Your Weekly Horoscope for January 30, 2022

Alex Sandoval

Thanks to a new moon in futuristic Aquarius and Mercury going direct following its first retrograde of the year, this week could feel like the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter.

For starters, on Sunday, January 30, the confident sun in Aquarius squares off against Uranus in Taurus, heightening nervous, anxious, uneasy vibes, which will then roll right into the new moon. The lunar event hits on Monday, January 31 (if you're on Pacific time) or Tuesday, February 1 (if you're on Eastern) in fixed air sign Aquarius, turning your focus to long-term wishes and collaborative efforts.

And on Thursday, February 3, you can breathe a sigh of relief that the tech glitches, miscommunications, and any other aggravation-inducing trends of the past three weeks will begin to abate, because Mercury retrograde comes to a close. Because it'll happen in industrious Capricorn — and Mars and Venus are there, too — you wouldn't be alone in wanting to get down to biz, stat.

Then on Friday, February 4, Mars forms a friendly sextile to go-getter Jupiter, super-charging take-charge energy. The same day, the confident sun pairs up with Saturn in Aquarius, which can fuel your ability to make serious moves to hit big-picture goals.
