The First New Moon of 2022 Wants Your New Year's Resolutions
Happy New Year, beautiful. You’ve made it through another year, and I’m sure you slayed 2021. On January 2 at 1:33PM Eastern Time, a New Moon in Capricorn will welcome in 2022.
The beginning of the year gives us a few interesting astrological combinations. First, Jupiter, the planet of abundance and opportunity, is in the zodiac sign of Pisces, granting us more opportunities to dream. No great experiences are met without a price, so try to keep an energy of gratitude with you—it will help you keep hope alive. Second, Venus Retrograde is in Capricorn, prompting us to review all things love, money, and beauty (and sending an ex or two our way).
When the New Moon joins Venus Retrograde in Capricorn, we will be encouraged to manage our emotions and take a logical approach to our plans and pursuits. Capricorn is a difficult place for the Moon to be in: It requires loyalty, unconditional love, and sacrifice.
According to astrologer Sunny MF Money, “This is the time in human history for society to look deeply into what security means as the New World is being created. [The] Capricorn New Moons highlights opportunity on how we build, bridge, and connect on the spiritual, economic and physical plane.” There is no way to cut corners with this New Moon, which is why deciding what your priorities are for 2022 is key. If New Year's resolutions are helpful to you, now's the perfect time to write a list. Save it, and return to it throughout the year as need be.
