2022 Planetary Retrogrades and Eclipses

A Light is Shining at the End of the Tunnel in 2022!

Although in some respects 2022 is looking ‘more normal’ than where we’ve been in recent years, sometimes we may feel as if time is speeding up, and we’re dealing with more stuff than usual!

We still have the ‘normal’ challenges and growth spurts to deal with, but the light of insight and awareness shines through to guide us, especially when planets are retrograde as we can become more self-reflective.

2022 Planetary Retrogrades and Eclipses

The Eight Planetary Retrogrades

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde ( 14/1/22 - 3/2/22, 10/5/22-3/6/22, 9/9/22-2/10/22, 29/12/22-18/1/23 )

Mighty Mercury rules over luck, travel, divination, communications, commerce, trickery, and transactions. When Mercury goes retrograde, misunderstandings and miscommunications can reign supreme. Cognition is also affected, so you may feel confused and fuzzy-headed with your head in the clouds, especially if you are an Air sign – Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius.
