Ther\u00ad\u00ade\u2019s a serious vibe to January with not one but TWO retrograde cycles (Venus retrograde 19 December \u2013 29 January AEST and GMT; Mercury retrograde \u2013 14 January \u2013 4 February AEST and GMT) taking place in Capricorn and Aquarius. Two of the most grown-up and serious signs in the zodiac, hogging the spotlight and asking you to get real about what you want. It\u2019s a time to make space for reflection and review of long-term plans, and consider how your words and actions now are impacting your future.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stress if you\u2019re drawing a blank over the exact issues you should be reassessing; retrogrades have a habit of bringing the issues that need fixing to your attention. By the end of the month you should have a much clearer idea of what needs a rejig.<\/p>\n

As with all retrograde cycles, it\u2019s a time to stay as adaptable and open as possible. If you can help it, try not to make any firm plans, just let yourself chill and see what\u2019s coming up. Next month once Venus and Mercury go direct, there\u2019ll be plenty of time to start taking action on all your insights. For now, just keep a journal at the ready and stay curious to what\u2019s calling for your attention.<\/p>\n

ARIES AND ARIES RISING<\/h5>\n

Even if you\u2019ve taken the whole month off work, your mind will be on the job this month. Following on from December, questions around whether you feel valued, aligned with, and proud of what you\u2019re doing professionally will continue to play on your mind. Old contacts could resurface prompting you to question if you\u2019re truly happy with your current trajectory. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde could bring a little chaos to your social life \u2013 especially around the 14th<\/sup>. Double check plans to minimise misunderstandings.<\/p>\n

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Following the blurriness of party season, deeper philosophical questions around love, money and your identity will have you feeling extra introspective. It\u2019s a time to ask yourself, \u201cWhat do I really care about?\u201d. With Mercury retrograde in your professional sector, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be dealing with some tech mishaps especially around the 14th<\/sup>. Expect WFH set-ups to be clunky and allow extra time to get stuff done. Preparation is the key to taking it all in your stride.<\/p>\n

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/h5>\n

As your ruling planet (Mercury) goes retrograde (from 14 January), slowing down should be a little easier than usual but travel plans to go awry. Calm frustrations with plenty of mindful movement (think: yoga and moving meditations). Venus retrograde continues to stir up questions of value and worth \u2013 especially around investments like bitcoin and property. Use this month to refine goals rather than furiously buy up stocks \u2013 there\u2019s plenty of time to diversify in the months to come.<\/p>\n

CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/h5>\n

After last month\u2019s introduction to Venus retrograde, this month you\u2019re in the thick of some serious soul-searching. Your relationship \u2013 or potential partners \u2013 will be under the microscope, as you\u2019re forced to confront the truth about how you really feel. \u201cIs this working? What do I want? Where is this really going?\u201d are the kinds of questions that will be keeping you awake. With Mercury also retrograde, questions around long-term cash could also be a talking point for coupled-up Cancerians. Avoid D&Ms around the 14th<\/sup> when miscommunications could turn atomic in record time.<\/p>\n

LEO AND LEO RISING<\/h5>\n

With Mercury retrograde in your relationship sphere from mid-month, revisiting conversations \u2013 or arguments \u2013 from earlier in the month could take up a lot of mental energy. Watch out for misunderstandings around 14th<\/sup> when the skies look especially primed for crossed wires. Meanwhile Venus retrograde continues its re-evaluation of your health and wellbeing. What structural changes could you make to your routine that to support better health long-term?<\/p>\n

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/h5>\n

Surrender and acceptance are key strategies mid-month when your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde in the realm of your daily routine. Scheduling mishaps, crossed wires and work drama are all on the cards, especially when it kicks off around the 14th<\/sup> January. Aim for more blank space in your schedule, so when things go wrong, you\u2019re not facing a domino effect. In your personal life, Venus retrograde continues to dredge up questions around sex, pleasure and possibly even kids. No need to make a call on any of it just yet, but try to stay curious as to what and who reappears.<\/p>\n

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/h5>\n

You\u2019re in the thick of some serious reflection this month, as your ruling planet Venus continues her retrograde cycle. While things may feel busy socially, try to honour the call to be still and go within. With Pluto by Venus\u2019 side, it\u2019s likely to be pretty intense but trust that whatever is being unearthed \u2013 especially related to your family or where you\u2019re living \u2013 needs to be resolved. Wherever possible try to keep a low-profile and give yourself space to process what\u2019s going on. There\u2019s plenty of time for action once Venus moves direct (29 January).<\/p>\n

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/h5>\n

The big breakthroughs continue this month with Venus retrograde continuing (until 29 January) to unearth hidden treasure\u2026and maybe a little trash! Mid-month, Mercury also goes retrograde threatening some confusion in your home-life. Expect plans to change, conversations to be rehashed or off-the-cuff remarks to be misconstrued. It\u2019s a timely remember of the power of your words, and ties in perfectly with Venus retrogrades bigger themes around how you use your voice. Let any miscommunications that pop up help you refine your longer-terms goals around how you express yourself in 2022.<\/p>\n

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

Money, income, spending, saving \u2013 it\u2019s all up for review this month as Venus retrograde forces you to get grown-up about cash. If you\u2019re prone to burying your head in the sand, there\u2019ll be no avoiding some home truths about your finances. Use the energy as an opportunity to get serious about what your financial goals are for this year and beyond. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde (from 14 January) could bring some confusion to communications. Back up your tech, repeat instructions and be extra careful with how your choice of words \u2013 especially around siblings.<\/p>\n

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING<\/h5>\n

No one will be feeling Venus retrograde quite so powerfully as Capricorns. Your values, identity, appearance and health are all up for review as Pluto literally shakes you to get serious about what you care about. People and themes will resurface, but not everyone gets to come along for the ride. Now is the time to think long-term (like you ever think any other way!) When you start to feel yourself feeling wobbly, think of \u00a0how your outlook on life has changed since Venus was last retrograde in this part of your chart back in December 2013 \u2013 January 2014 and give yourself credit for how far you\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n

The year kicks off with one very clear message for Aquarian peeps: \u201cSlow down!\u201d As Venus retrograde ramps up, your desire for solitude will reach new heights. Honour those yearnings and make time to go within. Meditation, journaling, guilt-free daytime naps\u00ad\u00ad \u2013 whatever helps you connect with your inner world, will be the ticket to honouring your soul\u2019s astro cycle. Once Mercury goes retrograde, the vibe shifts, and could feel a little angsty (especially around the 14th<\/sup>). Embrace the quiet while the going is good. You\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n

PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/h5>\n

Friendships, alliances and old hurts will be front and centre this month as Venus retrograde stirs up big emotions in your social life. With Pluto involved, you can bet the themes won\u2019t be light and breezy but nevertheless, the relationships or fallouts you\u2019re being called to revisit are primed for some deep healing. Mercury retrograde could have you feeling a bit out of sorts, so be sure to prioritise your mental health and make space for supportive practices to help you process everything that\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":16677,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"\nJanuary 2022 Horoscopes: Welcome To A New Year!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From relationships, to work, to those two retrogrades that pop up this week, astrologer Emma Vidgen breaks down the skies.
