Your Guide To Surviving Mercury Retrograde in 2022, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
]
Mercury retrograde normally only occurs three times per calendar year. However, for 2022, this year will see four retrogrades.
The first three periods — January 14 to February 3, May 10 to June 3 and from September 9 to October 2 — carry the energy of the changeover of the retrograde cycle from the signs belonging to the Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) to the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn). All three retrograde periods will start in an Air sign and end in an Earth sign. “There is a recurrent theme of taking the thoughts, ideas and intentions brought to you by the Air signs and turning them into something real, solid and substantial, which is what the Earth signs are focused on,” Yana Yanovich, Nebula‘s Western astrologer, tells us.
The fourth Mercury retrograde will take place from December 28, 2022 to January 18th, 2023. This particular event marks the full transition of the retrograde cycle into the grounded, practical and realistic approach the signs of this element display.
Below, Yanovich shares how the cosmic event will affect your zodiac sign and how you can prepare for it.

First Mercury Retrograde (January 14 to February 3 – Aquarius)
On January 14, Mercury began moving forward in Aquarius and will turn back into direct motion in Capricorn on February 3. During the first period, the ideas are big, innovative and socially oriented in accordance with the Aquarius energy. Turning them into something real requires careful calculation, strategic thinking and self-discipline.
The first period of Mercury retrograde will happen between 10 degrees of Aquarius and 24 degrees of Capricorn. The change of signs during the retrograde motion means that twice the amount of signs will be affected. However, it is extremely important to pay attention to the degrees here because one and the same sign will be affected differently, depending on whether it is the beginning or the end of the sign. This is the tricky part of the three retrograde periods this coming year.
Be really careful reading the following recommendations, as it is important to pay attention to whether the beginning of the end of each sign is mentioned. Mercury changes signs during its movement, so it is important to follow this division.
Born at the end of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, and at the beginning of Aquarius, Libra and Gemini
The influence on your chart will be the strongest as Mercury will be in direct contact with your chart. The big ideas and making them into reality on a larger social scale are applicable to you, provided you’re careful in your communication.
Born at the end of Cancer, Aries, Libra and at the beginning of Taurus, Leo and Scorpio
This first retrograde period brings more challenges than positive things, and it is better to steer clear of large and important projects for the risk of having unnecessary mishaps and delays.
Born at the end of Scorpio and Pisces, and at the beginning of Aries and Sagittarius
You will feel the urge to get involved in some social activities. However, it will require effort to actually make something happen the way you want it to happen. As a result, there is a chance of being disappointed and, thus, it is a good idea to curb your expectations.
The rest of the signs will not be affected during the first period. Always remember to look at your entire chart because there might be important personal planets placed in those sections of the zodiac and not just your Natal sun.
Second Mercury Retrograde (May 10 to June 3 – Gemini)
During the second period on May 10, Mercury retrograde will also start in an Air sign, Gemini, and end in Taurus, an Earth sign, on June 3. The ideas and thoughts are more personal this time — something on a smaller scale and from your immediate environment could use your attention. This can be something done for the sake of or with help of close family and friends, maybe even your neighbors. The second retrograde period will happen 26 degrees of Taurus and four degrees of Gemini.
Third Mercury Retrograde (September 9 to October 2 – Libra)
The third retrograde period is happening from September 9 to October 2. Again, it crosses into a neighboring sign, going from Libra back to Virgo and connecting the elements of Air and Earth. Thus, the energy of this period is to implement the ideas of cooperation and a fair-minded approach (Libra) in order to get tangible, practical results (Virgo). Remember, Virgo is operating on a small scale and is focused on something really practical and useful — something that helps your daily life, personal or professional, to function smoothly. This especially concerns communication, which is always tricky when Mercury is moving backward. The third retrograde period will happen 24 degrees of Virgo and eight degrees of Libra.
Fourth Mercury Retrograde (December 28, 2022 to January 18, 2023 – Capricorn)
The last Mercury retrograde period starts on December 29 of this year and will most likely carry over to 2023. Unlike the previous three retrograde periods of the year, this one is entirely in the Earth sign of Capricorn. This marks the full transition of the retrograde cycle into the grounded, practical and realistic approach the signs of this element display.
The focus is going to be on mastery and achievement, as well as discipline and organization, which are all of Capricorn’s main traits. It will be a good time to carefully reflect on your life to see if there are actions or people who prevent you from achieving greater results or heights. If you don’t do it yourself, the circumstances or events of this current retrograde period might force you to face the necessity to do it.

