2022: New Years Resolution For The Zodiac Signs
2022: New Years Resolution For The Zodiac Signs
By: Deniz Kilic | Moonlight Astrology
It's that time of year again where everyone is making resolutions for the New Year. While some are pledging to work out more, eat healthier, or save money, have you considered what your resolution should be? If not, don't worry – I've got you covered! In my most recent blog post, I break down which New Year's resolution is best suited for each zodiac sign. So whether you're a hardworking Capricorn or a spontaneous Aries, there's something here for everyone!
Aries Zodiac Signs: March 21 – April 19
What Resolution You Should Make: Be patient.
You’re a bonafide risk taker and tend to act on impulse especially if you get excited over something. But who can blame you? You’re a cardinal fire sign, meaning you’re a trailblazer who’s full of great ideas. Once you’ve got your sights set on something, you’re willing to take drastic measures to get it. However, there can be some harm in always striking while the iron is hot — for one, you can get burned if you aren’t careful. Opportunities will surely come your way in 2022, and you’re going to grapple with the urge to say yes to them all, but remember to always read the fine print (there’s nothing wrong with sleeping on it, either). This goes for within relationships, too, as you’ll see when Venus, the planet of romance and art, goes retrograde in Capricorn early 2022 — Capricorn is all about slow-moving discipline, which can have you feeling impatient with your loved ones, but remain understanding and empathetic to those around you.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Make your wait enjoyable. Look, you’re going to have to wait on people and 2022, so make a game out of it. Download some time wasting apps (or get sucked into the different corners of Tik Tok), or devise a plan so you’re at least not bored while you’re waiting.
Taurus Zodiac Signs: April 20 – May 20
What Resolution You Should Make: Get outside of your comfort zone.
Taurus, being inside might not be too bad for you, being that you’re all about feeling comfortable and at home. But the stars tell a different story, and boy, the upcoming year is looking like a transformative one for you. For starters, the year is kicking off with Uranus, the planet of shock and disruption, entering your sphere in January, which will last until the end of summer. This will be an uncomfortable time for you as you grapple with the idea of change and pushing your limits. As a fixed earth sign who craves comfort, you need stability and security, but Uranus retrograde switching up your routines may feel extra foreign and unwelcoming, but it’s all to help you grow and explore new worlds around you. Mercury retrograde will be entering your native Taurus this year and will meet with Gemini near its ending, symbolizing transitioning from a practical mindset to being more whimsical. There’s plenty of time for you to grow into yourself in 2022, while breathing life into a different part of yourself.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Make gradual changes. One way you can keep your cool is by taking control of what you can. Add a new route to your commute or try out your favorite meal at a new restaurant. You can’t predict curveballs, but you can control how you feel about them.
Gemini Zodiac Signs: May 21 – June 20
What Resolution You Should Make: Practice Self-Care.
Gemini, you’re a certified multitasker, and you love to take on more than you can actually handle, so let’s unpack that. With Venus going retrograde in Capricorn at the beginning of the year, money will be heavy on your mind — you’ll feel the pressure to grind and perform well at work that it may push you on the brink of burnout. That’s amplified by Mercury, your native sign, entering its retrograde in Gemini. This period will show you the importance of slowing down and creating time to take care for your mind, body, and soul. This is the year you take your self-care ritual seriously and to stay consistent.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Consistency is key. You tend to be flighty and inconsistent, but it’s only because you want to be everywhere at once. This year, focus on aligning your inner work by making a written and verbal commitment to following through on your self-care routine — and be creative!
Cancer Zodiac Signs: June 21 – July 22
What Resolution You Should Make: Seek new perspectives.
Cancer, 2022 may feel particularly heavy for you as many of the themes of the year will be centered around shock, discipline, and practicality. You’re very tapped into your emotional side, so adapting to these new water might take a little more effort than you’re comfortable with. Comfort and safety are important to you, so may feel extra sentimental and nostalgic especially during the eclipse periods. Don’t feel threatened, though, because you’ll feel empowered to take charge in 2022, because thankfully, eclipse season is also firing up your passion and ambition. Overall, you’re learning to step into your power, and it’s an exciting new chapter for you to seek new adventures, explore diverse perspectives, and own your individuality.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Try something new as often as possible. When you get used to trying new things, even if they’re small like trying a new coffee shop or experimenting with hair color, in a way, you’re reprogramming different perspectives.
Leo Zodiac Signs: July 23 – August 22
What Resolution You Should Make: Aim high, but be realistic.
Leo, 2022 is here, and it’s all about your public image — think your career, life’s true purpose, and your reputation. You may feel overexposed, especially during Saturn’s retrograde in your sister sign, Aquarius, and it’s likely you’ll feel the pressure to deliver on your word. You’re about to learn the value of discipline and working hard, which is friction between your motto of “don’t take life too seriously.” Try to keep an open mind and welcome the disruptions that may come your way (and they will). You’re learning all about patience, but when it’s time to reap the rewards, you’ll realize the hard work was all worth it.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Remind yourself of what’s in your control. Breathing exercises and other mindfulness practices (meditation, yoga, walks, etc.) are excellent ways to cement yourself in the fact that you can’t control everything, only your perceptions.
Virgo Zodiac Signs: August 23 – September 22
What Resolution You Should Make: Take bolder risks.
