HOW TO USE THIS CALENDAR BY SUSAN MILLER

I hope you will enjoy your Year Ahead 2022 Astrological Calendar! It occurred to me that you might like to have a few tips about how to use this calendar to greatest advantage.

TIME ZONES

The time zones for this calendar span the United States, but anyone, based in any city of the world, can use it, so stay with me. Specifically, I use Pacific standard or daylight time (PST or PDT) for my calculations.

Here is why I do that. If an aspect peaks at 2:06 AM in New York City on April 2, for example, it will peak at 11:06 PM in Los Angeles on April 1, so I will move that aspect to April 1 in your calendar. Readers in South America, Central America, Mexico, and Canada generally are in the same time zones as we are in the US, so you need not make any correction.

If you live in Europe or Africa, you can make a mental note to add about one-half day beyond the day I list, so you will have a little more time to take advantage of any aspect listed here. If you live in Asia, Australia, India, New Zealand, or anywhere else in that part of the globe, you are very fortunate because you’ll have approximately one entire extra day to take advantage of the aspect (or to get ready for a tough one).

ASPECTS

When any aspect peaks, it immediately begins to lose much of its power. Think of an aspect like a soufflé that has been baking in your oven—once it has reached perfection, you will remove it from the oven to serve to your guests. Immediately, it begins to sink. This is the same for an astrological aspect, for once it has peaked, it will start to lose its power. That’s why you will want to work with an aspect as it moves toward its peak stage, not after it has reached the top of the bell curve and has started to decline. Of course, you can still catch some of the glow left in a declining aspect in the following day or two if you must, but it won’t be quite the same as if you had caught it when it was growing in strength.

WHAT PLANETS RULE

SUN authority, vitality, strength, father

MOON emotions, memories, mother

MERCURY intellect, communication, commerce

VENUS love, fun, beauty

MARS energy, strength, action

JUPITER good fortune, financial gain

SATURN responsibility, stability

As I wrote your calendar, I weighed each aspect, and sometimes I agonized over which day I should place it, due to world time zones. I am confident that you will find that the day I chose will work for you.

FULL MOONS

A full moon is felt as early as two days before it appears and as much as four days after its arrival. In my column, I often say a full moon is felt plus or minus four days from the day it appears, but to be a bit more precise, you won’t strongly notice the effects of a full moon until you get to within 48 hours prior to the day of its arrival. After it has appeared, some full moons will take as long as four (or possibly, though rarely, five) days to deliver their news. Most will do so sooner—on or very close to the day of the full moon.

NEW MOONS

New moons, on the other hand, are only powerful after they occur and are not felt before the date they appear. After a new moon appears, you need to get active quickly to improve your situation because the seeds you plant during the two weeks following the new moon will have the power to affect you for up to a year. When the new moon arrives in that sign again next year, the aspects will, of course, be different, due to the different placement of the other planets. In that case, the new moon will be refreshing its energy and providing you with a different type of opportunity in the same area of your chart.

Initiate your plans just after a new moon arrives. As I said, you will need to initiate plans within the first two weeks after the new moon, but the closer you time your actions for just after the new moon’s date of appearance the better. Of course, not all new moons are helpful. Like people, some are wonderful little angels, and other new moons are difficult little witches. In the aggregate, most are mixed with a little good and a little not-so-good all rolled into one. I can help you get the most out of each new moon, so be sure to use this calendar in tandem with your monthly Astrology Zone® forecast. Take a few notes on the days you especially want to use for your own actions.

ECLIPSES

URANUS unpredictable events, chaos, genius NEPTUNE imagination, inspiration, fog, confusion PLUTO transformation, rebirth

Eclipses are very important to watch, for they set up the most dramatic surprises, opportunities, challenges, and adjustments of any given year. Typically, there are four eclipses each year, and this year we have the normal number of four eclipses. An eclipse will always fall on a new moon (solar eclipse) or a full moon (lunar eclipse). In 2022, the coming eclipses are on the following dates:

ECLIPSES FOR 2022

APRIL 30 - NEW MOON PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS 10º

MAY 15 - FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO 25º

OCTOBER 25 - NEW MOON PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO 2º

NOVEMBER 8 - FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS 16º

YOUR NATAL CHART

If you want the most complete information and the best use of this calendar, you need to integrate your personal natal chart into all I write, no matter how you access your Astrology Zone information. If you know your precise time and place of birth, you can obtain your natal chart and learn your rising sign, the most critical piece of information you can discover as you get to know astrology. You can order a chart from one of the many sites where they’re offered on the Internet—those you pay for are generally more accurate than the ones you get for free.