Moon calendar 2022—mark your diaries for new moons, full moons, and lunar eclipses
]
The moon calendar 2022 is filled with all the dates of new moons, full moons, lunar and solar eclipses—and which sign of the zodiac they fall in. In light of the gravitas of these events in astrology, it’s definitely worth marking them down in your calendar ahead of time.
Your Moon sign is an indicator, in your astrology birth chart, of your deepest desires and needs. On top of what it shows in our chart, the moon is also an important factor in the astrological events in 2022.
The moon and the lunar cycle have been a source of fascination since humanity began. Many still believe that the lunar cycle can affect moods and how people behave—often with a more negative connotation. Move over Mercury in retrograde 2022—we’ll get to you later.
In fact, words like ’looney’ and ’lunatic’, which are insensitive and outdated words often given to people with mental illness, have their origins from ’luna’—the Latin word for moon. And in fairness, before humanity knew the science behind the lunar cycle and eclipses—they had the capacity to cause widespread anxiety and panic.
Heck, even during the information age, any staunch disbelievers in astrology could find themselves all aquiver if they took a deep dive into the royal family’s link to eclipses.
Spooky correlations aside, the cycle itself offers an opportunity to take pause, meditate, think about what you’d like to leave behind, and what you’d like to focus on moving forward.
So when you’re making your plans, as well as checking out your 2022 horoscope, you had better consider when to schedule full moon rituals to help you manifest bliss this year.
Woman&home will keep you up to date with monthly guides from expert astrologers, the meaning behind each moon’s name, and all the tips and tricks to make the best of your year.

Joey Bada$$ / Via Giphy
• 2022 kicks off during the midpoint of Venus retrograde in Capricorn. The planet of love and money turns direct on Jan. 29, ending the retrograde journey that began on Dec. 19, 2021. This will allow us to assess romantic and financial endeavors.
• The first Venus Star Point of 2022 is January 8th in Capricorn. The second Venus Star Point occurs on Oct. 22 in Libra. This astrological phenomenon happens when the sun, Earth, and Venus connect and create a five-pointed star that lends its energy to help us manifest love.
• There are four Mercury retrogrades in 2022: Jan. 14 to Feb. 3 in Aquarius and Capricorn, May 10 to June 3 in Gemini and Taurus, Sept. 9 to Oct. 2 in Libra and Virgo, and Dec. 29 to Jan. 18, 2023, in Capricorn.
• The North Node of Destiny shifts into Taurus on Jan. 18, moving the South Node into Scorpio. Commitment, romance, and love will be at the forefront of our hearts.
• There will be four eclipses in 2022: April 30 (solar eclipse in Taurus), May 16 (lunar eclipse in Scorpio), Oct. 25 (solar eclipse in Scorpio), and Nov. 8 (lunar eclipse in Taurus) — all of which will heighten passions and tenderness in partnerships.
• Venus and Mars will connect two times in 2022: Feb. 12 in Capricorn and March 12 in Aquarius. These are wonderful times to go on a date, ask for a higher allowance, or level up relationships.
• Action planet Mars will be retrograde from Oct. 30, 2022, to Jan. 12, 2023, in Gemini, which means we’ll all be temperamental and at a loss for words.
• Generous Jupiter and altruistic Neptune connect in Pisces on April 12. Their alliance will open all of our hearts and deepen our feelings.
• Jupiter enters Aries from May 10 to Oct. 28. Then, it will re-enter Pisces from Oct. 28 to Dec. 20. Jupiter moves back into Aries from Dec. 20, 2022, until May 16, 2023. For all the time in between Jupiter’s stint in Aries, the lucky planet will be in Pisces. There will be a need to understand others on an emotional level (this is because of Jupiter in Pisces), which will eventually intensify into passion (because of Jupiter in Aries).
• Rebellious Uranus and the North Node of Destiny will connect in Taurus on July 31, making it a time to move toward newness in our lives. Also, it will be a good day to check on cryptocurrency investments. The price may change around this time.
The January 2022 wolf moon will bring a ton of drama
]
Let’s get emotional! The wolf moon will sing within the night of Jan. 17, 2022. Emotions will be heated, bringing intense feelings, sudden revelations and relationship turmoil.
Read how your zodiac sign will be affected here. For more information on the wolf moon, check out the information after the horoscopes.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
An emotional shift around a domestic affair could be at hand for you, Aries. Some of you may have sudden news that causes you to have to pivot the way you’ve been handling a family, home or real estate matter. You may be required to step in to aid a parent or one of your kindred, but the situation may end up being quite frustrating and you must power through it. Luckily, if you have the sudden urge to move or redecorate, you may be able to transform the sense of joy you experience in your living space.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
A big turning point around a communication or mental project is at hand, Taurus. You may suddenly be focusing on a writing, speaking, advertising or social media initiative and trying to get all the pieces tied down. On one hand, you could make a lot of progress with it — but you may be quite emotional about how it’s all coming together. An important contract could also pop up near this time and you may feel a bit forced to sign it. If you can delay, do so — but it seems like it’ll be thrust upon you, making you feel like you’re walking on eggshells.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
A big financial matter is arriving for you to handle, Gemini, and it may feel like a bigger expense than you’d prefer to handle. Instead, you may now be looking at your budget and finances and realizing you need to make some serious adjustments. Luckily, this same full moon could also bring news of a new job, raise or lucrative client, too, so be on the hunt.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

