Wondering what 2022 will bring for you? Astrologer Yasmin Boland reveals all!
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sep. 22)
Relationships: You truly have some pretty impressive romance stars in 2022. If you’ve been disappointed by love in the past, that can change now. Look for someone who lifts you up and makes you feel inspired about life. If you’re long-term attached, you and your partner can go deeper.
Career: The way to achieve your goals is to go slow and steady. You need to show up to work every day, ready to do what needs doing, without complaining. It might not sound like a lot of fun, but it’s the way to get through this cycle.
Wellness: You have tedious karmic planet Saturn in your wellness zone this year. Lucky you’re a Virgo and naturally drawn to a healthy lifestyle! Just remember that routines are your friend. If you know you need more iron in your diet, take that iron supplement or eat whatever you need to eat to boost your levels. It’s that kind of vibe. Get enough sleep, too!
Pisces (Feb 19–Mar. 20)
Relationships: You should find yourself feeling more confident, and that’s going to have a very important knock-on effect with all your most important relationships. You tend to be very easygoing with people, but once you start to realise how fabulous you are, maybe you’ll draw a few stronger boundaries.
Career: Study and/or travel are both very well starred for you in 2022, as is expanding your mind in general. The broader perspectives these bring are likely to impress colleagues, clients and bosses. Financially, the year ahead looks promising.
Wellness: The best thing you can do is to work on your fears. Fears don’t just hold us back in life, they eat away at us. As Saturn goes through your 12th house, it’s the ideal time to look at what scares you and why, and to deal with it.
Libra (Sep. 23–Oct. 22)
Relationships: Let’s hope you’re ready for romance. You have the best love stars you’ve had in more than a decade, thanks to lucky Jupiter in your love zone. Maybe you’ll have more choices in terms of who to be with, or maybe you’ll be happier about who you are with. Or, perhaps you’ll find the motivation to leave an unhappy relationship.
Career The parts of your chart regarding career are quiet. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to have a dull working life. You could reframe it and decide that in fact you’re going to have a smooth sailing year. Use the lack of dramas as a chance to get important projects ticked off your list. Financially, there could be some bonuses.
Wellness With the planet Neptune still in your wellness zone throughout 2022, your best bet for finding peace and wellbeing is to meditate. If you don’t like to meditate, try yoga or chanting. You need to connect with the numinous this year to feel good.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21)
Relationships: It’s hard to imagine how your love-life stars could be more intense! Not only do you have a series of eclipses around you, but you still have the planet of chaos, Uranus, in your love zone, too. Basically, all bets are off! The best thing to say is be careful what you wish for this year. Massive changes are possible in all your most important one-to-one relationships.
Career: Understand this: you are in a place astrologically where you have the chance to change your life. This is not an overstatement. So if you want to change your career in 2022, take steps towards making it happen.
Wellness: The move of Jupiter into your wellness zone this year – on and off – is great news for you if you feel exhausted. For one thing, Jupiter is going to make it much easier for you to stay in a positive mindset about life, and that’s half the battle, right?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)
Relationships: You have great romantic energy, especially between May and October when Jupiter will be in the part of your chart which is all about having fun. This is less about deep and meaningful conversations and heavy commitments and more about you and the person you’re into. Enjoy yourselves without worrying too much about what comes next.
Career: One thing is for sure, your work life is unlikely to be boring in 2022. And if it’s boring, chances are you’re going to find a way to change things up. You have some quite chaotic energy in the part of your chart that is all about your daily working life. Routines are going to be hard to stick to and you may never know where your next project is coming from, but if you work hard, 2022 could be an amazing year professionally.
Wellness: You need to focus on your wellness a bit this year because everything is so up in the air. Due to lack of routine in your life, it could be very easy for you to slip into bad habits. Obviously these don’t lead to you feeling good! So be wise; make time for self-care.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)
Relationships: You have some very powerful energies in your chart. If you’re single and looking for romance, it could well come via having fun with your friends. If you’re attached, make sure you and your beloved get a bit more social in 2022 to tap into the good energies.
Career: You still have Pluto in your sign all year, arguably the most powerful planet. It’s passionate and it brings about transformation. So, your whole life is up for change, including your career. Ensure everything you do professionally is done with integrity.
Wellness: There are no particularly notable energies in your wellness zone this year, so hopefully that will translate to a feeling of Zen. That said, one of the best ways for you to look after yourself health-wise in 2022 is to detox from whatever you know is no good for you in your diet. That might not sound like a lot of fun, but it will boost your wellbeing!
