Astrology Forecast for the Week of February 7, 2022 – February 13, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of February 7, 2022 through February 13, 2022 features only two planetary aspects – Mars trine Uranus and Mercury conjunct Pluto.

So, energetically speaking, it’s a slow week. But, after two planetary retrogrades (Mercury and Venus), we need a bit of a break.

Let’s dive in…

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week occurs on Friday, when Mercury conjoins Pluto for the third time in the last two months. Mercury conjoin Pluto adds a bit of intensity to the mind, and it’s easy to see beneath the surface of things, especially other people’s agendas. But, even though you see the ‘truth of the matter’, it’s best to keep it to yourself for now, because this aspect easily triggers opposition from others. So, use any knowledge you receive carefully, and try not to become obsessed with proving your point.

Also, it’s best to avoid gossip (giving and receiving), because it could lead to potential blowback.

Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022 features a Full Moon in Cancer, Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, a Sun-Mercury conjunction, and the end of Capricorn as we usher in Aquarius season.

There is not much planetary action this week, so let’s dive in.

Cosmic Overview

The Full Moon occurs in Cancer this week at 6:48 PM EST/3:48 PM PST. This Full Moon is potent because it opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Full Moon opposing Pluto can bring up toxic familial drama or emotional situations where you have lost your power to deal with them internally or externally. Full Moons are emotionally intense, but this one is off the chain. So, get prepared!

Astro Magic Pro Tip:

Cancer Full Moons are an auspicious time to work through family of origin issues or to let go of emotional pain and hurts. It’s also an excellent time for healing work and ridding yourself of health issues. So, if you need to let go of something emotional, this is the Full Moon to get it done, once and for all.

The Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 10, 2022 – January 16, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of January 10, 2022 through January 16, 2022 features three major aspects (Sun trine Neptune, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun conjoined to Pluto) and Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius.

So, with all the Neptunian energy and with the inclusion of Mercury retrograde, make sure you verify everything before making decisions, because the truth may be elusive and hard to grasp.

Let’s dive into the forecast!

Cosmic Overview:

This week, Mercury joins the love goddess (Venus) by turning retrograde in Aquarius on Friday morning. Mercury will remain retrograde until February 3, 2022.

At its root, the sign of Aquarius is about how we can improve our lives. Aquarius is about progress and pushing society forward, rather than staying stuck in the present or being bound to the past. Mercury moving through Aquarius augurs a time when we should focus on areas where we can improve our lives or focus on what needs to be fixed or repaired. Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius helps us look at the decisions and choices we have made over the past three months that may be preventing our growth. This gives us the chance to course correct if necessary. The silver lining is that with Mercury being retrograde, we can see the areas that need to be fixed easier.

Mercury retrogrades before it can complete its conjunction to Saturn, but it will remain within orb for the next week. Mercury conjoined to Saturn is frustrating and can lead to negative mindsets. It may be difficult to communicate and express yourself to others. So, try to push away negative thoughts as they surface, and you may need to practice some self-care to manage your emotions.

Otherwise, traditional Mercury retrograde warnings are applicable. Make sure you back up electronic devices, finalize plans, and sign documents before the retrograde begins. Here is a checklist to help you during the retrograde cycle.

Mercury Rx Dirty Dozen! Tips and Tricks to Wrangling the Trickster God

Let’s begin with the recommendations (Notice I didn’t use the lists of should or should not? Mainly because we should never should on ourselves).

Make sure you go over anything contractual thoroughly. Make sure all the i’s are dotted, and all the t’s are crossed. If you can get away with it, wait until after the retrograde is over to sign on the dotted line.
Avoid starting anything new. New projects tend to have communication problems and mishaps when initiated during this process.
Put a watch on your tongue. (If it is not worth saying, don’t say it)
Check your vehicles for any potential problems. Before Mercury goes retrograde, is the best time for a service call.
Avoid buying real estate or renting apartments. Usually, this means you will move again during a future Mercury Rx.
Using mail delivery services that offer tracking and insurance.
Check, recheck, and check again any travel plans you have or appointments on the books.
If you do travel, don’t take anything of importance or value. Only bring items that you do not care if they are lost or stolen.
Expect people from the past to resurface. However, once they crawl out of whatever cavern they came from, proceed with caution.
Back up all electronic devices.
Avoid buying an automobile.
Mercury Rx is an excellent time to scour places (online and offline) for great deals!

Now, that is some list. But, if you want to avoid the most annoying tricks Mercury has up his sleeve, it is wise to pay close attention and organize (Mercury loves that word) accordingly. As a side note, I have Mercury Rx Neutralizer Candles and Sprays available and stocked up. Get them while you can because they go FAST!

Astrology Forecast For the week of January 3, 2022 – January 9, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of January 3, 2022 through January 9, 2022 features only two (yes, you read that right) astrological aspects – Venus Rx sextile Neptune and the Sun conjunct Venus Rx.

