Mercury Direct - Mars Mars Conjunct in Aquarius

In episode 332 we present our annual year ahead astrology forecast for 2022, where we look at the major astrological alignments coming up over the next 12 months and make some predictions, with astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and Leisa Schaim. We spend the first 40 minutes of this episode giving an overview of some of the major transits in 2022, including the ongoing Saturn-Uranus square, Jupiter's transit through Pisces and Aries, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars retrograde in Gemini, the Pluto return of the United States, and eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio. After that initial overview we then go into a more detailed breakdown of the next twelve months, breaking it up into four quarters, and spending about 40 minutes on each quarter of the year. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.
