Greetings cosmic truth seekers! Welcome to your 2022 astrological forecast. This year spotlights a possible correction in the stock market or in finances overall, and a possible change in healthcare, with a focus on spiritual wellness. The financial shift is triggered by the eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio as well as Uranus and the north node of the moon transiting in sign of Taurus. While last year’s focus on mental health was paramount, this year we will incorporate a more compassionate approach in dealing with all earthly matters triggered by both optimistic Jupiter and inspirational Neptune meeting up in Pisces during the first half of this year. The following is a general forecast for all 12 rising signs followed by the lunar cycles. I wish you well during your journey this year.
Rising Signs
Aries
The first half of this year spotlights career movement or changes. This is triggered by Mercury, Venus and Mars all making a pit stop through the sign of Capricorn which impacts your career house. Pluto, the planet of transformation is also making its presence known in this area of your chart. These combined energies will bring added responsibilities or changes that will help you express your unique skill set and talents. Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and luck makes a significant stop in your sign from May to October foretelling blessings that may present themselves during these months and again during the first half of 2023.
Taurus
This year will be spotlighted more so because of the lunar eclipses and the north node of the moon affecting your sign in 2022-2023. This year will bring beginnings and endings in your life. These changes are part of the cycle of evolution and spiritual growth. Friends and others play a part in your newer chapter. Venus, your ruling planet starts the year off retrograde which can help you reevaluate your financial matters. This is not a good time to invest in a significant purchase. Mars in your sign gives you a boost of energy during the summer. The eclipses in last quarter can be a turning point of changes since Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, will be affecting the Taurus/Scorpio axes.
Gemini
The first part of this year will have your ruling planet, Mercury in a retrograde motion. This period, including the shadow portion, will take up the first seven weeks of the year. This warrants a time of patience regarding travels, communications, and electronics, especially again in May when Mercury retrogrades in your sign. Mars, the planet of energy and action will retrograde in your sign and impact you from the end of summer until the beginning of 2023. This is a strong transit, and its purpose is to reassess how you spend your time, and especially how you utilize your energy. This retrograde is influenced by Saturn, the planet of discipline and Neptune, the planet of compassion. This is favorable for changing any unhealthy habits or releasing toxic circumstances that drains your energy. It’s not a time to start a new project but it does support an opportunity to clear out old behaviors.
Cancer
The year starts out with Venus, the planet of love and money, retrograde in your house of relationships. This influence started in December 2021 and will impact this area of life until the end of February. This period can restructure your current relationship or trigger a past lover back into your life. This is a period of healing any past life connection or earlier unions in this lifetime. The favorable trine from Jupiter in Pisces provides optimism and opportunities in any area of life during the springtime, but Jupiter goes into Aries and will strongly impact your career house during the summer months. Pluto, the planet of transformation goes direct in your house of relationship during the last quarter. This is favorable for uniting and rebuilding a strong and healthy partnership.

Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure, continues its trek through your house of relationships. This transit teaches lessons in diplomacy, objectivity, and commitment. This is a favorable time to build bridges with others and take down walls that block intimacy. If your current union is not solid, it could end. However, this transit often leads to a commitment that stands the test of time, and this connection can solidify in the last quarter when Saturn turns direct. The lunar eclipses will impact both your home and career houses throughout the year. Changes in either area is likely, but especially in career, since transiting Uranus, the planet of change, is impacting this area.
Virgo

The lunar eclipses in the Taurus/Scorpio polarities impacts you from 2022 until 2023. This year spotlights areas of self-identity versus unions with others.

There’s a focus on physical and spiritual health due to the nodes of the moon affecting your house of health, work and service and your house of redemption and surrender.
