Astrological Monthly Forecast January 2022
Happy New Year, dear readers!
Welcome to 2022, the Chinese Year of the Tiger!
The shift of the Lunar Nodes from mutable polarity Gemini/Sagittarius to Fixed polarity Taurus/Scorpio from January 19, 2022 puts the focus on economy and scarcity and this influence is already clearly noticeable in January 2022. 
With the coincident eclipses in 2022, this year is about changes in the way we think about security and stability. The shift from the Gemini/Sagittarius Moon nodes to the Taurus/Scorpio polarity could greatly affect those with natal Sun or ascendant in Taurus and Scorpio over the next 18 months. With this energy, we need to focus on ‘what could be’ instead of ‘what used to be’ with themes such as privacy, security, money and art. Tangible matter of course must be let go and economic sacrifices must be made to secure the future.
The year 2022 begins with Venus retrograde (until January 29, 2022) and ends with Mars retrograde (from October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023). In addition to a strong female influence, this influence shows a year in which it is mainly about social relationships and the cosmic feeling of connection in our lives. Venus retrograde in Capricorn to January 29, 2022 can politically indicate strained relationships, but also in the personal sphere people feel overlooked.
If deep-seated relational imbalances during this retrograde Venus will not resolved fairly, then problems come back like a boomerang, after the retrograde period of Venus.
The year 2022 is the year of changes and that trend is clearly unfolding with the planetary influences of January 2022.
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has been traveling through the water sign of Pisces since December 30, 2021, looking for Neptune in Pisces.
On April 9, 2022, the great Jupiter will form a rare conjunction with Neptune in Pisces.
However, in addition to the increasing desire for spiritual release from chaos, due to the increasing conjunction of Jupiter (abundance) and Neptune (viruses) in Pisces until May 9, 2022, we must take into account new variants of the Omicron Covid virus. From May 10, 2022 to May 16, 2023, Jupiter will travel through the fire sign of Aries, during which time we can count on improved vaccines and stabilization of the virus situation.
From December 14, 2021, red Warrior Mars steamrolls through Sagittarius.
At the start of 2022, real estate sales could be competitive and profitable thanks to Mars in Sagittarius. In addition to a huge increase in online shopping, it seems direct Neptune in Pisces (since December 1, 2021), a slight economic improvement will occur after two years of financial and economic disruption and job losses.
However, on December 24, 2021 was the third exact square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus and this planetary challenge will continue to have a major economic impact in January 2022. Health issues and global economy will be anything but stable, Bitcoin price may be highly volatile. Investing in gold and microchips can be wise, but remain cautious with investments, especially in the first half of January 2022.
Until March 2022, we will experience unexpected events related to healthcare and wellness, hospital procedures, medical facilities and pharmaceutical developments, mental health with an emphasis on anxiety and depression, a volatile stock market, rise in energy costs, high cost of living, scarcity of fuel and high inflation. Property prices are set to fall over the course of 2022-23 due to reduced bank borrowings and real estate market slowdowns.
Saturn and Uranus will continue to collide with each other until March 2022 and after a period of “relative calm”, these planetary giants will clash again from August 2022 to March 7, 2023.
An unavoidable credit squeeze during these cycles could have a major impact on global market trade, bank loans, home financing and other lending.
The influence of Mars in Sagittarius along with other planetary influences will lead to extreme weather events such as heavy snowfall, hail, hurricanes or tornadoes until January 24, 2022, with massive damage to homes and property.
Back to January 2022…..
January 2022 kicks off on January 2, 2022 with the first New Moon of 2022 in the Earth sign of Capricorn.

From January 3, 2022, our cosmic messenger Mercury will travel through Aquarius, punctuated by a temporary retrograde return to Capricorn from January 27, 2022.
Mercury retrograde is about everything that involves communication, all forms of transport, thinking, every day life, the network of which our whole world and society is part of.
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius from January 14 to February 26, 2022, hits the brakes to reorganize, repair, revise, explore, troubleshoot and fine-tune future plans. During this cosmic “time-out” there is a revision of projects and ideas, there is also room for Intellectual growth and self-reflection, but in social relationships there is more emotional distance and disagreements with friends, organizations and work groups. Throughout January until the end of February 2022, due to the shadow period, we have to take into account all kinds of delays in transport, connections, planning and logistics Take into account delays en route, road closures, breakdowns, technological delays, accidents and cancellations due to weather conditions.
On January 17, 2022, the Full Moon will be in the water sign of Cancer and during that emotional Full Moon, the Sun at 26º will form an exact conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn.

From January 18, 2022, Uranus will resume its direct orbit around the Sun at 10º49 in Taurus.
Revolutionary Uranus, astrological ruler of Aquarius, went retrograde from August 20, 2021.
For the past five months, the revolutionary energies of retrograde Uranus have been directed inward. An interim period of relative ‘rest’ has come to an end.
The released pent-up energy both individually and collectively is enormous, so suppressed energy erupts on a personal and global scale.
In the coming months, we must anticipate sudden, unexpected events and revolutionary developments in our monetary system and in information technology.
From January 21, 2022, the Sun will shine in innovative and creative Aquarius.
Especially now that Uranus, ruler of Aquarius is no longer retrograde, in these complicated economic times we must consider the ongoing pandemic, health regulation, social media regulation, political disruption, threat of war, fraud and corruption, human rights violations and economic hardship.
So not much will change in the tumultuous political, social and medical landscape of 2022….
But in late January, thanks to the forward flow of Venus in Capricorn from January 29, 2022, our social lives will get a much-needed boost…..!
Wishing you all a safe January 2022!