Also, if you were born on a cusp, by doing a chart you can determine once and for all if you lean more toward one sign or the other—this is critical to know, for it affects your ruling planet, which is accorded more weight than the other planets in your chart.

Here is something to consider: No one born now, in centuries past, or years into the future will ever have your chart. You are unique. Not even twins have the same natal chart. The configuration of planets will differ for the longitude and latitude, and even the tiniest difference in degrees of the planets matter as they move, which is recorded by the time of your birth.

YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN

Perhaps you have heard the term rising sign or ascendant associated with astrology and the natal chart. These two words refer to the same concept—they are interchangeable.

We all have two charts—a Sun-sign chart and a rising-sign chart. The Sun holds a very important place in our solar system, as all the planets dutifully march around it. (No planets march around Venus or Mars, for example—the Sun truly is special because it is in the center.)

Your rising sign is the sign found on the eastern horizon at the time you were born. The rising sign sets the timing of your horoscope and also blends with your Sun sign to create a unique version of “you,” along with the location of the other planets at the time of your birth. Your rising sign is also often an accurate picture of your personality and a remarkable predictor of your occupation. Your rising sign is the sign most people would guess you are when you first meet. (A note to sophisticated astrologers: Of course, you can put any natal planet on the ascendant and see how that planet behaves in current time—a testament to just how powerful the ascendant can be in a chart.) As you get closer to 40 years old, the mid-heaven point, or cusp of your tenth house, will also show influences of your profession and hint at your potential legacy and ultimate contribution to the world.

You can only learn your rising sign by doing a personal chart using the day, month, year, city, and precise time of your birth—to the minute.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

There are many sources you can go to if you would like to have your chart done. No matter who does your chart, all sources should yield precisely the same natal horoscope chart for you for the information is based on mathematical data provided by NASA. Reputable companies pay a royalty to an atlas company to make certain the longitude and latitude, time zones, daylight, and each nation’s changing borders are accurate for your birth chart. It matters not if you were born prematurely, by C-section, or naturally—it only matters when the umbilical cord was cut, and you began breathing on your own.

When you learn your rising sign, you must memorize it and read for that sign as well as your Sun sign faithfully each month in Astrology Zone and in my app. Your rising sign and Sun sign are of equal importance, so if you only read for one or the other, you will only be getting 50% of the information. You should always read for both your Sun sign and your rising sign (ascendant).

Only those born at dawn have the same rising sign and Sun sign, but even if you were born at dawn, have your chart done anyway. You have so much more to discover—the placement of all your other planets.

Let’s say you were born in the first week of October and have Libra rising. Then you would be what’s known as a double Libra, for the Sun is in Libra then, and with Libra rising, you would be quite true to your sign.

If you find that during one month the forecast for your Sun sign conflicts with the outlook for your rising sign, it simply means you will notice a blending of aspects in that area of your life.

For example, if the outlook for your Sun sign is that your money will be tight that month, and your rising sign portends abundance, you likely won’t notice money to be as tight as it might be for others of your Sun sign. (That’s an oversimplification, but an easy way to understand the concept.)

If, on the other hand, you have sensational financial aspects for both your rising and Sun signs, your luck may have double strength. That month may be far better for you than you ever imagined it could be. As you see, the more you know about your chart, the more accurate I can be for you!

April

New Year’s Day

The year starts out on a wonderful note with many friendly planets in January. This is one of the most encouraging months you’ve seen in several years.

Mercury Rx sextile Neptune (Capricorn–Pisces 23º)

You are perceptive and unusually intuitive. Friends may say you are downright psychic today.

Venus trine Mars Rx (Aquarius–Gemini 8º)

Mercury Rx trine Uranus Rx (Capricorn–Taurus 15º)

Ideas will pop into your head like gumdrops falling from heaven. Brainstorm—you’ll be amazed how easily you can come up with original ideas and solutions.

This is a sexy vibration between the two celestial lovers of the zodiac. Their job, when in communication, is to ignite the sparks of love. If single, this day could bring a fateful meeting. If attached, take time for each other and grow closer.

Venus sextile Jupiter (Aquarius–Aries 2º)

A bright and happy day to see friends and socialize. You may want to spend some of your holiday cash and shop for something beautiful. Alternatively, stop by the spa for a luxurious treatment.

