2022 is here! This year is about harmony, truth, and the balance of giving and receiving. We find ourselves needing more time to connect with Spirit and recover physically, mentally, and emotionally. How we take care of ourselves and each other rises in importance as we recognize even more that we’re in this together.
The transits of 2022 show us how energy is moving and manifesting within and without. Being conscious of it means you can choose to work with it, and that makes all the difference. Let’s get into it with Astrology 2022: Top Cosmic Events for the Year Ahead.
Note: The following dates are calculated in Pacific Time.
Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius & Capricorn (January 14 – February 3)
Mercury turns retrograde about three times a year. This year, a fourth one begins at the end of the year. This first round of Mercury Retrograde is in Aquarius and Capricorn. In Aquarius, Mercury Retrograde attempts to get us to reconsider our ideas about progress. Are we really moving forward in a direction that’s better for everyone? And when it dips back into Capricorn, our rules, procedures, and even wisdom can crumble – as we discover they don’t work anymore, not in these shifting times.
Mercury Retrograde is always a chance to slow down, stop, and check-in. What story are you telling yourself about what you’re doing and what’s happening? There are other views, and they bring different opportunities. Some reconnect us with the past, and some step us into the future. We need both. If you’re willing to shift your perception, it’s a great time to reinvent, re-do, and revise almost anything.

Lunar Nodes enter Taurus and Scorpio (January 18)
When the lunar nodes enter Taurus and Scorpio on January 18, we shift to a new collective path of karma and dharma. The nodes have been in Gemini and Sagittarius since May 2020. During that time, we dealt with old karma around rigid beliefs, justice, and righteousness. We needed to open our minds and question the “truth.”
Now, the North Node in Taurus calls us to calm down, trust our instincts, and build a new foundation. The South Node in Scorpio brings up old karmic patterns involving control, power dynamics, and manipulation. All that energy is dramatic and complicated – to find equilibrium, we need to let it go. The North Node in Taurus guides us to live with more stability, ease, and simplicity. Taurus is also self-sufficient.
It’s time to put in the work for what’s truly worth it. The nodes will be in Taurus and Scorpio until July 2023, so get in the flow early to make the most of it.
Note: The lunar nodes are naturally retrograde and move backward – so they go from Gemini to Taurus, to Aries, etc.
Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces (April 12)
Jupiter and Neptune come together every 12 or 13 years, but they haven’t met in Pisces since 1856. In Pisces, these planets bring an abundance of idealism, mysticism, and emotional and psychic sensitivity. On the light side, this can open the floodgates of love, compassion, and connection with something greater than ourselves.
On the shadow side, we might feel isolated and alone, buy into false illusions, or turn to escapism. At its best, this rare connection can open us to what is usually unconscious, expanding our awareness and accelerating spiritual awakening. We may also more easily tune in to other intelligences and frequencies – the cosmic field will be open!
