2022 Astrological Transits
xocean holding the 2022 astrological transit zine they created
Learning Astrology is leaning cycles, and patterns, and timing. It is a deeply intuitive and symbolic language that is based on the movement of the Cosmos.
Just like each year you, and I will have a birthday, which is called a Solar returns: or the moment the Sun returns to the same degree it was when you were born, each planet has a cyclical movement.
Each planet moves a different pace (that will be for another blog post) but those paces repeat themselves. An example, the Sun will always goes from Aries to Taurus to Gemini etc in the same amount of time. The Moon will travel through all 12 zodiac signs in 29 days. Mercury will zip quickly around the Sun, and will look as though ki is traveling backwards, aka Mercury Retrograde.
Each planet has their own cycle… its the interactions that change day by day, month by month, year by year. Yes Mercury will be retrograde three times a year, but the signs and aspects change.
This is true for all the planets, and together, all the aspects happening in the sky at once, creates a new expression of the same 10 planets: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Hand drawn Mundane astrological charts for the New Moons and Full Moons of 2022
Leaning Astrology is easier when you have a guide to help walk you through the movement of the astrological transits. Since 2017, I have created a transit zine that gives information of the transits, aspects, and ingresses of our Solar System.
In addition to a calendar with all of the 2022 transit information, I also hand drew each of the mundane charts for each New Moon and Full Moon of 2022.
2022 Transits, Aspects and Ingresses slayed out neatly within a 12 month calendar.
