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.

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…
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 2nd 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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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 14th. 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!
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The astrology forecast for the week of December 13, 2021 through December 19, 2021 features two sign changes (Mars and Mercury), a Full Moon in Gemini, Venus turning retrograde in Capricorn, and an extremely positive aspect between the Sun and Jupiter.
We have a lot to cover, so let’s dive right in!
Cosmic Overview
The cosmic event of the week is Venus turning retrograde in Capricorn on Sunday. Relationships are under the gun, and Venus continues to move backwards throughout the month of January (or at least until January 29th). Further, Venus remains copresent with Pluto, which adds to the intensity of this Venus cycle. So, to help you stay on track, I’ve included a checklist – and who doesn’t like a checklist?

After a week of a cosmic slowdown, the heavenly machine churns up again. This week have four major aspects (Mars trine Neptune, Mercury sextile Saturn, Venus sextile Neptune, and Sun sextile Saturn), and a solar eclipse in Sagittarius.
First, all the major aspects this week are relatively light. The only thing that is peculiar is that they involve two planets that really don’t like each other – Saturn and Neptune. Saturn is interested in the physical world, which is what you can observe, do, and accomplish. He requires effort and determination. Neptune is interested in the ‘other world’, meaning everything beyond the physical. In Neptune’s world, there is no concept of time, reality, or rules; everything is fluid. So, there will be a tug of war between the need to take care of duties and responsibilities, and the need to escape worldly burdens. It’s going to be necessary to navigate both worlds. My suggestion is to take care of what has to be done and spend plenty of time engaging in activities that feed your soul.
Secondly, we have a solar eclipse in Sagittarius early Saturday morning. This eclipse is the conclusion of the eclipse series that began in 2020. Sagittarius is the sign that represents big picture perspectives, philosophy, and beliefs. However, we have a curious happening in the cosmos, because the eclipse is square the centaur Nessus.
In mythology, Nessus is a member of the rowdy Centaur clan. He was the ferryman at the Euenos river. Hercules arrives at the river and pays for his wife Deinara to ride to the other side. Upon reaching her destination, Nessus attempts to rape Deinara, and Hercules shoots him with an arrow tainted by the deadly Hydra’s poisonous blood. As he is dying, Nessus gives a vial of his blood to Deinara and tells her that it will keep Hercules faithful.
Of course, since this is a myth, you know what will happen. After a while, Deinara fears Hercules is being unfaithful, so she pours Nessus’ poisoned blood on her husband’s tunic. Hercules wears the tunic and dies. After his death, Zeus brings Hercules to Mount Olympus where he is honored for his heroic activities.
Since Sagittarius is about higher learning, knowledge, and philosophy (not to mention its image of the Centaur), I felt that including Nessus was necessary. In the horoscope, Nessus reflects poisoning, and since he is currently moving through Pisces, it’s collective poisoning that we are concerned with. Over the last few years, we have noticed how dangerous misinformation is and what it can do to the global community. If you are on a social media platform or visit news sites, you are exposed to it on the daily. In many ways, we are ‘poisoned’ by collective movements, many of people involved are true believers in what they are posting, but propaganda can be deadly and can poison ordinary (and even some unordinary) people and their outlook on life. I am hopeful that with this aspect being a separating square, much of this will begin to fade away, because we are encouraged to leave ‘group think’ (which can be equally poisonous) behind and focus on our big picture objectives. We need to take our ‘personal beliefs’ and take charge of our ‘personal worlds’, and start living our best lives, and leave the noise to others who wish to participate. Instead of being poisoned by the beliefs or statements of others, we need to be the cure.
Enjoy your new beginning!

[Read more…] about Astrology Forecast for the Week of November 29,2021 – December 5, 2021
The astrology forecast for the week of November 22, 2021 through November 28, 2021 features only two astrological events – Mercury moves into Sagittarius, and the Sun joins Mercury at the end of the week. So, after two turbulent forecasts, we get a bit of relief.
We are now fully in Sagittarius season, and after the fireworks of Scorpio season, the energy of the centaur archer is welcomed. The sign of Sagittarius is about potential, possibilities, and faith in a better life. It’s not a sudden Christmas miracle that fills people with good tidings, generosity, and wonderment. It’s just the season – Sagittarius, that is.
This Sagittarius season features Jupiter making his last stand in Aquarius before he slips out of the dark Lord Saturn’s grasp. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, luck, and optimism, and it is easy to see that his blessings have been curtailed over the past two years while dancing with Saturn in Capricorn and Aquarius. However, despite Jupiter’s position, Sagittarius season encourages us to perceive life’s potentials, and it’s an excellent time to create your goals and resolutions for 2022. That way you are ready to go – ON DAY ONE!
