Mercury goes retrograde four times in 2022, and the first transit is just around the corner. Starting on January 14, Mercury—the planet associated with technology, travel, and communication—will appear to be moving backwards, and will continue to do so until February 3, inviting us to introspect and reconsider certain aspects of our lives. With the upcoming Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn, astrologer Corina Crysler says the transit presents a great opportunity to blend the dreamy air sign energy with the goal-oriented Earth sign energy.
“This Mercury retrograde has us not only connecting with higher consciousness, but also helps us root the messages into the body—or, make the intangible tangible,” says Crysler. “This will be great for our 2022 visions or goals, especially with the nature of this Venus retrograde in Capricorn.”
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn happens at the tail end of Venus retrograde, which focuses on love, beauty, and value. When Mercury retrograde moves from Aquarius (where it will be from January 14th to the 25th) into Capricorn (where it will be from January 26th to February 3), “it will assist Venus in the last moments of [that] retrograde cycle, creating more awakening around our values, limiting beliefs, relationships, and our perception on the way we think things ‘need to be.’”
Read on to learn what Crysler forecasts the two-sign retrograde will bring, as well as what each sign can expect from Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn.
