As I was preparing this podcast, I hit the month of April and felt a big overwhelm, which I think means that it will be an intense month. I realized that I needed to make 2 podcasts on the Astrology of 2022. This podcast will feature the major planetary retrogrades and Full and New Moons for the entire year of 2022. I will also discuss major astrological events during the first 6 months of 2022 in this podcast.
Here are the Planetary retrograde cycles. Make note of a planet retrograding through your sun sign!
