futuristic impressions
into written or verbal form. It may not be easy to put impressionistic
thoughts into physical form, but this process will bring you a great
degree of clarity that will guide you for the rest of the year.
Arriving at this inner clarity will strengthen your core and empower
you to fully be your authentic self!