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18)
Relationships: Serious and very karmic Saturn remains in your sign throughout 2022, so you’re still under pressure. Some of this is probably going to leak out into your relationships. Don’t be too heavy-handed with the people you love. Probably the best thing you can do for all your relationships is to focus on how well or not well you are communicating. Lighten things up for best results.
Career: It could be a very big year for you professionally. How ambitious are you? If you are, then this is the time to really go for it. If you fear that your current position is tenuous, you would do well to see what else is around as a Plan B, because these energies are extremely volatile.
Wellness: The great thing about having Saturn in your sign is that it can bring you a lot of discipline. This could be to move your body every day, to do the exercises you know it will respond to and to eat well and sleep enough.
Aries (Mar. 20–Apr. 18)
Relationships: This year brings two eclipses in your self-esteem zone and that’s important. It suggests that if you haven’t been valuing yourself highly enough in relationships, you can change this. Once you value yourself more, others will, too. Moreover, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the first time in 12 years (between May and October, and again in December), making you more popular with everyone.
Career: Start the year by working through any fears you know you have around being successful. What holds you back? Consider talking to a counsellor if you know that’s what it’ll take to clear your roadblocks. It’s time to blast away any past career dramas. May takes you on a new trajectory towards professional accolades.
Wellness: 2022 should be a lot happier and easier than the past few years but remember this – you are still first and foremost in a healing cycle. Make healing one of your priorities for the year ahead. Whether that means mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually, allow yourself time out on a regular basis.
Taurus (Apr. 19–May 20)
Relationships: This year sees a series of rolling eclipses and chaos planet Uranus triggering you. In other words, it’s going to be big for you and, by association, your most important relationships. If you’re single and looking, it’s a stand-out year where you could meet someone special. If you’re attached, gently tend to your relationship when it’s troubled. Don’t take anyone for granted.
Career: The amazing energies of 2022 will boost you professionally, but you still have the planet of hard work Saturn in your career zone. You will have to put in the effort if you want to get to or stay at the top. You also need to work through any fear of failure. Forgive anyone involved in gestating this fear (including you) under a full moon.
Wellness: With so much wild energy in your chart this year, you really need to take extra good care of yourself, or risk burning out. Meditation will help soothe you when the energies are too electric, and walking with bare feet on the earth (or using a grounding blanket) is crucial.
Gemini (May 21–Jun. 20)
Relationships: One thing is for sure – no matter how your love-life is going in 2022, your social life looks like it’s going to be better than it’s been in at least 12 years! This isn’t just the post-lockdown effect, it’s because happy planet Jupiter spends much of the year in your friends zone putting you at the top of everyone’s invite lists. Great for friendships and your love-life.
Career: Be careful that all this fun you’re having after hours doesn’t impact your ability to do your job well! After the past few years of restrictions, there is going to be a temptation to go wild, but if you have a job to hold down, you need a balance. A career that inspires you will reward you best in every way.
Wellness: Rather than focusing on physical health, your 2022 planetary alignments suggest you would do well to turn your attention to your mental health. So meditate, chant, do yoga or whatever else gets you out of your head and into a Zen headspace.
Cancer (Jun. 21–Jul. 21)
Relationships: You have one more year with eruptive Pluto in your love zone, which means one more year of potentially volatile relationships. If you’ve been giving your partner, friends and/or family a hard time, use 2022 to purge yourself emotionally. As they say, there is a difference between responding and reacting. This placement also gives you chances for some super-powerful connections, too.
Career: Your luck is at a 12-year peak. Tap into this by thinking big. Have a vision for what you want to achieve professionally. There should be some amazing chances to travel with your job, too. Financially, the more you plan, the better.
Wellness: The year’s eclipses are hitting your fun and friendship zones, so chances are you’ll be in an excellent frame of mind in 2022, which in turn should lead to better health. Moreover, the ruler of your wellness zone, Jupiter, is in really good shape, especially in the first half of 2022, so you should be, too.
Leo (Jul. 22–Aug. 22)
Relationships: You still have Saturn in your love zone over the next 12 months. Saturn is the Lord of Karma, so when it comes to all your most important relationships, what you sow is what you reap. Also, try to accept that for one more year (and a bit) you’re being asked to be as selfless as you can be.
Career: How exciting do you want things to be professionally? With eclipse energy in your chart, a transformation is possible. Add to this the fact you have the radical change planet Uranus in your career zone as well, and you really do have the right set up for a total turnaround.
Wellness: You still have the detox planet Pluto in your wellness zone. That means decluttering your home (which can have a surprisingly powerful impact on your mental health), as well as making sure you’re treating your body as a temple and only putting good things in it … at least most of the time!