Sun trine Uranus Rx (Capricorn–Taurus 15º)

All surprises should be good ones on this magical day.

FULL MOON (Cancer 16º)

An outstanding full moon, bringing a happy culmination to a pending matter. Uranus may bring breakthroughs and exciting surprises. Mercury and Uranus will ensure that all news is welcome news. Neptune will be cordial to Sun + full moon, adding elegance and glamour.

Orthodox Christmas Day Sun conjunct Mercury Rx (Capricorn 17º)

Your mind is alert and bright, and you will be aware of details. A perfect day to gather receipts to prepare your tax return. Also, see January 9—you will feel those dazzling vibrations as they grow over this weekend.

Sun sextile Neptune (Capricorn–Pisces 23º)

Mars goes direct (Gemini 8º), having been retrograde since October 30, 2022 (Gemini 26º)

Now that Mars is starting to move in a stronger orbit, you can soon make plans to launch new products and services and form important relationships.

If you compose music, write lyrics, novels, poems, or screenplays, or create photography, do fine art painting, or work at any other creative endeavor, concentrate on your craft—you could be amazed by the results.

Sun conjunct Pluto (Capricorn 28º)

Pluto urges us to eliminate what we no longer need. You may want to clean and declutter files and closets. Creating more space will be liberating.

Mercury goes direct (Capricorn 8º), having been retrograde since December 29, 2022 (Capricorn 24º)

Lunar New Year—Year of the Black Water Rabbit

Venus conjunct Saturn (Aquarius 25º)

You might want to socialize today, but Saturn will remind you that first you have work to do before you can play.

Uranus goes direct (Taurus 15º), having been retrograde since August 24, 2022 (Taurus 19º). Progress lies ahead.

Sun trine Mars

(Aquarius–Gemini 9º)

Show your talents, and don’t be shy. You’ll have energy to burn, and you’ll be a VIP’s favorite.

You’re confident and enthusiastic about life—go for the gold.

Mercury trine Uranus (Capricorn–Taurus 15º)

News coming in won’t be what you expect—it will be better. Call your financial advisor to review your investments to make tweaks to your retirement portfolio.

Sun sextile Jupiter (Aquarius–Aries 5º)

This might be your favorite day of the month. Good-fortune Jupiter will put you at the right place at the right time to scoop up impressive opportunities. VIPs will favor you. Financially and romantically, you can do well.

Venus enters Pisces

SUN ENTERS AQUARIUS

Venus square Uranus Rx (Aquarius–Taurus 15º)

When it comes to love and relationships, sometimes it’s impossible to get on the same wavelength. This is one of those maddening days.

NEW MOON (Aquarius 2º)

Mars will give harmonious, high-level energy to the new moon + Sun. Uranus, prominent here, will send sparkling beams to Mercury. Uranus will take the data Mercury collects and synthesize it into an innovation. Meanwhile, Jupiter contributes luck and financial benefits to you now. Sweet!

Spring Festival (China, January 21–27)

Lunar New Year’s Eve

Feast of the Epiphany

Venus enters Aquarius

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (USA)

Fixed signs (Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, & Scorpio) tend to be strongest when at 15 degrees, like we have today with this fixed planetary pair. Not an easy day, for a setback could come up. Wait for better days to initiate anything important.

Uranus will likely bring at least one happy, spontaneous surprise on this cheerful full moon.

The Sun will play a prominent role, and with Mars supporting the Sun, you can now move mountains. Your energy will be strong and sustained. Saturn will orbit near the Sun (wide, within 10 degrees), so you may be ready to make a long-term decision.

Mercury sextile Neptune (Capricorn–Pisces 24º)

A marvelous day to do creative writing or public speaking, for your expressions will be magically vivid and imaginative.

Venus sextile Uranus (Pisces–Taurus 15º)

Mercury conjunct Pluto (Capricorn 29º)

Venus

A passionate vibration that could find you eager for a romantic evening with your one and only. Venus is also involved with the arts, so with Mars sharpening Venus’ perception, you may come up with a new idea to move an artistic endeavor forward.

NEW MOON (Pisces 1º)

Venus sextile Pluto (Pisces–Capricorn 29º)

This new moon will incorporate stability because Saturn is near and have an ultimately joyous and passionate vibe thanks to Venus and Pluto. Also, start a creative project, or tap into the spirituality within you.

