Virgo Horoscope 2022: What the Stars Predict for You This Year

Happy 2022, beautiful Virgo. You’re a quick-thinking Earth sign, known for your hard work, practical nature, and brilliant mind. And, of course, you’re the low-key kinkiest sign of the zodiac. You’re ruling planet is meticulous Mars, the messenger of the gods. As a result, you tend to be a fantastic communicator and often help others find their voice. The only fly in the ointment is all of those annoying Mercury retrogrades you have to survive.

The first of the year begins on Friday, January 14, and lasts until Thursday, February 3. As a reminder, Mercury retrogrades make communication difficult, cause us to make embarrassing typos or text the wrong person, and infamously bring exes back from the grave. Because Mercury is your ruling planet, you tend to be extra affected by these retrogrades, which happen multiple times a year. Just double-check the fine print on important documents, allow additional travel time, and do not risk letting stress into your life by replying to a toxic ex’s DM.

There’s a powerful full moon in your sign on Friday, March 18. Fulls moons are a time of culmination. If you’ve been working hard on a professional project, these are the days when you finally complete it (or receive welcome praise for your work). However, full moons can leave you feeling on edge because they bring out our primal nature. Yes, Virgo, you are a drama queen, but hold back from starting any fights. Instead, channel your energy into hot sex, either with a partner or by yourself with a new sex toy.

Mercury goes retrograde again on Tuesday, May 10, before finally going direct on Friday, June 3. During this time, consider investing more into your mental health. For example, begin a meditation practice or start working with a therapist if you haven’t already. Mercury retrogrades will happen every few months, but they’ll become much more bearable if you have a solid self-care plan in place. Communication flows much more manageable when your ruling planet, Mercury, comes home to your sign, Virgo, on Thursday, August 4. It will stay there through Thursday, August 25. But still, Virgo, get that self-care plan into place. You’re the healer of the zodiac, but your efforts must begin with yourself.

The sun enters your sign, kicking off Virgo season, on Monday, August 22. Happy solar return! 2022 is a year about staying true to oneself and personal independence, primarily because Saturn, the planet of responsibility is paired with independent Aquarius. As a result, your assignment is to stay true to yourself. If you want a birthday bash, go for it, Virgo, but don’t feel guilty if you prefer a quiet night in or a low-key romantic date night.

Saturday, August 27, brings a new moon in Virgo. Following themes from earlier this year, this is an ideal night to prioritize your mental health. And that doesn’t have to mean anything boring, Virgo. Healthy relationships are crucial to well-being. If you’re in a relationship, use the new moon for an intimate night of laughter and love-making. If you’re single or just need a break from bae, enjoy dinner with trusted friends.

Regardless of your relationship status, your love life is in for a makeover when Venus enters your sign on Monday, September 5, where it will stay until Thursday, September 29. September is a month for first dates, butterflies in your stomach, and sweet nothings during pillow talk. You can over-analyze Virgo, which is not great for anxiety. If you find yourself filled with self-doubt in the middle of a romantic night out, remind yourself that you’re deserving of love. Write that on your mirror in lipstick if you need to so that you see it every day. And, by the way, when Venus is in your sign, there’s always a chance of money moves coming your way. It’s also a great time to make changes to your appearance, so go ahead and try that new hair color.

Mercury goes retrograde yet again on Friday, September 9. It enters your sign on Friday, September 23, before going direct on Sunday, October 2. Mark these dates in your calendar so you can allow time for extra self-care, but remember, Virgo. Your ruling planet is always going retrograde and stirring up trouble. You’re going to have to learn how to outsmart it, and once again, that starts with self-care.

On Thursday, September 29, Ceres enters Virgo. The astrologically-important asteroid will stay in your sign until Sunday, December 18. Ceres is associated with caretaking, food, and even grief. It rules traits associated with the divine feminine, which we all contain regardless of our gender. As a result, the latter have of the year will inspire you to cook for friends and lovers. You may also see yourself offering to take care of a sick friend or relative. But remember, Virgo, always put your oxygen mask on first. You’re of no use to anyone if you aren’t taking care of yourself.

The year ends with one more Mercury retrograde starting on Thursday, December 29. So if you’re going out for New Year’s Eve, definitely allow extra time for travel! And remember, Virgo, celebrate how you want to celebrate. 2022 is about being yourself (no apologies allowed). See you next year!
