Good Luck And Opportunities Horoscope For 2022

 

We call the planet Jupiter the Greater Benefic for good reason. When Jupiter transits the natal planets in our charts, we often receive fortunate things and people that seem lucky for us into our lives, and we very often get a feeling of well being and generosity. Joy is a big part of it. Generally speaking, Jupiter brings his greatest gifts when conjunct one’s natal Sun, natal Ascendant, and/or natal Jupiter. Sometimes folks expect too much, however. A Jupiter transit might not indicate that you’ll win the lottery, but it can bring some very fine and beneficial events and other things into our lives. Jupiter is our largest planet by far, and it is a gaseous planet (no wonder it rules good humor). This planet enters the sign of Pisces in December of 2021, and will remain there (for the most part) till December of 2022. Jupiter will enter Aries for a brief stay in May and will retrograde back into Pisces in late October of 2022. Below is your good luck and opportunities forecast based on Jupiter’s transit through Pisces (and Aries).

Aries –  This last year, you probably had many opportunities presented through the groups that you belong to. And, your good luck might have occurred through them. Friendships were probably fortunate for you as well. This year, it might be a bit difficult to see opportunities and good luck. But, they will occur. It’s just that these opportunities will occur somewhat behind the scenes or perhaps in the more spiritual realm. You might have opportunities to help others less fortunate than yourself. You will grow as a person if you accept these opportunities. It may seem that Something or Someone up there is looking out for you this year. And, you might sense that something big is headed your way. It is, and many of you will experience just that during the period of May through October. Opportunities of all kinds head your way during that period.    

Taurus - You have probably had numerous opportunities in the professional and public image realm this last year. You might have been given a promotion with more responsibility, or this promotion might have occurred through a new job. Group endeavors are favored this year. Your opportunities are likely to occur through the groups that you belong to and that is also where you will find your good luck. Going it alone is not advised during this period. Just remember social distancing guidelines.  And, this year you can expect many opportunities through your friends, and you might feel that your friends are lucky for you. Some of you will probably manifest a long cherished wish, goal, or dream. 

Gemini – During the last year, your opportunities and luck came through foreign cultures and foreign travel, higher education, the law, and perhaps doctors. It was a growth transit and you probably experienced numerous opportunities to expand your mind (even if you didn’t notice them). Some of you probably traveled abroad, or benefited through someone of a different ethnicity than yourself. Some of you might have benefited through legal proceedings and others of you through higher educational opportunities. Your opportunities and good fortune will occur through your profession and public image during the next year. You might get a promotion or attain a new job with more responsibility. You’ll be in the spotlight to some extent, and others might look up to you for your leadership abilities. You might benefit through authority figures of all types - including either one of your parents. During the period of May through October, you could benefit through groups that you belong to or through your friendships.

Cancer – You can expect growth and opportunities in a number of areas during the next year. You might receive an opportunity to travel abroad. If so, you should take advantage of those opportunities and expect to learn something from this adventure. You might benefit from the legal process. This is a good time to learn something new and go deeper into the subject area you’re interested in, because Jupiter rules higher education. Mind expansion occurs easily and in a fun way. People (especially those from other cultures) that enter your life now may be able to teach you very valuable lessons that will broaden and enrich your life in many ways. During the period of May through October, your public image surfaces and in a positive and fortunate way. 

Leo – The previous year might have brought you opportunities to meet new people and network. Partnerships could have been fortunate for you. This year, some of those one on one relationships could deepen. If you’re looking for a sexual relationship, this year could bring you a good one. You could also benefit from actions resulting from insurance, taxes, credit/loans issues, and perhaps an inheritance. Joint finances are blessed under this year’s Jupiter transit. You might also benefit from certain stock market investments. Mind expansion exercises (such as foreign travel) could be of benefit to you during the period of May through October.   

Virgo – The last year has brought you many opportunities for work, and you might have gotten a number of job offers (for better jobs). Your health might have improved as well. However, this year you will likely find luck and opportunities through others. One on one relationships are blessed this year. That might occur through business partnerships, love relationships, or any other kind of one on one relationship. You could meet the love of your life through this transit (if that’s what you’re looking for). Or, a business partnership could pay big dividends in the next year. It could involve other types of partnerships as well (familial, friendship, etc.). During the period of May through October, partnership finances are blessed.  