A major turning point arrives for you now, Cancer. This particular lunation could also bring up some power struggles and intense revelations between you and a partner. On one hand, you are clearly asserting your authority and power at this time and may see the culmination of or a turning point around a heartfelt project or dream. If you need aid at this time, think outside of the box and reach out to others who may be able to step in and provide what you need.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Lie low and recharge, Leo. This full moon will have you feeling quite anxious and cause you to dig deep to decide what you need to release in order to be a happier and brighter version of yourself. Your dreams could be especially intense and a secret may now emerge that you — or another — desperately tried to keep hidden. This may cause emotions to be stirred and past situations to be addressed once again. The best way to handle this energy is to chill out, clear your plans and focus on a mini staycation.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Festive events and plans could fill your social calendar near this time, Virgo. However, there could be some push-pull energy between you, a friend and someone you’re dating. Another way this could manifest is around a situation with children. The best thing to do is to avert the dramatic vibes, breathe through it and remind everyone that it’s better to bring love into the world and not hate.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
A big shift around your career is sure to pop up now. However, prepare to also be dealing with some tension around home and family situations too as you reach for new professional heights. Luckily, a promotion, new job or recognition could pop up now, depending on how hard you’ve been working in recent months, too. If for some reason something rocky appears regarding an authority figure, explain your side of the story.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21).
Soaring in vast new directions will be on the top of your mind, Scorpio. However, you could be feeling tension crop up that is limiting the plans for success or travel that you’d previously hoped for. Significant legal or contractual situations could appear, especially regarding media, academic or international business.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Intimacy, sharing and sexual energy will be on the top of your mind near this full moon, Sagittarius. On one hand, you could be feeling especially close with your partner and cuddling up. However, if there’s distance or a disconnect, you could rehash the details or even decide it’s time to file for divorce and pursue a settlement. In other news, you may instead be focusing upon a big money matter, such as your assets, investments, employment benefits or even an inheritance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Where do you stand in your significant partnerships, Capricorn? Are you on the same page or just growing apart? You could be feeling especially intense, as it could be a make-or-break time for your relationships. If you’re happy, you could have a transformative revelation to grow closer, especially around moving in, discussing engagement or even readying to tie the knot. In this regard, you’d transform for the better. However, if you and your significant other are just feeling the friction, you’re sure to have a dramatic episode that sends you apart like leaves cast into the wind.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
The full moon will be cranking up your productivity, Aquarius. You could be quite busy putting the finishing touches on an employment or work-related project near this time. If you’re looking for a new job or to take on more responsibility, you may do so now. However, you may instead be assessing your work-life balance and also taking a deep look at your health, diet or fitness. Lastly, if you have a pet, they may have a bit of a rocky time near this full moon. Some Aquarians may decide to adopt near this time, too.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Prepare to feel a surge of passion near this time, Pisces. You’re ready to let loose and have a bit of fun, so get your dancing shoes on! However, beware that this lunation could create some power struggles or some tension between you, your romantic partner and a friend. Your acquaintance may not be seeing eye-to-eye with you on your relationship or have ulterior motives of their own. Luckily, if you open your heart, you could push past the drama and focus more on your true desires. Single Pisceans could find someone new through their network near this time, too.

What else should I know about the wolf moon?
Full moons occur when our beloved brilliant moon stands at her brightest light. These periods tend to represent turning points, culminations, endings or awakenings. They are especially emotional and start to creep up on us a few days prior and echo for the week that follows them. Full moons are connected to new moons, and this particular one will echo the themes, situations and discussions that began near July 9, 2021. Reflect back on that period and see how much progress you’ve made since then.
The wolf moon was originally named for the howls in the night that could often be heard near this time. The wolf moon this year is also a full moon in Cancer. This water sign’s energy will crackle through the air. Often, this encourages us to dig deep into our emotions and become reflective on our heritage, the past and how stable our domestic life is. Situations around family and real estate often emerge near this time, too. As Cancer is a very moody and sensitive zodiac sign, our feelings will be of primary concern now.
This full moon has a unique planetary configuration that will trigger powerful, transformative and intense experiences. The sun will be united with Pluto, bringing us the desire to assert our dominance and be obeyed. However, with the moon opposed to Pluto, relationship drama and power struggles are also guaranteed. It would be wise to beware of manipulative, destructive, violent, obsessive or addictive situations. Wild mood swings are also quite likely. As a saving grace, though, the full moon will be sweetly angled to Neptune, enhancing our creative, romantic and spiritual energy. Connecting with friends, healers and people who have a compassionate nature can help us to divert some of the more volatile energy swirling at this time. Be sympathetic and kind to others and surround yourself with those who vibrate brightly rather than those who encourage darker energy.
What other names are there for the wolf moon?
The full moon of January has many names that have trickled down from Native American culture and proliferated through the Farmer’s Almanac. Other names for this lunation are also the center moon (Assiniboine), cold moon (Cree), frost exploding moon (Cree), freeze up moon (Algonquin), severe moon (Dakota), hard moon (Dakota), Canada goose moon (Tlingit), great moon (Cree), greetings moon (Western Abenaki) and spirit moon (Ojibwe).
When is the wolf moon this year?
The wolf moon reaches fullness on Jan. 17, 2022, at 27 degrees of Cancer. View it at 6:48 p.m. (Eastern time).
