Between Olivia Rodrigo dropping her iconic heartbreak album, Sour, and Adele’s latest musical masterpiece, 30, one could confidently conclude that 2021 was a tumultuous year of being unlucky in love. But for those who are still holding out hope for romance, it might be worth it to look to the cosmos for a bit of intimate foresight. POPSUGAR spoke with pop culture astrologer for the New York Post and Page Six, Kyle Thomas, to dish the details of your love horoscope for 2022, and renew your hope for love in the year to come.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, 2022 is about healing your wounds and figuring out what you want in a romantic relationship, so give yourself time to reflect on love and decide what you want out of love.
“Saturn, the planet of discipline, is orbiting in your eleventh house of friendships, so you might find your focus for 2022 in platonic relationships and your relationship to your community. But once you commit to finding love, your new partner will likely be sophisticated and in a place of power! However, the friendships in your life are important to focus on as they can help bring you closer to your goals and dreams,” says Thomas.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Ready to meet your soulmate, Taurus? Well, it’s possible that 2022 will be the year that you do! Alternatively, it’s possible that you’ve already met them, but 2022 will help you realize their potential as a partner.
“Community is a theme for Taurus in 2022, and some may find their soulmate weaved into their network, but have been waiting for the right time to act on it. Venus, your ruling planet of love and romance, will enter retrograde at the beginning of 2022, so some Taureans may feel nostalgic and lust for people from their past. Others may feel drawn to people from an entirely different lifestyle and background from them,” explains Thomas.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Out with the old, in with the new, Gemini! 2022 is all about reimagining your thoughts on love, and finding your sensual power.
“Venus, the planet of romance, will enter retrograde at the top of 2022, encouraging you to explore your needs, both sexual and intimate. Once Mars, the planet of sex and passion, enters retrograde in Gemini around October, you’ll feel extra sexy, magnetic, and ready for love,” says Thomas.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, 2022 is a year for healing, becoming comfortable with intimacy, and finding closure. Take your time in 2022 to learn about your needs in love.
“Saturn, which rules discipline and regulation, is hitting your area of intimacy throughout 2022. You might center your focus on healing your heart and learning the power of intimacy, or maybe you’re learning to trust again. In 2022, you’ll find yourself making peace with the past as you look for closure,” explains Thomas.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos, get ready to step into your power because the upcoming year is here to remind you of your toughness and resiliency. If you’ve been facing loss or adversity in 2021, you can be sure that 2022 will be a new year to attract love and happiness.
“Jupiter, the planet of luck, is smiling down on your relationship sector, so you’ll find a boost of energy in areas of intimacy. If you’ve been healing from hurt from past relationships this year, the next will be full of healing. But, don’t be too proud to ask for support from others as you process your healing,” says Thomas.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, 2022 will be a magical time for you when it comes to romance. If you’re looking for a partner, there’s a good chance you’ll find your match in 2022. If you’re in a relationship that’s lost its spark, 2022 will give you the strength to find love elsewhere.
“Jupiter, the planet of luck, is leading you to a special union and commitment. Both single and committed Virgos will feel the exciting glow of romance in 2022, but some will also likely find the courage to walk away from unfulfilling relationships,” says Thomas.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, 2022 is projected to provide you a year of opportunity when it comes to love. Some of you may feel eager to find your soulmate, while others may be struggling to keep the romance alive, but remember your worth and don’t be afraid to speak what’s on your heart.
“Libra, you’re learning some tough lessons as Saturn, which represents karma and discipline, will orbit in your area of passion. Finding or keeping love may feel challenging as you learn that romance may be more than what you bargained for,” explains Thomas.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Get ready to welcome transformative love, Scorpio, because 2022 is inspiring you to find others on your level. Don’t be afraid to walk away from others if they aren’t serving you.
“Through your transformation in 2022, you may feel you’re outgrowing some of your relationships and feel inclined to let go, making room for better connections. You may choose to take your relationship to the next level, whether through marriage or talking long-term with your partner. But if you don’t align with one another, you could find yourself leaving,” says Thomas.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, you’ll find that 2022 will light a fire of love. While most of 2022 is about family for you, you’ll find loads of passion in the beginning half of 2022, so be open to it, and don’t be afraid of commitment!
“Lucky planet Jupiter will be spinning in your area of passion from May to October, so you’ll find an emphasis in your family and domestic partnerships. When Jupiter moves into your house of passion during the summer and fall, you’ll find more time to reserve for love – whether it’s dating, or sparking fire in your committed relationship,” says Thomas.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, 2022 will be a powerful year for love – both platonic and romantic. As you work through big changes, you may feel you’ve outgrown some people in your life, so be prepared for endings.
“Eclipses will occur in your houses of passion and friendship, so you’ll notice huge changes in these areas. You may meet new love interests if you’re single, but committed Capricorns will find a rekindling of love with their partner and move into the next phase of their relationship. Conversely, you may find yourself tempted with karmic patterns but learn how much you’ve outgrown even those,” says Thomas.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius, 2022 is all about self-love as you learn to ebb and flow through relationships that work for, and against you. Stay true to what you learned this year, and carry on in 2022. Finding closure will be a huge theme for you next year.
“Saturn has been orbiting in your sign since 2021, helping you uncover hard lessons and form new, healthier patterns. You’re finding your power through Saturn’s tough love, but lucky Jupiter will help remind you of your self-worth,” says Thomas.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Dream away, Pisces, because 2022 is a lucky and magical year for you. Use this time to reflect and evaluate your ideas of love, including how you want it to be part of your life. This will be important because you’ll encounter so much love in 2022.
“Jupiter, the lucky planet of expansion, will be living in your zodiac sign for most of 2022, opening your heart to love and helping you find joy in your relationships. While your past may come to visit, you should focus on attracting new connections instead,” says Thomas.