You’re into the details, Virgo, and while 2022 will have you feeling in control most of the time, a Saturn retrograde in wild child Aquarius will have push you out of your comfort zone. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, as Jupiter, the bringer of luck and prosperity, enters Aquarius as well during its retrograde season — so don’t be afraid to experiment, get your clothes dirty, and abandon your planner for the night. This upcoming year will be all about switching up your routines, so use your shapeshifting abilities to your advantage to conquer the unpredictability of 2022.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Look at the bigger picture. Rather than fixate on the exact details, try to see the encompassing objective, especially when trying to find a solution. Avoid letting your attention to detail keep you from aiming high.
Libra Zodiac Signs: September 23 – October 22
What Resolution You Should Make: Take on more leadership.
Libra, you’re the life of the party, but in 2022, you’re learning to lead it. With your native planet, Venus (aka the planet of romance and self-expression) going retrograde in pragmatic Capricorn, you may feel on edge even withdrawn. You’re being tested to see the forest for the trees and to fulfill the leadership role you have the power to thrive in. You’ll feel liberated as Jupiter, the planet of luck, enters its retrograde in fellow air sign, Aquarius, allowing you to feel empowered to take the lead on different projects in 2022.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Don’t hesitate to speak up. Push your limits by participating in spaces you don’t typically participate in. Don’t just assert yourself in social invitations, be the host that throws them.
Scorpio Zodiac Signs: October 23 – November 21
What Resolution You Should Make: Practice mindfulness.
Prepare yourself for transformation, Scorpio, because 2022 is proving to be a year of letting go and accepting what is. That doesn’t necessarily mean defeat, but you will be shedding a lot of your layers as you find yourself forced to view your emotions analytically in 2022. And that’s only spearheaded by Eclipse season, which will be full of revelations as secrets and mysteries reveal themselves to you, so you might want to prepare yourself by staying present and finding time to decompress.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Set intentions to stay present. Behind every successful goal is a strong intention, so it’s important to set them even in the most mundane of tasks, like taking a bath or strolling in the park — set the intention to be present in everything you do.
Sagittarius Zodiac Signs: November 22 – December 21
What Resolution You Should Make: Make more commitments.
Sagittarius, let’s face it, you’re not one to be tamed, so making commitments can feel a little off to you. However, 2022 is all about cementing yourself in an auspicious deal in your career, relationships, and your place in the world, as you’ll see when your native planet, Jupiter (planet of luck and abundance), goes retrograde in freedom-fighter Aquarius. Because Aquarius is a fixed sign, you’re going to learn how to deliver on your commitments as you find yourself making connections in high places in 2022.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Buckle down on one project. You love to put all of your eggs in a million different baskets, but 2022 is teaching you everything about discipline. For you, that means doubling down on one big project to complete in the upcoming year and committing yourself to following through.
Capricorn Zodiac Signs: December 22 – January 19
What Resolution You Should Make: Take more time off.
Capricorn, 2022 will have you feeling empowered and motivated for the most part, but you may also grapple with the pressure to over perform, which is a common struggle you’ll feel during Venus retrograde, which occurs in your native sign. This period is shining a light on your the balancing act of your public image and your intimate relationships. These lessons follow as you’ll see, when Mars enters retrograde in the inconsistent sign of Gemini, causing conflict to your routine. All this tension will have you feeling like you’re treading water, but it’s just a stark reminder to take time for yourself and don’t feel bad about it.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Stick by your nonnegotiables. Create a list of practices and habits which you refuse to give up, regardless of the circumstance. For example, you need essential sleep, food, water, and shelter and are therefore nonnegotiables.
Aquarius Zodiac Signs: January 20 – February 18
What Resolution You Should Make: Come down to earth.
Aquarius, 2022 is shaping up to be a promising year of growth, leaving plenty of room for reflection and tapping into the mysterious depths of your subconscious, but this year is all about looking at things from a pragmatic and empathetic perspective. When Saturn, the planet of discipline and restriction is going retrograde, you may feel particularly powerful, but the influence of earth and water throughout the year are bringing you back down to earth.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Practice grounding techniques. Meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises can help you remain centered when things get out of whack or you feel like you’re losing control. Make a habit out of mindfulness so you can stay afloat in the year to come.
Pisces Zodiac Signs: February 19 – March 20
What Resolution You Should Make: Think realistically.
You’re a sucker for a good fantasy, Pisces, and that might feel especially true over the summer as your native planet Neptune enters its retrograde during this time. However, you should be careful not to fall into traps of delusions especially because the common themes of 2022 is centered around practicality and pragmatics — a couple of philosophies that conflict with yours. But your dreams are very much possible, but you’ll have to commit yourself to doing the work to reap the rewards, as you’ll see during Venus retrograde in no-nonsense Capricorn. Overall, this year is all about the big picture and fairness.
Tips On Keeping Your Resolution:
Set practical goals for yourself. If you find you overpromise but underdeliver, it’s probably because you want to be more capable than you are. But you’re human — you can only take on so much. Be mindful of your own capabilities and avoid setting unfair and unrealistic goals for yourself.
Whether you're a Taurus, Leo or Pisces, the New Year is an opportunity to reflect on what's most important for your future. What do you want your New Years resolution to be in 2022? Comment below and let us know!