So, it’s going to be a light week in the cosmos, and since Venus is the only planet making aspects, let’s dive into the daily breakdown.

Astrology Forecast for the week of December 27, 2021 – January 2, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of December 27, 2021 – January 2, 2022 features 4 major aspects (Mercury conjunct Venus Rx), Mars sextile Saturn, Mercury conjunct Pluto, and Sun trine Uranus), two sign changes (Mercury in Aquarius and Jupiter in Pisces), and the New Moon in Capricorn.

Like the first week of the year, the last week of 2021 is filled with action. But before we get into the weeks forecast, I want to thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my forecasts and support my work. I am grateful and honored to have you on my journey. I wish each of you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Now, on with the show…

Cosmic Overview

The headliner this week is Jupiter, who is finally moving out of Aquarius and back into his own sign of Pisces.

But, what’s the big deal about the big guy in the sky?

Jupiter is how we develop meaning in life. He is optimistic, benevolent, and expansive. He uplifts anything in the chart he touches, and is the Santa Claus figure of the cosmos. Since Jupiter rules Pisces, the sign he moves into on December 28, he has an added boost of planetary power and can help troubling matters. Essentially, Jupiter is our “Lucky Star.”

Jupiter in Pisces renews our faith through our belief in other human beings. I know that this is difficult to understand with so much division and strife in our world, especially since Jupiter’s benevolence has been reduced, being in the same sign as Saturn for two years. However, once Jupiter enters Pisces, he is free from Saturn’s influence, and our love and empathy for others should begin to return. Since Pisces is a malleable sign, we may begin to see people more receptive to the plight of others, and we can hope that selfishness is put aside for the greater good. More importantly, we will all be a little more compassionate in our dealings with others.

The first New Moon of the Year happens on January 2^nd in Capricorn. This is the most powerful point of Capricorn season, and it’s an auspicious time to start the year on a solid footing, especially since Capricorn season is goal-oriented and can give you an extra boost.

This New Moon is excellent for finding a new job, getting a promotion or raise, starting a business, or doing maintenance magic or intention work on an existing business. Capricorn season is also excellent for reputation building and repair. And, of course, since Capricorn is an earth sign, focusing on your finances never hurt anyone.

Weekly Breakdown

Monday, December 27, 2021

We start the week off with the Moon moving through fair-and-balanced Libra, and she makes favorable aspects to Mars and Saturn. It’s an excellent day to push forward with your agenda, because the Moon in Libra keeps other people’s circumstances in mind. Take advantage of any business opportunities presented to you, because they will likely pay off with the Moon trine stable Saturn.

Tuesday, December 28, 2021

Besides Jupiter moving into Pisces (see above), the Moon continues her trip through Libra and forms tense aspects to Mercury, Venus Rx, and Pluto. Stay on your toes, because conflict could easily erupt, especially if grievances have been brewing beneath the surface. Remain as proactive as possible, and don’t react to anything you may potentially regret later.

Wednesday, December 29, 2021

Wednesday brings us two major aspects – Mercury conjunct Venus Rx and Mars sextile Saturn.

During the early morning hours, Mercury conjoins Venus Rx in Capricorn. If you’ve experienced troubles in your relationships because of Venus Rx, Mercury conjoining the love goddess will help you understand your relationship on a deeper level. It’s also a good time to open the lines of communication and get your feelings out in the open in a constructive way.

Later in the day, Mars sextiles Saturn in Aquarius. Mars sextile Saturn augurs a time to plan and strategize your next step. It’s great for career ambitions, and you should use this energy to go after what you want, especially if it’s something you would love to do. The only drawback to this aspect is the need to be patient and take things one step at a time. The slower you go, the better your results will be.

Thursday, December 30, 2021

After hooking up with the love goddess, Mercury moves on to conjoin Pluto. Communication with others will be deep and intense. You may be put in a position where what you say could potentially influence others for better or worse. Try to avoid coercion, because it could potentially lead to power struggles. Avoid gossip and keep your secrets to yourself!

Friday, December 31, 2021

New Year’s Eve brings us the Moon moving through festive Sagittarius. It’s an excellent day for a celebration, and your mood will be more joyful than usual. Despite the difficulties we have experienced over the last year, keep your eye on the future and reach for the stars.

Saturday, January 1, 2022

Happy New Year’s! We start the year with a lovely trine between the Sun in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. After the tribulations of 2020 and 2021, let’s hope that the energy of Sun trine Uranus gives us the ability to think outside the box and make changes in our lives when necessary.

On the personal level, Sun trine Uranus encourages you to try new things and shake up your life with new activities that may potentially inspire you.

Sunday, January 2, 2022

We close the week out with Mercury moving into social Aquarius and the New Moon (see above) in Capricorn.

