Thank you for another great year in Paradise! We can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for Paradise News!

2022 Astrology Forecast by Sarah Lyons

Happy New Year, Everyone! 2022 has begun but instead of charging right out of the gate to start new goals, the celestial patterns are more inclined to have us REthink and REvise our plans! Venus will be REtrograde until January 29th, for love, values, and money REsets. Mercury REtrogrades on January 14th, for REleasing and REconsidering before we jump into new endeavors. Eclipses come in spring, then later in the fall joined by a Mars REtrograde. Pisces and Aries enjoy the expansion of Jupiter this year.
