January 2022 Monthly Horoscopes

Relationship Revamps.

Happy (Gregorian) New Year!!!

It's a new year, month, week, and day...but this month, we'll be revisiting many old things, namely relationships.

We begin the year with some retrograde energy; Venus retrograde in Capricorn, to be exact.  For 40 days and 40 nights, we'll be revisiting past relationships or past relationship issues.  

Venus isn't the only planet bringing up the past this month.  The fan-favorite, Mercury retrograde, will make an appearance as well.  

Luckily, this month isn't all about looking in the rearview mirror.  Midmonth, Uranus will go direct and catapult us into the future in a significant way.

This month is about getting your mind and money right to set you up for a successful year ahead.

The month begins with a powerful and fortuitous New Moon in Capricorn on Jan. 2nd.  With a harmonious trine to Uranus, this New Moon will give us the energy to erect new and beneficial structures in our lives.  Don't be surprised if you get a flash of insight or a pleasant surprise.

That same day, Mercury, the planet of communication and ideas, will make its way into Aquarius.  Mercury is exalted in Aquarius, which means its energy is extra powerful.  Futuristic thinking and linking up with like-minded people are characteristics of this transit.

On Jan. 14th, Mercury will go retrograde in Aquarius.  It will be time to plan, strategize, and reflect on what you want your future to look and feel like for the next few weeks.

On Jan. 17th, the Full Moon in Cancer will have us all in our feelings.  This Moon will not only be highly emotional but will be transformative as well.  

Uranus, the planet of rebellion and surprise, stations direct on Jan. 18th.  With this change of direction, Uranus will now allow us to break barriers and venture out of our comfort zones.

On Jan. 19th, Aquarius season officially begins.  This season is marked by lots of thinking, communicating, and linking up with friends.  Over the next couple of weeks, socialize and share your ideas.

Expect to be revved up and motivated to start new projects and kick your career into high gear when Mars enters Capricorn on Jan. 24th.  

On Jan. 25th, Mercury back peddles into Capricorn, which allows us to rethink and reevaluate our careers, reputation, social standing, and life in general.

Finally, the month ends with Venus going direct in Capricorn on Jan. 29th.  All that reevaluation and revisiting we've been doing concerning love and money can now be put to good use...and just in time for Valentine's Day!