During the early morning hours, Mercury moves into Aquarius, the sign he will turn retrograde in on January 14^th. Mercury in Aquarius helps us put the puzzles and pieces of life together, as we understand that life is a tapestry of one experience leading to another. We are given the gift of understanding patterns both personally and universally. While Mercury is in Aquarius, it’s much easier to get to the truth and use it to your advantage.

Later in the day, we have the New Moon in Capricorn. So, get your New Moon intentions in order, and use the energy of the New Moon to make things happen.

See you next year!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of December 20, 2021 – December 26, 2021

The astrology forecast for the week of December 20, 2021 thru December 26, 2021 features four major aspects (Mercury trine Uranus, Saturn square Uranus, Venus Rx conjunct Pluto, and Mercury sextile Neptune) and the beginning of Capricorn season.

Since a lot is going on, let’s get on with the show.

Cosmic Overview

The cosmic overview’s focus is something we have covered for the past year – Saturn square Uranus.

This week we have the final showdown between Saturn and Uranus. But keep in mind that planetary aspects have orbs, and Saturn square Uranus will continue to be active throughout 2022. However, they will never reach an exact aspect again until 2032, when they will conjoin in late Gemini.

In astrology, Saturn symbolizes the structures in our lives, whether that be the government, our careers, or our station in life. Saturn seeks stability, so he likes to hold onto things and doesn’t like change. On the other hand, Uranus likes progress, is rebellious, and likes to shake up the system. He finds the ‘establishment’ boring and, at its worst, corrupt. Since this aspect is a square, there is enormous tension between these two planets. If you lean towards the Saturn side of the square, change can be seen as suspect, disruptive, and chaotic. If you lean towards Uranus, you will see structure as limiting, restrictive, and only concerned with the selfish need to hold onto power and authority.

So, this gives you a whiff of the reason why the political landscape is currently so toxic!

Working with this aspect is not easy. It’s tough work, and it requires a lot of reflection and honesty. So naturally, based on our personal charts, we will gravitate to one side of the aspect or the other. However, the way to work with Saturn square Uranus proactively is to look at the areas of your life that need change and devise a plan to enact those changes in a way that you feel comfortable. A quick way to look at what needs to change is to look at the houses Saturn and Uranus are transiting in your chart. Here is a cheat sheet that will help you with the keywords.

Just remember, the more you work with the planets, the easier they are to manage. It’s when you deny giving them attention and pretend they do not exist; they become troublesome.

Now, on with the forecast…

Daily Breakdown

Monday, December 20, 2021

We start the week with a beneficial trine between Mercury in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. It’s an excellent day to think outside the box and develop new solutions to old problems. You will find your intuition increased, which will help you make decisions. New ideas will be tantalizing and may lead you down a new path of discovery.

Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Happy Yule! On Tuesday, we leave Sagittarius behind and settle into the season of the sea-goat. Capricorn is a cardinal sign that likes to make things happen. So, it’s not surprising that we make New Year’s resolutions or start new things during Capricorn season. To put it more simply, Capricorn season is about taking care of business (personal and professional), and to achieve a prosperous New Year, you must plant the seeds. Just make sure what you plant will be fruitful.

Wednesday, December 22, 2021

The Moon spends its first full day in fiery Leo. During the morning hours, the Moon trines Mars, and if used correctly, this will give you a much-needed energy boost. However, expect frustrations and unexpected surprises during the afternoon as the Moon activates the upcoming square between Saturn and Uranus. Be proactive, not reactive.

Thursday, December 23, 2021

The Moon continues its trek through Leo, and you may need a ‘do you’ day before the holiday madness begins. So, have a bit of fun and enjoy yourself. Also, a bit of pampering and self-care never hurt anyone.

Friday, December 24, 2021

Besides Saturn squaring Uranus (see above), the Moon moves into diligent Virgo during the early morning hours. The Moon forms a lovely trine to the Sun in Capricorn, which is a harmonious aspect for getting things done. However, get all your holiday shopping and chores done as early as possible, because this evening the Moon squares discordant Mars.

Saturday, December 25, 2021

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate!

I feel like the Grinch that stole Christmas, because the cosmic energy is problematic and tense. Today, Venus retrograde conjoins Pluto in Capricorn. Relationships that are strained may experience the brunt of this aspect, because Venus conjunct Pluto signifies the need for change in relationships. Your emotions may be intense, and you may need to manage them cautiously. Moreover, ignoring relationship problems out of fear of change could lead to further complications. Avoid manipulation tactics even if you feel justified.

Sunday, December 26, 2021

We close the week with a harmonious sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. After an intense holiday, you may need a break to get in touch with your personal thoughts and feelings, and Mercury sextile Neptune can provide deep insight and understanding. If need be, go to your quiet place and listen to your gut; it will not misguide you.

See you next week!
