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
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
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
