Astrology 2022: how to use the energies of the planets to transform yourself –

How can the energy of the planets and astrology teach us how to better deal with everyday issues in 2022? What about Kundalini Yoga? If you’ve read my previous columns, you know that everything we’re going through, especially since 2020, is part of the evolution of consciousness. Despite all the previous challenges, and those to come, I believe that these events are, little by little, contributing to making us better people.

My personal experience made me discover the power of the mind, the connection between body, mind and soul. After facing a long period with chronic low back pain and eczema, physical problems that caused me pain and suffering, I can say that today I see all of this as a learning experience and that if I hadn’t gone through these problems I wouldn’t be who I am today.

And it was after that that I also started to pay attention to astrological movements and aspects – energetic encounters between planets at specific angles. Challenges happen both on an individual and collective level. And what will the new lesson be? I learned that without going through the difficulties of everyday life and without looking at individual or collective aspects that we don’t like, that is, our shadows, there is no evolution.

In 2022 we will have many important planetary aspects. I’ll mention a few here so you can analyze them in your natal chart.

PLUTO MOVEMENT

One of them is the movement of Pluto, which entered Capricorn in 2008 (remember the American housing crisis?), and will enter the last 5 degrees of Capricorn, between 26 and 28 degrees, later this year. That is, we will live the last lessons of Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. He will keep bringing more and more to the surface everything that was previously unseen. What was hidden will come to light. This generates even more individual responsibility, as this final path will make us even more masters of our own being and destiny.

Pluto’s movement will show that each person must seek their own truth. The changes will be profound and permanent in each of us. Nothing will be like before. In my opinion Pluto’s energy is the greatest catalyst for the new era and we will still be very grateful for everything it has shown us so far and helped to transform. If you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Asc, Mars, Venus and Mercury) between 26-28 degrees of Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus, you will feel the impact even more strongly.

JUPITER MOVEMENT

Jupiter, the potentializing planet that entered the sign of Pisces at the end of 2021, will conjunct Neptune, ruler of the sign of Pisces, between April 8th and 17th. That is, Jupiter will increase the impact of Neptunian energies on all of us. Neptune, the planet of spirituality, has given us a lot of support throughout this evolutionary process that we are going through. We will have more opportunities to dissolve emotions, feelings and traumas that are no longer aligned with our new vibrational state. However, Neptune is also linked to some illnesses and possible confusion or distraction. So, this year, it will be important to give special attention to health in an integral way. For us to feel the positive effects of Neptune on the collective, it will be essential to have more and more people working on expanding consciousness, creating space in their lives to get in touch with their soul.

MOVEMENT OF MARS

Mars, which goes retrograde every two years, will go retrograde at the end of October in Gemini and will cover the same area as Venus retrograde in 2020 and Mercury retrograde in 2021. The fact that these three personal planets are retrograde in Gemini, have a lot to say. tell us. Gemini is the sign responsible for our mental abilities and like the mind, it works through communication, duality and polarity. Venus made its retrogradation in 2020 in this same angle and sign, an aspect that taught us a lot about our values ​​and helped us to align our purposes with our soul. Last year, Mercury also went retrograde in Gemini, in the same degrees, and worked on our communication, expanded our mental capacity in several ways.

When Mars passes through these same points where Venus, Mercury and the North Node passed in the last two years, it will reactivate these same energies. During this period of Mars retrogradation pay close attention to the actions you take. Mars is linked to actions and decisions, and during this season in Gemini you will always have two options, one more conscious option, a higher vibration than the other or you will have to do both twice. It will be a period in which you will have to know how to take care of your mind so as not to be mentally overloaded and able to think clearly. If you have personal planets in your natal chart between the 8th and 25th degrees of Gemini you will also feel the impact of Mars retrograde in the fourth quarter even more.

WHAT TO DO

There are many other important alignments this year, but these are just a few examples. I believe that we are evolving at a speed that was unimaginable a few years ago, and that is good. Since I discovered the practice of Kundalini Yoga I learned that this moment would come, but I had no idea how it would be. Fortunately Kundalini Yoga has tools available to help us.

For this year we have two meditations that I recommend. The first is the meditation for the Arc Line and for Cleaning Karmas, which will work on our sixth body, as this year’s numerology is the number 6 and 2O. The second is the Mantra for Sanity that you can listen to every day to help work your shadows. These videos are available on my YouTube channel and on my Spotify playlist.

Good start to the year, keep getting in touch with your essence, because that way you will be able to intuitively overcome each challenge in the best possible way. The Universe wants our good, and wants our evolution, so don’t forget that you are not alone. We are all in this process together and We are all One.
