Welcome to the first month of 2022, charming Virgo. Your ruling planet is Mercury, which is most commonly known for its infamous retrogrades (and yes, there is one this month). However, Mercury is the messenger of the Gods, and intelligent, put together, and an excellent communicator. If you ever need reassurance that Virgos always have it together, just remember that Beyoncé is a Virgo. No wonder the queen is a perfectionist. 

On Sunday, January 2, Mercury enters independent Aquarius and turns your attention to your health. Are you communicating your needs well enough to others, Virgo? Perhaps you're ready to try a new relationship format or need to tell a prospective partner to slow things down. There's also a new moon in fellow Earth sign Capricorn on Sunday, January 2. Dark new moons are for intention-setting and new beginnings. It's not too late to make New Years' resolutions. Go ahead and politely share your needs. 

Because Mercury is your ruling planet, you are more affected by its backward dance than others. 

The first Mercury retrograde of the year begins on Friday, January 14, and goes through Thursday, February 3. You can expect the usual travel delays, technology mishaps, and texts from exes. It's also not a great time to sign important documents, but double-read the fine print if you must. Your main goal during this Mercury retrograde is not to let it get you down Virgo. Because Mercury is your ruling planet, you are more affected by its backward dance than others. So work out, have sex, or scream into a pillow to take your frustrations out on something other than your friends and lovers. 

There's a full moon in sweet Cancer on Monday, January 17, which brings your friendships into the spotlight. First off, stop feeling awkward, Virgo. Everyone is still adjusting to socialization while staying safe during the pandemic. But even if it's just a phone call, reconnect with your friends these days. It doesn't matter if you're single or in a relationship; your friends are your backbone. Remember to put as much effort into your friendships as your work and love life. 

Whether you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder or just feel anxious as hell, please know that there are ways to treat it. 

Uranus, which rules independence, innovation, and humanitarian efforts, goes direct on Tuesday, January 18. It's been retrograde since Thursday, August 19, 2021. Uranus retrograde asked you to give your anxiety the attention it deserves finally. Ugh, I know, retrogrades always call us out. Whether you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder or just feel anxious as hell, please know that there are ways to treat it. From at-home techniques like meditation and breathing to working with a therapist, or trying medication, when Uranus goes direct, it wants you to cut as much discomfort out of your life as possible. 

Aquarius season begins on Wednesday, January 19. Like its ruling planet, Uranus, Aquarius is an inspiring activist but flaky at times. The stereotype of an Aquarius is someone running a political campaign who forgets to text their friends back. Use this time to get more involved in a cause you care about, such as anti-racism work, but remember, Virgo, text back your friends. When the fighter planet Mars enters Capricorn on Monday, January 24, it's going to be hard to think about anything other than sex. So text your friends now, so they don't think you only get in touch to brag about getting laid.

At the end of January and early February, you may be meeting someone new or trying thrilling new kinks with your current partner. 

When your ruling planet, Mercury, moves out of Aquarius and into devilish Capricorn on Tuesday, January 25, the only kind of talk that you're interested in is dirty. At the end of January and early February, you may be meeting someone new or trying thrilling new kinks with your current partner. Venus retrograde comes to an end on Saturday, January 29. It's been retrograde since Sunday, December 19, 2021. Love feels more complicated while Venus is retrograde, but celebrate smooth sailing with multiple orgasms when it goes direct. Enjoy, and see you next month!
