Rupture of the Old Ways: Astrology Forecast January 9th - 16th, 2022

January 10th, 2022

In 2022, there will be 4 Mercury retrograde periods, rather than the usual three. The first begins this week as Mercury slows to station on Friday January 14th, turning retrograde at 10 Aquarius until February 3rd. This means that both Venus and the Messenger of the Gods will be re-tracing old ground for the rest of the month.

Last Saturday 8th, retrograde Venus was literally blacked out, occulted by the Sun, morphing into the Morning Star aka Lucifer, the light bearer. At this Capricornian Venus Star Point, something may have to die in order to be reborn. It is all about seeing what really matters when all your usual props and distractions have been taken away and working with the energies to permanently clear away the dross, the superficial and the unnecessary.

January 2022 is definitely NOT the time to:

• impose New Year’s “Resolutions” on yourself – an act of self-brutality that puts pressure on your already exhausted body and soul that should be deep in winter repose, resting in the heart of the long, creative dark
• spend money you don’t have
• undergo cosmetic surgery
• move house
• launch a new business or big project
• make a big leap just for the sake of doing something, anything
• ignore those creaking floorboards, weak links and shifting tectonic plates wherever they are in your life – let them fall apart, break and shatter

This collective Rupture to our old way of life is shining a harsh spotlight into the dark corners of 21st century culture that worships consumerism and the cult of individualism and separation. We are all disconnected and cut off from community, from nature, from our roots as humans, from the dream time, increasingly experiencing life through a small screen. We are hungry and starving for heart-based connection – to be truly seen and heard, to be truly known.
