Your 2022 Horoscope is here—what to expect and how to make the most of the year ahead

It’s hard to believe 2022 is here, while we’re still processing 2020, and it’s fair to say we could use a collective sigh of relief with our 2022 horoscope. However, the astrology of 2022 continues to deliver life-changing events on both a personal and collective level. 

Although we're sure you're enjoying the ramp-up to Venus in retrograde 2021, after a year filled with a rollercoaster of astrological events, it looks like your 2022 horoscope will be far from boring. Your yearly horoscope is full of twists and turns, a new series of eclipses, Mercury retrogrades occurring in earth signs, and even a Mars retrograde.

You know you need to mark your diaries for the astrological events in 2022 and to make life even more cosmically aligned, here's your horoscope for the year ahead.

Aries

While the rest of the zodiac signs will be signing Jupiter in Pisces praises, you’ve got bigger plans on the horizon, Aries. Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion and opportunity, enters your sign for a brief stint on May 11. 

This is a once-in-a-12-year activation that asks you to chase after your wildest dreams and make them a reality. Make the most of it because as a Mars-ruled sign, you’ll have to contend with Mars retrograde in Gemini in October, which can shift our focus inward. This period of revision will allow you to choose a more aligned path forward.
