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.

Read your New Moon horoscope:

Aries

Trust that you are capable of guiding yourself through life, Aries. The most difficult part of being a human is trust. Right now, your task is to trust that the choices you make will lead to the desired outcomes—and that you'll be okay even if they don't. When in doubt, get organized and write down your plans. It will help you keep going whenever you stumble or fall.

Taurus

As the seasons change, you are finding more opportunities to turn your focus towards yourself. During your period of learning, you weren't fully able to tend to your personal needs. Treating yourself under pressure barely feels a treat at all! Now, as you emerge into yourself, allow yourself the time and mental bandwidth to study a topic that benefits you.

Gemini

As your notoriety increases, so does your need to not let your past get to you. You may want to shrink back when confronted with the memory of experiences that made you feel small. Don’t. You are at your most attractive when you stand with confidence, Gemini. Trust that prior mistakes are lessons you’ve learned.

Cancer

What’s this? Potential for a new relationship? Well, aren’t you lucky! The New Moon represents your ability to attract romance and partnerships. The key to entering the type of relationships that fulfill you is simply to be yourself. By following your dreams and achieving your goals, you will stumble upon your next lover.

Leo

It looks like it’s time for you to work on yourself, Leo. This New Moon is calling for lifestyle changes. Don’t worry—all you need to do is examine how you’ve shown yourself love in the past. Answer this question: “How can I better care for myself in the future?” Be willing to learn from those around you. This year is meant to be transformative.

Virgo

This is a great time to let your guard down, Virgo. Easier said than done, I know, but k you have to be vulnerable in order to be truly connect with a partner. This New Moon is giving you the opportunity to explore a romantic relationship with someone from your past. Don’t let your need for independence keep you from love!

Libra

A childhood friend might need you, but you’re unable to show up for them. Be fair to yourself and take a backseat—you can't solve everyone's issues all the time. Turn your care inward and tend to your home. Start the New Year off with a clear mind and a tidy space.

Scorpio

You’re starting to find your style and become confident in your flow, go 'head, Scorpio. Allowing yourself to be playful and self-assured will magnify your blessings. You are the type of person who works hard to show your worth. There’s no need to speak—just be yourself, and that will speak volumes.

Sagittarius

After a year of being hard on yourself, it's finally a lot easier to appreciate who you are. Money is about to flow in abundance and if you’re willing to earn it, then it is yours. Or alternately, if you’re been waiting for a payout, then it is finally coming— congratulations!

Capricorn

The whole New Year, new you thing is really cliché, but that being said, it’s also pretty relevant. You’re about to feel your loins—often unexpectedly, and that might feel confusing for you. Allow yourself to embrace these newfound sexy feelings. There’s plenty of pleasure coming your way in 2022.

Aquarius

Please, let yourself feel yourself for the entirety of January. During this New Moon, you will be confronted with aspects of your personality that you once found shameful. Instead of wallowing or sitting with these feelings of disappointment, embrace who you were then and who you are becoming now. True love starts with yourself, and there’s nothing wrong with hermitting through January if that’s what you need.

Pisces

New goals, fresh contacts, and long-term working relationships await you, Pisces. Simple interactions and meet-ups could turn into important professional connections. Be sure to keep your business card handy, because you’ll have a lot of reasons to hand them out. Speak with confidence and let people know that you understand your stuff. You’ll be surprised who calls!
