For The Month Of January 2022

Overview

Very Ambitious

It looks like you’ll be aiming high as 2022 gets underway, Aries, with plenty of action in your sector of ambition. The new moon here on Jan. 2 is perfect for hitching your wagon to a star and initiating something big.

You’ll need to be patient, though, because lovely Venus continues retrograde until the twenty-ninth, and people’s reactions to your plans could change. But, with the radiant sun cheering you on until Jan. 19, this is an excellent time to devise a strategy to accomplish them.

There are other reasons to be patient this month. Chatty Mercury turns retrograde on the fourteenth and remains so until Feb. 3, meaning circumstances could change, and you might have to restructure your ideas. It would be better to do this than be in too much of a hurry and lose out.

It might be time to look into your work-life balance around the full moon on Jan. 17. If you tend to get overwhelmed, you could feel an urgent push to do something about it.

The sun moves into humanitarian Aquarius on the nineteenth for four weeks, which puts the emphasis on your social sector, networking, and teamwork. It’s a chance for you to see your friendships and group affiliations in perspective and make some new decisions.

You’ll be more fired up on Jan. 24 as dynamic Mars moves into practical Capricorn for around six weeks. You might find you are more driven and determined that nothing will stop you from pushing ahead.

Charming Venus turns direct in Capricorn on the twenty-ninth, bringing an end to her retrograde phase and ushering in a time of decisions and new beginnings. You might see key relationships and agreements in a new way, and this shift could be behind some important changes.

Finally, with a second new moon—a blue moon—in Aquarius on Jan. 31, this month gives you yet one more chance to manifest your dreams.

Love & Romance

It’s a new year and a new month, Aries, and you’re surrounded by the exhilarating combination of your ruler Mars in fiery Sagittarius to start things off with a bang! Everything moves pretty quickly with this transit, so there’s no time to think. When you’re running on adrenaline and reactions, your love life is really exciting!

Jan. 11 highlights a suspicious Mars-Neptune square that brings a lot of questions to mind. Whether you’ve been in a long-term partnership or are just getting to know someone, you have a lot of doubts about their true intentions now. Your dreams are revealing.

The sun leaves behind the excitement of Sagittarius as it moves into quirky Aquarius on the nineteenth, and, for the next month, you’ll be seeking more freedom than you have in a while. You like to be alone with your offbeat thoughts now, and the object of your affections (if you’re involved with someone) will have to try to understand your need for space.

The partnership between Mars and fiery Sagittarius ends when the red planet moves into earth sign Capricorn on Jan. 24, at which point you might physically feel the shift in energy. It’s not that you don’t still have the same sexual urges you had in the last month, but you’re able to focus on less pleasurable, more responsible things now.

Career & Work

The planetary retrogrades that occur this month could create a lot of ambiguity and concern in your professional life, Aries. 

Venus, which has been retrograde since Dec. 19, 2021, will still be moonwalking through the career sector of your chart until it turns direct on Jan. 29. The 40 days of the retrograde have raised a few red flags that are allowing you to see if you want to pursue the same career for the rest of your life. It’s possible that you’ve been thinking about branching out into another role at your company, taking another position somewhere else, or deciding if your job is bringing you the fame and acclaim you desire. 

However, before you make any impulsive moves (which can happen during the retrograde), take the time to decide if you want to invest the energy into attaining these goals. 

The entrance of Mars into the career sector of your chart on the twenty-fourth and Mercury backing into Capricorn the next day could encourage you to make impulsive decisions, but you don’t have to! Think things through, at least until Jan. 29, to be sure you’re making the best decision for you and not acting from a place of ego.