Mercury in Capricorn will keep you realistic too, so combining practicality with vision could add up to a profitable project.

A lovely day for an unexpected meeting of a romantic interest. This is a Tuesday, but you may feel this lyrical vibe over the weekend of February 4-5.

Valentine’s Day

This day for lovers will mix romantic love with realistic expectations—a winning attitude.

If you accept—or offer—a marriage proposal, you’ll do so with love and acceptance of all your partner’s qualities, not just the ones you treasure. Passionate Mars’ support of the moon gives you the nod to proceed with enthusiasm.

Moon in Aries gets golden vibes from generous Jupiter.

Presidents’ Day (USA)

You may have the day off. Spend it near a frozen lake, foggy landscape, or snowy mountain top. Yesterday’s new moon plus the closeness of Venus and Neptune will increase feelings of love over this long, romantic weekend (including Monday).

Venus enters Aries

Mardi Gras

Mercury square Uranus (Aquarius–Taurus 15º)

Travel may bring confusion and reversals. If working on a scientific or medical matter, double-check research for errors and inaccuracies. Not a day to launch a new project or relationship. News can be jarring and unexpected.

Venus conjunct Neptune (Pisces 24º)

One of the most enchanting days of the year for love and romance. Married or single, this day will please, for Neptune, the higher octave of Venus, brings love to a deeper, richer place. Also, a perfect day to enjoy culture: Attending a ballet or concert could prove memorable.

Sun conjunct Saturn (Aquarius 28º)

A somber day when work demands may press on you. If someone criticizes you, listen to the feedback, but don’t let it deflate your spirit or sense of purpose. In a day or two you will likely feel better.

If a financial mystery has been tugging on you, dig deep into your research, and you will find your answer.

Chinese Lantern Festival Mercury enters Aquarius

Mercury sextile Jupiter (Aquarius–Aries 9º)

A fabulous day to travel or to work in the communication arts. Give a speech, send a report, or work on your novel. You might debut your new website or place your new app on the market. Sign a contract this morning, and check my Moonlight Phases® app (Apple, Google Play) to be sure the moon is not void of course where you live or travel to. GPS is built in.

Ash Wednesday Lent (Catholic, begins)

Mercury trine Mars (Aquarius–Gemini 17º)

All the right words come to you when you need them most. You are confident, and rightly so, as your mind will be sharp.

If you need to come up with facts on the spot, this is your day to display your talents.

square Mars (Pisces–Gemini 11º)

Groundhog Day

Sun square Uranus (Aquarius–Taurus 15º)

SUN ENTERS PISCES

FULL MOON (Leo 17º)

Mothering Day (UK)

The transiting moon is in Pisces—treat your mother to the ballet and afterwards, high tea in a la-de-da hotel.

Purim (Jewish, begins at sundown, ends evening March 7)

Sun sextile Uranus (Pisces–Taurus 16º)

A gorgeous day when a surprise may thrill you. You will also find that it’s the perfect time to experiment with innovative ideas and enter new projects, especially ones involving new technology. You may feel excited and stimulated by others’ ideas— add some of your own to theirs.

Venus conjunct Jupiter (Aries 12º)

One of the happiest days of the year for all signs, and air and fire signs get a double dip of pleasure. The loving qualities of Venus will be beautifully enlarged by Jupiter. Love, beauty, grace, and financial news shine.

Mercury conjunct Saturn (Aquarius 29º)

You will concentrate well, and your ability to dig deep into a matter will be impressive. If you sign a contract, your promise will be in place a long time. That can be good or bad news. Have an exit clause inserted in case you want to leave later.

Mercury enters Pisces

FULL MOON (Virgo 17º)

Uranus to send silvery beams to the full moon + Sun, so watch for sudden, happy developments within five days of this date. Mercury will orbit close (within 8 degrees) to Saturn—you may make a long-term commitment. Venus and Mars will flirt, engendering romance. Neptune promotes creativity and unconditional love.

Saturn enters Pisces to stay until February 2026

Mars square Neptune (Gemini–Pisces 25º)

Your desire to help a charity or a group that’s been marginalized will be strong. Your confidence may lag a little, though, if a person who is jealous tries to put down your good intentions. Listen to no one but the whispers in your heart.

NEW MOON (Aries 1º)

Sun conjunct Neptune (Pisces 25º)

A beautiful day to work on a creative project or, if it is finished, to present it to a potential client or sponsor.
