Areas of Expansion in 2022 for Virgo:

Partnerships
Agreements or Negotiations
Intimacy
Emotional & Financial Support
Shared Assets/Money/Resources

Your Virgo 2022 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to improve, expand, and grow.

Until May 10th, and then October 28th-December 20th, 2022, your relationships receive a boost of forward-moving energy. This cycle helps you succeed in partnership or improve your relationship status/situation.

This influence spans three date ranges, and we’re on the second and third waves this year:

from May 13-July 28, 2021,
from December 28, 2021-May 10, 2022,
and from October 28, 2022-December 20, 2022

In other words, you’re experiencing these themes in steps, and it started last year from May to July. You begin the year 2022 having just started the second step.

Your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation continue to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges.

Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly.

Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual.

The positive potentials of this transit are many: You can negotiate more successfully and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might resolve, and settling more casual disputes amicably can figure strongly.

You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job.

Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or you enter into successful new ones during this period. It’s a relationship-boosting period!

Jupiter rules your sector of family, hearth, and home. Any of these things tie into partnerships during this time. A romantic or business partnership could form that’s related to home or real estate, through family connections, or that’s characterized by very warm, supportive, or homey themes. A partnership may strengthen, or a significant person in your life can help make you feel more secure.

Shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies might be a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you attract people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Potential negatives: You might attract partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or desire for increased freedom. Be careful not to sugarcoat or close your eyes to problem areas that could grow exponentially at this time. Watch for having your blinders on with people.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with a significant “other.” A partnership can be a source of inspiration, and the realization of a happiness goal seems more likely through the support or positivity of a friend/partner.

Booster periods for these themes are February, April, and early May. As you grow through new ideas, studies, or experiences, you bring back more confidence to a relationship. Or, a special person in your life inspires you to learn and grow. Connecting with significant people through your new beliefs, ideas, or studies can figure strongly, and it can feel wonderful. You’re also improving your communication skills to improve relationships.

From May 10-October 28, and then from December 20th onward, there is a wonderful, refreshing focus on your private world or intimate life – a possible deepening of a relationship, or an increased understanding of your inner workings–a boost in your relationship with yourself!

Your intimate life begins to enlarge and expand, bringing you more joy and new discoveries.

This influence spans two date ranges, with the first wave happening in full this year, and the second one starting near the end of 2022:

from May 10-October 28, 2022,
and from December 20, 2022-May 16, 2023.

You’re experiencing these themes in steps, starting this year from May to October.

During this cycle, you learn to embrace inner change to feel more empowered. There may be more opportunities to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.

It’s a time to grab opportunities that help you to feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations and musings are deep and lead to fruitful discoveries. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through or from others, whether it’s about a refund, an easier time acquiring loans or mortgages, an increase in a partner’s income, or you inherit something valuable.

Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part–it all depends on your current circumstances.

These things are more likely to relate to your home, family, personal life, or sense of security since Jupiter rules these things in your solar chart. There may be a metamorphosis of sorts related to your domestic world, living arrangements, or concept of what’s most fundamental to you. For some, it’s about a move or significant investment.

Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. Be wise when/if lending and borrowing.

Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your
emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems. It might also be a significant period for sexual discovery and depth.

While there can be some reality checks, it’s a potent period for psychological growth.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Work, Routines, Health

Work
Daily Affairs
Health & Habits

Your Virgo 2022 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

All year, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs work, health, daily routines, employees, pets, and habits. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence began in 2020, and it will continue until March 2023.

You’ll feel this influence most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Virgo. This year, those born with a Virgo Ascendant of 12 to 25 degrees, and those born from September 4-17, are most directly affected.

Tests can come to work and working relationships during this cycle. Responsibilities in your daily life can weigh heavily – they appear magnified! Do be sure that you are attending to your responsibilities, and not letting them pile up. Some of you might even experience some form of loss or scandal on the work front, or possibly some heavy-handed activity and powerplays with co-workers. However, this is only in extreme cases.

For those of you unhappy with your job or out of work, you are not likely to jump to grab just any position that comes along now. You are looking for something mature, long-term, and reflective of your values. However, because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might seem to be slim. It’s also possible that the pickings are slim, in general, regardless of your perception!

The monotonous part of your work can seem harder to take, and it makes sense to restructure enough to make it work for you. Try not to see flaws, complain, and leave it at that. Instead, take it upon yourself to make whatever adjustments you can that will improve your working conditions. The rewards may be slow to transpire, but they’re great when they do come!

This can be true of daily routines or chores, not just working conditions. Health matters might be a little more problematic than usual. Even so, these are likely to be minor problems that can be fixed with extra attention. Essentially, this transit gives you a kick in the pants to get your self-care programs into good shape!

While the work we do may sometimes feel too routine or boring, it can also give us a strong feeling of purpose. We want to be needed, we want to help and support others, and to do our share. If you’ve been overdoing a supportive role, or if you’ve been scattering your energies and haven’t truly noted just how much you do, then Saturn here will stimulate you to tidy up. In the end, you can, in fact, feel more joyful about the services you provide and the support you give, after taking a realistic look at these things and making the necessary adjustments.

Seek ways to balance your activities and responsibilities at this time. This is also an excellent period for simplifying and structuring your life. Because the energy of this theme is comfortable and understandable to you in these areas of life, you may very well welcome the structuring energy of this transit on your daily routines.

You can be quite determined to make things work and you’re especially capable. Disciplined efforts to advance can pay off.

Saturn is in one of the signs that it rules, Aquarius, during this period, and performs fairly well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius was from 1991-early 1994.