Libra –  This last year, you likely benefited through creative efforts or perhaps a love relationship. Children might have been a big part of your life this last year. This year, you will likely have opportunities for better jobs and work. You’ll likely have more work to do. This is especially true if you work in the healthcare industry. You might benefit through co-workers or employees who work for you. And, this transit should benefit your overall health and well being. You would definitely benefit through a new health regimen. And, your daily routine should benefit through this transit. This might not seem exciting, but this transit can provide very fortunate benefits nevertheless. One on one relationships are blessed during the period of May through October of this year.

Scorpio – This last year, you probably had opportunities through your family and home. Perhaps, you expanded your home through a home improvement project or added a family member. This year, your creative opportunities increase and expand. You might be surprised as to how creative you become. In addition, a new and beneficial love interest could enter your life, and your opportunities for love should increase. Your romantic life could blossom. Children might become more important in your life. A child could delight you and add joy to your life. Spread some of that joy around (remembering social distancing guidelines). You are especially “in luck” if you work in a creative industry or the entertainment industry. During Jupiter’s brief Aries transit, you might experience better health and greater joy in your daily life. You might land a desired job then as well.

Sagittarius – This last year, you probably benefited through your associations with neighbors and siblings. Communications issues and short distant travel might have added joy to your life. This year, it is your home and your family that will add joy to your life and provide you with opportunities. You might add a member to your family. Or, you might expand your home through a home improvement project. You might acquire a new, bigger, and better home. Pay close attention to older family members. They can provide you with a sense of well being and security at this time. You might feel that family members are lucky for you. During the period of May through October, you could get lucky in love (if you’re available). You might also see your creative potential surge. 

Capricorn – Jupiter’s transit through Aquarius has likely provided you with various monetary opportunities over the last year, and your financial position has probably improved. This year, you will be provided with opportunities through neighbors and siblings, communications issues, and short distance travel. You will probably communicate in a more positive and optimistic manner. Your community is important this year. If you do a lot of socializing this year, be sure to keep necessary social distancing in mind (and, wear your mask if needed). Your sense of well being comes through communicating with others this year. Some of you might purchase a new and better automobile. Short trips might add a great amount of joy to your life. Real estate, home, and family matters are favored during the period of May through October of 2022.

Aquarius –  This last year has provided you with all types of opportunities, and most of them were probably very personal to you. It might have been a positive and favorable year for you in spite of adversity. This year, monetary issues are blessed. You will have opportunities to make more money and to increase your financial wealth. But, you should not stop there. You have the opportunity to find out and to delve into your own values. What is it that is important to you. If you know and understand this, the current transit will be that much more satisfying and enriching. You might want to share some of that increased wealth with others less fortunate than yourself. Communications issues are favored during the period of May through October 2022.

Pisces -- This last year might have been one of anticipation for you. Your opportunities and good fortune might have come in spiritual form or perhaps behind the scenes. But, you might have sensed that something big was coming. Well, it’s now here. Jupiter transits your sign (for the most part) till the end of December of 2022. All types of opportunities to expand and enrich your life will likely come to you this year. You will simply need to remain perceptive and accept these opportunities. You might also have the chance or opportunity to travel abroad. This is also a growth transit. You can easily learn much that will help you in the future. You could benefit financially during the period of May through October. This might be a good time to consider or reconsider what you value. The only possible negative issue this year is that your waistline might expand along with everything else. Just a bit of restraint will help with any problems that you encounter in that regard, and will help to make this one of the best years of your life.

The Major Astrological Influences Of 2022

 

2022 promises to be a very interesting year. There will be more of the unexpected, more lessons to learn, more growth and opportunities, more dreams and ideals, and more transformational experiences. I’ll attempt to explain some of the major astrological influences of the year in the following paragraphs.

There are usually three Mercury retrograde periods every year. The following dates/times are local time in San Francisco, CA. In 2022, these Mercury retrograde periods will begin in the earth signs. The first Mercury retrograde period begins on January 14, 2022. The next Mercury retrograde period begins May 10, 2022, and the one after that begins September 9, 2022. In addition, 2022 will end with Mercury in (apparent) retrograde motion. That Mercury retrograde period begins on December 29, 2022. These periods are generally marked by miscommunications, misunderstandings, problems with communications equipment, travel delays, and plans that will later need to be revised or completely changed. It’s usually better not to make important decisions or to sign contracts (or anything else) if that is possible during these periods. Complications and problems are too easy to encounter, and often we don’t have all the information that we need. The best thing to do is to continue to collect this information throughout the period. How these periods will affect you personally depends on where it happens in your astrological chart(s).

