January 2022: stellium in Capricorn, Venus Retrograde, Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon etc.

Festive, fiery, emotional yet hazardous New Year’s night turns into an adventurous and optimistic vibe of the 1st of January 2022. Even though structural disagreements are still in the background, the literal sense of renewal is in the air, courtesy of the precise trine between Sun and Uranus.  The first day of the year evokes conscious enthusiasm but results in emotional exhaustion.

New Moon and the stellium in Capricorn on the 2nd of January switch on a serious mode. The leftover desire for renewal will now call for critical thinking and an accurate plan. Though it is not the best time to start anything new or implement any changes (give it a couple of days), it is a great period to develop elaborate strategies for future achievements. With Mercury’s ingress into Aquarius, intellectual and communication spheres revive, opening the gate for extraordinary solutions and out of the box thinking.

By the end of the first decade of the month, the relationship area will light up, be it interpersonal, business or political sphere. The excess of egotistical motivation will charge emotional attitudes and might cause manipulations. It might be hard to find a compromise in this period as conservative and stubborn demeanours might prevail.

Some unexpected news or developments might be due at the beginning of the second decade of the month, but they might need rethinking after Mercury turns retrograde on the 14th.

Whilst most actions in the first part of the month will go unseen, taking place behind closed doors, some results or the driving leaders of these activities might become visible around the Full Moon. 17th of January, the Full Moon in Cancer, unveils the vulnerability and emotional sensibility of a personality towards the collective energy. It is a strong emotional peak of an inner child’s desires and needs in disagreement with social demands and norms. It’s best not to dwell on self-pity and personal mishaps diverting the emotional energy onto a compassionate attitude to the world in general,  or even providing support to other living beings. The days around this Full Moon are highly accident-prone. It’s wise to avoid risks and exercise attention, especially on transport and in the crowd.

The last decade of January starts with an elated mood, there might be a glimpse of new opportunities in the relationship or material areas of life. It is necessary, however,  to stay grounded and not fall victim to irrational dreams.

With Mars entering Capricorn the productivity rises, idealistic aspirations and expansive projects turn into actually getting things done on a realistic scale.

The very end of the month might bring opportunities for establishing/refreshing and later stabilising the relationship. However old ideological conflicts might also revive, briefly obtaining new strength.

January 2022 initiates a transformative effect on the relationship and communication of all levels through the influence of collective processes.  The material sphere is also under the impact of major transformation. Those changes are not necessarily prompt but the start is on.
