Astrologically 2021 leads us into 2022. With Venus retrograding at the end of 2021 into 2022, we are looking backward at the past few years. We know that intellectually and psychologically reviewing all that we have experienced as individuals and as a country and throughout the world will allow us to move forward into the future. By recapitulating and integrating the past we embrace the future with love and enthusiasm and leap into 2022.

Capricorn

Capricorn, the goat fish, journeys from the depth of the emotional oceans to the peaks of the mountains. The Winter Solstice leads us into one of the four great seasonal turning points of the year. The Sun who expresses the self, clever Mercury, Juno of partnerships, transformative Pluto, and retrograding Venus are all in the sign of the goat.

Steadfast Venus is reversing in Capricorn from 12/19/21 until 1/29/22, asking all of us to explore the archaeology of our values in regards to relationships, family issues past and present and finances. During this cycle we have the opportunity to review and recast our connections with those around us. Capricorn will be the investigator of our past, and Venus provides the lens of love for recalibration.

Aries - The four seasons are the turning points of the year. Capricorn and cohorts are leading us into the Winter Solstice and you will provide, in turn, the Vernal Equinox. This is the time to readjust your relationships with those nearest and dearest to you, with the light of love.

Taurus - Your celestial guide is Venus and one of your areas of expertise is in the realm of values and valuables. Your leader, Venus, who is now in Capricorn, is reversing in the heavens, allowing you to look back at what has been important for you and bring this forward into 2022.

Gemini - The twins are familiar with your ruler Mercury retrograding but now it is Venus, the goddess of love and creativity, who is reversing. You have the opportunity to look back at all that you have done with your inventive mind, and then to decide what you want to do in 2022.

Cancer - The Sun is now in your opposite sign of partnerships, along with Juno, who designs the relationships you have with others, and Venus the empress of love, who is reversing. Venus wants you to look homeward, angel, and then decide the future you want to manifest in life.

Leo - Capricorn is now in charge of the heavens, along with a cabal of planets. One of the plans that this group has is to streamline your daily life. You can examine any portion of your life that you choose to upgrade – your work area, your kitchen, anything you want – and do a redo.

Virgo - The goat fish is now in the center of the stars, and you are both earth signs, expert at making the changes that need to occur right out here on earth. Arty Venus is reversing, reminding you of projects that you need to review and regenerate in the new year to come.

Libra - Yes, your ruling planet, Venus, the guardian of relationships, reverses direction occasionally. Now is that time. In looking back at your partnership trajectory in life, she allows you to make the changes – with boundaries, closeness, distance – that you need to make.

Scorpio - There are a large group of planets in Capricorn, and their avowed direction for you is in reviewing and making adjustments to the manner in which you communicate with others. After your review over the next few months, you will want to streamline your way with words.

Sagittarius - The sign that follows yours, Capricorn, is involved in a complex dance this year. These planets in the sign of the goat want to allow you to design 2022 just the way you want. To do this, why not engage in a review of 2021 and then figure out what you want to tweak.

Capricorn - Happy Birthday! At your celestial party this year you have creative Venus talking to transformative Pluto, and clever Mercury and Juno who designs partnerships all in your sign. Venus is reversing in your steadfast sign, reviewing the past, while adding more love now.

Aquarius- Capricorn brings in the Winter Solstice and also is the prequel to your sign. Venus reversing is urging you to do the work that you usually do before your birthday – year end review – but with an emphasis on partnerships and changes you want to initiate in 2022.

Pisces - Arty Venus is reversing in the stalwart sign of Capricorn, right next to the power broker Pluto. These two want all of us to examine the structures of the relationships in our lives. Then we will be better able to make the adjustments in dynamics that allow us to flow into 2022.