In 2022, we begin the year with Venus retrograde (in Capricorn). That retrograde period began on December 19, 2021. Venus turns stationary direct on January 19, 2022. Relationships will go through a period of review with Venus in (apparent) retrograde. Has an ex re-entered your life? It might happen, but only you can decide whether that’s a good thing or not.

In 2022, Mars will turn stationary retrograde on October 30, and does not turn direct till the second week of 2023. Be careful regarding the actions that you take during this period. Things might very well not work out as planned, and some actions could result in a backfire.    

There will be eclipses in April, May, October, and November of 2022. They occur in Taurus and Scorpio. If you’d like to know if an eclipse will affect you personally, ask me. Most people will experience these eclipses as either a Full Moon or a New Moon.

Saturn will continue its transit through Aquarius. Saturn entered Aquarius last year on December 16, 2020. Saturn will affect Astrology, friendships, groups, humanitarian efforts, and the high tech. This transit will affect you personally depending on where Saturn is transiting in your astrological chart(s) (its house placement and if it aspects any of your natal planets or points). Transiting Saturn will square (but, not exact) transiting Uranus (in Taurus) off and on - especially from September through the first part of November. We may vacillate between wanting change and wanting to move forward quickly and/or to move more slowly (or, even stand still) valuing the status quo then. There seems to be a conflict between progressive and more conservative (but moderate) values. Saturn leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces early in March of 2023.

Uranus, the planet of change and the unexpected, will continue to transit financially conscious Taurus in 2021. Transiting Uranus will transit Taurus till July of 2025. Transiting Uranus could affect the high technology industry, astrology/astrologers, civil rights issues, and other humanitarian interests. Transiting Taurus, it could affect the banking industry, investments,  and finances. It is likely to affect the stock market as well. We might come up with new ways to make money and/or we may change the way we think about money and other possessions. Some astrologers have indicated that this transit could cause more earthquakes to occur. My own view is that this transit alone will not be the cause of more earthquakes (should we actually experience more). 

Jupiter will be transiting the sign of Pisces for much of 2022. Jupiter entered Pisces on December 28, 2020 last year. During this period, the oil industry, the motion picture industry,  the fishing and boating industries, and matters concerning the oceans and seas will be favored. We may also experience larger storms - hurricanes and typhoons. 

Jupiter will enter the sign of Aries in early May, 2022, and will stay there till very late October, 2022. The military and policing are favored during this period. Sporting industries also encounter very favorable influences. Jupiter re-enters Pisces in late October and stays until late December (and, Jupiter will re-enter Aries).

Neptune will continue its transit through its home sign of Pisces in 2020. The oil and gas industries will be impacted by this transit. Neptune also rules the motion picture industry (and photography) and the shipping industry.  

Pluto will continue to transit the sign of Capricorn in 2020. The areas related to Capricorn are due for transformation. It could influence the large multinational corporations, the leather and hide industries, and the iron and steel industries. Pluto’s effects are subtle sometimes, tend to happen over a lengthy period of time, and are very powerful. The United States will have entered its Pluto return period  this year. Power structures will begin to break down and will be eventually replaced by (hopefully) something better.  

December 3/4 Total Solar Eclipse In Sagittarius

 

Our final eclipse of 2021 will be a  solar eclipse on December 4, and it occurs at 12 degrees and 22 minutes Sagittarius. The total phase of this total solar eclipse can only be seen in Antartica. However, part of Southern Africa, including locations in South Africa and Namibia, will see a partial solar eclipse, if the weather permits. Parts of southern Australia and southern parts of South America will also see at least a partial solar eclipse. This eclipse could affect the airline industry, the legal industry and profession, religious organizations, and higher education. The lord of this eclipse is Mercury (since it is so close to the eclipse point), therefore communications, short distance travel, and the media are very important matters related to this eclipse. There is great potential for confusion and/or deception with this eclipse as Mercury squares Neptune. Be wary of what you hear.

