The first of four Mercury Retrograde transits begins on Friday, January 14 starting in Aquarius and ending on February 3 in Capricorn. I have always told my clients and have written posts about my opinion that Mercury Retrograde chaos is blown out of proportion. The energy is in fact a cosmic do-over, giving us the opportunity to re-work, re-vise and re-view past issues and goals we may have put aside.
This month, the planets and stars ask you to consider the gift of structure, mastery, and patience in your life. This year’s rare astrological alignments hold a lot of promise, unlike the chaotic changes brought about in 2020. In 2021 we began the rebuilding and healing process. I know that it may seem like our forward progress has now been hindered by the Omicron variant, but there is evidence it may pass quickly. Not that we shouldn’t maintain our vigilance!
I am really looking forward to this transit, as this is the type of healing energy we all need. Jupiter first moved into Pisces on May 13, 2021, and then retrogrades out into Aquarius on July 29, 2021. He now has re-entered Pisces on December 28, 2021, and will remain in Pisces through the end of 2022 with a brief dip into Aries from May to October.
Lovely Venus takes a journey backwards every eighteen months, mixing things up for all of us. This year, she’ll begin her retrograde journey on December 18, 2021 until January 28, 2022. This is already a stressful time (along with the lingering stress from the pandemic) to begin with so Lady Venus going backwards can certainly be the last straw. But I have a few tricks that will help you cope with the chaos. Read on…
The astrology forecast for December the focus moves towards the upcoming transits that will take us into 2022 and the retrograde of Venus, as well as Jupiter’s entrance into Pisces.
By the time the new moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius arrives on December 4, the romantic fog can quickly become confusing. At this powerful lunation, the sun, moon, and Mercury will be squaring Neptune in Pisces. While this lunation is vibrant and optimistic, it’s not a great time to begin anything new. Eclipses are about surrendering, especially when Neptune is trying to get us off the mundane and into the world of dreams and fantasy. This month, avoid as many responsibilities as you can and let yourself be inspired.