This can be a year in which you’re particularly determined and goal-oriented in your work or with your daily routines, chores, and tasks. You could have special pet projects that are motivating. Love, romance, and dating can be tied in with your health routines or work/job this year.

There can certainly be times when your desire for non-routine experiences and learning can conflict with your need to structure your daily affairs especially in April. While you’re likely to do battle with different goals and needs, a comfortable balance is within reach.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Mind Expansion, Education, Enlightenment, Discovery, Sharing

Education
Publishing & Sharing
Beliefs & Ideas
Adventure & Travel

Your 2022 Virgo Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Good news for you: until 2026, Uranus is in a supportive, positive aspect to your sign, suggesting a gentle nudge toward experimenting and connecting with your uniqueness.

All year, you’re in a lengthy period (lasting about seven years overall!) in which your belief systems and knowledge change and develop. You experience a spiritual awakening of sorts. Travel opportunities may arise, or new topics or adventures, whether physical or mental, open you up to new experiences.

We’re now at approximately 3-4 years in, so we’re at about the halfway point of this cycle.

Learning needs to be exciting or cutting edge for you in order to keep your interest at this time, but while you are less interested in traditional subjects or methods of learning, if you are on an educational path, be sure to “endure” some of these things so that your training is relevant to your career goals.

Life experiences are slightly unpredictable and quite exciting. You are embracing change and more easily incorporate changes into your personality.

Note that this theme often opens up unexpected and seemingly random opportunities to explore new places and topics. In normal circumstances, this can include travel, but during a pandemic when travel is restricted, it can take place on other levels related to new adventures, such as “armchair travel” and new ideas or virtual connections with people and places that you never explored before. How transits affect you always depend on your current circumstances and stage of development.

Note that this influence is with you until April 2026. It’s a wonderfully supportive, gently stimulating and motivating period. You may be doing a lot more sharing and exploring ideas. You may be connecting with friends or groups that inspire and excite you or encourage you to grow and expand your mind and experiences.

While there can still be times when duties, health programs, and self-care efforts can seem to clash with your desire to learn and share, it can feel much easier to enjoy this theme in the year 2022. Especially in February and July, people in your life can encourage your new ideas or topics of interest. You’re also working on opening up to new experiences, and while it’s not always easy to do, you’re enjoying pushing yourself a little to explore and share more.

The work you do may be related to publishing, guiding, or teaching during this period.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Love Affairs, Children, Recreation, Spirit, Adventure, Beliefs, Learning

Love Affairs & Romance
Children
Recreation
Hobbies
Beliefs & Worldview
Transportation

Your 2022 Virgo Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Love affairs can bring intense personal transformations again this year and beyond. This is a very long-term influence that has already been present in your life for many years (since 2008) and will be with you for a while longer (until 2024). You may be meeting people who turn you inside out, and through experiences with them, you learn more about your own power over your life. While experience is good – it builds character – protect your heart and your body by employing some caution with new people in your life.

Indeed, there can be some periods of friction involved with this evolution and pressure to make things happen when Pluto is in challenging aspects with the planets. However, with only minor longer-term challenging aspects, it feels more manageable.

Booster periods include February and May. February is particularly strong for strengthening your confidence. You can feel it a mission this year to nurture your desire to learn or experience more outside of your usual routine. More single-mindedness and focus can help you gain knowledge or learn more efficiently instead of dabbling, and it’s satisfying! May brings another boost related to partnering or gaining new perspectives that improve your life. You could be taking steps to better yourself, feeling motivated by happier or more applicable relationship goals/needs.

From January 18th forward, the North Node transits your sector of spirit, worldview, belief systems, sharing, and transportation. A theme is building in your life in 2022, and it’s about more fully embracing your ideas, beliefs, and need for learning and discovery. In these areas of life, you’re likely to see important changes. It began with the Lunar Eclipse in November last year, and it develops further with this year’s four eclipses.

Transits in 2022 highlight education, adventure, learning, publishing, and exploring new possibilities and horizons. They challenge you to grow and improve related to your perspective, belief system, outlook, personal philosophy, studies, publishing, sharing ideas, and transportation. You can benefit greatly from expanding your perspective this year.

One of the major keys to happiness in 2022 is learning to reach out and connect beyond your usual bounds. Seek personal growth through expanding your horizons, such as through higher studies, philosophical pursuits, or different experiences. Connecting with others, even virtually, of different backgrounds or cultures can be a rich experience.

There may be an important beginning or culmination in education. If you are in business, a writer, or the like, you might reach a wider audience. Big changes in transportation and mobility may be in the works.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2022: Mercury, your ruler, travels quickly through the signs, covering a lot of ground in any given year. This may be why the sign of Virgo is associated with some nervousness but also much knowledge and many interests.

Mercury’s retrograde periods are times for reflection and perhaps some backtracking.

In 2022, Mercury retrogrades four times, and these periods are from:

January 14 to February 3 (in Aquarius and Capricorn),
May 10 to June 3 (in Gemini and Taurus),
September 9 to October 2 (in Libra and Virgo).
and then December 29 (to January 22, 2023, in Capricorn).

These times require reassessing issues, reflection, and taking things a little more slowly, particularly during the September-October retrograde period when Mercury is retrograde in your sign.

When Mercury is out of bounds, you can have the tendency to act out of character if you’re not careful, and these periods in 2022 are from July 6-13 and November 23-December 21.

More power to you when Mercury is direct in your sign, and in 2022, this occurs from August 4-25 and October 3-9.

Better days are February 11-12, March 23-26, April 26-28, June 10, August 14-16, August 22-23, September 25-27 (although Mercury is Rx during this period), November 16, and December 24.

*It’s important to note that birthdates for Sun signs are always approximate since the starting date and time varies a bit every single year.