For the USA, the focus is on finances - probably next year’s budget and the human infrastructure bill. With Mars squaring Jupiter in the chart over Washington DC, there is the likelihood of excessive expectations with regard to financial affairs, Inflation could be a part of the problem and scenario. However, with Mars in trine aspect to Neptune, there is still the potential for great progress toward an ideal. With Neptune in the fifth house, matters related to children are favored and should move forward. Love is in the air with Mars sextiling Venus (and Pluto). It looks like some very pleasant events could occur on the home front as Venus is conjunct the IC in the chart. Power and intensity are a part of the happenings as Pluto joins Venus there. However, the push/pull effects of the 2021 Saturn/Uranus square continue to plague us (at least a bit). Saturn (in Aquarius) is sextiling the eclipse point, so hard work and thinking outside the box will help greatly.  

As always, this eclipse will affect you personally if you have planets and/or points conjunct or opposite the eclipse point (only a two degree orb). Those planets or points between 10 and 14 degrees of Sagittarius and/or Gemini are included. Eclipses are Uranian in nature in that what happens is unexpected, and you might not even be certain as to what is happening for six months. For a solar eclipse, it takes about a year for the event to completely mature. Whether the eclipse is experienced as positive or negative depends on the planet that is conjoined or opposed, it’s place in your chart, the condition that the planet is in, and whether and how you might have prepared for what is happening (i.e. free will). If you’d like to know if you have planets or points that fall into this range, let me know. For most people, it will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.

November 19, 2021 Partial Lunar Eclipse In Taurus

 

Our last lunar eclipse of the year is a partial lunar eclipse, and it occurs on November 18, 2021 at 27 degrees Taurus. Much of Europe, Asia, Australia, North/West Africa, South America, North America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and the Arctic will see at least some part of the eclipse. You will be affected by this eclipse if you have planets or points between 24 and 30 degrees of Taurus and/or Scorpio. Most folks will simply experience the eclipse as a full Moon. Full Moons usually indicate a climax or coming to fruition of something, and we are normally more emotional during a full Moon. The emphasis is on banking, finances, and earth changes. Our collective values are important and related to this eclipse. 

The lunar eclipse in Taurus will affect the banking industry, other financial institutions, the stock market, and real estate (to some extent). Transiting Mars in opposition to transiting Uranus would tend to indicate sudden and abrupt changes regarding monetary issues. Spiritual issues and matters at sea are favored as transiting Mars, the Sun, and Mercury trine transiting Neptune.  

For the US, the eclipse falls in the eighth house in the eclipse chart over Washington DC. It could affect the banking industry, the stock market, and industries related to death and taxes. The IRS might be prominent. Building and infrastructure are favored as the eclipse trines transiting Pluto in Capricorn. The automobile and transportation industries should fare quite well with Mars and Uranus favorably aspecting Venus in the third house. Coronavirus issues will continue to be prominent with Asteroid Koronis in the tenth house in this chart.

This eclipse occurs in opposition to President Biden’s natal Sun. It’s a time of transformation and change in his life. The months ahead will be quite significant for him (and the nation as a result).

June 10, 2021 Solar Eclipse In Gemini

 

Our second eclipse of 2021 will be a  solar eclipse on June 10, and it occurs at 19 degrees and 47 minutes Gemini. The annular phase of this eclipse will be visible in parts of Russia, Greenland, and northern Canada. A partial eclipse can be seen in Northern Asia, Europe, and the United States. You can see the path of the eclipse shadow here. Since this eclipse occurs in chatty and sociable Gemini, this eclipse could affect the automobile industry, the media, and elementary and secondary education. The lord of the eclipse is Mercury which is in apparent retrograde motion. So, communications and the media are strongly influenced. However, there are likely to be problems - miscommunications, misunderstandings, fuzzy thinking, and perhaps even deceit. But, much can be resolved with hard work as Saturn trines the eclipse point.

 

For the US, it looks like much of the action will occur behind the scenes. The executive will definitely be involved because Neptune is located in the tenth and squares the eclipse point. The media might not know just how to communicate what is up and going on in Washington and with the President. It could be that they do not understand or know, or it could be that they just don’t know how to correctly describe certain events. Don’t believe everything you hear. Check out sources. With the Saturn trine to the eclipse point, my mind automatically goes to the new Ford F-150 (electric vehicle). The infrastructure bill and plans will be a part of the US scenario. It is not totally clear as to how some of the issues (such as how much money to spend on infrastructure) related to the infrastructure bill will be resolved. With Mars in the second in trine aspect to Neptune (in the tenth), it looks like President Biden will get the resources/funding that he is seeking. But, it will not happen without a fight as Pluto (in the eighth) opposes Mars. The Jupiter trine to Venus is reflective of the celebratory mood that many Americans will be in as the nation opens back up (and even more people are vaccinated). Jupiter in the ninth indicates that there will be optimism abroad as well. The airline industry should benefit from this placement of Jupiter. The oil and gas industry could suffer as a result of the Neptune square to the eclipse point, however.  

