Your special spring equinox 2022 horoscope is here

Here comes the sun! On March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, our source of warmth and nourishment will cross the celestial equator as it moves north. From then on, the days will grow longer until we reach the summer solstice in June.

The sun will also enter the action-sign of Aries that day, bringing a surge of energy and enthusiasm. It's time to get the show on the road. Workouts and social activities will come alive.  

Mercury will turn retrograde on May 10 and won't resume direct motion until June 3. During this period, Mercury will help you fine-tune your goals and improve your strategies. For now, keep chugging along with your plans and initiatives. The coast is clear. There are no impediments. 

Saturn, ruler of practical considerations, will then turn retrograde on June 4. So early June could prove to be a bit tricky with Mercury and Saturn both changing directions. It may feel like a game of musical chairs as you're offered opportunities vacated by others and they jump on openings left by you. You'll have to be quick to seize your chance when it comes. 

Meanwhile, Jupiter will continue in direct motion through the next three months, leading you to the manifestation of your dreams. Stick with the jovial planet and it will fill you with optimism. 

It's been a long, hard winter for so many of us. Now, the sap is flowing in the trees and we can bask in the sun to our heart's content, allowing its golden light to enliven us. Make a list of your hopes, dreams and aspirations — the sun will illuminate your path. 

Here is your spring equinox horoscope:

Aries

You're doing your best to come up with a successful plan under trying circumstances.  Unfortunately, you aren't getting much helpful direction. It's as if you're trying to study for a big exam without your textbook and class notes. That's all the more reason to work with what you're absolutely sure of. Your intuitive talents will pull you through in the coming months. Your insecurity is largely unwarranted. You are doing great.

Taurus

There may soon be something to celebrate — at least that's what you're feeling deep in your bones. Still, it's hard to believe it will come when it feels like so much tension surrounds you. After a long, emotional winter, we are now in a fresh season of hope and growth. Much to your relief, disagreements and old conflicts will naturally move toward resolution. You are on the road to a better future.

Gemini

You've become heartily sick of the status quo. There has been an absence of light in a key area of your life, but just when it seems all is hopeless, the sun will shine once more. Winter has been a long haul, and you're ready to bring about big, lasting improvements. Now, your energy is increasing, your frustration is waning and you can clearly see where you've been going wrong. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. 

Cancer

The time has come to summon your creativity and imagination. You may not have all the ingredients you need to realize your dreams yet, but it won't be long before you do. The elements are all accessible. In the coming months, you will spring into action getting everything you need together and putting plans into place. Once you find your inspiration, there will be no stopping you. You will circumvent all that seems difficult, daunting or depressing with aplomb. 

Leo

Every day brings a new lesson. But it's not as if you're entering fresh territory each time, rather, it's your perception that is changing. In the coming months, you will come to see your existing situation differently. Hidden opportunities will be brought to your attention. Little did you know they've been right under your feet for ages. Don't feel stupid about missing them — be glad that they are finally coming into focus. There is a time for everything. 

Virgo

If you've ever walked a great distance wearing a heavy backpack, you'll remember the wonderful sense of relief that comes when you finally take it off. You've been carrying an emotional and material burden for a long time. It's as if an invisible force has been working against you, causing you to overcomplicate simple issues. The next few months will give you a chance to shake some of this weight off your shoulders. No more fretting over problems — solace and happiness are on their way. 

Libra

Cars allow us to breathe clean, filtered air as we sit in heavy traffic. But occasionally, we have to walk through it, and we inevitably breathe in revolting exhaust fumes. Some aspects of a situation you're dealing with strike you as wrong, but you currently don't have much choice — you must hold your nose and deal with them as you get through it. Know that the coming months will bring you something you dearly desire: freedom! 

Scorpio

There's a certain commodity you need way more of in your life. Well, while you're waiting, you can begin by focusing on what you currently do have. There must be a way of conserving it. If you're worried about exhausting your supply, a simple change in attitude may help. There are indications of a change for the better. In the coming months, you'll have the opportunity to get plenty more of that resource. You might even find it growing on trees.

Sagittarius

Recently, your expectations have been challenged. You've invested a lot of time and effort in a project that has failed to bear fruit — and it should be working, since you've done everything right. Perhaps you are being impatient. It's very likely that a little more time is required. The coming months will bring positive change. The ice will break, everything will start flowing and you will still stand to profit in a big way. 

Capricorn

You need to take a look at the matters you care about deeply, as it seems your most passionate preoccupation may be having quite an impact on your emotions. There is something that you want more than anything. You fear that you may never get it, but you need to ignore this fear. Try not to stress yourself out. A great benevolent source is shining down on you. Keep looking for the good. In the coming months, you will realize that there is less to worry about than you currently think. 

Aquarius

You require a certain level of harmony and happiness for your needs to be met. But this has been hard to achieve lately because the winds of destiny are buffeting your ship. Since you haven't got time to wait for a miracle, you'll have to create your own. The coming months will demand growth concerning your self-respect. As it amasses, a clear plan will emerge for the future. You are dealing with a difficult and delicate issue, and therefore you must be sensitive but also sensible. A constructive decision can — and will — be made.  

Pisces

There are several conflicting demands on your time and energy right now. It's not in your nature to cut people off, but you're tearing yourself apart trying to play all these incompatible roles. Your uncertainty and indecision is only making matters worse. It's crucial to devote more attention to your own needs. In the coming months, you'll find that your confusion will be replaced by clarity and certitude. Something productive will emerge as your sense of self grows.