As always, this eclipse will affect you personally if you have planets and/or points conjunct or opposite the eclipse point (only a two degree orb). Those planets or points between 17 degrees and 21 degrees of Sagittarius or Gemini are included. Eclipses are Uranian in nature in that what happens is unexpected, and you might not even be certain as to what is happening for six months. For a solar eclipse, it takes about a year for the event to completely mature. Whether the eclipse is experienced as positive or negative depends on the planet that is conjoined or opposed, it’s place in your chart, the condition that the planet is in, and whether and how you might have prepared for what is happening (i.e. free will). If you’d like to know if you have planets or points that fall into this range, let me know. For most people, it will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.

May 26, 2021 Super Moon Lunar Eclipse In Sagittarius

 

Late May begins the next eclipse season of 2021. The first eclipse, a lunar eclipse, occurs on May 26, 2021 at 5 degrees Sagittarius. If in Australia, parts of the western USA, western South America, or South-East Asia, you will see a Super Full Moon totally eclipsed for about fourteen minutes, weather permitting. You will be affected by this eclipse if you have planets or points between 3 and 7 degrees of Gemini and/or Sagittarius. Most folks will simply experience the eclipse as a full Moon. Full Moons usually indicate a climax or coming to fruition of something, and we are normally more emotional during a full Moon. The emphasis is on higher education, long-distance travel, the law, and foreign cultures. 

The lunar eclipse in Sagittarius will affect the legal/law industry, institutions of higher learning, and the airline industry. Transiting Mars in opposition to transiting Pluto indicates that we will likely have more problems related to the coronavirus worldwide. The enormous crisis affecting India currently could begin to influence other nations in the region. The same might be said for Brazil as well. Nevertheless, transiting Neptune trining transiting Mars and sextiling transiting Pluto tends to suggest that some countries will continue to benefit from the coronavirus vaccines. 

For the US, the eclipse falls in the sixth house in the eclipse chart over Washington DC. It could affect the healthcare industry, the labor force, and the way we continue to live our daily lives. Changes are coming and it looks fairly positive and hopeful, however we may have a problem with exaggerated expectations with transiting Jupiter squaring the eclipse point (and the Sun in Gemini). Saturn and Uranus continue their square aspect suggesting the same push/pull effect that we’ve been experiencing - especially with regard to political issues (Saturn in the ninth house). Democrats want to race forward with a progressive agenda as the GOP wants to continue to put up roadblocks. The Mars/Pluto opposition points to power struggles with regard to finances and budgetary issues. Biden’s infrastructure proposal/bill may face some challenges. The opposition also points to the potential for more gun violence. This problem is not likely to go away without some sort of action or gun control legislation. Mercury on the Ascendant points to quite a bit of news coming forward. Much of it should sound pretty good with Venus in conjunction, but it might not all be accurate with Neptune in square aspect.

This eclipse occurs in conjunction to President Biden’s Ascendant. Both he and Vice-President Harris will continue to want to go BIG with regard to their proposals and plans for the nation.

India's Coronavirus Crisis And A Powerful Eclipse

 

India has been in the midst of a serious and tragic coronavirus crisis for a while, and it seems to continue relentlessly. The nation’s healthcare system is overwhelmed and buckling under, and the death toll is enormous and tragic and getting worse. 

India was actually doing quite well as the new year began, while the USA and other countries were being ravaged by COViD-19. Some of India’s higher government officials were pretty much declaring the pandemic over in India. And, then the new cases numbers started to rise later in March of 2021 (around March 20). At about that time, the Sun began to stimulate the June 21, 2020 eclipse point by square aspect. Cases began to increase dramatically. And, then as transiting Mars was about to enter Cancer (about April 15) and conjoin that eclipse point, the crisis became even worse. The healthcare system began to collapse, there was a shortage of healthcare and especially oxygen to care for patients, and the death toll skyrocketed, And, it continues today.  

If you would like to help India in the midst of this crisis, this New York Times article will give you ideas and ways that you can donate and/or help.
